Some printers have the option to automatically include a date stamp.
When you print off photographs from your digital camera or images stored on your computer you may want to also include a date stamp for verification purposes. While you can edit the image to include a date stamp, there isn't any need to actually alter the original picture. Depending on your printer's manufacturer and model it may include an extra option to automatically print the date or time on the corner of the picture.
