Turning The Machine ON/OFF
Press [ON/OFF] to turn the machine ON and OFF. Before turning ON the machine,
1
make sure the Document Cover is closed.
Important
Note
z Always press [ON/OFF] before disconnecting the power cord. This
ensures the FINE Cartridge is covered to prevent it from drying out.
z If the machine is not used for an extended period of time, we
recommend making black & white and color prints/copies or performing FINE Cartridge cleaning about once every month to prevent degradation of the FINE Cartridge. (See page 78)
z The FINE Cartridge has many nozzles in order to produce high-
definition prints. In the same way that the tip of a felt-tip or marker pen will naturally dry out over time and become unusable even with the cap in place, the nozzles might become clogged. Periodically printing or performing FINE Cartridge cleaning can help to prevent this kind of clogging.
z The power cannot be turned OFF with [ON/OFF] while the machine is
operating.
z Your machine performs a FINE Cartridge cleaning every time you plug
in the machine. This ensures optimum print quality but also consumes a small amount of ink during the cleaning process. We recommend turning OFF the power with [ON/OFF].

Do not use:
z Folded, creased, curled, or wrinkled paper
z Envelopes with double flaps, or with pressure seals
z Moist paper
z Paper with holes (e.g. punched holes)
z Very thin paper (less than 17 lb. or 64 g/m
z Very thick paper (more than 28 lb. or 105 g/m
z Postcards with photographs or stickers adhered to them
z Envelopes made with embossed or treated surfaces
Handling Paper
z Hold the paper as close as possible to its edges and try not to touch the print surface. The
print quality will deteriorate if the print surface is damaged or becomes dirty.
z Do not touch the print surface until the ink has dried.
z Some paper may curl and the print surface may smudge if you have used a large amount of
ink for printing. Paper that tends to curl is not recommended for printing photographs or graphics. Use it for printing mainly text.
z If the paper is curled, uncurl (flatten) it before printing.
z Place the paper back into its packet when not using it, and store out of direct sunlight in a
place where the temperature and humidity are low.
z If the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat,
ink may blur.

z About “Layout” and “Trimming”
For “Layout”, when the “Default setting” (selections based on the machine setting) is selected, the machine operates based on the bordered/borderless setting specified in the Memory card mode of the machine (MP180) or the Fit-to-Page setting when Photo Paper is selected on the Operation Panel of the machine (MP160). Trimming is performed based on settings on the PictBridge-compliant device.
Note
z When printing onto Photo Stickers (PS-101) (16-up), use the following
settings.
1. Load Photo Stickers (PS-101) in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
2. Select “10 x 15 cm / 4" x 6"” for the “Page size”, and “Photo” for the “Media type”.
3. Select “N-up” for layout, then select “16”.
z Some PictBridge compliant devices display the Layout option; 2-up, 4-
up, 9-up, and 16-up. In this case always select “16-up”. If there are no options on the PictBridge compliant device that correspond to 2-up, 4­up, 9-up, or 16-up, printing on stickers is not possible.
z When you are using Photo Stickers (PS-101), do not set “Borderless
Printing” in “Layout” settings.
z About “Image optimize”
When “Default setting” (selections based on the machine setting) is selected, the machine operates based on the <IMAGE ENHANCEMENT> settings mode using the controls of the machine (MP180).
If you use a Canon PictBridge-compliant device, you can select “VIVID”, “NR”, “VIVID+NR” or “FACE”.
(Note that these options cannot be selected for some models.)
Note
z When “VIVID” is selected, the green and blue portions of photos are
printed more vividly.
z When “NR” (Noise Reduction) is selected, noise in blue portions, such
as the sky, and dark portions is removed.
z When “VIVID+NR” is selected, functions of both “VIVID” and “NR” are
performed.
z When “FACE” is selected, a darkened face on the photo taken against
the light is brightened.
z About “Date/File No. print”
By default, “Off” is selected for this machine. If you select an image which has had the shooting date embedded in it using a camera with
the print mode, select “Off” for this function. If you select “Date”, “File No.”, or “Both”, the date and/or file number will be printed over the embedded date (MP180).

Replacing A FINE Cartridge
If there is no improvement with the quality of printing following such maintenance as FINE Cartridge Cleaning, one of the FINE Cartridges is probably empty. Replace the empty FINE Cartridge with a new one. When replacing a FINE Cartridge, check the model number very carefully.
The machine will not print properly if the wrong FINE Cartridge is used, or installed incorrectly.
Black: PG-40 Black Color: CL-41 Color
The FINE Cartridge PG-50 Black (High Yield) and CL-51 Color (High Yield) are also compatible with this machine.
Replacing A FINE Cartridge
When a FINE Cartridge runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.
1 Ensure that the machine is turned ON, and then open the Scanning Unit.
The FINE Cartridge Holder moves to the left.
Pull the Scanning Unit Support down into place.

