Setting Up SELPHY

Place SELPHY on a stable and even surface,



10 cm (4 in.) or more

COPY

10 cm (4 in.) or more

Length of the paper or more

Never place SELPHY close to motors or other devices that generate strong electromagnetic elds.



This may damage or cause the printer to malfunction. Do not place near television or radio. This may cause the printer to malfunction.



The LCD monitor may be covered with a thin plastic lm for protection against scratches during shipment. If so, remove the lm before using SELPHY.

such as a table. Never place it on an unstable or tilted surface. Keep SELPHY at least 1 m (3 ft.) from devices



emitting electromagnetic waves or strong

magnetic elds.

Make sure there is at least 10 cm (4 in.) of free



space around SELPHY. Make sure there is free space of at least the



length of the paper behind SELPHY. (During printing the paper will pass in and out.)

Getting Started

This section will prepare you to start printing images. The Postcard size Ink Cassette/ Paper Set (sold separately) (p. 5) will be used as an example. However, in places where the operation differs for other paper sizes, an explanation will be given.

Preparing the Ink Cassette

Check the ink cassette

Check that the paper size and the size shown on



the ink cassette (Card Size, Postcard Size etc.) match. Check that the ink sheet is taut with no slack. If



the ink sheet is slack, push and turn the sprocket as shown in the illustration.

Ink sheet

Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet. Do not touch the ink cassette with wet or sweaty hands. You may not be able to print if the ink sheet is damaged, dirty or wet.

Preparing the Paper Cassette

Check the paper size.

Check that the prepared ink cassette and the



size shown on the paper cassette (Card Size, Postcard Size, etc.) match.

COPY

Open the lid.

There are two steps to open the lid. Open the



outer lid À rst, then open the inner lid Á. For Wide size paper cassettes (sold separately),



open the outer lid rst, then slide the inner lid in

the direction of the arrow to open it.

ShinSShiny side

Set the paper.

Set the paper into the paper cassette that you



prepared in Step 1. You can place up to 18 sheets in the paper



cassette (up to 12 for Wide size). Inserting 19 or more sheets (13 or more for Wide size) may damage the printer or cause malfunction. Hold the paper stack as shown in the illustration,



with the shiny side facing up. Do not touch the print side (shiny side) of the paper with your

ngers. Doing so may prevent you from making

clean prints. When a protective sheet is present, remove it



and only set the paper stack into the cassette.

When making postcard size prints that have a



section for pasting a stamp, insert the paper so that the stamp section is facing the inner lid (as shown in the illustration).

Close the lid.

Close the inner lid until it clicks into place.



Leave the outer lid open during printing. For Wide size paper cassette (sold separately),



close the inner lid rst, then slide the inner lid

until it clicks to the opposite direction of the arrow.

COPY

Always use the paper specic to SELPHY CP series printers included in the genuine Canon brand



Ink Cassette/Paper Sets. Use only dedicated paper. Regular printing paper, regular postcards, or

paper specied for use in SELPHY ES series printers cannot be used.

Never do the following, as it may lead to failure or cause the printer to malfunction:



- mistakenly reversing the paper (the shiny side is the print side)

- bending or separating the paper at the perforations before printing

- using label sheets that have begun to peel or label sheets with portions peeled back

- writing on a sheet before printing

- printing on already printed paper

- reusing a spent ink cassette

Do not touch the springs of the paper cassette.



If the springs are bent or deformed, paper will not feed correctly into SELPHY. Do not touch the print surface (shiny side), scratch it or touch



the paper with wet hands. Prints will not be desirable if the print surface becomes dirty or wet.
