Understanding memory cards

Understanding memory cards

If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the memory card into the printer to print or save your photos. The printer steps you through the process.

For more information on how to print files from a memory card, see “Printing from a memory card” on page 26. For more information on how to save files from a memory card to your computer, see “Chapter 5 Saving photos” on page 53.

Types of memory cards

The printer can read CompactFlash Association (CFA) certified Type I & II, IBM Microdrive, and SmartMedia memory cards. These cards are manufactured by several vendors and are available in a variety of storage capacities. You can purchase memory cards where you purchased your digital camera or at most computer supply stores.

Caution:

Using another type of memory card may damage the memory card,

 

the printer, or both.

 

 

Inserting a memory card

Once you have taken photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or save them directly to your computer using the printer. Before you insert a memory card, be sure the printer is turned ON.

Note: The printer can only access one memory card slot at a time.

When the memory card is inserted correctly, the card slot indicator light illuminates. The LCD screen displays Reading for a moment, shows the number of photos found on the memory card, then displays ALL PHOTOS – 1 copy – Index.
