Make sure the USB configuration setting of the camera is set to Digital Camera, and

then connect the camera to the camera port of the printer using the USB cable that

came with the PictBridge-certified camera. The memory card/camera port light

flashes while the camera establishes a connection to the printer, and then remains

lit.

See the camera documentation for more information about the USB configuration

setting. The name of the setting and its options may differ on non-HP digital cameras.

If you already selected photos for printing on the camera, the

Print DPOF Photos?

dialog box is displayed on the camera. Select

No

to bypass printing pre-selected

photos. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) lets the user mark photos on a digital

camera for printing and include other image information, such as number of copies

to be printed.

5.

Use the options and controls on your camera to print your photos. See the camera

documentation for more information. The memory card/camera port light flashes while

the photos are printing.

Important

: Your photos are instantly dry, and can be handled immediately after they are

printed. However, HP recommends that you leave the printed surface of your photos

exposed to the air for 3 minutes after printing to allow the colors to fully develop before

you stack them with other photos or place them in albums.

This section describes how to print from any device with Bluetooth wireless technology,

a short-range communications technology that enables a wide range of devices to

connect with each other without the clutter of cables.

To use Bluetooth connectivity with the HP Photosmart A530 series printer, you must

purchase and connect the optional HP Bluetooth

®

wireless printer adapter to the camera

port on the front of the printer. To learn how to print from a Bluetooth device, see the

documentation that came with your Bluetooth adapter.
