To print from a CompactFlash or SmartMedia card, the user simply inserts a card into the Polaroid P-500, selects the photo to be printed (the P-500 employs the new Digital Print Order Format or DPOF algorithm), activates the print control, and in seconds receives a finished print of the digital image. In addition, batch printing of multiple copies or series printing of selected prints may be easily programmed into the P-500, which automatically re-formats images up to three megapixels for optimal printing.The new Polaroid P-500 also incorporates an easily viewed status display to indicate print mode, image number, remaining film frames, printer operating status, and readily accessible controls for ''on/off,'' ''select'' (function and mode) and ''print.''
