Printing Photographs Directly from
a Digital Camera
Connecting a digital camera or digital video camcorder to the printer allows you to print captured
images directly without using a computer. Use the USB cable that came with your digital camera
to connect to the printer.
z Use only a “PictBridge” or Canon “Bubble Jet Direct” compatible digital
camera or digital video camcorder for printing directly.
Notes
z This section describes how to operate a Canon “Bubble Jet Direct”
compatible camera. For instructions on operating a “PictBridge” compliant
camera, refer to Direct Printing from PictBridge-compatible Digital Camera.
z When you print directly from a digital camera, you need to operate the
printer from the camera itself.
z You are recommended to use mains power rather than the battery pack to
power the camera when it is connected to a printer. If you do use a battery
pack, ensure that it is fully charged.

Replacing an Ink Tank
When replacing an ink tank, check the model number very carefully.
The printer will not print properly if the wrong ink tank is used, or installed in the incorrect
position.
With this printer, ink tanks must be installed from the right in the order indicated below.
• Magenta
• Photo Magenta : BCI-6PM Photo
• Yellow : BCI-6Y
: BCI-6M
• Black
:BCI-6BK
• Cyan
:BCI-6C
• Photo Cyan :BCI-6PC Photo
Knowing When to Replace an Ink Tank
If an ink tank needs replacing the Power lamp will change from green to orange and flash four
times as soon as printing begins. It is important to identify the empty tank using the LCD and
replace it.
Should missing characters or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels.
See “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on page 38.
Note
The following message appears on the LCD when ink is empty.
Printing will resume as soon as ink tank is replaced and the front cover is closed.
The ink tank with symbol is out of ink. Replace with a new ink tank.
• Press the Cancel button to cancel the current print job.
• Press the Resume button to resume printing with an empty ink
tank.
When printing is finished, replace the ink tank immediately. If you
continue printing with an empty ink tank, it may cause a problem.

Replacing Ink Tanks
When ink tanks run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.
1
Ensure that the printer is on, and then open the front cover.
The print head holder moves to the center.
2
Remove the empty ink tank.
(1) Push the tab in and remove the ink tank.
Do not touch the lock lever; remove
only the ink tank.
Important z Handle ink tanks carefully to avoid staining clothing or the
surrounding area.
z Discard empty ink tanks according to the local laws and regulations
regarding disposal of consumables.
3
Prepare a replacement tank.
(1) Unpack the new ink tank and pull off the orange tape.
(2) Remove the orange protective cap from the bottom of the ink tank and discard it.
Important z Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to leak
and stain your clothes and hands.
z Do not re-attach the protective cap once you have removed it.
z Once the protective cap is removed, do not touch the open ink port.
z Ensure that all the orange tape has been peeled off along the
perforation. If there remains a part of the orange tape, ink may not be
ejected correctly.

and leave it out in the open. An ink tank left out in the open and then
reinstalled in the printer may not function properly.
z Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or
grayscale printing is specified.
Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which
are necessary to maintain the printer's performance.
