Your machine is designed to be compatible
with modern digital camera image files and
memory cards; however, please read the
points below to avoid errors:
Your machine is designed to read memory
cards that have been formatted by a digital
camera.
When a digital camera formats a memory
card it creates a special folder into which it
copies image data. If you need to modify
the image data stored on a memory card
with your PC, we recommend that you do
not modify the folder structure created by
the digital camera. When saving new or
modified image files to the memory card
we also recommend you use the same
folder your digital camera uses. If the data
is not saved to the same folder, the
machine may not be able to read the file or
print the image.
The image file extension must be .JPG
(other image file extensions like .JPEG,
.TIF, .GIF and so on will not be
recognized).
Direct PhotoCapture Center® printing
must be performed separately from
PhotoCapture Center® operations using
the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not
available.)
The machine can read up to 999 files on a
memory card.
The DPOF file on the memory cards must
be in a valid DPOF format. (See DPOF
