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.
The following DPOF settings are available.
„1 in 1 printing
„Copies

as a storage device
13
Even if your camera is not in PictBridge 
mode, or does not support PictBridge, you 
can connect your camera as a normal 
storage device. This enables you to print 
photos from your camera. 
Follow the steps in Printing data directly from 
the USB flash memory drive on page 85.
(If you would like to print photos in PictBridge 
mode, see Setting your digital camera 
on page 80)
Note
The name of the storage mode and 
operation differs among digital cameras. 
Please refer to the documentation 
supplied with your camera for detailed 
information, such as how to switch from 
PictBridge mode to mass storage mode.
