Troubleshooting

Notes Images can be printed directly from digital cameras and digital video camcorders that are compatible with this printer.

If the connected digital camera or digital video camcorder is not supported, the POWER lamp on the printer flashes nine times. If this happens, disconnect the connection cable and press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer.

If the operation time or data transmission time is too long when the digital camera or digital video camcorder is connected to this printer, a communication time error may occur and no more images can be printed. If this error occurs, disconnect the cable between the printer and the connected device and press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer. After reconnecting the cable between the printer and the device, turn the device's power back on.

When the paper is curled or the printed surface of the paper is scratched during printing, select Prevent paper abrasion in the Custom Settings screen.

For more details, also refer to the user's manual for the digital camera or digital video camcorder.

If there is a problem with the digital camera or digital video camcorder, contact the Customer Care Center.
