    How to print from a 
    memory card or USB 
    Flash memory drive
    5
    Before printing a photo you must first print a 
    thumbnail index to choose the number of the 
    photo you want to print. Follow the 
    instructions below to start printing directly 
    from your memory card or USB Flash 
    memory drive:
    aMake sure you have put the memory 
    card or USB Flash memory drive in the 
    correct slot. For example, the LCD will 
    show the following message:
     
    M.Stick Active
    bPress (Photo Capture ).

    and then press  OK.
    dPress  Colour Start  to start printing the

    numbers for images (such as NO.1, NO.2, 
    NO.3, and so on).
     
    The PhotoCapture Center™ uses these 
    numbers to identify each picture. You can 
    print a thumbnail page to show all the pictures 
    on the memory card or USB Flash memory 
    drive. 
    Note
    Only file names that are 8 characters or 
    less will be printed correctly on the index 
    sheet.
     
    aMake sure you have put the memory 
    card or USB Flash memory drive in the 
    correct slot.
    Press ( Photo Capture ). 
    bPress a or  b to choose  Print Index .
    Press  OK.
    cPress  a or  b to choose 
    6 Images/Line  or 5 Images/Line . 
    Press  OK.
