Do not rest objects on the equipment.

z

Do not reach into internal parts of the equipment except as specified in the operating
instructions.

Such conditions could lead to injury, fire, electric shock or other damage.

z

Unplug the equipment when you are not using it.

Leaving the equipment plugged in during prolonged periods of non-use poses risk of electric
shock or fire.

z

Do not open the cartridge cover during printing.

• If you do so, printing will stop.

• Paper moves back and forth in the printer during printing. Placing your hand in the way
of moving paper may result in injury.

Power

z

Do not move the equipment while it is plugged in.

z

Do not excessively bend or twist the power cord.

z

Do not pull on the power cord.

Doing so may damage the power cord. Continued use of a damaged cord poses risk of fire,
electric shock or equipment failure.

11

Usage Location

z

Do not use the equipment in locations that are smoky, humid, dusty, or subject to strong
vibration.

z

Do not leave the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or close to heating
equipment, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.

The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or
other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.

z

Do not use the equipment near an open flame.

Sheets ejected from the print receptacle cover may fall into the flame, resulting in fire.

z

Do not use the equipment close to TV sets or AM radios.

Operation of the equipment may adversely affect TV and radio reception.

12

Proper Usage and Handling

Usage Location

z

Leave about 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the equipment and 10 cm
(4 in.) of clearance on both sides.

Be sure to leave clearance around the paper-handling slot (at the front) so that paper has
sufficient room to extend out from the slot during printing.

z

Do not use near strong magnets or near devices that produce strong electromagnetic
fields.

Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as TVs and game machines, and strong
magnetic fields from devices such as speakers and large motors, may cause distortion in
printed images.

When Not In Use

z

Be sure to close the print receptacle cover.

If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer, print quality may deteriorate.

z

Unplug the power cord from the outlet. If using the battery pack, remove it.

But please note that you should plug in and run the printer at least once every six months
to ensure that it remains functional.

When Planning Not to Use for an Extended Period

z

When the printer is not in use, please remove the cartridge from the printer and store it.

Return the cartridge to its original bag and package. Store the package horizontally.

Before Transporting

z

Close the print receptacle cover.

If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer, print quality may deteriorate.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

z

You can avoid condensation by placing the equipment (printer, cartridge) in an airtight,
resealable plastic bag and letting the equipment adjust to temperature changes slowly
before removing the equipment from the bag.

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form on the external and internal surfaces of the
equipment.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Printer

z

Stop using the printer immediately.

Continued use may damage the equipment.
Wait until the water droplets have evaporated completely before resuming use.

13

Printer

z

Please avoid turning the printer’s power on and off needlessly as the printer
initialization consumes ink.

There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the set.

z

Never use volatile compounds or insecticides on the printer, and do not allow rubber or
vinyl material to remain in prolonged contact with the printer.

These materials may cause deformation of the printer’s casing.

z

If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. This does not mean that the
printer has malfunctioned.

The printer will resume normal printing as soon as it cools down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur in the following cases:

• When printing continuously.

• If the room is unusually warm.

• If the air vents on the back of the printer are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.

z

Lower the carrying handle when printing. If the prints touch the carrying handle then
printing may not be done correctly.

z

If the print receptacle cover comes off, insert the
shaft on the right side of the cover into the
printer ( ) and then align the tip of the spring
on the left side of the cover with the groove on
the printer ( ). If the print receptacle cover is
not attached during printing, paper that is
finished printing may get jammed inside the
printer.

If you do so, printing will stop and the paper currently being printed will not be completely
printed.

Cartridge

z

Please use only the cartridge type specified for use by Canon.

z

Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet.

There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the set.

z

Do not handle the cartridge with wet or sweaty hands.

z

Do not apply excessive force to the cartridge.

14

z

Do not remove the protective paper from the cartridge or do not press down hard on the
paper.

Force or impact on the paper may result in paper jams or equipment damage.

Paper

z

Do not touch the paper while it is being printed.

During printing, the sheet repeatedly moves back and forth along the top of the print
receptacle and in and out through the paper-handling slot. Please do not touch the sheet
during this process as this could damage the printer.

z

Do not allow too many sheets to accumulate in the print receptacle during printing.

Do not allow more than 50 sheets to accumulate in the print receptacle.

Prints

z

Please avoid the following actions as they may result in color change, color fading or
color bleeding.

• Sticking any type of adhesive tape onto the print surface.

• Allowing print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl materials.

• Applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to the print surface.

• Leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against any other surfaces or objects for prolonged periods.

z

If you wish to mount prints into an album, select an album with nylon-based sleeves, or
with propylene or cellophane sleeves.

Other types of sleeves may cause color loss or color bleeding.

z

To avoid print quality deterioration, do not store your prints in the following types of
locations.

• Locations that reach temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

• Humid or dusty locations

• Locations exposed to direct sunlight.

z

Color change may occur over time in accordance with conditions of storage. Canon
assumes no liability for color changes.

Connecting to a Non-Canon Digital Camera for Printing

Since the SELPHY ES1 printers support the direct print PictBridge* standard, you can
connect PictBridge compliant non-Canon digital cameras to easily print high quality
photos.

*PictBridge: PictBridge is an industry standard for direct printing that allows you to print images

without using a computer by directly connecting a digital camera or digital camcorder
(hereafter “camera”) to a printer, regardless of their brands and models.



Before Using the Printer

Please read carefully the user guide that came with your camera and make sure that:

z

The camera is PictBridge compliant.

z

You are using the retractable USB cable or the USB cable for the camera/computer connection
to connect the printer to the camera.

z

The camera’s communication settings are configured correctly.

z

You set the print settings with the camera.

