    Red-Eye corrects red eyes in portraits caused by flash photography.
    • For Flexible Color Adjustment
    With some types of Canon PictBridge compliant single-lens reflex cameras you can 
    make finer color adjustments by selecting the color mode that is most suitable for 
    what you want to achieve. 
    You can select from; Natural, Natural M, B/W, Cool tone or Warm tone. Refer to the 
    Digital Photo Printing Guide on-screen manual or the instruction manual provided 
    with your PictBridge compliant Canon device.
    *When Natural is selected, natural colors are realistically reproduced in the printed photo.
    When Natural M is selected, you can adjust the color (contrast etc.) more carefully specifically than Natural.
    When B/W is selected, the photo is printed like a black and white photo.
    When Cool tone is selected, the photo is printed in a cool black and white tone.
    When Warm tone is selected, the photo is printed in a warm black and white tone.
    * If the printing troubles have occurred on the top and/or bottom edges of the paper such as uneven coloration or 
    white streaks when printing with B/W, Cool tone, or Warm tone selected, we recommend printing it from the 
    computer with the top and bottom margins set to more than 45 mm / 1.77 inches. For details on how to print in 
    grayscale from the computer, refer to the 
    Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual or Photo Application Guide on-
    screen manual.

    Using the Bundled Software
    The Setup CD-ROM includes photo applications designed to edit the photographs taken by a 
    digital camera and print them as photo-lab quality prints without standard white borders. 
    Please use the application(s) suitable for your print purposes.
    zTo install applications, refer to the Easy Setup Instructions.
    zFor details about using the photo applications, refer to the
     Photo Application 
    Guide
     on-screen manual.
    „Easy-PhotoPrint
    You can make a Borderless Print easily and quickly, just by selecting a photograph 
    taken with a digital camera and the paper type on which to print. Also it has tools to 
    correct red eye caused by the camera’s flash or smooth and beautify the facial skin. It 
    is compatible with ExifPrint*.
    * ExifPrint is the worldwide standard. Under ExifPrint, the digital camera can record data tags for specific camera 
    settings and functions such as whether the flash was on or off, if the camera was in portrait or night scene mode, 
    etc.
    Canon PIXMA Printers support ExifPrint and use a suitable photo application to read the camera data precisely, 
    producing optimal prints. This enables you to create prints that reproduce color more accurately.
    „Easy-PhotoPrint Pro
    Use Easy-PhotoPrint Pro with Adobe® Photoshop® CS or Adobe Photoshop CS2 for 
    professional level editing and printing. You can also maintain high image quality when 
    printing by using it together with Digital Photo Professional, which is included with 
    digital single-reflex cameras manufactured by Canon. These recommendations are for 
    people who demand higher quality when printing photos.

    Replacing an Ink Tank
    Replace ink tank(s) if they are out of ink. To  continue printing under the ink out condition 
    may cause the printing trouble such as the mixing of inks, or a printer malfunction.
    When replacing them, check the model numb ers and their installation positions. 
    With this printer, the following ink tanks are used.
    z Carefully check the labels on the ink tanks so you do not mistakenly insert 
    them in the wrong positions. The installation positions of the ink tanks from 
    the left are; photo magenta, photo black, matte black, photo cyan, gray, 
    magenta, yellow, cyan, green and red.
    z Should missing characters or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink 
    levels, refer to  “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect ” on page 
    46.

    „Getting the Ink Level Information
    Ink Level Indication on the Printer
    You can confirm the ink level in each ink tank through the ink lamps. Open the Top 
    Cover of the printer to see how the ink lamps light or flash.
    Ink is low: The ink lamp flashes slowly (at about three second interval). You can 
    continue printing, but we recommend preparing a new ink tank to replace 
    the associated ink tank.
    Ink is out: The ink lamp flashes quickly (at ab out one second interval), and the 
    ALARM  lamp on the printer flashes orange four, seventeen, or eighteen 
    times. Replace the ink tank with a new one.
    *When the  ALARM lamp on the printer flashes orange seven times,  an error has occurred and therefore the printer is 
    unable to print. For details, refer to  “Handling Error Messages ” on page 77.
    When the ink lamp is unlit and the  ALARM lamp on the printer is also 
    unlit, the function for detecting the remaining ink level has been 
    released. Replacing with a new ink tank will activate this function again.
    Ink Level Indication on the PC
    Open the  Canon IJ Status Monitor  to check the ink level information.
    1. Open the printer properties dialog box. See  “Accessing the Printer Driver (Windows) ” on page 32.
    2. Click  View Printer Status  on the Maintenance  tab.
    The following message will be displayed.
    *You can also display the  Canon IJ Status Monitor by clicking the Canon IJ Status Monitor  button which appears on 
    the taskbar during printing.
    Ink is low: The [!] symbol appears above an ink tank that is low. You can continue 
    printing, but we recommend preparing a new ink tank to replace the 
    associated ink tank.
    Ink is out: The [x] symbol appears above an empty ink tank. Click  Ink Details to 
    show the ink tank information, then replace the ink tank with a new one.
