Hook Up Pictbridge

The process of printing images from a digital camera commonly includes connecting the device and a printer to a computer. There are, however, special cameras and printers that are able to print images without a computer. These cameras and printers are equipped with Pictbridge technology. With the technology, you can print photos directly from the camera with only a few presses of a button. Some Pictbridge devices even allow users to print multiple images at a time, print a cropped image or print several duplicates of the same image. Pictbridge is a useful tool that speeds up the process of printing images from a camera.


Instructions


1. Insert the small end of the Pictbridge USB cable into the digital camera and connect the other end of the cable into the Pictbridge USB port.


2. Plug the printer's power cable into a nearby wall outlet, and insert photo paper. Press the power button or switch the digital camera and the printer.


3. View the Pictbridge notification that automatically appears on the camera's screen. Press "Play" on the camera to display the images already saved on the camera. Select the desired photo from the list. Press "Print Photo" on the camera and follow the prompts to print the photo. Wait a few minutes for the printer to create the image on the photo paper.
