Transferring and printing images
You can transfer images and video clips with or without the HP Photosmart Software that
came with your camera. However, the HP Photosmart Software has several features for
transferring and managing your images and also guides you through the transfer
process.
Transferring images with HP Photosmart Software
If you have installed the HP Photosmart Software (see
Install the software
on page 8
),
use this method to transfer images and video clips to your computer.
1.
If you have selected images for printing (see
Selecting images for printing
on page 17
), verify that the computer is connected to a printer.
2.
Connect the camera and computer using the USB
cable that came with your camera.
3.
Turn on the camera and follow the instructions on
the computer screen to transfer the images. For
more information, see the Help feature in the
HP Photosmart Software.
Transferring images without HP Photosmart Software
If you do not install the HP Photosmart Software, images marked for printing (see
Selecting images for printing
on page 17
) do not automatically print when you connect
the camera to the computer. However, you can still transfer images and video clips to
your computer by:
●
Connecting your camera directly to the computer (see
Connecting to the computer
on page 18
)
●
Using a memory card reader (see
Using a memory card reader
on page 19
)
Connecting to the computer
1.
Turn off the camera, connect the camera and computer using the USB cable that
came with your camera, then turn on the camera.
–
On Windows computers, the camera appears as a device in Explorer, allowing
you to copy images from the camera to the computer.
–
On Macintosh computers, either Image Capture or iPhoto starts automatically,
allowing you to transfer images to the computer.
2.
When you have finished transferring images, disconnect the camera from the
computer. If your computer is running Windows 2000 or XP and you get an
Unsafe
Removal
warning, disregard the warning.
If you encounter problems, set the camera’s
USB Configuration
to
Disk Drive
(see
USB Configuration
under
Using the Setup Menu
on page 20
) and reconnect to your
computer.
