Bluetooth
® wireless 
technology15
To avoid errors, remember the following

(other image file extensions such as 
.JPEG, .TIF and .GIF and so on will not be 
recognized).
„ The size of the image file must be no 
larger than 3 MB.
„ Your machine is a Class 2 device and the 
communication range is between 0 to 
33 feet. You cannot print outside this 
range.
 
You can print photos only when the indicator 
is illuminated in blue. (For details about
