Preparing the Printer and Printing

Follow these steps to load the paper and the ink cassettes in the printer and print.

  1. Turn the printer on.

    • Hold down the power button until the STATUS lamp starts blinking in white. Wait until the lamp remains lit.

  2. Load paper.

    • Slide the open lever to release the lock, and open the paper compartment cover.
    • Raise the paper guides.
    • Do not raise the paper guides when loading square format paper.
    • Load the paper (up to 10 sheets) with the printing surface (without the Canon logo) face-down, being careful not to touch the printing surface.
    • Align the paper with the circled parts, not against the back of the compartment.
    • Close the paper compartment cover.

  3. Load the ink cassette.

    • Open the ink cassette compartment cover.
    • With the new ink cassette correctly oriented, insert it in the printer until it clicks into place.
    • Use a suitable ink cassette for the size of paper loaded.

  4. Scan the QR code to connect to the printer and register it.

    • Following the SELPHY Photo Layout instructions, scan the QR code to connect to the printer and register it.
    • Close the ink cassette compartment cover.

  5. Print.

    • Print from SELPHY Photo Layout.
    • Remove the printouts after printing is finished.

  6. Turn the printer off.

    • After use, hold down the power button until the STATUS lamp turns off.

Caution

  • Place the printer on a table or other flat, stable surface. Never place the printer on an unstable or tilted surface.
  • Leave space for printouts by the delivery outlet.
  • The QR code label will be required if you need to register the printer again—for example, if you switch smartphones. Keep a record by taking a photo of it with a smartphone camera or other device.

Note

  • If the ink sheet is loose, turn the sprocket gently to tighten it. Do not touch the ink sheet (1).