*

For details, refer to the camera’s user guide.

*

*



Connecting the Camera

Connect the retractable USB cable to the camera’s terminal. If the connector on the
camera side does not match up, insert one end of the USB cable included with your
camera in the printer’s direct print port or USB port (p. 17) and insert the other end in the
camera’s terminal. For details, refer to the camera’s user guide.

z

The printer’s power button blinks green several times once the printer and camera are correctly
connected. The power button lights steadily green once it is ready to print.

z

If a problem occurs during a connection or during printing, the printer’s power button lights or
blinks red. If this happens, the error message that appears on the camera’s LCD monitor may
differ according to your camera model.

Printing speed may differ according to your camera model and the image’s number of
recorded pixels. (The value written on page 73 is a printing speed obtained when printing
with a Canon camera.)



Disconnect the camera

Before you disconnect the camera from the printer, turn off the printer by holding down
the power button until the green indicator goes out.

Notes about connection

Before connecting the printer to a computer, make sure that a memory card is not
inserted into the printer and that the printer is not connected to a camera.

z

The printer may not function properly.

When using the USB cable, be sure to connect the printer directly to your
computer.

z

If you connect the USB cable to a USB hub, the printer may not function
properly.

Do not use other USB devices (with the exception of a USB mouse or USB
keyboard) at the same time as the printer. The printer may not function properly.

z

Disconnect the other USB devices from your computer and then reconnect the
printer.

Do not connect two or more compact photo printers to the same computer via the
USB interface at the same time.

z

The printers may not function properly.

For Windows, when connecting the printer to your computer, we recommend that
you connect it to the same USB port you used to install the printer driver.

z

If you connect the printer to a different USB port, Windows may create a copy
of the printer driver. This depends on your Windows version and the printer
driver, and does not affect the operation of the printer.

shortcut menu.

3. Restart your computer. Connect the printer to the USB port you used to install
the printer driver.

z

Do not put your computer into the standby mode (or sleep mode) while the printer is
connected to a USB port.

z

If you accidentally do so, do not disconnect the USB cable from your computer while it is in
the standby mode; instead, leaving the USB cable connected, first return your computer to
its normal mode. If you remove the USB cable while your computer is in the standby
mode, your computer may not be able to return to its normal mode. For details on your
computer’s standby mode, refer to the documentation provided with your computer.

Handling of the Battery Pack (Sold Separately)

Checking the Battery Status

z

The following icons and messages are displayed.

Indication Description

There is sufficient battery power.

To use the printer for a long time, either use fully charged batteries
or charge the battery as soon as possible.

Battery power is low. We recommend recharging the battery pack.

(Blinking red) Operations other than printing are possible.

Recharge the

printer battery

Change it with a fully charged battery pack or recharge the battery
pack immediately. You can also use the printer’s compact power
adapter.

The AC adapter is connected.

Proper Usage and Handling

z

If the battery power is low, the finished print may not be ejected into the print receptacle
completely.

If this happens, turn the power off then on again. Paper is automatically output to the print
receptacle.

z

At low temperatures, battery performance is sometimes reduced and the low battery
power icon ( , ) may be displayed earlier than usual.

Battery performance can be recovered by putting the battery pack in your pocket, for
example, to warm it up before use.

z

When warming up the battery pack, do not put key holders or other metal objects in your
pocket.

These may cause the battery pack to short-circuit.

64

z

Do not allow key holders or other metal

Figure A

Figure B

objects to contact (i.e. short-circuit) the “ ”
and “ ” terminals of the battery (Figure A).
When carrying the battery pack or when the
battery pack is not used, be sure to attach the
terminal cover (Figure B).

Otherwise, the battery pack might become
damaged.

z

When storing a battery pack, you are recommended to use it in the printer until it is
completely discharged and to store it in an indoor location with low relative humidity

-

and between the temperatures of 0

Storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year) can shorten its
lifecycle or affect performance. If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time,
charge it fully and discharge it fully in the printer at least once a year before returning it to
storage.

30 °C (32 - 86 °F).

Charging the Battery Pack

z

This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or discharge it
before recharging.

It can be charged at any charge state.

z

It takes approximately 2 hours 55 minutes to bring a depleted battery pack to a full
charge state (based on standard Canon testing criteria).

• We recommend recharging the battery pack in a temperature of 5 - 40 °C (41 ­104 °

F

).

• The charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and charge state.

z

You are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a
full charge.

Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally.

z

If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully charged, it
should be replaced.

Cleaning the Printer



Cleaning Inside the Printer

If faint stripes appear in the printed image, a probable cause is that dust has
accumulated inside the printer. Remove any dust using the cleaner unit included with
your printer.

Remove the cartridge.

1

Insert the cleaner unit in the

2

direction of the arrow and with
the arrow on the cleaner unit
facing up. Push it in completely
and slide it in and out of the
printer 2 or 3 times.



Cleaning the Printer Casing

Wipe the casing with a soft dry cloth. If stronger cleaning is required, wipe first with a
cloth moistened with a diluted neutral solvent, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. If you
use a chemical cleaning cloth, read the instructions that come with it and observe all
indicated precautions.

Never use benzine, paint thinner, or other volatile solvents to clean the printer. Volatile
solvents may cause deformation or peeling of the printer’s casing.



Cleaning the Back of the Printer

Keep the air vents clean and free of dust. Clean the vents as necessary. Dust that enters
the printer through the vents may land on the ink sheet, resulting in poor print quality.
If the ink sheet becomes dusty, remove the cartridge and replace it with a new one.
