z PictBridge is an industry standard enabling a range of digital photo solutions, including the direct
printing of photos from a digital still camera, camcorder or mobile phone* without the need to use a
computer. A device can be connected to this printer for direct printing regardless of the manufacturer or
the model as long as it complies with the PictBridge standard.

* PictBridge compatible digital still cameras, digital camcorders, and camera-equipped mobile phones
are hereafter collectively referred to as “PictBridge compliant device”.
Caution
Do not connect any equipment other than PictBridge compliant devices to the Direct Print Port of
the printer. If you do so, electric shock, fire, or damage to the device could result.
Note
When printing photos with the digital device connected to the printer, 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.
Note
The Print Head cannot be aligned using the controls of the PictBridge compliant device. If Print

to align the Print Head as follows.

Sheet Feeder. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button until the POWER lamp flashes green four
times, and then release it immediately. The print head alignment pattern is printed, and the print
head position is adjusted automatically.
