Saving Your Image Files
If you don’t have a computer, you can save the image files that are in your camera’s memory
card on a Zip disk. This lets you reuse the memory card without losing your original images.
Once your images are stored on a Zip disk, you can retrieve them at any time for printing.
Note: To back up images, you need a 100 or 250MB Iomega Zip drive (AC or USB
powered), available at most computer stores. To minimize backup time, use a
100MB disk with the 100MB drive or a 250MB disk with the 250MB drive. If you
insert a Macintosh disk into a Zip drive attached to the printer, it automatically
formats it, so be sure to use a disk that is empty or not formatted, or one
containing data you don’t mind losing. (You will be prompted before any data is
erased.)
Follow these steps to make a backup copy of the images on your memory card:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and the memory card you want to back up is inserted
in the printer.
2. If the printer is connected to your computer, unplug the USB cable.
3. Connect a USB cable from your Zip drive to the
EXT. I/F port on the back of the printer.
4. Enter the
Advanced Settings menu, then press Select.
5. Use the button to highlight
Backup, then press Select.
6. Press the
Custom 1 button to start the backup procedure; you may have to follow
additional instructions on the printer screen. All the photos on your card are copied to
your Zip drive. Depending on how many photos there are, this may take several minutes.
Caution: Once the backup starts, do not disconnect the cable or interrupt the
process, or you may lose data.
To print images saved on your Zip disk, follow the instructions in “Connecting a Digital
Camera or External Storage Device” on page 21.
