Printing from a PC
Notes
• If a hub is used to connect the printer and
your PC, or if two or more USB devices
including other printers are connected to your
PC, a trouble may occur.  If this occurs,
simplify the connections between your PC
and the printer.
• You cannot operate the printer from another
USB device being used simultaneously.
• Do not remove the USB cable from or connect
it to the printer during data communication
or printing.  The printer may not work
properly.
• Do not allow the PC connected to the printer
to switch to standby mode or hibernation
mode during printing. If you do so, the
printer may not print properly.
• We cannot guarantee operations with all PCs,
even though they may meet or exceed the
system requirements.
• Picture Motion Browser supports the DirectX
technology and the DirectX installation may
be required.
DirectX is available in the CD-ROM.
• If the Picture Motion Browser is installed on a
PC on which the Cyber-shot Viewer is

Motion Browser. The browsing folders once

Browser. When using the Picture Motion
Browser, you can view the folders easier than
