Memory cards folder 
structures8
Your machine is designed to be compatible 
with modern digital camera image files, 
memory cards; 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).
Direct PhotoCapture Center™ printing 
must be performed separately from 
PhotoCapture Center™ operations using 
the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not 
available.)
The machine can read up to 999 files on a 
memory card.
The DPOF file on the memory cards must 
be in a valid DPOF format. (See DPOF 
printing on page 28.)Please be aware of the following:
When printing an index or image, the 
PhotoCapture Center™ will print all the 
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.

DPOF printing8
DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.
Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon 
Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, FUJIFILM 
Corporation, 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 a memory card containing DPOF 
information is put into your machine, you can 
print the chosen image easily.
aMake sure you have put the memory 
card in the correct slot.
Press (PHOTO CAPTURE). The 
machine will ask you if you want to use 
DPOF settings.
bPress 1 to choose Yes.
cDo one of the following:
Change the print settings. (See 
PhotoCapture Center™ print 
settings on page 28.)
If you do not want to change any 
settings, press Colour Start to print. 
Note
A 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.
