Storing the Printed Photos

COPY
When both sides of a print have perforations, you can remove the edges
by bending them. Use an oil-based pen to write on prints.
To prevent discoloration, be sure to store the printed photos so that they
will be protected from humidity, dust, direct sunlight, and temperatures of over 40°C (104°F). Avoid actions that may result in color change, color fading or color
bleeding, such as the following: 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, leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against other surfaces or objects for prolonged periods. If you wish to mount prints in an album, choose an album with photo covers made of nylon,
polypropylene or cellophane.
Color may change over time or depending on storage conditions. Canon assumes no liability for
color changes.

Cleaning Up After Printing

After you nish printing, follow the steps below to clean up and store SELPHY.
Turn off the power (p. 9), remove the memory card, and close the card slot cover.
Removed the printed photos from the print output receptacle and close the print output receptacle
cover. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect the other end of the cord from
SELPHY. Remove the cartridge from SELPHY, and insert the cleaner unit.
Return the cartridge to its original package and store in a dark place where it will be protected from
dust.
If dust enters the printer or dust sticks to the cartridge, print quality may deteriorate.
Any unused Easy Photo Packs should be stored unopened in a dark place.

Handling Precautions

COPY
Do not apply excessive force to the printer. Force or impact on the printer may result in paper jams
or equipment damage. Be careful not to spray the equipment with insecticides or volatile substances. In addition, do not
store the equipment in contact with rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time. This may cause
alteration of the casing.
Depending on the room temperature, SELPHY may overheat and temporarily stop operating. This
is not a malfunction. SELPHY will resume normal printing as soon as it cools down. Temporary stoppages increase printing time and are most likely to occur when printing continuously, if a room is unusually warm, or if the air vents on the back of SELPHY are blocked and internal temperature
is high.
Avoid condensation on SELPHY when moving it from a cold to a hot place by putting it in an airtight,
sealable plastic bag and allow for adjustment to temperature changes gradually before removing from the bag. In the event that condensation does form within SELPHY, keep it at room temperature until the water droplets evaporate naturally before use. When SELPHY gets dirty, wipe the casing with a soft dry cloth.
If the air vents (p. 8) have become dusty, wipe the dust away. If dust gets in through the vents, the
printer may not print clearly.
Never wipe using volatile solvents such as benzine, paint thinner, or diluted neutral solvent. They may cause deformation or peeling of the casing.
Using the Cleaner Unit to Care for SELPHY
If you cannot make clean prints, remove dust on the printer head with the supplied cleaner unit.
1
Remove the cartridge (p.13).
2
Arrow side facing up
Do not touch white parts of the cleaner as its performance may be affected.
Only the cleaner supplied with this printer can be used.
Insert the cleaner unit in the cartridge
compartment and push it in completely
and slide it in and out 2 or 3 times.
