Using Print Mark to Print Photos

Your PhotoPC 3000Z comes with the Print Mark application installed. Print Mark takes your printing instructions and uses them to make a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) file, then saves it on the memory card in your camera.

The DPOF file allows you to select which photos to print, specify the number of prints for each photo, and print an index of the photos. By saving these printing instructions in advance, you can make sure that the correct photos are printed without having to give printing directions. These DPOF files can only be used with printers that are compatible with DPOF and EPSON IP-100 standards. Photo shops in some countries have printers compatible with these standards. Simply pass your memory card to them; they will insert the card into the DPOF-compatible printer and the photos that you specified will be printed.

Note:

Some EPSON consumer and commercial printers, as well as printers from other manufacturers, accept memory cards with DPOF instructions. See the user’s guide for your printer for details.

This chapter explains how to use Print Mark, and includes information on the topics below.
