    Printing photos 
    directly from a 
    PictBridge camera
    13
     
    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 124.)
    PictBridge requirements13
    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 camera13
    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 123 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, these 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.

    DPOF printing13
    DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
    Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
    Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, Fuji Photo 
    Film Co. Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial 
    Co. Ltd. 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
    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 manufacturers 
    support website or accompanying 
    documentation.
