PhotoCapture Center™ requirements
To avoid error conditions, please remember:
■The DPOF file on the media card must be in a valid format. 
(See DPOF printing
 on page 3-8.)
■The image file extension must be .JPG (Other image file 
extensions .JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized).
■Walk-up PhotoCapture Center™ printing must be performed 
separately from PhotoCapture Center™ operations using the PC.
(Simultaneous operation is not available.)
■IBM Microdrive™ is not compatible with the DCP.
■The DCP can read up to 999 files in a media card.
■Use only Smart media cards with a 3.3v voltage rating.
■CompactFlash® Type II
 is not supported.
When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the PhotoCapture Center™ 
will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have 
been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be 
printed.
Your DCP is designed to read media cards that have been 
formatted by a digital camera.
When a digital camera formats a media card it creates a special 
folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the 
image data stored on a media 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 media card we also recommend you use the same folder 
your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same 
folder the DCP may not be able to read the file or print the 
image.
