Printing Photographs Directly from a Digital Camera
Connecting a digital camera or digital video camcorder to the printer allows you to print captured images directly without using a computer. Use the USB cable that came with your digital camera to connect to the printer.
Note
z To print directly from a digital camera or digital video camcorder, use only
"PictBridge" or Canon "Bubble Jet Direct" compatible digital cameras or digital video camcorders. This section describes how to print from a digital camera or digital video camcorder that is compatible with "Bubble Jet Direct." For details on how to use "PictBridge," refer to a separate leaflet titled "Direct Printing for PictBridge-compliant Digital Camera."
z When you print directly from a digital camera, you need to operate from the
camera itself.
z You are recommended to use a household power source rather than the
battery pack to power the camera when it is connected to a printer. If you do use a battery pack, ensure that it is fully charged.
z When printing from your PC, be sure to unplug the cable connecting to the
digital camera with Bubble Jet Direct.
