What is DPOF?

DPOF is short for Digital Print Order Format. DPOF is the format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.

If a card containing print reservation data is taken to a photo lab that supports the DPOF format, the pictures can be printed according to the DPOF reservations. Or pictures can be printed out at home on a personal DPOF-compatible printer.

Printing on an Olympus P-400, or P-200 digital color printer Printing is possible on specified printers without using a PC. For more details, refer to the printer's instruction manual.

An xD-Picture Card cannot be inserted into the printer without a specified card adapter (sold separately).
