9 - 2 WALK-UP PHOTOCAPTURE CENTER™ PhotoCapture Center™ requirements Your machine is designed to be compatible with modern digital camera image files and media cords; however, please read the points below to avoid errors: ■The DPOF file on the media card must be in a valid format. (See DPOF printing on page 9-8.) ■ The image file extension must be .JPG (Other image file extensions .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 in a media card. ■ Use only Smart media cards with a 3.3v voltage rating. ■ CompactFlash ® Type II is not supported. ■ xD-Picture Card ™ Type M (Large Capacity) is supported. 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.
