DPOF printing12
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, Fuji Photo 
Film Co. Ltd., 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.
When the memory card (CompactFlash
®, 
Memory Stick™, Memory Stick PRO™, SD, 
SDHC or xD-Picture Card™) with DPOF 
information is put into your machine, you can 
print the chosen image easily.
aMake sure you have put a memory card 
in the proper slot.
The machine will ask you if you want to 
use DPOF setting.
bPress  Yes.
cDo one of the following:
„ Press  Print Setting  to change 
the print settings. (See page 118.)
„ If you do not want to change any 
settings, press  Color Start 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 manufacturers 
support website or accompanying 
documentation.
