Loading Media into the S530D
Follow these instructions and tips for loading media into the printer.
•
To prevent paper jams, always fan the sheets and align the edges before you
load them into the printer.
•
Handle media carefully by its edges.
•
Never touch the print surface (the glossy or brighter white side of the sheets).
Dirt or fingerprints on the print surface will adversely affect print quality.
•
•
To prevent changes in color, never stack printed sheets after they have
been printed.
Cover printed sheets with one sheet of plain paper to protect the printed
•
surface, even if you intend to store them in clear plastic folders.
For more information on loading media, see the S530D User’s Guide on the Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM.

Caring for Your Photographs
The Canon S530D Photo Printer will generate spectacular results for printing
photographs, especially when used with Canon specialty media. All images are
susceptible to fading over time, but proper care of prints made from your S530D
Photo Printer will ensure that print quality lasts long into the future.
Many environmental factors can impact how long a printout will last before
noticeable image fading occurs. Exposure to sunlight or other light sources,
humidity, temperature, exposure to cigarette smoke and ozone are just some of
the factors that can impact image permanence. While many of these variables
cannot be controlled, there are basic measures that you can take to prolong
image quality:
•Use Canon Photo Paper Pro and genuine Canon inks. Try Canon Photo
Paper Pro or Canon Photo Paper Pro for Borderless Printing (4
Both papers are specifically designed to work with genuine Canon inks.
" x 6").
•Mount images under glass to reduce exposure to ozone, cigarette smoke and
other environmental factors that can degrade images.
•Keep printed images out of direct sunlight or other intense light sources.
