Printing with the Direct Print Function

You can print still images by connecting the camcorder to a printer with Direct Print function. The Direct Print function can also be used with the print order settings

❍ Observe the following precautions during printing, otherwise printing may not be performed correctly.

- Do not turn off the camcorder or the printer.

- Do not change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch.

- Do not detach the cable.

❍ Still images not recorded with this camcorder may not be printed correctly on a printer with direct print function.

❍ The direct print function is supported by Canon Card Photo Printers with the logo and Canon Bubble Jet Printers with the logo.

❍ Refer to the instruction manual of each printer for information on which interface cable to use with the camcorder.

The Card Photo Printers CP-10 and CP-100 are supplied with two direct interface cables. Use the cable with the USB logo on the connector (DIF-100).

❍ We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source.
