Batch print selects all JPEG images (fine, standard, and economy) on the memory card for printing. When the all-frames option is selected, a screen opens so the number of copies of each image can be specified. Up to nine copies can be printed. The reset option cancels all changes made to the print selection screen.

After the batch-print option is chosen, the USB DIRECT-PRINT selection screen will show which images and the number of copies selected. The controller can be used to edit the print order, see page 101.
