Using a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to control printing photos
You can connect a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to the printer, and use the buttons on the camera to select and
print photos.
1 Insert one end of the USB cable into the camera.
Note: Use only the USB cable that came with the digital camera.
2 Insert the other end of the cable into the PictBridge port on the front of the printer.
Warning: Do not touch the USB cable, any network adapter, or the printer in the area shown while actively
printing from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera. A loss of data can occur. Also, do not remove the USB cable
or network adapter while actively printing from a PictBridge-enabled digital camera.
Notes:
Make sure the PictBridge-enabled digital camera is set to the correct USB mode. For more information, see
the camera documentation.
The printer recognizes one active media device at a time. If you insert more than one media device, a
message appears on the display prompting you to designate the device you want the printer to recognize.
If you have a memory card inserted when you connect a PictBridge-enabled camera, an error message will
be displayed telling the you to remove one of the devices.
If the PictBridge connection is successful, the following appears on the printer display: PictBridge
camera detected. Press
to change settings. If any other message appears, see “Error
messages on the computer screen” on page 197.
Values selected within the menu items are the settings used for Pictbridge printing if no explicit selection is
made from the camera.
3 Follow the instructions in the camera documentation to select and print photos.
Note: If the printer is turned off while the camera is connected, you must disconnect and then reconnect the camera.
