Printing Via Direct USB Connection

When the camera is connected to a PictBridge-compatible printer via the UC-E6 USB cable, selected pictures can be printed directly from the camera memory card.

1 Set the USB option to PTP

Before pictures can be printed via direct USB connection, the USB op- tion in the setup menu must be set to PTP ( 141; the default option is Mass storage). Be sure to change the USB option before connecting the printer.

2 Connect the USB cable

After confirming that the camera is off, connect the

UC-E6 USB cable as shown at right.

Connecting the USB Cable

The camera digital I/O connector is on a slight angle.

Match this angle when connecting the USB cable.

Before Printing

Before printing, make sure that the printer supports PictBridge. Paper type, tray, and size selections are made from the printer; see the printer manual for details.

Pictures That Can Not Be Printed by Direct USB Connection

Movies ( 59) and RAW-quality pictures ( 33) can not be printed via direct USB connection. Some printers may not support direct printing of HI-quality (TIFF) images; consult the documentation provided with the printer for more information.

Use a Reliable Power Source

When printing pictures via direct USB connection, be sure the battery is fully charged. If in doubt, recharge the battery before printing or use the optional EH-54 AC adapter.

PictBridge

PictBridge is an industry standard that ensures compatibility between cameras and printers, allowing pictures to be printed directly from the camera without using a computer.
