PRINTING IMAGES

This camera is supported by DPOF™ version 1.1. The DPOF (Digital
Print Order Format) was jointly developed by Eastman Kodak
Company, Canon Inc., Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., and Matsushita
Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. for direct printing from digital cameras.
This format allows images on the digital camera to be printed by
photofinishing print services or computer printers. DPOF enables you
to order prints of specific pictures from all the files on the camera's
CompactFlash card. DPOF manages which images are to be printed
and the printing format.
If the CompactFlash card contains DPOF data from another camera, that DPOF data
will be cancelled when the card is used with the E201. The camera cannot create a
DPOF file for images taken by another camera.

PRINTING FORMAT

Still images can be printed out. To create a DPOF printing file, the function dial must be
set to single-frame or index playback. The playback menu gives two printing formats to
choose from: standard and index.
STD (Standard): Prints each selected image on one sheet of paper.
INDEX: Prints thumbnails of selected images on one sheet.
When creating a print order, one index print and one set of
standard prints can be made. Once the format has
been selected on the playback menu,
operations made on the print-order menu
will only effect the selected format.
To get prints from the DPOF file, the
CompactFlash card can be taken to a
photofinishing service or inserted into the
CompactFlash card slot of printers that support
DPOF. After the pictures have been printed, the
DPOF file will remain on the CompactFlash card
and must be cancelled manually.
