Chapter 5: Sharing Images 52 Using a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) File
Using a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) File
A DPOF file is a file you create using your camera that allows you to pre-select which images you
want to print. The file is stored on the memory card and contains information about which images
are selected, how many of each image is to be printed, and at what size to print each of them. The file
is used by selected HP printers and other printing devices that can read a DPOF file directly from the
memory card.
Note: If you delete an image that is referenced
in a DPOF file on the memory card, you must
erase and then re-create the DPOF file before
you can print images via the DPOF file.
