Printing Precautions
These cautions apply to Printing from Memory Cards, Printing from a Camera, Wireless Printing,
and Printing from a Computer.
z Do not eject the Easy Photo Pack or open the cartridge cover right after turning the power on or
while printing. It may result in equipment damage.
z During the printing operation, paper is temporarily output from the printer. Do not touch the
paper until printing ends. This could impede printing, or may result in equipment damage.
z Do not allow 50 or more sheets to accumulate in the print output receptacle while printing.
z Do not close the print output receptacle cover when printing. If closed accidentally, press the
print output receptacle button to open the cover.
z If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. The printer will resume normal printing
as soon as it cools down (This will occur if the room is unusually warm or you are printing
continuously).
z Do not print on printed paper.

Correct Red-Eye
Depending on the image, red-eye may not be automatically detected or optimally corrected.
In the following examples red-eye may not be corrected.
- Faces that appear extremely small, large, dark or bright in relation to the overall image.
- Faces turned to the side or at a diagonal, or faces with a portion hidden.
Images that do not contain red-eye could have portions of the image other than the eyes
mistakenly corrected. Set [Correct Red-Eye] to [On] only when printing images with red-eye.
Image Optimize
Optimizes the color of the whole image automatically, particularly the color of the face when the
image contains a person, although it may not be corrected as you wish.

Make sure that the camera is PictBridge or Direct Print compliant.
Use the interface cable (USB cable) supplied with the camera to connect to the printer.

The power button lights steadily green once the printer is ready to print.
If an error occurs while connecting or printing, check the message displayed on the LCD
monitor of the printer or camera.
If the
icon is displayed on the LCD monitor of the camera, the black and white cartridge
(Easy Photo Pack E-P25BW) cannot be used.
Do not insert a memory card or connect a camera or computer to the printer when
wireless printing.
Infrared wireless printing from a mobile phone is not available if the gold or silver print
supporting cartridge (Easy Photo Pack E-P20G/E-P20S) is inserted.
You cannot print via wireless connection between the printer and a computer.
Only image data files up to approx. 3 MB can be sent (maximum data size varies
depending on the mobile phone).
Data transmission time increases when data size is large. Accordingly, it may take some
time before printing starts.
Movies, E-mails, phone directories, or image data, for example, downloaded from a URL
attached to an E-mail cannot be printed.
The printer may not be able to print images saved onto the memory card of certain
mobile phones.
The position and orientation (horizontal or vertical) of images for printing is set
automatically by the printer. Since images are enlarged or reduced to fit the paper size,
the edges of the image may be cropped with certain combinations of image and paper
sizes.
See the user guide of your mobile phone for information on how to use its wireless
functions.

Printing cannot be canceled by pressing
during Bluetooth printing.
For details on how to send or make Bluetooth connection, refer to the user guide of your
Bluetooth device.
Maximum communication distance is approx.10 m (33 ft.). However, the following conditions
sometimes cause this distance or printing speed to change:
- Obstacles or radio wave conditions between communication devices
- Sites where magnetic fields, static electricity or radio wave interference is generated
- Reception sensitivity and antenna performance of the communication devices
63
Make sure that no memory cards are inserted in the printer, or that no camera is
connected to the printer before connecting a computer.
When using the USB cable, be sure to connect the printer directly to your computer. If
you connect the USB cable to a USB hub, the printer may not function properly.
The printer may not function properly if other USB devices (with the exception of a USB
mouse or USB keyboard) are used at the same time as the printer. Disconnect any other
USB devices from your computer and then reconnect the printer.
Do not put your computer into the standby mode (or sleep mode) while the printer is
connected to a USB port. If you accidentally do so, do not disconnect the USB cable
from your computer while it is in standby mode.
Do not connect the computer to the printer before installing the printer driver. Follow the
instructions of this guide.
You must login to the computer as an administrator before beginning installation of the
printer driver and software.
For details on how to use the computer, refer to the user guide of your computer.

Handling Precautions
For the handling of memory cards, cameras, mobile phones, or computers, refer to the supplied
user guide of each product.
Warranty Limitations
This printer's warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a problem arises while the printer
is in use abroad, please convey it back to the country of sale before proceeding with a warranty
claim to a Canon Customer Support center.
Printer
Do not turn the printer on and off repeatedly when you do not intend to print.
The printer initialization process consumes ink and the equivalent of several pages could be
wasted.
Be careful not to spray the equipment with insecticides or volatile substances. In addition,
do not store the equipment in contact with rubber or vinyl products for long periods of
time.
These materials may cause deformation of the printer's casing.
If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. This does not mean that the
printer has malfunctioned.
The printer will resume normal printing as soon as it cools down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur in the following cases:
- When printing continuously.
- If a room is unusually warm.
- If the air vents on the back of the printer are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.
86
Appendix
Handling Precautions
If the print output receptacle cover comes off, tilt the cover to the LCD monitor side (
)
align the tip of the spring on the left side of the cover with the groove on the printer (
),
and then slide the hole on the right side of the cover over the peg on the printer (
).
If the print output receptacle cover is not attached during printing, paper that is finished printing
may become jammed inside the printer.
