The following are examples of documents which should not be copied: The following documents issued by the United States/Canadian Government or any of its Agencies may not be copied: Money Bonds or other certificates of indebtedness Certificates of Deposit Internal Revenue Stamps (canceled or uncanceled) Selective Service or draft papers Passports United States/Canadian Postage Stamps (canceled or uncanceled) Food Stamps Immigration Papers Checks or drafts drawn by Governmental agencies Identifying badges or insignias Copyrighted works cannot be copied.

Walk-Up PhotoCapture Center
Even if your DCP is not connected to your computer, you can print photos directly from the digital camera media. Your Brother DCP includes five media drives (slots) for use with popular digital camera media: CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, SecureDigital (SD Card) and xD-Picture Card.
CompactFlash (Type I only)

SmartMedia

Memory Stick

SecureDigital

xD-Picture Card
The PhotoCapture Center feature lets you print digital photos from your digital camera at high resolution to get photo quality printing.
miniSD can be used with miniSD adapter. Memory Stick Duo can be used with Memory Stick Duo adapter. Adapters are not included with the DCP. Contact a third party supplier for adapters.
WALK-UP PHOTOCAPTURE CENTER 3 - 1
PhotoCapture Center requirements
To avoid error conditions, please remember: The DPOF file on the media card must be in a valid format. (See DPOF printing on page 3-8.) The image file extension must be.JPG (Other image file extensions.JPEG,.TIF,.GIF and so on will not be recognized). Walk-up PhotoCapture Center printing must be performed separately from PhotoCapture Center operations using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not available.) IBM Microdrive is not compatible with the DCP. The DCP can read up to 999 files in a media card. Use only Smart media cards with a 3.3v voltage rating. CompactFlash Type II is not supported. When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the PhotoCapture Center will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed. Your DCP is designed to read media cards that have been formatted by a digital camera. When a digital camera formats a media card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a media card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the media card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder the DCP may not be able to read the file or print the image.

6 Images/Line

Press Color Start to start printing. Print time for 5 Images/Line will be slower than 6 Images/Line, but the quality is better. To print an image, see Printing images on page 3-6.

DPOF printing

DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format. Major Digital Camera manufacturers (Canon Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. and Sony Corporation.) created this standard to make it easier to print images from a digital camera. If your digital camera supports DPOF printing, you will be able to select on the Digital Camera display the images and number of copies you want to print. When the memory card (CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, SecureDigital and xD-Picture Card) containing DPOF information is put into your DCP, you can print the selected image easily. 1 Insert your media card into the C.Flash Active proper drive (slot). The media active message will be shown for 60 seconds and then disappear. Even in that case, you can enter the PhotoCapture mode by pressing PhotoCapture.

5 - 19 TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Replacing the ink cartridges
Your DCP is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the four cartridges. When the DCP detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the DCP will notify you with a message on the LCD. The LCD will inform you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order. Even though the DCP informs you that an ink cartridge is empty, there will be a small amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly. 1 Lift the scanner cover from the right-hand side of the DCP until it locks securely into the open position. If one or more ink cartridges are empty, for example Black, the LCD shows Ink Empty Black and Cover is Open. 2 Pull the ink cartridge hook toward you and remove the ink cartridge for the color shown on the LCD.
