Different Ways to Print
There are many ways to print out the images stored on you SmartMedia card. Polaroid
printing was explained in Chapters 3 to 5. Other methods of printing are described
below.
Pre-selected digital prints (by printer or by photofinishing service)
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) lets you make print selections directly on the card.
You can also specify whether or not to include a date or time caption. After making
your selections, you can print directly to a DPOF-compliant printer or you can drop the
card off for printing at DPOF-capable photofinishing service. (But note that you cannot
select movie images, and you cannot specify the number of copies for each print.
Please also note that these settings have no effect on Polaroid printing.) See page
157.
Using an Olympus photo printer (sold separately)
Just insert the card into the printer’s card slot, and you’re ready to begin printing. You
can control the print operation using the controls on the printer. (See page 162.)
Using your computer
You can transfer the card data to your computer (see page 182). You can then use the
computer to process the data as desired and to print the results to the computer’s
printer. You can use any of the following to transfer the data to your computer.
• Dedicated USB cable and CAMEDIA Master software
• Floppy-disk adapter (sold separately)
• PC-card adapter (sold separately)
• USB SmartMedia reader/writer (sold separately)
For more information, refer to the instructions included with the hardware and software
you are using.
About DPOF
Digital Print Order Format, a special information format designed specifically for
digital cameras, allows you to include print instructions directly on the
SmartMedia card. You can use this feature to select the images you want to
print, and to select whether or not to include a date or time caption.
You can then drop the card off at a photofinishing service, and they will print out
the images in accordance with the instructions on the card. You can also print
directly from a DPOF-compliant printer.
