Glossary of Terms I What is “PictBridge”? PictBridge is a standard for printing images shot on a digital camera without using a PC by connecting the camera directly to the printer. By using PictBridge to connect a digital camera and printer, digital photos can be printed quickly and easily using simple procedures on the camera, even when different brands of camera and printer are used. 62 When trouble occurs 4 Definition of terms G DCF Short for Design rule for Camera file system, standard established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industry Association (JEITA). G DPOF This stands for Digital Print Order Format and refers to a format for recording print settings for digital camera images on media such as xD-Picture Cards. The settings include the frames to be printed and the number of copies of each frame. G Exif Exif is a full color still picture format for digital still cameras approved by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industry Association. It is interchangeable with TIFF and JPEG and can be handled by general picture processing software. It also sets forth a thumbnail and camera information recording method. DCF, which includes folder structure and file name rules, is a JEITA Exif Print Standard. G Exif Print Exif Print is the general name of Exif 2.2 that amplifies the recording method stipulation of the original standard Exif 2.1. High quality print output that faithfully reflects the digital camera photographic data and the intent of the photographer can be obtained. G Folder A location in which related files are stored. Other folders can also be stored inside a folder. G Image Intelligence FUJIFILM’s own image processing software for ultra-high-quality digital images. G JPEG JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and originally was the name of the group that recommended standardization of picture compression. JPEG is a file format for compressing and storing standardized color pictures. The compression rate can be selected, but the higher the compression rate, the poorer the picture quality at decompression (picture recovery). G Motion JPEG Motion JPEG is a file format AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format for handling both pictures and audio with one file. The pictures in the file are recorded in JPEG format. With a PC, the picture and audio can be reproduced by using the following software: Windows: MediaPlayer ✽DirectX8.0 or later Macintosh: QuickTime Player ✽QuickTime 3.0 or later G PC card A large 54.0 mm width × 85.6 mm long calling card with a 68-pin socket. Three types are available with lengths of 3.3 mm (Type I), 5.0 mm (Type II), and 10.5 mm (Type III). These cards are used as portable PC memory card and modem, network card, and external memory device, and similar applications. G Printpix system A printing system that uses heat sensitive paper that generates colors when heated. G Thermal head Printing head. G USB Stands for Universal Serial Bus, a general-purpose serial interface standard for low and medium speed devices. Maintenance Printer maintenance G Gently wipe the cabinet and operation panel with a soft cloth. When soiling is severe, wipe with a cloth dampened with a neutral solvent diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth. G Unplug the power cord plug from the AC outlet before servicing the printer. The thermal head, lamps, and mechanisms inside the printer have a service life. It is recommended that they be inspected and replaced about every 3000 sheets. The total number of prints can be checked using the menus. See P.50 for details. 65 Connecting to a Digital Camera and Printing 5 Connecting to a Digital Camera and Printing Printing can be controlled from the digital camera. — Symptom Cause Remedy Printing image data with DPOF settings specified. — The digital camera cable was connected while the printer was connected to a PC.
