Selecting a DPOF file
Selecting a paper size and a paper type
EPSON PhotoQuicker conforms to DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) version 1.10. DPOF lets you set photo numbers and the number of copies for photos on the digital camera before you print. To create DPOF data, you must use a digital camera that supports DPOF.
 |
Note:
|
 |
EPSON PhotoQuicker only reads DPOF information when it is started by another utility such as EPSON PhotoStarter (for printers) or EPSON CameraStarter (for cameras). You also need to set EPSON PhotoStarter to open EPSON PhotoQuicker automatically when a memory card is inserted into the appropriate PC card slot. For details on EPSON PhotoStarter, see your printer documentation. For details on EPSON CameraStarter, see your camera documentation.
