Your machine is designed to be compatible 
with modern digital camera image files, USB 
Flash memory drive or memory cards; 
however, please read the points below to 
avoid errors:
„ The image file extension must be .JPG 
(Other image file extensions like .JPEG, 
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be 
recognized).
„ PhotoCapture Center™ printing without 
using a PC must be performed separately 
from PhotoCapture Center™ operations

„ (Memory card users)
Your machine is designed to read memory 
cards that have been formatted by a digital 
camera.
When a digital camera formats a memory 
card it creates a special folder into which it 
copies image data. If you need to modify 
the image data stored on a memory card 
with your PC, we recommend that you do 
not modify the folder structure created by 
the digital camera. When saving new or 
modified image files to the memory card 
we also recommend you use the same 
folder your digital camera uses. If the data 
is not saved to the same folder, the 
machine may not be able to read the file or 
print the image.

This machine supports USB Flash 
memory drives that have been formatted 
by Windows
