 DPOF print setting is a convenient 
function when printing pictures with a 
printer that supports PictBridge (P82). 
The date printing setting on the printer

setting on the camera. Check the date 
printing setting on the printer also. (P82)
 It is necessary to delete all previous  DPOF print information made on other 
equipment when setting DPOF print on 
the camera.
 If the file is not based on the DCF  standard, the DPOF print setting cannot
