Wireless Transfer and Printing

Using the camera’s built-in IEEE 802.11b/g wireless transmitter, you can:

•Transmit pictures to a computer for storage and editing ( 71–72)

•Save pictures directly to the computer hard disk as they are taken ( 73)

•Print pictures on a printer connected to a wireless network ( 73; if the optional PD-10 wireless printer adapter is used with a PictBridge printer, the printer need not be connected to a computer)

Connecting to a Wireless Network

Wireless transfer and printing requires a wireless local-area network (LAN) compat- ible with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. The network can consist of the camera in peer-to-peer communication with a single computer equipped with a wireless LAN adapter (ad-hoc mode; IEEE 802.11b only) or of a camera connected to a wireless network via a wireless LAN access point (infrastructure mode).

Wireless transfer is available with computers running Windows XP Home Edition/ Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 or later (Service Pack 2 or later recom- mended) or Mac OS X version 10.3 or later. To confi gure the camera for use with the wireless network, you will also need the Wireless Camera Setup Utility, which is installed with Picture Project; see the Quick Start Guide and the PictureProject Refer- ence Manual (on CD) for installation instructions.
