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 invalid 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 manufacturers 
support website or accompanying 
documentation.
