Congratulations on purchasing your new Canon® S520 Color Bubble Jet™ Printer!
With your S520, you can print professional business documents in black and white or vivid color. Combined with Canon specialty media such as Canon High Resolution Paper (ideal for business documents that include large numbers of color illustrations), Canon Glossy Photo Paper or Canon Photo Paper Pro for Borderless Printing 4 x 6 (for digital photographs), and Canon Transparencies (for presentations), your documents and photos will make a lasting impression!
Canon offers a full range of specialty media that can be used with your S520 printer, as listed in “Specialty Media” on page 3.
With your S520 you can also print borderless photographs or banners. And you can use the duplex feature to print documents on both sides of your paper or to create booklets that are ready to be assembled and stapled as soon as they come off the printer!
Your Setup Software and User’s Guide CD-ROM also includes PhotoRecord and other fun and useful photo application utilities for organizing, viewing and manipulating digital photos and graphic images.

What Is a Printer Driver?
What Is a Printer Driver?
What Is a Printer Driver? What Is a Printer Driver?
Most computers require special software to link the software applications you use to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a printer driver, converts information from the application into a format that the printer can understand. The Canon S520 printer driver also provides other features, such as monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.

Do not use the following types of media with your S520 as they could produce poor quality print images, or jam or damage the printer:
Paper that is folded, excessively curled, wrinkled or wrapped
Handle media carefully by its edges. Dirt or fingerprints on the print surface will adversely affect print quality. For instructions on loading and handling specialty media, see the instructions that come with that media type.
Damp paper
Excessively thin or thick paper (less than 17 lb. or more than 28 lb.)
Picture postcards or postcards with pasted photos or stickers
Sealed envelopes, or envelopes with overlapping or self-sealing flaps

The S520 can print on paper ranging from standard copier paper (usually 17–28 lb.) to Canon specialty media paper and envelopes.
The paper thickness lever is located inside the front cover, on the printhead holder. It controls the paper feed for the type and weight of the media on which you are printing.
Use the chart on the next page to ensure that the paper thickness lever is set correctly for the type of Canon media you are using.
