Getting Started Guide

Printing

There are two ways you can print using your Compaq 1400P:

> Print photos directly from your memory card -- no PC required

> Print from an application using your computer

Either way, your Compaq 1400P will deliver excellent results.

Printing directly from a memory card

You can choose the photos you want to print from a memory card using the front panel of your printer and print your photos without the aid of a computer. Most digital cameras store their photos on a memory card. Once you have taken some photos, you can remove the memory card from your camera and place it directly into the slot on your printer for quick and easy prints.

Supported cards

The Compaq 1400P supports the following types of memory cards:

> CompactFlash certified Type I or Type II

> SmartMedia, using an optional adapter (purchased separately)

Printing

These cards are available from several different vendors.

Inserting a memory card

The memory card slot is located beneath a small door.

Push down gently at the bottom of the door to release the latch.

Lift up on the door to reveal the card slot.
