Transfer digital images to your computer
After you take photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or save
them directly to your computer. To save them to your computer, you need to remove the
memory card from the camera and insert it in the appropriate memory card slot on the
HP all-in-one.
Note
You can only use one memory card in your HP all-in-one at a time.
