About DPOF
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard for recording printing 
instructions (image selections, quantity to print, etc.) in the CF card. In 
this way, you can print multiple pictures in one batch or give the print 
order to a photofinisher.

Canon camera with various printers, such as which paper 
types to use. http://canon.com/pictbridge/
