Media card folder structure5
To avoid errors, remember the following 
points:
„The DPOF file on the media card must be 
in a valid format. (See DPOF 
printingon page 40.)
„The image file extension must be .JPG 
(Other image file extensions like .JPEG, 
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be 
recognized).
„Walk-up PhotoCapture Center
® printing 
must be performed separately from 
PhotoCapture Center
® operations using 
the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not 
available.)
„IBM Microdrive™ is not compatible with 
the machine.
„The machine can read up to 999 files 
(including the folder inside memory) on a 
media card.
„CompactFlash
® Type II is not supported.
„This product supports xD-Picture Card™ 
Type M / Type H (Large Capacity).
Please be aware of the following:
„When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the 
PhotoCapture Center
® will print all the 
valid images, even if one or more images 
have been corrupted. A portion of the 
corrupted image may be printed.
„Your machine is designed to read media 
cards that have been formatted by a digital 
camera.
When a digital camera formats a media 
card it creates a special folder into which it 
copies image data. If you need to modify 
the image data stored on a media card 
with your PC, we recommend that you do 
not modify the folder structure created by 
the digital camera. When saving new or 
modified image files to the media card we 
also recommend you use the same folder 
your digital camera uses. If the data is not 
saved to the same folder, the machine 
may not be able to read the file or print the 
image.
