Your Brother machine supports the 
PictBridge standard, allowing you to connect 
to and print photos directly from any 
PictBridge compatible digital camera.
If your camera is using the USB Mass 
Storage standard, you can also print photos 
from a digital camera without PictBridge. See 
Printing photos directly from a digital camera 
(without PictBridge)  on page 45. 
PictBridge requirements6
To avoid errors, remember the following 
points:
„ The machine and the digital camera must 
be connected using a suitable USB cable.
„ The image file extension must be .JPG 
(other image file extensions like .JPEG, 
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be 
recognized).
„ PhotoCapture Center™ operations are 
not available when using the PictBridge 
feature.

mode. The following PictBridge settings may 
be available from the LCD of your PictBridge 
compatible camera.

DPOF printing6
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, FUJIFILM 
Corporation, Panasonic Corporation and 
Sony Corporation) created this standard to 
make it easier to print images from a digital 
camera.
If your digital camera supports DPOF 
printing, you will be able to choose on the 
digital camera display the images and 
number of copies you want to print.
Note
A DPOF File error can occur if the print 
order that was created on the camera has 
been corrupted. Delete and recreate the 
print order using your camera to correct 
this problem. For instructions on how to 
delete or recreate the print order, refer to 
your camera manufacturer’s support 
website or accompanying documentation.
