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