PhotoCapture Center®: Printing photos from a memory card or USB Flash memory drive105
13
The PhotoCapture Center® feature lets you 
print digital photos from your digital camera at 
high resolution to get photo quality printing.
Memory cards or 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).
„ The DPOF file on the memory cards must 
be in a valid DPOF format. (See  DPOF 
printing  on page 111.) Please be aware of the following:
„ When printing Print Index or Print Image, 
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
®.

DPOF printing13
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, Fuji Photo 
Film Co. Ltd., 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 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 112.)
„ 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.
