Writing the Print Information to the Card

DPOF is the abbreviation for Digital Print 
Order Format. This feature allows you to 
designate which images will be printed.
In order to use DPOF to designate which 
photos will be printed, the printer you use 
must also support DPOF. In addition, many 
commercial photo-printing services support 
DPOF. Please contact them before using their 
service.
