Notes:

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

The printer recognizes one active media device at a time. If you insert more than one media device, a message appears on the display prompting you to designate the device you want the printer to recognize.

If you have a memory card inserted when you connect a PictBridge-enabled camera, an error message will be displayed telling the you to remove one of the devices.

If the PictBridge connection is successful, the following appears on the printer display: PictBridge camera detected. Press to change settings. If any other message appears, see “Error messages on the printer display” on page 158.

Values selected within the menu items are the settings used for Pictbridge printing if no explicit selection is made from the camera.

3Follow the instructions in the camera documentation to select and print photos.

Note: If the printer is turned off while the camera is connected, you must disconnect and then reconnect the camera.
