Different Ways to Print
There are many ways to print out the images stored on you SmartMedia card. Polaroid
printing was explained in Chapters 3 to 5. Other methods of printing are described

Pre-selected digital prints (by printer or by photofinishing service)
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) lets you make print selections directly on the card.
You can also specify whether or not to include a date or time caption. After making
your selections, you can print directly to a DPOF-compliant printer or you can drop the
card off for printing at DPOF-capable photofinishing service. (But note that you cannot
select movie images, and you cannot specify the number of copies for each print.
