Transferring photos from a memory device to the computer using iPhoto
If you have iPhoto installed on your computer, you can use it to view photos stored on a memory device and to
transfer them to the computer. iPhoto automatically launches on your computer when you insert a memory device
into the printer.
1 Insert a memory card or flash drive into the printer, or connect a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to the printer.
2 When the printer recognizes that a memory device is installed, appears on the Finder desktop. Wait for
this icon to appear before doing anything with the memory device.
If the printer does not read the memory device, remove and reinsert it. For more information, see “Memory card
reader and PictBridge troubleshooting” on page 104.
3 If iPhoto does not launch automatically on your computer, go to Applications, and then double-click iPhoto.
Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
