Using a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to control printing photos

You can connect a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to the printer, and use the buttons on the camera to control and print photos.

1Insert one end of the USB cable into the camera.

2Insert the other end of the cable into the PictBridge port on the front of the printer.

Warning: Do not touch the USB cable, any network adapter, or the printer in the area shown while actively printing from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera. A loss of data can occur. Also, do not remove the USB cable or network adapter while actively printing from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera.

Notes:

• Make sure the PictBridge-enabled digital camera is set to the correct USB mode. For more information, see the documentation that came with your camera.

• The printer recognizes one active media device at a time. If you have a memory card already inserted when

you connect a PictBridge-enabled digital camera, the light and the		A	light blink alternately until the




memory card is removed or the camera is unplugged.

3If the PictBridge connection is successful, the camera automatically switches to print mode, the PictBridge symbol appears on the camera display, or a message recognizing the connection appears on the camera display, depending on your camera.

For more information, see the documentation that came with your camera.

4Follow the instructions in the documentation that came with your camera to select and print photos.
