1.3.2.3 Multi-slot operations

V Overview

T There is only one type of card that can be used to simultaneously access both

a connected computer and the direct printing function.

T The slots have assigned priority to determine which slot will be accessed first

when cards are inserted in several slots at once.

T To select a card that has been inserted in a non-active slot, the card in the

active slot must first be removed.

• Direct printing: Only the image files in the active slot are valid and have assigned frame numbers. The number of images will not change if a card is also inserted in a non-selected slot.

• Connection to computer (Windows): Only one drive is displayed at a time as a “removable disk” and only the card that is in the active slot can be accessed via the removable disk. A card that has been inserted into a non-selected slot cannot be accessed.

• Connection to computer (Macintosh): Only the card in the active slot can be mounted on the desktop. A card that has been inserted into a non-selected slot canno t be mo unted on the des ktop.

V Details

T Access priority

The access priority among slots is assigned as: 1: CF (Micro Drive) 2: Smart Media 3: Memory Stick (Memory Stick PRO) 4: SD (MMC) 5: xD-Picture Card

T Slot selection when power is turned on

If cards are inserted in several slots when the power is turned on, the active slot is determined by the priority ranks listed above.

Example: If Smart Media and Memory Stick are both inserted at power-on,

the Smart Media slot becomes the active slot.

T Slot selection after power is turned on

When a card is removed from the active slot, the slot with the next-highest priority becomes the active slot (if a card has been inserted in to it). There is no need to re-insert any card befor e accessing it. If no slots contain any car ds, the highest-priority slot (CF Micro Drive) again becomes the active slot. Cards can be removed from non-selected slots in any order.

Example: If a memory stick and CF card are inserted while Smart Media is

selected, CF becomes selected (active) once Smart Media is removed.

1.5 Memory Card Print (only for Stylus CX4500/CX4600)

1.5.1 Basic Specifications

1.5.1.1 File system

DCF Version 1.0 is the only file system that can be used with this unit's stand-alone printing functions. Operation is not guaranteed when any other file system is used. The file system used by the card reader function depends on the host's specifications. For a detailed description of the DCF specifications, see the “Design Rule for Camera File System Standard, DCF Version 1.0, JEIDA-49-2-1998”.

1.5.1.2 Media format

V Media must be formatted according to the DCF Version 1.0 standard. V DOS FAT formats (FAT12, FAT16) and single partition (basic partition)

1.5.1.3 File formats

The file formats supported by this unit are described below. V JPEG files (*.JPG)

These are photo data files that comply with the Exif Version 2.1 or Version 2.2 standard.

V Camera specification files (*.MRK)

These are definition files used when in camera specification mode. An “AUTOPRINT.MRK” file whose full path name is no longer than 32 ch aracters is valid.

Note, however, any file that is saved in the following directories or their sub-directories cannot be included as files to be printed.

V Directories containing system properties or hidden properties V Directories that contain any double-byte characters in the directory name V “RECYCLED ” : Windows directory for deleted fi les V “PREVIEW” : Directories containing CASIO's DSC thumbnail images V “SCENE” : Directories containing data for CASIO's DSC Best Shot

function

V “MSSONY” : Directories containing SONY's DSC e-mail image data, voice

memos, video files, or non-compressed images

1.5.1.4 Valid image size

The maximum image size handled by this unit is:

V Horizontal : 120 ≤ X ≤ 4600 (pixels) V Vertical : 120 ≤ Y ≤ 4600 (pixels)

1.5.1.5 Maximum number of photo data files

This unit can handle up to 999 photo data files. If the amount of photo data to be recorded exceeds the capacity of one memory card, this unit uses file sorting rules to sort the photo data into v ali d photo data in f rames number ed f rom 1 to 999. Al though it is possible to print photo data files with frame numbers over 999 that have been specified for printing by camera specification files, the maximum number of frames that can be specified is 999 frames. If you insert a memory card t hat cont ains over 999 ph oto d ata fi les, only fi les up to 999 will be printed by the “Print All” or “Print index sheet” functions.

1.5.1.6 Thumbnail image data

This unit handles thumbnail image data in the DCF Version 1.0 format (Exif format, 160 x 120 pixels). During this unit's Index sheet and memory card printing modes, the layout is 80 thumbnails per sheet (when using plain paper or special paper in high-speed print mode).

1.5.1.7 File sorting

This unit stores all photo data files in the memory, using the photo data files' full-path file names (for example, “\DCIM\100EPSON\EPSN0000.JPG”), and assigned photo frame numbers. Since photo frame numbers are assigned based on this unit's own proprietary file sorting rules, the assigned frame numbers do not necessarily match those indicated by digital cameras.
