USB Printing
Overview
The USB Printing is available as an optional kit for the WorkCentre 7328/7335/7345.
If the Media Card Reader is installed on the WorkCentre 7328/7335/7345, image data (Exif) taken by
digital cameras and document files (PDF, TIFF) can be printed by the WorkCentre 7328/7335/7345.
Note: “Exif” is a file format that embeds information required to print data in an image taken by digital
cameras. If an image file in Exif format is edited or saved on a computer, the file format is changed and
no longer remains in Exif format.
The WorkCentre 7328/7335/7345 uses two media printing modes:
• Media Print – Text – prints data stored in document format. It is helpful to think of the word “text” as
synonymous with “document.”
• Media Print – Photos – prints data stored in the standard format of most digital cameras.
Note: The USB Printing option is similar to the Media Card Reader option, but there are several
important differences.
