a computer to print data. You can print by just
plugging your USB Flash memory drive into
the machine’s USB direct interface. You can
also connect and print directly from a camera
set to USB mass storage mode.
Note
• Some USB Flash memory drives may not
work with the machine.
• If your camera is in PictBridge mode, you
cannot print data. Please refer to the
documentation supplied with your camera
to switch from PictBridge mode to mass
storage mode.
