Note: If you delete an image that is referenced in a DPOF file on the memory card, you must erase and then re-create the DPOF file before you can print images via the DPOF file.

Using a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) File

A DPOF file is a file you create using your camera that allows you to pre-select which images you want to print. The file is stored on the memory card and contains information about which images are selected, how many of each image is to be printed, and at what size to print each of them. The file is used by selected HP printers and other printing devices that can read a DPOF file directly from the memory card.

Creating a DPOF File

To create a DPOF file:

1Set the camera mode dial to Review mode .

2Power on the camera if you haven’t already.

3Either select one image or mark multiple images in the Review mode screen that you want to include in the DPOF file. (See “Selecting Images” on page 30 and “Marking and Unmarking Images” on page 31 for more information.)
