DPOF

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DPOF (Digital Print Order format) is a format which allows the user of a digicam to define which captured images on the storage card are to be printed, together with information on the number of copies or other image information such as paper size, image title text, image orientation, contact information and more.

DPOF usually consists of a set of text files in a special directory on the storage card. This option can be accessed through one of the menu modes on the camera. The storage card can then be taken to a print shop or output through compatible desktop printers at home.

DPOF was developed by a consortium of printer and camera manufacturers: Canon, Kodak, FujiFilm and Panasonic. Originally released in 1999 ^{[citation needed]}, the updated version 1.10 was released in July 2000^[1]. This latest version added the following features: "Multi-Image Print", "Size Specifying Print", "Auto Transfer" and "Auto Play".
