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.
When a memory card containing DPOF 
information is put into your machine, you can 
print the chosen image easily.
aMake sure you have put a memory card 
in the correct slot.
Press  (Photo Capture ). The 
machine will ask you if you want to use

An Invalid 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.

Printing photos 
directly from a 
PictBridge camera
6
 
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 53.
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.
Setting your digital camera6
Make sure your camera is in PictBridge 
mode. The following PictBridge settings may 
be available from the LCD of your PictBridge 
compatible camera. Depending on your camera some of these 
settings may not be available.
1See 
DPOF printing  on page 53 for more details.
2If your camera is set to use the Printer Settings 
(Default setting), the machine will print your photo 
using the following settings.
„When your camera does not have any menu 
selections, those settings are also used.
„The names and availability of each setting 
depends on the specification of your 
camera.
Please refer to the documentation supplied 
with your camera for more detailed 
information on changing PictBridge settings.
