„ The image file extension must be .JPG 
(Other image file extensions like .JPEG, 
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be 
recognized).
„ 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 or USB Flash memory drive.

„ When printing  Print Index or Print 
Images , the PhotoCapture Center™ will

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
