Printing from AirPrint Compliant Device

This document explains how to use AirPrint to print wirelessly from your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch to a

Canon printer.

AirPrint enables you to print photos, email, Web pages and documents from your Apple device directly to

your printer without installing a driver.

Checking Your Environment

First, check your environment.

• AirPrint Operation Environment

To use AirPrint, you will need one of the following Apple devices running the latest version of iOS:

◦ iPad (all models)

◦ iPhone (3GS or later)

◦ iPod touch (3rd generation or later)

• Network Environment

The Apple device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch) and this machine must be connected to the same Wi-

Fi network.

Printing with AirPrint

1. Check that this machine is turned on and is connected to the LAN.

2. From the app of your Apple device, tap the operation icon to display the menu options.

Page 28

From the menu options, tap Print.

4. From Printer Options, select the model that you are using.

Important

•

Because some app does not support AirPrint, Printer Options may not be displayed. If an app

does not let you use printer options, you cannot print from that app.

Note

•

The printer options differ depending on the app and model you are using. Normally, when you

tap Print and select a model name, the displayed printer options will include up to the following

four options:

•

Printer: Select a model that can be used in your wireless LAN.

Page 29

• Copies: Select the number of print copies.

• Duplex Printing: If the model supports duplex printing, you can select On or Off.

Tap the Print.

When you execute printing, the printer prints according to the specified settings.

Paper Size

With AirPrint, the paper size is selected automatically according to the app being used on the Apple

device and the region in which AirPrint is used.

When Apple's photo app is used, the default paper size is L size in Japan, and 4"x6" or KG in other

countries and regions.

When documents are printed from Apple's Safari app, the default paper size is letter size in the U.S.

region, and A4 in Japan and Europe.

Important

• Your app may support different paper sizes.

Checking the Print Status

During printing, a Print icon is displayed in the list of recently used app, and you can use it to check the

print progress.

To display the list of latest used app, press the Home button on the Apple device twice. The Print icon is

displayed at the bottom of the Home screen.

Safety Precautions

Choosing a location

• Do not install the machine in a location that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration.

• Do not install the machine in locations that are very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, outdoors, or

close to a heating source.

To avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks, use the machine under the operating environment specified

in the On-screen Manual.

• Do not place the machine on a thick rug or carpet.

• Do not place the machine with its back attached to the wall.

Power supply

• Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the

power cord if necessary.

• Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.

Pulling the cord may damage the power cord, leading to possible fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use an extension lead/cord.

Working around the machine

• Never put your hands or fingers in the machine while it is printing.

• When moving the machine, carry the machine at both ends. In case the machine weighs more than

14 kg, it is recommended to have two people lifting the machine. Accidental dropping of the machine

causes injury. For the machine's weight, refer to the On-screen Manual.

• Do not place any object on the machine. Especially do not place metal objects (paper clips, staples,

etc.) or containers of flammable solvents (alcohol, thinners, etc.) on top of the machine.

• Do not transport or use the machine on a slant, vertically or upside-down, as the ink may leak and

damage the machine.

Working around the machine (For the multifunction printer)

• When loading a thick book on the Platen Glass, do not press hard on the Document Cover. The

Platen Glass may break and cause injury.

Print Heads/ink tanks and FINE Cartridges

• Keep ink tanks out of the reach of children. In case ink* is accidentally licked or swallowed, rinse out

mouth or give one or two glasses of water to drink. If irritation or discomfort occurs, obtain medical

advice immediately.

* Clear Ink contains nitrate salts (For models containing Clear Ink).

• In case ink gets in contact with eyes, rinse with water immediately. In case ink gets in contact with

skin, wash with soap and water immediately. If irritation to eyes or skin persists, obtain medical advice

immediately.

• Never touch the electrical contacts on a Print Head or FINE Cartridges after printing.

The metal parts may be very hot and could cause burns.

• Do not throw ink tanks and FINE Cartridges into fire.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the Print Head, ink tanks, and FINE Cartridges.

Environmental Information

Reducing your environmental impact while saving money

Power Consumption and Activation Time

The amount of electricity a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This product is

designed and set in a way to allow you to reduce your electricity costs. After the last print it switches to

Ready Mode. In this mode it can print again immediately if required. If the product is not used for a time,

the device switches to its Power Save Mode. The devices consume less power (Watt) in these modes.

If you wish to set a longer Activation Time or would like to completely deactivate the Power Save Mode,

please consider that this device may then only switch to a lower energy level after a longer period of

time or not at all.

Canon does not recommend extending the Activation Times from the optimum ones set as default.

Energy Star

The Energy Star® programme is a voluntary scheme to promote the development and purchase of

energy efficient models, which help to minimise environmental impact.

Products which meet the stringent requirements of the Energy Star® programme for both environmental

benefits and the amount of energy consumption will carry the Energy Star® logo accordingly.

Paper types

This product can be used to print on both recycled and virgin paper (certified to an environmental

stewardship scheme), which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. In addition it can

support printing on media down to a weight of 64g/m2, lighter paper means less resources used and a

lower environmental footprint for your printing needs.

Loading Plain Paper / Photo Paper

You can load plain paper or photo paper.

Important

• If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm) or 5" x 7" (13 x 18 cm) to perform trial

print, it can cause paper jams.

For the page size and paper weight you can use for this printer, see Media Types You Can Use.

Prepare paper.

Align the edges of paper. If paper is curled, flatten it.

Note

• Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may

cause paper jams.

• If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the

paper becomes completely flat.

For details on how to flatten curled paper, see "Load the paper after correcting its curl." in Paper Is

Smudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched.

•

When using Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss SG-201, even if the sheet is curled, load one sheet at a

time as it is. If you roll up this paper to flatten, this may cause cracks on the surface of the paper

and reduce the print quality.
