      This section describes how to print directly by operating a Canon camera that is connected to the printer.
      CAUTION
      • Screens, menu listings, or the locations of buttons may differ depending on the camera model being used.
      • These instructions show how to print one image on one sheet of paper as an example.
      • Please refer to the user's manual enclosed in the package when using a camera of a manufacturer other than Canon.

      1. Check that there is no memory card inserted and that no computer is connected to printer.

      2. Connect the camera to the printer and turn on the printer.

      NOTE
