Printing Photographs Directly from a Compliant Device
Printing Photographs Directly from a 
Compliant Device
You can connect a PictBridge compliant device such as a digital camera, 
camcorder, or mobile phone using a USB cable recommended by the device’s 
manufacturer, and print recorded images directly without using a computer.
„ Connectable Devices
PictBridge is an industry standard enabling a range of digital photo solutions, 
including the direct printing of photos from a digital still camera, camcorder or 
mobile phone* without the need to use a computer. A device can be connected 
to this printer for direct printing regardless of the manufacturer or the model as 
long as it complies with the PictBridge standard.
* PictBridge compliant digital still cameras, digital camcorders, and camera-
equipped mobile phones are hereafter collectively referred to as “PictBridge 
compliant device”.
 A device with this mark is PictBridge compliant.
„Printable Image Data Format
This printer prints images taken with a DCF (Design rule for Camera File 
system) ver. 1.0/2.0-compatible digital camera (Exif ver. 2.2/2.21 compliant), as 
well as PNG files.

communication.
When printing through infrared communication, also refer to the instruction manual 
of your mobile phone or PDA.
1Prepare for printing.
(1)Turn on the printer.
See “Turning On/Off the Printer” on page 6.
(2) Load paper.
See “Loading Printing Paper” on page 8.
2Set the print setting and layout.
See “Setting the Page Size, Media Type, and Layout When Printing from a

(1)Place the mobile phone or PDA so that its infrared port (A) comes face to 
face to that of the printer (B) at a distance of less than approximately 8 
inches / 20 cm (C). (2)
Select the photo to print and send the data to the printer using the 
infrared communication function of the mobile phone or PDA.
Printing will start after receiving all data.
NotezThe effective angle of the IrDA Port of the printer is about 10 degrees from the 
central axis (D) in both vertical and horizontal directions.

Notez
Do not place any obstacle between the infrared ports of the printer and mobile 
phone or PDA it will block data transmission.
z During printing, be careful not to interrupt infrared communication with the 
printer. If it is interrupted, send the data from the mobile phone or PDA again.
z Depending on your device, the print quality may be degraded due to the 
restriction on the infrared transfer capacity.
z We recommend printing on sticker or credit card-sized paper when the print 
quality on other types of paper is not fine.
About transmittable data
z Due to security settings on the mobile phone or PDA, downloaded content or 
photos downloaded from an URL attached to an E-mail cannot be printed.
z Video files cannot be printed.
z Depending on the size of a photo, it may take a while for this printer to start to 
print after starting the infrared communication.
z Depending on your device, data saved on a memory card may not be printed.
z Printed quality and orientation (portrait or landscape) are determined 
automatically according to the shot photo size.
z Depending on the photo size shot on the mobile phone, the edges of the image 
may be cut off when performing borderless printing; the margin size may 
change when printing with borders.
z If the photo file is over 1.8 MB in size, it may not be possible to send the file.

Routine Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are 
Incorrect
When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, the ink may have run out, or 
the Print Head Nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to clean 
the nozzles.
If Print Head Deep Cleaning does not resolve the problem, the Print Head may be 
damaged. Contact your Canon Service representative.
„ Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern
Print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink ejects properly from 
the Print Head Nozzles. 
1Prepare for printing.
(1) Turn on the printer.
See “Turning On/Off the Printer” on page 6.
(2) Load one sheet of Canon genuine 4 x 6 / 101.6 x 152.4 mm paper or 
Canon genuine 5 x 7 / 127.0 x 177.8 mm paper in the Rear Tray. See 
“Loading Printing Paper” on page 8.
(3) Make sure that the Paper Thickness Lever is set to the right.
2Print the Nozzle Check Pattern.
(1)Select  Settings   on the Home screen, then press the  OK button.
“Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern” on right columnStep 1
“Print Head Cleaning” on page 28
Step 2
If the problem remains after performing Print Head Cleaning twice.
“Print Head Deep Cleaning” on page 29Step 3
If the pattern is printed 
normally, select All A.
If the print quality is poor, perform Print Head Cleaning. After Print Head 
Cleaning, 
print the nozzle 
check pattern.
NoteBefore performing maintenance
z
Open the Printer Cover and make sure that the ink lamp is lit red.
– If the ink lamp is flashing slowly, the ink tank is running low. If the printing is blurred, 
replace the ink tank. See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 30.
If the printing is not blurred, you can continue printing for a while, but the printer may 
not be able to print properly along the way. We recommend you to have a 
replacement ink tank available.
– If the ink lamp is flashing fast, the ink tank is empty. Replace the ink tank. See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 30.
– 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.
z If the print result is not your expected one, for instance, the printed photo is rough, 
performing the Print Head Alignment may resolve the problem.
See “Aligning the Print Head” on page 29.
