Memory cards or a USB Flash 
memory drive folder structure13
Your machine is designed to be compatible 
with modern digital camera image files, 
memory cards and USB Flash memory drive; 
however, please read the points below to 
avoid errors:
„ 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 
memory card or USB Flash memory drive.
„ CompactFlash
® Type II is not supported.
„ This product supports xD-Picture Card™ 
Type M / Type M
+ / Type H (Large 
Capacity).
„ This product supports SDHC.
„ The DPOF file on the memory cards must 
be in a valid DPOF format. (See  DPOF 
printing  on page 81.)
Please be aware of the following: „ When printing Print Index or Print Images, 
the PhotoCapture Center
® will print all 
valid images, even if one or more images 
have been corrupted. Corrupted images 
will not be printed.
„ (memory card users)
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.
„ (USB Flash memory drive users)
This machine supports USB Flash 
memory drives that have been formatted 
by Windows
®.
