Printing from Digital Cameras Using FTP
While only a handful of cameras currently offer a FTP transfer option, those work flows are usually compatible with the WPS
Pro network. Consult your camera documentation to find out more about your camera’s specific FTP options. If your
camera does support FTP transfer, follow the instructions in “Using Android Devices for FTP Transfers” on page 65 or “Using
Apple Mobile iOS Devices for FTP Transfers” on page 72 to connect your camera to the WPS Pro network and print directly
from your digital camera.
