The Photo Capture  key will light to show the 
media card status. It can be on, off or blinking. 
See the table below for what the light means.
 
„ On
A media card is inserted correctly.
„ Off
No media card is present, or it is 
incorrectly inserted.
„ Blinking
The inserted media card is being read, or 
is being written to.
CAUTION 
DO NOT unplug the power cord or remove 
the media card from the media drive (slot) 
while the machine is reading or writing to 
the card (the  Photo Capture  key is 
blinking).  You will lose your data or 
damage the card.
 
The machine can only read one media card at 
a time so do not put more than one card in a 
slot.
Media card folder structure13
To avoid errors, remember the following 
points:
„ The DPOF file on the media card must be 
in a valid format. (See  DPOF 
printing on page 78.)
„ 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 media) 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.

Note
• 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, you can 
correct this effect and bring the white 
areas back to pure white.
• Sharpness
This setting enhances the detail of an 
image, 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.
 
Cropping13
If your photo is too long or wide to fit the 
available space on your chosen layout, part 
of the image will be automatically cropped.
