Copying Photos to Your Computer

If you’ve taken digital photos with your camera, you can insert the memory card into your printer’s memory card slot and copy the photos to your computer. You can access the contents of the card just like any drive on your computer.

1.Make sure your computer and printer are connected and turned on.

2.Open the memory card door.

3.Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on the printer, as shown on page 13.

4.In Windows XP, you see a screen like this:

You can choose any supported programs or options to open, view, or print your photos.

In Windows 98, Me, or 2000, PhotoStarter opens and copies your pictures to the Photos folder on your desktop. If this is the first time you’ve inserted a memory card, you see this message instead. Follow the instructions on page 18 to configure PhotoStarter.

On a Macintosh with Mac® OS X or Mac OS® 9, a drive icon appears on your desktop. You can open the drive and copy your photos to your computer. If you have iPhotoTM and you have it set to open when a digital camera is connected, it will open when you insert a memory card.

5.When you’re done copying photos, remove the card as described on page 18.

Caution: If you access the card from your computer and delete files from the card, add files to the card, or format the card, the card may not work correctly with your camera and the printer may not be able to read the files on the card.

Always format cards and delete pictures using your camera, and do not copy files to the card from your computer.
