The print date is not available because the camera clock has not been set. Set the camera clock.
Why is the date not imprinted on images even when Print date is enabled on my Nikon CoolPix S6300?
If the date is not imprinted on images even when Print date is enabled on your Nikon Digital Camera, the current shooting mode may not support Print date. Change the shooting mode. Also, note that the date cannot be imprinted on movies.
