1.3.2.3 Multi-slot Operations
Overview
There is only one type of card that can be used to simultaneously access both
a connected computer and the direct printing function.
The slots have assigned priority to determine which slot will be accessed first
when cards are inserted in several slots at once.
To select a card that has been inserted in a non-active slot, the card in the
active slot must first be removed.
Only the image files in the active slot are valid and
Direct printing

Details
have assigned frame numbers. The number of images
will not change if a card is also inserted in a nonselected slot.
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.
Only the card in the active slot can be mounted on the
desktop. A card that has been inserted into a nonselected slot cannot be mounted on the desktop.
Access priority
The access priority among slots is assigned as:
1: Memory Stick (Memory Stick PRO)/SD (MMC)/xD-Picture Card
2: CF (Micro Drive)
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 CF and Memory Stick are both inserted at power-on, the xD-
Picture Card slot becomes the active slot.
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 into it). There is no
need to re-insert any card before accessing it.

1.5 Memory Card Print
1.5.1 Basic Specifications
1.5.1.1 File System
DCF Version 1.0 or 2.0 is the 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 “Design Rule for Camera File
System Standard, DCF Version 2.0, JEIDA-CP-3461”.
1.5.1.2 Media Format
Media must be formatted according to the DCF Version 1.0 or 2.0 standard.
DOS FAT formats (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32*1) and single partition (basic
partition)
Note *1 : Only the card to which use is permitted by each memory card standard
1.5.1.3 File Formats
The file formats supported by this unit are described below.
JPEG files (*.JPG)
These are photo data files that comply with the Exif Version 2.21. (Extif version
1.0/2.0/2.1/2.2/2.21)
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 characters is
valid.
PRINT Image Framer (P.I.F.) definition file (*.USD)
(Stylus CX5900/CX6000/DX6000/DX6050 only)
File to define the layout in accordance with the PRINT Image Framer
specifications. Files only in the “
with Print Image Framer Rev.2.1.
¥\EPUDL\¥” directory are available. Compatible
C H E C K
P O I N T
However, any file that is saved in the following directories or their
sub-directories cannot be included as files to be printed.
Directories containing system properties or hidden properties
Directories that contain any double-byte characters in the
directory name
“RECYCLED”: Windows directory for deleted files
“PREVIEW”: Directories containing CASIO's DSC
thumbnail images
“SCENE”: Directories containing data for CASIO's DSC
Best Shot function
“MSSONY”: Directories containing SONY's DSC e-mail
image data, voice memos, video files, or noncompressed images
“DCIM¥ALBUM¥IMAGE”: Directories containing CASIO's
DSC album data save directory.
1.5.1.4 Valid Image Size
The maximum image size handled by this unit is:
Horizontal: 80 X 9200 (pixels)
Vertical: 80 Y 9200 (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 valid photo data in frames numbered from 1 to 999. Although 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 that contains over 999 photo data files, only files 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 or 2.0 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).

EPSON Stylus CX4900/CX4905/CX5000/DX5000/DX5050/CX5900/CX6000/DX6000/DX6050 Revision A
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.
1.5.1.8 File Sorting Rules
This unit sorts photo data files based on the following prioritization rule.
File name is sorted in ASCII order as full path name.
NOTE: Sorting results are not guaranteed if two files have matching full-path file
names. (Matching full-path file names are not allowed under the DOS
specification.)
1.5.1.9 Rules for Acquisition of Date/Time Data
The following priorities are used to fetch date and time information from photo data
files.
1. Date/time data that complies with the standard format (Exif) for digital
cameras
2. Date/time data that complies with the DOS standard file system (file time
stamps)
3. Fixed values (01/01/1980, 00:00:00)
Note that the date/time data assigned to individual photo data files does not necessarily
match the date/time when the photo was actually taken. The photo date/time may be
modified due to the digital camera's calendar settings (presence/absence of functions,
incorrect date/time settings, etc.), processing of the photo data after the photo was
taken, or subsequent saving of data. In such cases, this unit performs the relevant
processing based on the most recently modified date/time data.
1.5.1.10 Number of Sheets which can be Printed in Total
Printing sum total number of sheets presupposes that it is possible to 999 sheets.
Moreover, the printing sum total number of sheets per sheet is possible to 99 sheets.
