Digital Print-Order Format (DPOF)
The Print Set option in the playback menu is used to create a digital “print
order” that is stored on the memory card in Digital Print-Order Format (DPOF).
Once you have prepared a print order, the card can be removed from the cam-
era and inserted in a DPOF-compatible device, be it a personal photo printer
or a photofinisher’s print system, and pictures printed directly from the card.
See “Ordering Prints” (
174) for information on creating digital print orders.
Printing from Removable Media
Even if your photofinisher does not offer support for DPOF, you may still be able
to get professional prints made by copying the pictures you want to print to a
Zip disk or other removable media and taking the disk to your photofinisher
(check with your photofinisher first for information on pricing and the types of
disks and file formats supported). Pictures can be copied to disk using Nikon
View 4. For information on the operations that can be performed while the
camera is connected to your computer, see the Nikon View 4 Reference Manual.

PRINT Image Matching
The COOLPIX5000 supports “PRINT Image Matching” (PIM) technology devel-
oped by Epson. Photographs taken with the COOLPIX5000 include additional
information about color settings. When the images are output on a PIM-com-
pliant printer, this information can be used to optimize printer settings for vivid,
photo-quality results.
Print Size
The size of images when printed depends on the resolution of the printer (the
higher the resolution, the smaller the final print size). The following table shows
how images of different sizes will print at a resolution of 300 dpi.
