The Print set option in the playback menu is used to create a digital “print order” list- ing the pictures to be printed, the number of prints, and the information to be included on each print. This print order is stored on the camera memory card in Digital Print Order Format (DPOF). Once a print order has been created, the memory card can be inserted in a DPOF-compatible device and the pictures printed directly from the card. Before using this option, check that the printer or print service supports DPOF. Note that:

•If the Print set option has not been used to create a print order, all the pictures on the memory card will be printed

•The print order is not copied to the computer when pictures are transferred using Nikon View
