Memory card folder structure11
Your machine is designed to be compatible 
with modern digital camera image files and 
memory cards; however, please read the 
points below to avoid errors:
„The DPOF file on the memory card must 
be in a valid format. (See DPOF printing 
on page 60.)
„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 on a 
memory 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 memory 
cards that have been formatted by a digital 
camera.
When a digital camera formats a memory 
card it creates a special folder into which it 
copies image data. If you need to modify 
the image data stored on a memory 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 memory 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.
