Printing Photographs Directly from a Compliant Device
You can connect a PictBridge compliant device such as a digital camera, camcorder, or mobile phone
connect to the machine using a USB cable recommended by the device's manufacturer, and print
recorded images directly without using a computer.
Important
Do not use the USB cable longer than around 10 feet / 3 meters to connect any PictBridge
compliant device to the machine since it may affect the operation of other peripheral devices.
Note
When printing photos with the PictBridge compliant device connected to the machine, we
recommend the use of the AC adapter supplied with the device. If you are using the device battery,
be sure to charge it fully.
Depending on the model or brand of your device, you may have to select a print mode compliant
with PictBridge before connecting the device. You may also have to turn on the device or select Play
mode manually after connecting the device to the machine.
Perform necessary operations on the PictBridge compliant device before connecting it to this
machine according to instructions given in the device's instruction manual.
1. Make sure that the machine is turned on.
2. Load paper.
3. Make sure that the PictBridge compliant device is turned off.
4. Connect the PictBridge compliant device to the machine using a USB cable (A)
recommended by the device's manufacturer.
The PictBridge compliant device turns on automatically.
If your device does not turn on automatically, turn it on manually.
When machine is correctly connected to the device, the message that the machine is connected will
