Connecting to other devices
This printer offers several ways of connecting to computers or other devices. Each
connection type lets you do different things.
● Memory cards: Print directly from a memory card to the printer.
● USB: Save photos from a memory card inserted in the printer to a computer
where you can enhance or organize them in the HP Image Zone or other
software. For more information, see Saving photos to a computer and Using
creative options in the printer software.
● PictBridge: Print directly from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera to the
printer.
● Bluetooth: Print from any device with Bluetooth wireless technology—such as a
digital camera, a camera phone, or a PDA—to the printer. The optional
HP Bluetooth wireless printer adapter is required.
● HP iPod: Print directly from an HP iPod (with photos stored in it) to the printer.
