DPOF printing options PowerShot S80

Solution

Print Settings (DPOF Print Settings)

You can select images on an memory card for printing and specify the number of print copies in advance using the camera. This is extremely convenient for sending the images to a participating photo lab or for printing on a direct print function compatible printer.

  • The mark appears with memory card images that have had print settings set by other DPOF-compliant cameras. These settings will be overwritten by those set by your camera.
  • The output of some digital printers or photo lab services may not reflect the specified print settings.
  • Print settings cannot be set for movie images.

Printing with DPOF Print Settings

You can use the DPOF print settings to print with an optional direct print function compatible printer (CP Series) or with a direct print function compatible BJ printer.  This procedure will only be applicable when the PowerShot S80 is connected to a compatible printer and the printer and the camera are powered on.

  2. Select [Print] using the directional buttons on the multi control dial, and press the <FUNC./SET> button.

  4. Select [OK] using the directional buttons on the multi control dial, and press the <FUNC./SET> button.

  • To print the date, set the [Date] setting in the print order menu in Step 2 above to [On]. You cannot set the date to print with the [Style] menu in Step 3 above. If the print type is set to [Index], the date will not print even if the [Date] setting is set to [On] in Step 2.
  • When the print type is set to , it is possible to have the [Date] and [File No.] options set to [On], but only the file number will print on the Index print. (With a BJ printer, the file number and the date cannot be printed in the [Index] option)
  • When the print type is set to [Standard], file numbers will not be printed even if they are set to [On].


  The maximum number of images printed on one page in the Index print type depends upon the selected paper size.

Card Size: 20 images
L Size: 42 images
Postcard Size: 63 images

(Please refer to your Bubble Jet's user guide for an explanation of the number of images printed with a Bubble Jet printer.)


Restarting Printing

In the Print Order menu, select [Resume] using the left and right buttons and press the <FUNC./SET> button. The remaining images can be printed.

Printing cannot be restarted under the following circumstances:

  • If the print settings have been changed before restarting.
  • If the image for which the print settings were set has been deleted before restarting.
  • If there was very little free space on the memory card when the printing was cancelled. If these circumstances apply, you can select [OK] in the Print Order menu and reprint starting from the first image. If printing was cancelled because the camera battery became discharged, you are recommended to recharge or replace the battery with a charged one. After replacing the spent battery, turn the camera's power on again.
