Preparing The Printer - Canon Pixma iP100 Quick Start Manual

Preparing the Printer

Be sure to read your setup sheet first for setting up your printer and getting it ready for use.
Unpack the printer
Please confirm the included items against the illustration printed on the lid of the packing box.
Caution
Be sure to remove the tapes before you turn on the printer.
Important
A USB cable is necessary to connect the printer with your computer.
1
Turn on the printer.
2
Install the Print Head.
Caution
Do not touch any internal parts other than the Print Head Lock Lever.
Important
Do not reattach the protective cap once it has been removed.
Note
There may be some transparent or light blue ink on the inside of the bag the print head comes
in, or the inside of the protective cap - this has no effect on print quality. Be careful not to get ink
on yourself when handling these items.
Insert the Print Head into the Print Head Holder by aligning the
the mark on the Print Head Holder.
Make sure that the Print Head Lock Lever is firmly locked into the Print Head Holder by pressing
the both tabs on the Print Head Lock Lever until they click.
3
Install the ink tanks.
Important
If the Print Head Cover is open for more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to the
right side. In this case, close the Print Head Cover, and open it again.
Insert both ink tanks into the correct slots by aligning the
mark on the Print Head Holder. The printer cannot be used unless both ink tanks are installed.
Once you have installed both ink tanks, the Power lamp will flash green. Wait for about 2
minutes, until the Power lamp stops flashing and changes to steady, non-flashing green and the
printer has stopped making operating noises, before proceeding.
Do not reattach the protective cap once it has been removed.
Note
The Alarm lamp on the printer still flashes orange if the Print Head Lock Lever is not set properly
or an ink tank is not installed properly. Open the Print Head Cover and make sure that the lock
lever is set properly and both ink tanks are installed properly.
4
Load printing paper.
In the following process, you will be required to perform the Print Head Alignment, and you
will need a sheet of the supplied paper (Paper For Print Head Alignment MP-101) with the
printing side (whiter side) facing up in the Rear Tray.
Important
Make sure that the Paper Thickness Lever is set to the right.
Always load paper in portrait orientation. Loading paper in landscape orientation can cause the
paper to be jammed.
