Print Photos from a Proofsheet

A proofsheet is a simple and convenient way to select photos and make prints directly from a camera or memory card without the need for a computer.

Proofsheet printing is a two step process. In the first step, you connect a PTP camera or insert a memory card and print a proofsheet. In the second step, you select pictures to print from the proofsheet and then scan the proofsheet into the EasyShare AiO.

IMPORTANT: If the AiO printer goes into standby mode, power is lost, or you unplug the memory card, camera, or USB device before you scan the proofsheet, the proofsheet session number becomes invalid and you will need to re-print it.

1Insert a memory card into the appropriate slot, a mass storage device into the USB port, or connect a digital camera to the USB port. The first photo is displayed.

WARNING

Never attempt to remove a memory card while it is being accessed. Doing so can damage files on the card. You can safely remove a card only when the status light next to the slots is not blinking.

2Load the main tray (see Load Main Tray in Chapter 3) with letter size plain paper.

3Press Menu.

4Press b until Proofsheet is selected.

5Press OK.

6Press Start to print the proofsheet.

7Complete the four steps on the proofsheet with the memory card, storage device, or camera connected.

Tagged Photos (DPOF)

The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-standard file that can be created by some digital cameras. Camera-selected photos are photos you tag for printing with your digital camera. When you select photos with your camera, the camera creates a DPOF file that identifies which photos have been tagged for printing. Your Kodak EasyShare AiO can read the DPOF file from the memory card in a camera so you do not have to re-select the photos to print.

NOTE: Not all digital cameras allow you to tag your photos for printing. See your digital camera documentation to see if it supports tagging (DPOF).

When you print tagged photos, the selected default layout is applied, unless your camera allows selection of sizes.

The DPOF file is stored by the digital camera on a memory card and specifies the following information:

„Which photos to print

„The quantity of each photo to print

„Rotation applied to a photo

„Cropping applied to a photo

„Index printing (thumbnails of selected photos)
