Chapter 9 How to print pictures When you want to print out pictures that you have taken with this camera and stored on a card, perform Print Reserve (P. 164-166). Print Reserve allows you to save printing data (number of prints, date printed on pictures, etc.) with the pictures stored on the card. Several different printing options are available: Ⅵ Printing at a photo lab that supports DPOF or printing on a DPOF compatible printer ●What is DPOF? DPOF is short for Digital Print Order Format. DPOF is a format used to record automatic print information from cameras. By specifying which images are to be printed, the images can be printed easily by DPOFcompatible printing service labs or a personal DPOF-compatible printer. Ⅵ Printing on an Olympus CAMEDIA P-400, P-200 or P-330N(E) digital printer If you insert a card with Print Reserve data into the printer, printing is possible without using a computer. For more details, refer to the printer's instructions. Ⅵ Transferring pictures to a computer (P. 172-184) and printing them from a printer connected to the computer Refer to the application software's instructions. TIPS ● Picture size and printing The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per square inch. This is called "dpi" (dots per inch). The higher the dpi value, the higher the resolution, and the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the picture you want to print does not change to match the printer resolution. This means that when you print an image with a lower resolution than the printer, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease. If you want to be able to print large, high-quality pictures, set the picture size in the camera as high as possible (higher record mode) (P. 114). 162
