Introduction to the DPOF Standard
The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is a digital print
standard that lets you create a file containing all the
information a photo finishing lab needs to print your photos.
You can also use DPOF files with DPOF-compatible photo
printers. Simply use Print Mark to select photos to print,
specify the number of copies, and store the information in a
DPOF file on your camera’s CompactFlash card.
NOTE
Some photo finishing labs and digital photo printers don’t support
the DPOF standard. Contact your local lab or read your printer
documentation to see if DPOF printing from CompactFlash
memory cards is available.
