Insert a memory card
If your digital camera uses a memory card  to store photos, you can insert the memory
card into the device to print or save your photos.
CAUTION: Attempting to remove a memory card while it is being accessed can
damage files on the card. You can safely  remove a card only when the photo light
is not blinking. Never insert more than one memory card at a time, as this can also
damage files on the memory cards.
The device supports the memory cards described below. Each type of memory card
can be inserted only in the appropriate slot for that card.

							NOTE:If your USB device does not fit into this port due to size limitations, or if
the connector on the device is shorter than 11 millimeters, you will need to
purchase a USB extension cable in order to use your device with this port.
Camera-selected photos are photos you marked  for printing with your digital camera.
Depending on your camera, the camera might identify page layout, number of copies,
rotation, and other print settings.
The device supports two industry-standard formats, PictBridge and Digital Print Order
Format (DPOF) file format 1.1. You do not  have to reselect the photos to print.
• The  PictBridge  standard saves the print instructions on the camera itself. In order
to print photos using PictBridge, you need to put the camera into PictBridge mode,
and then plug the camera into the front USB port of the device with a USB cable.
• The  DPOF standard saves the print instructions as a file on your memory card. In
order to print photos from a DPOF file,  you need to remove the memory card from
your camera and then insert the memory card into the appropriate slot on the
device. For more information, see 
Print DPOF photos .
When you print camera-selected photos, the device print settings do not apply; the
PictBridge or DPOF settings for page layout and number of copies override those of
the device.
NOTE: Not all digital cameras enable you to tag your photos for printing. See the
documentation that came with your digital  camera to determine if your camera
supports the PictBridge standard or DPOF file format 1.1.
To print camera-selected photos using the PictBridge standard
1. Connect your digital camera to the front USB  port on the device, using the USB
cable supplied with your camera.
2. Turn on your camera and make sure it is in PictBridge mode.
NOTE: Check your camera documentation to verify how to change the USB
mode to PictBridge. Different cameras use different terms to describe
PictBridge mode. For instance, some cameras have a  digital camera setting
and a  disk drive  setting. In this instance, the  digital camera setting is the
PictBridge mode setting.
Connect a digital camera 69
 
						

							Connect a storage device
You can connect a storage device such as a keychain drive, portable hard drive, or a
digital camera in storage mode to the front USB port. The front USB port is located
beneath the memory card slots.
NOTE:Digital cameras that are in storage mode  can be attached to the front USB
port. The device treats cameras that are  in this mode as a normal storage device.
Digital cameras in storage mode are referred to as storage devices throughout this
section.
If your USB device does not fit into this port due to size limitations, or if the
connector on the device is shorter than 11 millimeters, you will need to purchase a
USB extension cable in order to use your device with this port. For more
information on supported USB devices, see 
Supported devices .
Check your camera documentation to verify how to change the USB mode to
storage mode. Different cameras use different terms to describe the storage mode.
For instance, some cameras have a  digital camera setting and a disk drive
setting. In this instance, the  disk drive setting is the storage mode setting. If
storage mode does not work on your camera, you might need to upgrade the
camera firmware. For more information, see the documentation that came with the
camera.
Once you have connected the storage device, you  can do the following with the files
that are stored on your storage device:
• Transfer the files to your computer
• View photos (color display only)
Chapter 7

							• Edit photos using the control panel (color display only)
NOTE:Edits are for printing only. They will not be saved to the memory card
or storage device.
• Print photos
CAUTION: Never attempt to disconnect a storage device while it is being
accessed. Doing so can damage files on  the storage device. You can safely
remove a storage device only when the status light next to the memory card slots
is not blinking.

You can use the device to send and receive faxes, including color faxes. You can
schedule faxes to be sent at a later time and set up speed-dials to send faxes quickly
and easily to frequently used numbers. From  the device control panel, you can also
set a number of fax options, such as resolution and the contrast between lightness
and darkness on the faxes you send.
If the device is directly connected to a computer, you can use the HP Solution Center
to perform fax procedures that are not available from the device control panel. For
more information, see 
Use the HP photo and imaging software .
NOTE: Before you begin faxing, make sure you  have set up the device properly
for faxing. You might have already done this as part of the initial setup, by using
