PhotoCapture Center™ operations

Memory cards or a USB Flash memory drive folder structure4

Your machine is designed to be compatible with modern digital camera image files, memory cards and USB Flash memory drives; however, please read the points below to avoid errors:
The image file extension must be .JPG
(other image file extensions like .JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).
Direct PhotoCapture Center™ printing
must be performed separately from PhotoCapture Center™ operations using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not available.)
The machine can read up to 999 files on a
memory card or USB Flash memory drive.
The DPOF file on the memory cards must
be in a valid DPOF format. (See DPOF printing on page 19.)
4
Please be aware of the following:
4
When printing an index or image, the
PhotoCapture Center™ will print all valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. Corrupted images will not be printed.
(memory card users)
Your machine is designed to read memory cards that have been formatted by a digital camera.
When a digital camera formats a memory card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a memory card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the memory card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder, the machine may not be able to read the file or print the image.
(USB Flash memory drive users)
