connect the camera to the printer for easy printing.
 
Printing from Mobile Phones
The CP750 can print without a cable connection from a mobile phone 
that supports infrared data transmission (IrDA, IrSimple). If you use a

environment. 
The signal transmission distance for 
Bluetooth is about 10 m (32.8 ft.).
