    memory drive folder structure5
    Your machine is designed to be compatible 
    with modern digital camera image files, USB 
    Flash memory drive or memory cards; 
    however, please read the points below to 
    avoid errors:
    „ The image file extension must be .JPG 
    (Other image file extensions like .JPEG, 
    .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be 
    recognized).
    „ PhotoCapture Center™ printing without 
    using a PC must be performed separately 
    from PhotoCapture Center™ operations 
    using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is 
    not available.)
    „ IBM Microdrive™ is not compatible with 
    the machine.
    „ The machine can read up to 999 files on a 
    memory card.
    „ This product supports xD-Picture Card™ 
    includes Type M / Type M
    + / Type H 
    (Large Capacity).
    „ The DPOF file on the memory cards must 
    be in a valid DPOF format. (See  DPOF 
    printing  on page 35.) Please be aware of the following:
    „ When printing the Print Index or Print 
    Images, the PhotoCapture Center™ will 
    print all valid images, even if one or more 
    images have been corrupted. Corrupted 
    image will not be printed.
    „ (Memory card users)
    Your machine is designed to read memory 
    cards that have been formatted by a digital 
    camera.
    When a digital camera formats a memory 
    card it creates a special folder into which it 
    copies image data. If you need to modify 
    the image data stored on a memory card 
    with your PC, we recommend that you do 
    not modify the folder structure created by 
    the digital camera. When saving new or 
    modified image files to the memory card 
    we also recommend you use the same 
    folder your digital camera uses. If the data 
    is not saved to the same folder, the 
    machine may not be able to read the file or 
    print the image.
