Let's take a look at countermeasures against troubles which may occur during use of the printer.
Here, we will discuss errors indicated on the LCD, problems that might occur during direct printing
from the digital camera, and problems that are also likely to occur while using the Photo Viewer. If
you cannot find the symptom corresponding to a certain problem, refer to the User's Guide.

the computer, not from the camera.
Press the Resume button to recover from the error.
You can print images for a while but you cannot print any more image
when the waste ink tank becomes full. Contact a Canon service
representative.
The memory card utility started on the computer has write-enabled the
card slot. When the card slot is write-enabled, the printer cannot print
images.
When you have finished writing data to the card, select the read-only
mode. For the cancellation procedure, see "Setting up the Card Slot as
the Memory Card Drive of the Computer" on page 29.
Press the Resume button and follow the procedure below.
(1) Open the front cover and check if there is ink left. If there is no ink
left, replace the ink tanks
See "Replacing Ink Tanks" on page 35.
(2) Print the nozzle check pattern to verify that the print nozzles are
clean.
See "Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern" on page 38.
(3) Move the printer so that the paper output is not in direct sunlight
and try automatic print head aligning again.
(4) If the error persists, adjust the print head manually.
Disconnect the camera connection cable, press the Resume button,
and then connect the cable once more.
The digital camera should be turned on automatically. If not, turn it on
manually.
