OVERVIEW
Y our versatile all-in-one printer is equipped with a high-quality dual-cartridge bubble ink-jet printer and
a flatbed A4 size colour scanner that allow you to print, scan, and copy documents and photographs in
just black and white or in colour. If you connect your all-in-one printer to a computer equipped with a
modem, you can also fax the documents or photos that you scan by using the fax application installed
on the computer.
You can enjoy your printer in the convenient PC-free or stand-alone mode, whereby you can make
copies and print photographs by plugging your PictBridge, DPOF or non-PictBridge/DPOF digital
camera directly into the USB interface on the printer’s front panel without needing to connect the
printer to the computer or even turn the computer on. And if your printer model is equipped with a
Bluetooth interface, you can print straight from your wireless PC, mobile phone or other Bluetooth
device.
You can also enjoy your all-in-one printer connected to your personal computer via the printer’s second
USB interface. In this way, you can also work in the same way as in the PC-free mode but also take full
advantage of the document management and bundled software provided on the "Installation" CDROM that came with the product.
note: If you want to connect your printer to a personal computer, the computer must be running the
Microsoft Windows 98, SE, Me, 2000 or XP operating system, or MAC OS 10.2 or later.
