An image capturing device includes a processor, at least one interface, and a memory. The memory is capable of storing a plurality of records. A record includes image storage data, date/time data, and status data. The processor determines whether any of the images in the memory have been archived as indicated by the status information in the status storage cell of the records, and replaces one or more archived images with newly captured images as the device is used.

Memory management in an image capturing device

The present disclosure relates to a method for sending digital images to a recipient using a sender printer. The method comprises receiving a digital camera memory card with the printer and sending an image stored within the memory card to the recipient across a network such that a hard copy of the sent image is automatically printed by a recipient device. In a preferred embodiment, the sender printer is Internet-enabled and the image is sent directly from the sender printer to the recipient device. By way of example, the recipient device can also comprise an Internet-enabled printer. In such an embodiment, printer-to-printer sending is possible.
