DPOF printing12
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, FUJIFILM 
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.
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 manufacturer’s 
support web site or accompanying 
documentation.

Choosing a locationA
Put your machine on a flat, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk. Put 
the machine near a telephone wall jack and a standard AC power outlet. Choose a location where 
the temperature remains between 50°F and 95°F (10°C and 35°C).
WARNING 
DO NOT put the machine near heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, medical equipment, 
chemicals or water. 
  
DO NOT connect your machine to AC power outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic 
timers.
 
CAUTION 
• Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area.
• Avoid placing your machine on a carpet.
• DO NOT expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.
• Disruption of power can wipe out information in the machines memory.
• DO NOT connect your machine to AC power outlets on the same circuit as large appliances 
or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply.
• Avoid interference sources, such as cordless telephone systems or speakers.
• DO NOT tip the machine, or place it on any tilted surface. Doing this may cause ink spillage 
and internal damage to your machine.
