Printing Photographs Directly from a Digital Camera

Connecting a Canon digital camera with Bubble Jet Direct function to the printer allows you
to print captured images directly without using a computer. Use the USB cable that came
with your digital camera.

Note

z To print directly from a digital camera or digital video camcorder, use only

Canon “Bubble Jet Direct” compatible digital cameras or digital video
camcorders.

z When you print directly from a digital camera, you need to operate from the
