Using a Memory Card

This section explains how to set and remove a memory card.

Memory Card and PC Card Adapter

You can use the following memory cards. Set the memory card in the PC card adapter to use the card.

• Compact flash (Use the PC card adapter that comes with this printer.)

• Smart media

• Memory stick • SD memory card

• Multimedia card

• Micro drive

• Flash ATA card PCMCIA Type (II)

(The PC card adapter is not necessary.)

When using a memory card, note the following points:

• Some digital cameras do not support 64MB or 128MB memory cards. Photographs stored in memory cards that are not supported by the camera cannot be read or may be destroyed.

• Format the memory card with the digital camera. This printer does not support the computer's unique format.

• Photographs that have been edited with the computer may not print properly.

• Use a PC card adapter that is recommended by the memory card you use.

➥

Note

For information on memory cards and PC card adapters that are supported by a digital camera, ask the digital camera manufacturer.

Setting the Memory Card

➥

Note

The operation procedure is different if you are using a memory card when the printer is connected to the computer. See the "User's Guide."

1 Turn on the printer.

2 Set the memory card into the PC card adapter.

28

The (memory card) mark appears on the operation panel when the PC card adapter is set correctly.

Memory card mark

3 Set the PC card adapter into the card slot.

The indicator lamp will go on.

➥

Notes

• When changing/modifying the content of the memory card of the computer, ensure to print from the computer. When printing from the operation panel, printing may not be done correctly.

When printing from the operation panel, eject the memory card and print again after having reset it.

• Ensure to insert the PC card adapter deeply.

➥

Note

If images on the installed memory card are recorded in formats that are not supported by this printer, an -E(error) appears with First/-Orderor Last.

Such images are not printed.

Ejecting the Memory Card

➥

Note

The operation procedure is different if you are using a memory card when the printer is connected to the computer. See the "User's Guide."

1 Check that the indicator lamp is not blinking.

Note

If you remove the memory card or switch off the power to the printer while the indicator lamp is blinking, the data of the memory card may be destroyed.

2 Press the printer power button to turn off the printer.

29

Indicator lamp Eject button.

3 Check that the indicator lamp is off, and press the Eject button.

PC card adapter still set in the card slot.

➥

Notes

Saving the ink (to users who will be using the printer without connecting to a computer)

• Except when the printer will not be used for a long period of time (one month or longer), always leave the printer plugged in. (Use the Power button on the printer to turn the printer on/off.)

If the printer is not connected to a computer, print head cleaning begins automatically when the power plug is unplugged and then reinserted. This action maintains the optimal print head condition but also consumes ink.

• This product should be connected directly to the power outlet.

If this product is switched on/off from a extension lead that has a power switch, cleaning begins automatically because the same condition exists as when the power plug is unplugged and reinserted, and ink will run out faster.

Using a Digital Camera

You can print photographs connecting a Canon digital camera which has direct printing function. If you connect the digital camera with a provided Bubble Jet Printer - digital camera connection cable, perform the print operations from the digital camera.
