Finding a Location for the Printer Dock
Allow 5 inches (12.7 cm) clearance on all
sides of the printer dock.
Place the printer dock on a flat, clean, dust-
free surface, out of direct sunlight.
Make sure airflow around the top and back
is not blocked.
Do not place the printer dock on cloth or
carpeted surfaces.
Avoid areas where ventilation ducts, open
doors, or frequent passersby might expose
the printer dock and paper to high levels of
dust and debris. Airborne dirt particles can
cause image-quality problems.

a Push the insert towards the front of the
printer and lift up the back edge.
b Push the insert towards the rear of the
printer and lift out the front edge.

your camera) See your camera manual.

dock and snap the insert into place.
