PictBridge is an industry standard enabling a range of digital photo solutions, including the direct 

printing of photos from a digital still 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.

You can select the images to print and specify various print settings from your camera or mobile phone.
* PictBridge compatible digital still cameras, digital camcorders, and camera-equipped mobile phones 

are hereafter collectively referred to as “PictBridge compliant device”.

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.

When printing photos with the digital device connected to the printer, we recommend the use of the 

AC adapter supplied with the device. If you are using the device battery, be sure to charge it fully.

The Print Head cannot be aligned using the controls of the PictBridge compliant device. If Print 

Head alignment is not yet performed and the printer driver is not installed in the computer, be sure 

to align the Print Head as follows.
Make sure that the printer is on, and then load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Auto 

Sheet Feeder. Hold down the RESUME/CANCEL button until the POWER lamp flashes green four 

times, and then release it immediately. The print head alignment pattern is printed, and the print 

head position is adjusted automatically.
