3.Turn on the printer and your storage device.

After a moment, the printer reads and counts the number of images on your card. When it’s done, your images are available for printing (see page 11).

Saving your photos to an external device

If you don’t have a computer, you can save photos that are on your camera’s memory card to an external device that you connect directly to your printer. This lets you delete the images on your memory card and reuse it without losing your original photos. Follow the steps below to save your photos to a Zip disk, CD-R, DVD-R, or thumb drive:

Note:

Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of any cameras or drives. If you’re not sure about your camera or drive, you can try connecting it. If it’s not compatible, you’ll see a screen saying that the connected device cannot be used.

1.Make sure the printer is turned on and the memory card you want to back up is inserted in the printer.

2.If you are using a CD-R/RW drive or Zip drive, plug it into an electrical outlet if required.

3.Connect a USB cable from your drive to the EXT I/F USB port on the front of the printer (see page 9).

4.Press the q Setup button on the printer.

5.Press the u or d button to highlight Backup, then press the r button.

6.Press the OK button. When you see the “Starting backup” message, press the OK button again to start the backup procedure. You may have to follow additional instructions on the printer screen. All the photos on your card are copied to your external storage drive. Depending on how many photos there are, this may take several minutes.

Note:

❏Do not perform backup while printing from the computer to the printer.

❏Do not connect the external storage drive while the computer is accessing the memory card in the printer.

❏The format for writing to CD-R is Multisession (Mode 1) and the file system is ISO 9660. Due to the ISO 9660 file system, the contents of a memory card that has 8 or more folder levels cannot be backed up to CD-R.

❏The characters that can be used for folder and file names on the CD-R are capitals and the underscore (_). Other characters are changed to underscores when backing up to CD-R.

Printing Directly from a Digital Camera

PictBridge and USB DIRECT-PRINT lets you print your photos by connecting your digital camera directly to the printer.

Connecting and Printing

1.Make sure your printer is not printing from a computer.

2.Make sure that no memory card is loaded.

3.Turn the printer and load the type of paper you want to use. (see page 7)

4.Use the printer’s control panel to adjust the print setting. (e.g. Paper Type, Paper Size, and Layout)

5.Turn the digital camera, then connect the printer and the digital camera with a USB cable.

6.Use the digital camera to select the photo you want to print. Be sure to make the desired setting on the digital camera because the digital camera settings generally take precedence over the printer settings.

7.Print from the digital camera.

Note:

❏Do not backup before or while a digital camera is connected to the printer.

❏Some of the setting on your digital camera may not be reflected in the output because of the printer’s specifications.

❏Depending on the type of digital camera, images containing DPOF information may not be available for CD/DVD printing.
