z Media Types You Cannot Use  
Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory  
results, but can also cause the machine to jam or malfunction. Additionally, when printing on A5  
or smaller sized paper, do not use paper thinner than a post card, including plain paper or  
notepad paper cut to a small size.  
z Folded, curled, or wrinkled paper  
z Damp paper  
z Paper that is too thin (weighing less than 17 lb / 64 gsm)  
z Paper that is too thick (non-Canon genuine paper weighing more than 28 lb / 105 gsm)

z Any type of paper with holes  
z Paper that is not rectangular  
z Paper bound with staples or glue  
z Paper with adhesives  
z Paper decorated with glitter, etc.  
z Photo Paper Pro Guidelines  
z Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approximately 30 minutes). Colors in dark  
images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approximately 30 minutes.  
z Images may become smudged if you place printouts in an album before the ink is completely  
dry. We recommend to allow the ink to dry for 24 hours before placing your printouts in an  
album.  
z Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.  
z Do not store or display printouts in hot or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or  
direct sunlight.  
z Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from  
direct exposure to air or sunlight.  
z Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them.  
Note that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to  
turn yellow.

Paper Source Selection Scenarios  
Deciding on the usage of the two paper sources to print with minimum reloading of paper  
depends mainly on the variety of the type of paper you use regularly.  
z If you print regularly on photo paper as well as on plain paper  
If you use photo paper as much as plain paper, you can load photo paper in the Auto Sheet  
Feeder and plain paper in the Cassette. This way, you can switch the paper source according  
to the type of paper just by pressing the Paper Feed Switch.  
You can also specify the type and size of paper to be fed from the Cassette using the printer  
driver. You can print more efficiently by specifying the type of paper you use regularly this  
way, since the paper source will be switched automatically to the Cassette for this paper.  
Note  
z Some types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and requires the use of the  
Auto Sheet Feeder. See “Paper Handling” on page 8. For details on loading paper, see  
“Loading Paper” on page 16.  
z For details on printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

(only in the Auto Sheet Feeder).  
Do not use paper heavier than this (except for supported Canon genuine paper), as it could jam  
in the machine.  
z You can load up to 150 sheets of plain paper (17 lb / 64 gsm, 0.52 inches / 13 mm in height).  
However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on  
the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and  
humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half (around  
0.2 inches / 5 mm in paper stack height).  
z Do not stack more than 50 sheets in the Paper Output Tray.  
When Printing on 5" x 7", 4" x 6", or 2.13" x 3.39" (Credit Card-sized) paper  
z Load 2.13" x 3.39" (credit card-sized) paper only in the Auto Sheet Feeder.  
z You can load up to 20 sheets of 4" x 6" or 2.13" x 3.39" (credit card-sized) paper and 10 sheets

Routine Maintenance  
51  
Replacing Ink Tanks  
When ink tanks run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.  
Important  
Handling Ink  
z To maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks.  
Refilling ink is not recommended.  
z Once you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks  
removed.  
z Replace empty tanks with new ones. Inserting partially used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to  
clog. Furthermore, with such tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace  
the tanks properly.  
z Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the  
open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it  
is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.  
z Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-  
and-white printing is specified.  
Color ink is also consumed in Print Head Cleaning and Print Head Deep Cleaning, which may  
be necessary to maintain the machine’s performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it  
immediately with a new one.

Routine Maintenance  
Keeping the Best Printing Results  
To avoid drying of the Print Head and clogging of the nozzles, note the following.  
When You Turn Off the Machine  
Follow the procedure below to turn off the machine.  
(1) Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.  
(2) Confirm that the POWER lamp has gone out.  
This takes a few seconds or as long as around 30 seconds.  
(3) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.  
If you are using a power outlet strip, you can switch it off instead.  
When you press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine, the machine automatically puts a  
protective cap on the Print Head to prevent the ink from drying. If you remove the power cord or  
switch off the power outlet strip before the POWER lamp goes out, this capping will not be done  
properly, causing the Print Head to dry and clog.  
When You Are Not Using the Machine for a Long Time  
When you are not using the machine for a long time, print or copy in both black & white and in  
color, or perform Print Head Cleaning, about once a month to prevent degradation of the Print  
Head.  
Numerous nozzles are installed in the Print Head for high-precision printing. Just as the  
uncapped tip of a ballpoint pen or marker becomes dry and unusable if it is not used for a long  
period of time, the print head nozzles become blocked by dried ink. Periodically printing or  
cleaning the Print Head can prevent this blockage.  
Note  
z If the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat, ink  
may blur depending on the paper.  
z If the print head nozzles get clogged, printouts will become faint or particular colors will not be  
printed properly. For details, see “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on  
page 56.  
Routine Maintenance  
55  
When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect  
When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect even if ink remains in the ink tanks, the print  
head nozzles are probably clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern to confirm the condition of the  
nozzles and then perform Print Head Cleaning.  
If the ruled lines are shifted after running print head maintenance, align the Print Head.  
Note  
Before performing maintenance  
z Open the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) and make sure that all lamps for the ink tanks are lit red.  
– If any one of the lamps is flashing slowly, the associated ink tank is running low. You can continue  
printing for a while, but we recommend you to have a replacement ink tank available.  
– If any one of the lamps is flashing fast, the associated ink tank is empty. Replace the ink tank.  
See “Replacing Ink Tanks” on page 52.  
If an ink lamp is flashing fast even though ink remains in that ink tank, it is inserted in the wrong  
position. Make sure that the ink tank of the correct color is inserted in each position, matching the  
label. See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 50.  
– If the ink lamp is not lit, the tank is not set properly. Press the  
mark on the ink tank until the tank  
clicks into place. Make sure that all packaging material is peeled off the ink tank. See “Prepare the  
replacement tank.” on page 53.  
z Increase the Print Quality setting in the printer driver settings.  
See “Print Results Not Satisfactory” on page 78.  
Step 1

