Consider the following information before inserting a camera card: • If the camera card has a gold contact area, make sure the contact area faces the front of your printer. • If you are inserting a CompactFlash card, make sure the name label faces the back of your printer. • If you are inserting the SmartMedia card, make sure you do not place it in the CompactFlash card slot. • If your camera card or storage disk contains photo images, a Reading Card message appears in the display window.
