Print photos from a PictBridge camera or other PictBridge device

This section describes the procedure for printing from a PictBridge digital camera. The procedure for printing from other PictBridge devices—such as camera phones and other image capture devices—is very similar. Review the documentation that came with your PictBridge device for specific information.

When you print from a digital camera, the printer uses the settings that you selected on the camera. For more information, see the documentation that came with the camera.

To print using a PictBridge-certified camera

1.Load photo paper in the printer.

2.Turn on the PictBridge-certified digital camera.

3.Make sure the USB configuration setting of the camera is set to Digital Camera, and then connect the camera to the camera port of the printer using the USB cable that came with the PictBridge-certified camera. The Photo light flashes green while the camera establishes a connection to the printer, and then turns solid green.

See the camera documentation for more information about the USB configuration setting. The name of the setting and its options may differ on non-HP digital cameras.

4.If you already selected photos for printing on the camera, the Print DPOF Photos? dialog box is displayed on the camera. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) lets the user mark photos on a digital camera for printing and include other image information, such as number of copies to be printed. Select Yes to print the pre-selected photos, or select No to bypass printing pre-selected photos.

5.Use the options and controls on your camera to print your photos. See the camera documentation for more information. The PictBridge light flashes while the photos are printing.
