DD PrintCenter Introduction

DD PrintCenter lets you easily print digital photos by using a variety of layout templates. Please note that as an indivisible part of DD PlayCam software, this function allows you only to print photos generated by DD PlayCam software and saved automatically in the DD PlayCam folder within My Pictures.

a. Step 1: Select Paper Size and Layout or Load Document

DD PrintCenter provides you three standard paper sizes. They are A4, 46 and 35 inch styles.

Each paper size contains three types of layout templates. First, you select a paper size and you can see three corresponding layout templates on the right part of the window. Each layout template shows you the actual size of a single photo and the number of photos a single paper can print, such as 24mm^*18mm . Select the layout by directly clicking the template, and then click the Next button. Or click Load button to open an existing DD PrintCenter document.

b. Step 2: Choose and Load Photo

You can see an empty layout template and thumbnail pictures that you captured and saved in the DD PlayCam folder. Roll over any pictures you want to print and drag it directly into an empty position you would like to place it in the template. Or click an empty position first and the frame of the position is marked immediately, double click on the picture you want to print. You will see the picture you have selected appear in that that position.

c. Step 3: Add, Delete and Save

If you want to print several copies from the same picture, you do not have to repeat the steps for dragging. You only need to select the target picture which you have already dragged into template and click the "+" button. The picture will duplicate at the next position automatically. One click, one duplication! If you want to delete the picture that you have already dragged into template, just select the target picture and click the - button. On the other hand, if you want to save the whole template with the selected pictures for printing next time or elsewhere, just click on the "Save" button. The whole template will be saved as a single JPEG file extension. In the save combo box, you can select another file extension called PCF to save the template layout you have edited as a DD PrintCenter document. For the next time, you can use the Load button to open the PCF file for further editing. You can also use Save as a function to save a file as the format you indicated.

d. Step 4: Preview and Print

You can click the Preview button, then Print. However, please note that DD PrintCenter does not provide functions for controlling or adjusting any settings of your client printer device. We recommend you should check your printer settings and the paper you have loaded before printing.
