Embodiment Construction

[0013] Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, a digital camera 300 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 . Digital camera 300 captures and stores images with digital memory such as memory card 330 shown in FIG. 1 . The stored digital images can be displayed on a color LCD image display 332 . The digital printer 800 , shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3 , uses a color marking device 412 such as a thermal printhead and a media transport mechanism 410 to produce color hardcopy prints.

[0014] The digital printer 800 also includes a camera interface 422 , such as a USB interface, connected to the first electrical connector 452 to receive digital images stored in the digital camera 300 . As described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09 / 571,928, entitled "A PRINTING SYSTEMAND METHOD HAVING A DIGITAL PRINTER THAT USES A DIGITAL CAMERAIMAGE DISPLAY," filed May 16, 2000 by Parulski et al., in preferred ...

Abstract

The present invention is a digital printer comprising a marking apparatus (412) adapted to print images, a first electrical interface (452) for connecting to a digital camera, a second electrical interface (494) for connecting to a computer (496), and a processor (420) for detecting when the digital camera is connected to the first electrical interface, for controlling the marking apparatus to print images provided from the digital camera when the digital camera is connected to the first electrical interface, and for controlling the marking apparatus to print images provided from the computer over the second interface when the digital camera is not connected to the first electrical interface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a color digital photography system, including a digital camera, a digital printer, and a computer, and more particularly to a system and method for transferring images captured by a digital camera to a computer using a digital printer, and printing images from the digital camera and the computer. Background technique [0002] Digital cameras and digital printers are available from Eastman Kodak Company and many other suppliers. Consumer digital cameras, such as the Kodak DX4330 camera, capture images with a single-chip color CCD image sensor, process the image to provide a "processed" RGB image, compress the image with JPEG compression, and store the image on a removable memory card. Images can be viewed again on the LCD image monitor on the back of the camera, and unwanted images can be deleted. By pressing the "Print" button when the image is displayed, and then indicating the desired number of photos, the image can ...
