Connecting a PictBridge-enabled digital camera

PictBridge is a technology available in most digital cameras that lets you print directly from your digital camera without
using a computer. You can connect a PictBridge-enabled digital camera to the printer, and use the buttons on the
camera to control and print photos.

1

Insert one end of the USB cable into the camera.

Note: Use only the USB cable that came with your camera.

2

Insert the other end of the cable into the PictBridge port on the front of the printer.

Notes:

Make sure the PictBridge-enabled digital camera is set to the correct USB mode. For more information, see
the documentation that came with your camera.

The printer recognizes one active media device at a time. Remove any memory cards from the printer when
you connect the camera.

3

If the PictBridge connection is successful, the camera automatically switches to print mode, the
PictBridge symbol appears on the camera display, or a message recognizing the connection appears on the
camera display, depending on your camera.

For more information, see the documentation that came with your camera.

Transferring all photos from a memory card using the computer
