The all-in-one cannot read photos on the memory card

z

Check the memory card

• The memory card might be corrupt.

• The photos might be in a format that the all-in-one does not recognize. An error

message should appear on the control-panel display if the format is unrecognizable.
Use the procedure for printing photos from the control panel, because more formats
might be recognized (see

Printing photos from the control panel

for more information).

If the all-in-one is connected to a computer, you can save the photos from the memory
card to your computer and then print them from a software program.

Some photos on the memory card will not print, causing the print job to
cancel

z

Check the photo files

• Print a proof sheet and note which photos are corrupt. Set up the print job so that it

does not include the corrupted photos. See

Printing a proof sheet

for more information.

Solving color problems

Whenever you experience color-related problems with the all-in-one, calibrate the color before
trying any other steps. See
