PTP/MTP Support

Connect any camera, iPhone and iPad

The latest releases PIE 5.8, PIE Studio 5.2 and Printstation 3.6 include support for PTP/MTP connections (Picture/Media Transfer Protocol). This allows to transfer, browse or print images directly from any camera, instead of using a card reader.

Please note
We still recommend the MSC (Mass Storage Class) protocol over PTP, because it is faster and more flexible. If your camera allows to choose between MSC or PTP, set it to MSC.

Browsing or printing images via PTP requires Windows Vista or Windows 7. Importing images via PTP requires Windows XP or higher.
