How to setup a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) on the EOS 5D Mk II

Solution

Digital Print Order Format (DPOF)

You can set the print type, date imprinting, and file No. imprinting. The print settings will be applied to all print-ordered images. (They cannot be set individually for each image.)

Setting Print Options

1 Select [Print order].
  • Under the [] tab, select [Print order], then press <>.

2 Select [Set up].

  • Select [Set up], then press <>.

3 Set the option as desired.

  • Set the [Print type], [Date], and [File No.].
  • Select the option, then press <>.
  • Select the desired setting, then press <>.

4 Exit the setting.
  • Press the <MENU> button.
  • The print order screen will reappear.
  • Next, select [Sel.Image], [Byn], or [All image] to order the images to be printed.
  • Even if [Date] and [File No.] are set to [On], the date or file No. might not be imprinted depending on the print type setting and printer model.
  • When printing with DPOF, you must use the card whose print order specifications have been set. It will not work if you just extract images from the card and try to print them.
  • Certain DPOF-compatible printers and photofinishers might not be able to print the images as you specified. If this happens with your printer, refer to the printer's instruction manual. Or check with your photofinisher about compatibility when ordering prints.
  • Do not insert into the camera a card whose print order was set by a different camera and then try to specify a print order. The print order may not work or may be overwritten. Also, depending on the image type, the print order may not be possible.
  • Print ordering does not work with RAW images and movies.
  • With [Index] prints, the [Date] and [File No.] cannot be set to [On] at the same time.
Select and order images one by one. Press the <> button to display the three-image view. To return to the single image display, press the <> button. After completing the print order, press the <MENU> button to save the print order to the card.

[Standard]

Press <> and a print order for 1 copy of the displayed image will be placed. Then turn the <> dial to set the number of copies (up to 99) to be printed for that image.

[Index]

Press <>, and the displayed image will be included in the index print. The <> icon will also appear on the upper left

Select [] and select the folder. A print order for 1 copy of all the images in the folder will be placed. If you select Clear all and a folder, the print order for all the images in the folder will be canceled.

All image

A print order for 1 copy of all the images in the card will be placed. If you select Clear all, the print order for all the images in the card will be canceled.
