HP PSC 1310 series only: PictBridge and camera-related errors
The HP PSC 1310 series displays an E on the Number of Copies display if there is a photo-related error involving the PictBridge port. Please refer to the camera display and camera user guide for more detail.

HP PSC 1310 series has a PictBridge port, located on the front bottom-left corner of the printer. The following lights are on the PictBridge port:
Button What it means when the light blinks
Green LED The green LED turns green when you plug your PictBridge camera into the PictBridge port. The light stays solid green until you remove your camera's PictBridge cable from the PictBridge port.

When you print directly from your PictBridge camera, both the On light on the front panel and the green LED on the PictBridge port will blink.
Photo Error (!) LED The Error LED (!) blinks amber when there is a problem plugging a cable into the PictBridge port or a problem when printing directly from a PictBridge camera. You may see an error message on your computer screen or camera's display.
