Printing Photographs Directly from a PictBridge 
Compliant Device
Connecting a PictBridge compliant device such as a digital camera, camcorder or mobile 
phone to the printer allows you to print recorded images directly without using a computer.
PictBridge is an industry standard enabling a range of digital photo solutions, 
including the Direct Printing of photos from a digital camera, camcorder or 
mobile phone* without the need to use a computer. A device can be connected 
to this printer for direct printing regardless of the manufacturer or the model as 
long as it complies with the PictBridge standard.
* Hereafter, the PictBridge compliant digital camera,  digital camcorder, or camera-equipped mobile phone 
are collectively called a PictBridge compliant device.
A device with this mark is PictBridge-compatible.
„ Connecting a PictBridge Compliant Device
To connect a PictBridge compliant device to this printer, use a USB cable recommended 
by the device’s manufacturer.
Do not connect any equipment other than PictBridge compliant devices to 
the Direct Print Port of the printer. If you do so, electric shock, fire, or 
damage to the device could result.
zWhen printing photos with the digital device connected to the printer, 
it is advisable to use the AC adapter supplied with the device. If you 
use the device battery, be sure to charge it fully.
z Never disconnect the USB cable during printing unless when explicitly 
allowed to by the PictBridge compliant device.
When disconnecting the USB cable  between the PictBridge compliant 
device and printer, follow the instructions given in the device’s 
instruction manual.
