Creating a DPOF Print Order: Print Set
The [Print set] option in the playback menu is used to create digital “print
orders” for printing on DPOF-compatible devices (c140). 
In addition to pictures themselves, shooting date and photo information
(shutter speed, aperture, etc.) can also be printed.
When the camera is connected to a PictBridge-compatible printer, pictures
can be printed from the printer according to the DPOF print order you have
created for pictures on the memory card. If the memory card is removed
from the camera, you can create the DPOF print order for pictures in the
internal memory and print pictures according to the DPOF print order.

5Choose whether or not to also print
shooting date and photo information.
[Date]: Print date of recording on all pictures in the
print order.
[Info]: Print shutter speed and aperture on all pictures
in the print order. Note that this information is not
printed with direct connection to a printer.
[Done]: Complete the print order and exit.

jPrint Set
[Date] and [Info] are reset each time the print set menu is displayed.
kDeleting All Print Orders
Choose [Delete print set] in step 3 and press d. Print orders for all pictures will be deleted.
kNote on the Print Set [Date] Option
The date and time printed on pictures with DPOF printing
when [Date] in the print set menu is enabled are those
recorded with the picture when it was taken. Date and time
printed using this option are not affected when the camera’s
date and time setting are changed from the setup menu after
pictures are recorded.
lDifferences Between Print Set and Date Imprint
Date and time can only be printed on pictures using the [Date] option in the print set menu
when pictures are printed from a DPOF-compatible printer (c140). Use the [Date imprint]
(c112) option in the setup menu to print the date on pictures from a printer that does not
support DPOF (position of the date is fixed). When the date option for both [Print set] and
[Date imprint] is enabled, only the date from the [Date imprint] option is printed, even when a
DPOF-compatible printer is used.
