Basic Operations

Adjusting the print settings according to your needs allows you to produce better quality prints.
Caution
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately switch the printer
off and always unplug the printer. Contact your local Canon service representative.
To avoid injury, never put your hand or fingers inside the printer while it is printing.
Notes
If prints are unclear or specific colors are not reproduced even if there is plenty of ink, print head
nozzles may be clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern, check the results, then perform print head
cleaning. For details about maintenance, refer to "When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are
Incorrect" in the User's Guide.
You can use Easy-PhotoPrint to easily do print operations when printing photographs. Easy-PhotoPrint
