Using a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) File
A DPOF file is a file that you create using your digital camera. It is stored on the memory card and contains
information such as which photos are selected and how many of each photo is to be printed. For example, when you
gather with family and friends to view your photos, you could create a DPOF file containing references of photos
they want to print. Some printers can read a DPOF file from the memory card so that you do not have to re-select the
photos to print.
Note: If you delete a photo that is referenced in a DPOF file on the memory card, you need to recreate the DPOF
file before printing the photos directly from the memory card.
