DPOF printing6
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, Fuji Photo 
Film Co. Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial 
Co. Ltd. and Sony Corporation) created this 
standard to make it easier to print images 
from a digital camera.
If your digital camera supports DPOF 
printing, you will be able to choose on the 
digital camera display the images and 
number of copies you want to print.
Note
An DPOF File error can occur if the print 
order that was created on the camera has 
been corrupted. Delete and recreate the 
print order using your camera to correct 
this problem. For instructions on how to 
delete or recreate the print order, refer to 
your camera manufacture’s support 
website or accompanying documentation.
