Print photos straight from a USB stick or card

Models with a screen and a port can print without any computer or phone involved.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • Printer does not read the drive
  • Only some photos appear

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Format the drive as FAT32 and put photos in the top-level folder, not nested deep.

  2. 2

    Insert the drive, then choose Print photos on the printer screen.

  3. 3

    Use the arrows to pick images and set the number of copies for each.

  4. 4

    Load photo paper glossy side up in the rear tray and set the paper type to match.

  5. 5

    Press Colour to print.

Pro tip

Printers read JPEG reliably; HEIC files from iPhones usually will not show up.
