Printing From DPOF Settings

If a digital camera that supports DPOF was used, the images to print and the quantity for each image can also be specified at the camera.

When image and quantity selection was made at the camera and such a memory card is then inserted into the slot of this unit, the selection data generated by the digital camera are automatically read by the unit. By using these data, printing can be carried out quickly and easily.

If the number of images selected at the digital camera is higher than the maximum allowable number of prints per order, the image list screen will appear, with the number of images corresponding to the maximum number being selected. You can then proceed to print these images, or change the image selection.

This function is active when [Print] or [Print All Images] is selected at the Main Menu.

Memo

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard that enables automatic printing of images taken with a digital camera. Digital cameras supporting this standard write information about image selection and print quantity onto the memory card. This information can then be used by DPOF compatible photo printers to enable quick and easy printing.

Note

Available functions and operation steps for specifying DPOF information depend on the digital camera model. For details, refer to the documentation of your camera.

Printing From a Computer

When a commercially available USB cable is used to connect the unit to a computer, data sent from the computer can be printed out using this unit.

When the USB cable is plugged in, the indication “PC MODE” is shown on the display of the unit. In this condition, the touch panel is inactive.

To print from a computer, you need to access the [System] tab on the administration screen and set [PC Connection] to [ON].

Installing the Printer Driver

If the unit is to be controlled from a computer, you must install the supplied printer driver on the computer before connecting the unit to the computer for the first time. For details on installation, refer to the installation guide and the Readme file on the supplied CD-ROM.

Note

The supplied printer driver does not support printing via a network.
