age). Be sure to change the USB option before connecting the printer.

Before Printing
Before printing via direct USB connection, check printer settings and make sure that the
printer supports PictBridge. See the printer manual for details.
Pictures That Can Not Be Printed by Direct USB Connection
Movies and RAW-quality pictures ( 30) can not be printed via direct USB connection.
Some printers may not support direct printing of HI-quality (TIFF) images; consult the
documentation provided with the printer for more information.
Use a Reliable Power Source
When printing pictures via direct USB connection, be sure the battery is fully charged. If
in doubt, recharge the battery before printing or use the optional EH-53 AC adapter.
PictBridge
PictBridge is an industry standard that ensures compatibility between cameras and
printers, allowing pictures to be printed directly from the camera without using a
computer.
