You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Pictbridge symbol.png|thumb|The PictBridge logo]]

'''PictBridge''' is a historical computing [[Technical standard|industry standard]] introduced in 2003 from the [[Camera & Imaging Products Association]] (CIPA) for direct printing. It allows images to be printed directly from [[digital camera]]s to a [[computer printer|printer]], without having to connect the camera to a computer. Its formal name is "Standard of Camera & Imaging Products Association CIPA DC-001 — 2003 Digital Solutions for Imaging Devices".<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.cipa.jp/english/pictbridge/FAQ_E_05122003.pdf |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2004-07-27 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040727141048/http://www.cipa.jp/english/pictbridge/FAQ_E_05122003.pdf |archivedate=2004-07-27 ))</ref> CIPA DC-001-2003 Rev. 2.0 has been published in 2007.

== Implementation ==

PictBridge is typically implemented using [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]] ports and the USB protocol. PictBridge-capable printers typically have a USB type A port which is connected by cable to the USB port of a PictBridge-capable digital camera (typically a Mini-B). The user selects the images on the camera to print.

== Licensing ==
((original research|section|date=November 2011))

The PictBridge specification is not an [[open standard]]; it can only be obtained from CIPA after agreement not to disclose any information from the specification to others.<ref>[http://www.cipa.jp/pictbridge/documents_e/ObtainingStandard_E.pdf section 2.2 of the agreement]</ref> In practice, this means that PictBridge cannot be implemented as [[free and open source software]], other than by reverse-engineering the protocol, if publishing source code of an implementation of the PictBridge standard is considered to count as "disclosing information" from the specification.

A printer may implement functions similar to a PictBridge printer without the non-disclosure agreement merely by treating the camera's memory as a [[USB mass storage device class|USB mass storage device]], although the user interface for image selection would necessarily be on the printer rather than the camera in this case.