Note
Important
If the straight line is misaligned or the FINE Cartridge position is misaligned, align the FINE Cartridge position.
See “Aligning The FINE Cartridge” on page 79.
z To maintain optimal print quality, we recommend that you use Canon
brand FINE Cartridge. Replenishing ink only is also not recommended.
z Replace the FINE Cartridge promptly. Do not leave with the FINE
Cartridge removed.
z When a FINE Cartridge runs out of ink, replace the FINE Cartridge
with a new one immediately. If you replace it with the FINE Cartridge that has previously been removed, the machine may not print properly due to clogged FINE Cartridge nozzles. Furthermore, the Low Ink Warning dialog box which advises when to exchange the FINE Cartridge will be inaccurate.
z To maintain optimal print quality, use up all the ink in the FINE
Cartridge within six months of its first use (We recommend that you note the date that the FINE Cartridge was installed in the machine).
z Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or
grayscale printing is specified. Color ink is consumed during Cartridge cleaning, which is necessary to
maintain the machine's capabilities.

Knowing When To Replace A FINE Cartridge
It is important to identify the empty Cartridge using the LCD/LED and replace it.
Note
Should missing characters or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see “When Printing Becomes Faint Or Color Is Incorrect” on page 75.
z When Ink is Low
<BLACK INK LOW> or <COLOR INK LOW> appears on the LCD (MP180) / the Black/Color Ink Lamp lights (MP160) when ink becomes low. Obtain a replacement tank as soon as possible.
z When Ink is Empty
<CHECK INK> appears on the LCD (MP180) / <E> and <4> appear alternately on the LED (MP160) when ink becomes empty during printing.
Printing will resume as soon as the FINE Cartridge is replaced and the Scanning Unit is closed.
z Press [Stop/Reset] to cancel the current print job.
z Press [OK] (MP180) / [Black] or [Color] (MP160) to resume printing with an empty FINE
Cartridge. When printing is finished, replace the FINE Cartridge immediately. If you continue printing with an empty FINE Cartridge, it will be a cause of trouble.
* Be sure to press [OK] (MP180) / [Black] or [Color] (MP160) with all the FINE Cartridges
installed. Printing does not resume if any of the FINE Cartridges are left uninstalled.
* If you continue to print with an empty FINE Cartridge, the ink level will not be detected
correctly.
z Checking the Ink Level (MP180)
You can check the current ink level by pressing [COPY], [SCAN] or [MEMORY CARD]. The LCD will display the ink level for a few seconds.
Ex:

Page 74
What Is A Low Ink Warning?
The Low Ink Warning is the ink counter calculating the remaining level of ink and advising you that the FINE Cartridges are running out of ink during printing.
The ink counter assumes the ink is full when a new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts the remaining level of ink. In this instance, if an old FINE Cartridge is installed, a message that the remaining level of ink cannot be detected appears.
Note
z When the “!” mark appears on the Low Ink Warning
The ink level of the FINE Cartridge showing the “!” mark is low. You should ensure you have a new FINE Cartridge.
How to Check the Ink Level
Open the [Printer Properties] dialog box. Click the [Maintenance] tab and then click [View Printer Status].
Canon IJ Status Monitor appears. It also appears automatically during printing.
Open the [Canon IJ Printer Utility] dialog box, and then select [Ink Level Information] from the pop-up menu.

z When the “?” mark appears on the Low Ink Warning
If you install an old FINE Cartridge, the “?” icon appears for the FINE Cartridge in question. In this case, the remaining level of ink cannot be calculated correctly. We recommend that you replace the FINE Cartridge with a new one.
If you try printing when “?” mark appears, the following message appears and printing stops.
In either case, clicking [OK] cancels the error indication and enables continuation of printing. However, the error detection function is disabled after the error indication is canceled, therefore, Low Ink Warning message does not appear later on. When you install a new FINE Cartridge, the Low Ink Warning is enabled automatically.

Cannot Print Properly From The Digital Camera
The following are the possible errors that may occur when printing directly from a digital still camera or digital video camcorder*, and the countermeasures to eliminate them.
*Hereafter, the digital still camera and digital video camcorder are collectively called a digital camera or camera.
Note
z PictBridge compatible digital cameras can be connected to your machine for
direct printing.
z This section describes errors that are indicated on Canon-brand PictBridge-
compatible cameras. The error messages and operations may vary depending on the camera you are using. If you are using a non-Canon PictBridge compatible camera and not sure how to clear the error from the camera, confirm the message displayed on the LCD of the machine and clear the error. For clearing an error from the machine, see “An Error Message Is Displayed On The LCD/LED” on page 86.
z A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too
much time to send data. This may stop printing. In such cases, disconnect the cable between the machine and the camera, and reconnect the cable between the machine and the camera. Then, turn the camera on, if it does not automatically turn on. If the problem is still unresolved, select some other photo and check if it can be printed.
z Your PictBridge compatible device may need to be switched to printing mode
before it is connected to the machine, depending on the model of the device. Also, it may need to be turned on manually or switched to replay mode after connected to the machine. Refer to the instruction manuals supplied with your camera and take the necessary steps before connection.
z The FINE Cartridge nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or
colors are incorrect. See “When Printing Becomes Faint Or Color Is Incorrect” on page 75.
z If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure that
you are using the correct type of paper.
z For the errors indicated on the camera and their solution, also refer to the
user’s manual of the camera. For other troubles with a digital camera, contact the manufacturer of the camera.
