send data. This may stop printing.
In
such a case, disconnect the cable
between the printer and the camera, and reconnect the cable between the printer
and the camera. Then, turn the camera on,
jf
it
does not automatically turn on.

it
can
be
printed or
not.

of
your device, you may have to select a print
mode compatible with PictBridge before connecting the device.
