ISetting the DPOF Print Settings []
You can select images on a memory card for printing and specify the
number of print copies in advance using the camera. The settings used
on the camera comply with the Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)
standards. This is extremely convenient for printing on a direct print
compatible printer, or for sending the images to a photo developing
service that supports DPOF.
The Aicon may display for a memory card with print settings
set by a different DPOF-compliant camera. These settings will
be overwritten by those set by your camera.
Setting the Print Style
After setting the print style, select the images for printing. The following
settings can be selected. * Default setting
d* Prints one image per page.
Prints the selected images together at a
Print Type __ reduced size in an index format.
I[]_i_ Both Prints the images in both the standard and
index formats.
[] Date (OnlOff*) Adds the date to the print.
[] File No. (On/Off*) Adds the file number to the print.
Clear DPOF data (On*lOft) Clears all print settings after the images print.
