Printing

This section describes how to print with Easy-PhotoPrint, PhotoRecord, and
PhotoStitch. These software applications are included on the Canon CP
Printer Solution Disk. They simplify the printing process.

Before printing, verify that the printer is on, and that the printer is properly
connected to your computer with a USB cable.

• Printers and computer displays use different color reproduction methods,
and lighting conditions and display settings affect the appearance of
colors on your computer’s display. Therefore, the colors in prints may
differ from what you see on the screen. This is not a printer problem.

• Do not change the spool settings. The status monitor may not function
correctly.

• For how to install the software, see the Printer User Guide.

• Camera information such as scene and photographic conditions are
embedded in images captured with cameras compatible with Exif 2.2
(referred to as Exif Print).

• Easy-PhotoPrint and PhotoRecord allow you to print clearer, better-
looking images, because they automatically optimize print quality (as the
default setting) for images captured with cameras that support Exif 2.2,
as well as other images.

• PhotoStitch enables you to merge multiple images to create a panoramic
image.

• PhotoRecord enables you to print with custom image layouts. This is
useful for creating greeting cards and so on.

If you stop printing while printing is in progress, paper is ejected to the

status.

You can continue to print.

Temporarily remove paper from the paper handling slot. Turn the

cassette’s ink sheet is used.
