Renaming image files

You can rename an image file simply by clicking in the file name display area and typing in a
new file name.

■ Automatic renaming

When you select the image to be renamed and select “Automatic Rename (A)” from the
“File (F

)” menu, the “Automatic Rename” dialog box opens and you can specify the file

name format.

This allows you to change the name of the selected file to name containing the date, time
and the specified text in a single operation. “Automatic Rename” replaces the file name
using the procedure shown below.

For example, when the selected image was shot at 9:21 and 15 seconds on March 3,
2003, and “SAMPLE” was entered in the “User Settings” field, the new name assigned is as
follows:

“Date” and “Time” specified ➔ “SAMPLE2003_0303_092115AA.JPG”
“Time” only specified ➔ “SAMPLE092115AA.JPG”
“Date” only specified ➔ “SAMPLE2003_0303AA.JPG”

Where the new file name will duplicate an existing file name, the two letters appended to
the end of the name are automatically incremented alphabetically to prevent duplication.
If a non-Exif image file or a file with no photography date or time information is
automatically renamed, the file's time stamp is automatically used.

USING THE NC-400D PRINTER DRIVER

☞

CAUTION

The NC-400D printer driver provides functions that allow you to use your printed
images in a variety of ways. Depending on the software application that is using
the printer driver, enabling these function settings may result in printed images
that differ from what is shown on your screen.

✏

NOTE

When printing images from an application that allows you to specify the image resolution,
set the resolution to 11.8 dot/mm (300 dpi).

Set up the printer driver.

Right-click the registered printer in the Printers folder and select “Properties” from the pop-up
menu to set up the printer driver.

In Windows 2000 or Windows XP, select the “General” tab in the Properties window and click
the [Printing Preferences] button.

☞

CAUTION

• Some software applications allow you to temporarily change the settings by
clicking the [Properties] button when you print. When you do this, the temporary
settings only apply to that application.

•When you temporarily change the settings from a software application, the
changed settings may not be reflected correctly. If this occurs, change the
settings in the Printers folder before you launch the application.

adjustment.

adjustment” setting, you can still adjust the quality by manually selecting the settings for cyan,
magenta, yellow and sharpness in “Print quality adjustment”.