Troubleshooting  
Cannot Print Properly from a Digital Camera  
The following are the possible errors that may occur when printing directly from a digital still camera  
or digital video camcorder*, and the actions to resolve them.  
* Hereafter, the digital still cameras and digital video camcorders are collectively referred to as  
“digital camera” or “camera”.  
Note  
z PictBridge compatible digital cameras can be connected to your machine for direct printing.  
z This section describes errors that are indicated on Canon-brand PictBridge compatible cameras. The  
error messages and operations may vary depending on the camera you are using. If you are using a  
non-Canon PictBridge compatible camera and not sure how to dismiss the printer error message from  
the camera, check the error message displayed on the LCD and dismiss the error message. For details  
on dismissing an error message from the machine, see “Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD” on  
page 72.  
z A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too much time to send data.  
This may cancel printing. In such cases, disconnect the cable between the machine and the camera,  
and then reconnect it. Turn the camera on if it does not turn on automatically. If the problem is still not  
resolved, select a different photo and check if it can be printed.  
z Your PictBridge compatible device may need to be switched to printing mode before it is connected to  
the machine, depending on the model of the camera. Also, it may need to be turned on manually or  
switched to playback mode after connected to the machine. Refer to your camera’s instruction manual  
and take perform necessary operation before connection.  
z The print head nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect. See “When  
Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on page 56.  
z If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure that you are using the correct  
type of paper. If the problem is not resolved by using the correct type of paper, turn on the Prevent  
paper abrasion function. See “Printing on thick paper.” on page 81.

be (a) repaired; (b) exchanged for new or comparable rebuilt, recovered, remanufactured, repaired

items except for compatible Canon brand peripheral equipment covered by a separate warranty  
("Separate Warranty"). Repairs of such Canon brand peripheral equipment shall be governed by the

manufacturer or producer thereof.  
This limited warranty covers all defects encountered in normal use of the Product and does not apply  
in the following cases:  
(a) Loss of or damage to the Product due to abuse, neglect, mishandling, improper packaging by  
you, alteration, accident, electrical current fluctuations, improper use, failure to follow operating

manual or other documentation, or services performed by someone other than a Canon USA

abrasions will be presumed to have resulted from misuse, abuse or failure to operate the  
Product as set forth in the user's manual or other documentation for the Product.  
(b) Use of parts, media, software or supplies (other than those sold by Canon USA), including non-  
Canon ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges, that cause damage to the Product or cause  
abnormally frequent service calls or service problems.  
(c) If the Product has had its serial number or dating defaced, altered or removed.

In the event service is required for the Product during the limited warranty period, Canon USA  
offers two hardware support options:  
Authorized Service Facility Carry-In / Mail-In Service  
Canon USA's Carry-In/Mail-In Service provides repair or exchange, at Canon USA's option, through  
Canon USA's Authorized Service Facility (ASF) network. The name and telephone number of the  
ASF(s) near you may be obtained from Canon USA's Web site at www.canontechsupport.com or

technical support person. A Product covered by this limited warranty will be repaired or exchanged,  
as determined by Canon USA, and returned without charge by the ASF.  
InstantExchange Service **  
A Canon Customer Care Center or ASF technician will attempt to diagnose the nature of the problem  
and, if possible, correct it over the telephone. If the problem cannot be corrected over the telephone,  
and you elect the InstantExchange option, a reference number will be issued to you. You will be  
asked for the Product serial number and other information pertaining to your defective Product and  
for a ship-to location for the replacement Product (must include street address).  
The Canon USA repair facility will ship out the replacement Product, via 2nd day Air freight service,  
prepaid by Canon USA. After receipt of the replacement Product (with instructions and a prepaid  
waybill), follow the enclosed instructions on how to ship the defective Product to the Canon USA  
repair facility. The defective Product must be returned in the shipping carton in which the  
replacement Product was packed and include the reference number, A COPY OF YOUR DATED  
PROOF OF PURCHASE (BILL OF SALE), and a complete explanation of the problem. DO NOT  
INCLUDE ANY OTHER ITEMS WITH THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN THE RETURN SHIPPING  
CARTON, AND BE SURE TO RETAIN YOUR PRINTHEAD AND INK CARTRIDGE(S) AND  
TANK(S).  
InstantExchange Service expedites, usually by the second business day, the exchange of a  
defective Product with a replacement Product, which will normally be shipped the same day if your  
request for this service is by 3 p.m. E.T. Monday through Friday, except holidays (three (3) business  
day InstantExchange Service for Alaska and Hawaii). Canon USA does not guarantee expedited  
shipping service in the event of the occurrence of factors beyond its reasonable control. The  
replacement Product you receive may be a refurbished or reconditioned unit and will be covered for  
the balance of the period remaining on your original limited warranty. NOTE THAT BY USING THIS  
SERVICE YOU WILL KEEP THE REPLACEMENT PRODUCT THAT IS SENT TO YOU. CANON  
USA WILL RETAIN THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT YOU ORIGINALLY PURCHASED, WHICH  
SHALL BECOME THE PROPERTY OF CANON USA. InstantExchange warranty program service is  
available only during the express limited-warranty period for your Product and only in the continental  
United States, Alaska and Hawaii during such period.  
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary  
from state to state.  
* Support program specifics are subject to change without notice.  
** InstantExchange warranty service is subject to the availability of refurbished or new replacement  
units.
