    z“PictBridge” or Canon “Bubble Jet Dire ct” compatible digital cameras can be 
    connected to your printer for direct printing.
    z This section describes errors that are indicated on Canon-brand PictBridge- 
    or Bubble Jet Direct-compatible cameras. The error messages and operations 
    may vary depending on the camera you are using.
    For errors on non-Canon PictBridge-compatible cameras, count the number of 
    flashes the  POWER lamp on the printer makes and check for the cause of the 
    error and take the appropriate action. For details, see  “Handling Error 
    Messages ” on page 75.
    z Connecting a digital camera not compatible with “PictBridge” or “Bubble Jet 
    Direct” makes the  POWER lamp on your printer flash nine times. In such a 
    case, unplug the cable connecting the camera to the printer, and press the 
    RESUME/CANCEL  button on the printer.
    z A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too 
    much time to send data. This may stop printing. In such a case, disconnect 
    the cable between the printer and the camera, press the  RESUME/CANCEL 
    button on the printer, and reconnect the cable between the printer and the 
    camera. Then, turn the camera on, if it does not automatically turn on. If the 
    problem is still unresolved, select some other photo and check if it can be 
    printed or not.
    z The print head nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or colors are 
    incorrect. See  “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect ” on page 
    48.
    z If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure 
    that you are using the correct type of paper. If this error occurs even when 
    you are using the correct type of paper, select  Prevent paper abrasion on 
    Custom Settings  in the printer driver. See  “Print Quality is Poor or Contains 
    Errors ” on page 67.
    z To disconnect the cable connected between the digital camera and printer, 
    follow the procedure below.
    1. Disconnect the cable from the printer.
    2. Turn off the digital camera.
    3. Disconnect the cable from the digital camera.
    When disconnecting the cable, be sure to hold the connector by its sides.
    z For the errors indicated on the camera and their solution, also refer to the 
    user’s manual of the camera. For other troubles on the digital camera, 
    contact the manufacturer.
