Troubleshooting
PictBridge compatible digital cameras can be connected to your machine for
direct printing.
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 clear the error from the
camera, confirm the message displayed on the LCD of the machine and clear
the error. For clearing an error from the machine, see "An Error Message Is
Displayed On The LCD/LED" on page 86.
A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too
much time to send data. This may stop printing. In such cases, disconnect the
cable between the machine and the camera, and reconnect the cable
between the machine and the camera. Then, turn the camera on, if it does not
automatically turn on. If the problem is still unresolved, select some other
photo and check if it can be printed.
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 device.
Also, it may need to be turned on manually or switched to replay mode after
connected to the machine. Refer to the instruction manuals supplied with your
camera and take the necessary steps before connection.
The FINE Cartridge nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or
colors are incorrect. See "When Printing Becomes Faint Or Color Is Incorrect"
on page 75.
If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure that
you are using the correct type of paper.
For the errors indicated on the camera and their solution, also refer to the
user's manual of the camera. For other troubles with a digital camera, contact
the manufacturer of the camera.
Photos are printed from the computer.
Wait until printing ends. If the machine is warming up, wait until warm-
up ends.
Load paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder and press [OK] (MP180) / [Black]
or [Color] (MP160) on the machine.
If the Paper Output Tray is closed, open it. Printing is resumed.
Remove the jammed paper, load new paper, and press [OK] (MP180) /
[Black] or [Color] (MP160) on the machine and retry printing.
Close the Scanning Unit on the machine.
The FINE Cartridge may not be installed properly, or the Cartridge may
not be the compatible with this machine. Install the appropriate FINE
Cartridge. If lines are misaligned or the resulting output is not
satisfactory, carry out the FINE Cartridge Alignment.
