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.

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.
