DPOF printing
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major Digital Camera manufacturers (Canon Inc., E Eastman Kodak 
Company, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. and 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 
select on the Digital Camera display the images and number of 
copies you want to print.
When the memory card (CompactFlash
™, SmartMedia™ or Memory 
Stick™) with DPOF information is put into your MFC, the images you 
selected will be printed.

White Balance
This setting adjusts the hue of the white areas of an image.
Lighting, Camera settings and other influences will effect the 
appearance of white. The white areas of a picture may be slightly 
pink, yellow or some other color. By using this adjustment you can 
correct this effect and bring the white areas back to pure white.

Sharpness
This setting enhances the detail of an image. It is similar to adjusting 
the fine focus on a camera. If the image is not in true focus and you 
cannot see the fine details of the picture, then adjust the sharpness. 

Color Density
This setting adjusts the total amount of color in the image. You 
can increase or decrease the amount of color in an image to 
improve a washed out or weak picture.
If you select ON, you can customize the White Balance, 
Sharpness or Color Density.

Understanding the Error Messages
Once you are familiar with the types of errors that can occur while 
you’re using the PhotoCapture Center™, you can easily identify and 
troubleshoot any difficulties.
When an error message appears on the LCD, the MFC will beep to 
get your attention.
MEDIA ERROR—This message will appear if you insert a media card 
that is either bad or not formatted, or when there is a problem with 
the media drive, or if the DPOF print file on the media card tried to 
select a .JPG image that is not there. To clear this error, take out the 
media card.
NO FILE—This message will appear if you select PHOTOCAPTURE 
and the media card in the drive (slot) does not contain a .JPG file.
OUT OF MEMORY—This message will appear if you are working with 
images that are too large for the MFC’s memory.
PhotoCapture Center™ Requirements
To avoid error conditions, please remember:

The DPOF file on the media card must be in a valid format.

The image file extension must be .JPG (Other image file 
extensions .JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).

Walk-up PhotoCaputure Center™ printing must be performed 
separately from PhotoCapture Center™ operations using the PC.
(Simultaneous operation is not available.)
When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the PhotoCapture Center™ 
will print all the valid images, even if one or more images has 
been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed.

Choosing the right type of paper
To get high quality printing using your MFC, it’s very important to 
select the right type of paper. Be sure to read Chapter 2 Paper in this 
guide before you select and purchase paper for the MFC.
How to print your document
When the MFC receives data from your computer, it begins printing 
by picking up paper from the paper tray. The paper tray can feed 
many types of paper and envelopes. 
1From your computer select the Print command.
If your computer is also connected to any other printers, select 
Brother MFC5200C (USB) Printer as your printer driver from 
the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and 
then click on OK to begin printing.
2Your computer sends a print command and data to the MFC.
The LCD shows 
RECEIVING DATA.
3When the MFC finishes printing all the data, the LCD show the 
date and time.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, 
select the next larger paper size. 
Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in 
your application software.
Use the manual feed slot for thicker paper. 
See Paper specifications for the manual feed slot on page 2-3.
You can select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in 
your application software.

not be stopped during PC printing. However, when the MFC is copying 
or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and 
then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.
