Accessing Photos
Saving Your Photos to an External Device
If you don’t have a computer, you can save photos that are on your camera’s memory card to
an external device that you connect directly to your printer. This lets you delete the images on
your memory card and reuse it without losing your original photos. Follow the steps below to
save your photos to a Zip disk, CD-R, DVD-R, or thumb drive.
Note: Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of any cameras or drives. If you’re not sure
about your camera or drive, you can try connecting it. If it’s not compatible, you’ll see a screen
saying that the connected device cannot be used.
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 that connects the
printer to your computer (otherwise files on the memory card may be copied to your
computer).
3. If necessary, make sure your drive is plugged in and turned on. Then connect a USB cable
from your drive to the
EXT. I/F
USB port on the front of the printer (see page 12).
