DPOF printing5
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon

Corporation, Panasonic Corporation 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.
When a memory card containing DPOF 
information is put into your machine, you can 
print the chosen image easily.
aFirmly insert the memory card into the 
correct slot.
