Getting Started
Preparations for printing images. A Postcard size (4 x 6 in.) Color Ink Cassette/Paper Set (sold separately)
(p. 2) will be used as an example; however, preparation is the same for other sizes.
Take care not to get any dust on the paper since it may cause lines on the printed photos or damage the printer (p. 5).
Preparing the Ink Cassette
Check the ink cassette and ink sheet.
Ink sheet
O Hold the ink cassette without touching the ink sheet
and check if the size of the paper you are going to
print matches the paper size shown on the ink cassette
(Postcard (4x6in) Size), Card Size, etc.).
O Check that the ink sheet is taut with no slack. If the
ink sheet is slack, turn the sprocket as shown in the
illustration to tighten it, otherwise the ink sheet may be
torn when it is inserted into SELPHY.
O Take care not to touch the ink sheet, not to handle the ink cassette with wet hands, and not to
get any dust or dirt in the ink sheet. Dirt and water drops may cause lines on photos, poor print
quality, a tear in the ink sheet, or cause the printer to malfunction (p. 5).
O When tightening, turn the sprocket gently without force. Forcing it may cause a tear in the ink
sheet or the ink sheet will run out before completing a photo print, resulting in leftover paper.
O Do not reuse a spent ink cassette since this may damage the printer or cause malfunction.

Glossy side
Check the paper size.
O Check that the prepared ink cassette and the size shown
on the paper cassette (POSTCARD (4x6in), CARD SIZE,
etc.) match.
Open the lid.
O There are two layers of lids. Open the outer lid rst,
then open the inner lid .
Set the paper.
O Set the paper into the paper cassette that you prepared.
O You can place up to 18 sheets in the paper cassette.
Inserting 19 or more sheets may damage the printer or
cause malfunction.
O Hold the paper as shown in the illustration and load with
the glossy side up. (Do not touch the print side (glossy
side) of the paper with your ngers. This may prevent
you from making clean prints.)
O If a protective sheet is included with the paper, remove it
and set only the paper into the cassette.
O When making Postcard size prints that have an area for
pasting a stamp, insert the cards so that the stamp area
is faced as shown in the illustration.

Printing with L Size
8
Close the lid.
O Close the inner lid until it clicks into place. Leave the
outer lid open during printing.
O You can print in L size using PCPL-CP400 (sold
separately).
O You can also print in Postcard size by removing the
adapter as shown in the illustration.
O Use only dedicated paper included in the genuine Canon brand Color Ink Cassette/Paper Sets
COPY
for use in SELPHY CP series printers. Regular printing paper, regular postcards, or dedicated
paper for SELPHY ES series printers cannot be used.
O Never do the following. This may damage the printer or cause the printer to malfunction.
- reverse the paper (the glossy side is the print side)
- bend or separate the paper at the perforations before printing
- use label sheets that have begun to peel or label sheets with
portions peeled
- write on a sheet before printing
- reuse paper for printing on the blank part (p. 5).
O Do not touch the springs on the paper cassette.
If the springs are bent or deformed, paper will not feed correctly
into SELPHY.
O One spring is attached at the center of the top surface on card
sized paper cassettes.
O Take care not to touch or rub the print (the glossy) side of the
paper, not to handle the paper with wet hands, and not to get any
dust or dirt on the paper. Dirt and water drops may cause lines on
photos, poor print quality, or damage the printer (p. 5).
Spring
Attaching the Dust Protection Cover
By attaching the dust protection cover DPC-CP100, you can prevent dust or dirt from accumulating on the
paper. The dust protection cover may not be included in some regions. Purchase separately if required.
O Insert the dust protection cover as shown in the
illustration.
O In a place with a lot of dust or dirt, or outdoors, the dust protection cover may not be able to
prevent dust or dirt from accumulating on the paper, so take care to select a clean environment
when using SELPHY.
O Store the dust protection cover in a bag to prevent dust when not using.

Storing the Printed Photos
COPY
O When both edges of a print have perforations, you can remove the edges
by bending them.
O Use an oil-based pen to write on prints.
O To prevent discoloration, do not store prints in places subject to
temperatures of over 40 °C (104 °F), humid or dusty places, or in direct
sunlight.
O Avoid the following actions as they may result in color change, color
fading or color bleeding: Sticking any type of adhesive tape on a print
surface, allowing print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl or plastic,
applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to a print surface, or leaving the print surface tightly pressed
against other surfaces or objects for prolonged periods.
O If you wish to mount prints in an album, select an album with photo covers made of nylon, polypropylene
or cellophane.
O Color may change over time or depending on storage conditions. Canon assumes no liability for
color changes.
Cleaning Up After Printing
Turn off SELPHY (p. 11), then remove the memory card or USB ash memory.
Lower the screen (LCD monitor) at for storage.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect the adapter plug from SELPHY.
O If the compact power adapter is hot, wait until it has cooled down before you store it.
Remove the paper cassette and close the paper cassette compartment cover. Keep the remaining paper
inside the cassette and store the cassette in a dark, cool, and dry place free from dust.
O Keep the ink cassette inside SELPHY.
O Store SELPHY horizontally, in a dark place free from dust. Dust and dirt may cause white lines on
photos or damage the printer.
O When you have more than one ink cassette, keep one inside SELPHY, and keep the other inside
the original packaging or a bag to protect it from dust, and store it in a dark place.
O When storing new paper and ink cassettes, leave them in unopened packages, and keep them in
a dark place.
Maintaining the Printer
To prevent dust and dirt from causing lines on photos and to ensure the print quality, clean SELPHY regularly
using the supplied cleaner unit (p. 2) before printing and when changing the ink cassette. Note that the
cleaning unit may not be included in some regions.
Cleaning SELPHY.
O Remove the ink cassette if it is inserted.
O Insert the cleaner unit with the arrow side up as shown
fully and then pull out. Repeat this several times.
O Store the cleaner unit in a bag to prevent dust after
cleaning.
O Do not touch the white part of the cleaner unit as it will not clean as effectively.
O Do not use any cleaning kits other than the supplied cleaner unit. Doing so may cause the printer
to malfunction.
O If lines still appear on photos after cleaning, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
