This product uses PictBridge technology to print via USB.  
PictBridge technical standards facilitate direct connection of cameras, \
printers, 
and other devices for easy printing. 

This product is compliant with the DPS 
over IP standard that allows the use of PictBridge in network environments.
Printing Using Camera Settings (DPOF Print)
Inserting a memory card with DPOF information configured on a camera 
will display [DPOF images remain / Print images?]. To review the printing 
information set on the camera, press the < o> button, and to print all 
designated images at once, press the < p> button.
• For instructions on configuring DPOF information, refer to the camera user 
manual.
•
 
Dates and file numbers are DPOF information set on the camera that cannot 
be changed on SELPHY

.
•
 
Images prepared with a [Print 
 Type] of [Standard] on Canon cameras are 
printed according to the settings in “Adjusting Settings” ( =
  24 – 32).
•
 Y
ou can also review the printing information set on the camera by pressing the 
 button, selecting [DPOF Print], and pressing the  button.  
However, [DPOF Print] is only displayed when a camera-configured memory 
card is inserted.
Printing from a Camera
By connecting a PictBridge-compatible camera, you can choose images 
with the camera and print.
Here, printing instructions are given using a Canon compact digital camera 
as an example. If your camera is operated differently, refer to the camera 
user manual.
1 Prepare SELPHY .
zzConfirm that no memory cards are 
inserted in SELPHY.
2 Connect SELPHY  to the camera 
using the USB cable ( =  51).
3 Turn on SELPHY and then the 
camera, and enter Playback 
mode.

Troubleshooting
Paper
Paper does not fit in the cassette• Confirm that the paper is the same size as the paper cassette (=  2).
Paper feed problems or frequent paper jams occur• Confirm that the paper and cassette are inserted correctly (=  9, 10).
•
 Confirm that there are less than 19 sheets in the cassette.
•
 
Confirm that 19 or more prints have not collected on the paper cassette.
•

 
Confirm that you are using paper designed especially for SELPHY
  (=
  10).
Cannot print the correct quantity (unused paper left after ink runs out\
)• Some unused paper may remain if the ink runs out first ( =  15).
Paper jams• If paper protrudes from the front or back paper ejection slot ( =  5), carefully pull it 
out. If you cannot remove the paper by gently pulling it out, never forc\
e it out. Turn the 
printer off and then on. Repeat until the paper is ejected. If you accidentally tu\
rn the 
printer off while printing, restart it and wait until the paper is ejected. If pap\
er jams and 
cannot be removed, contact your retailer or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk. 
Do not attempt to remove jammed paper by force, which may damage the pri\
nter.
No date or file number when printing from memory cards or USB flash 
drives
• Confirm that SELPHY  is set up to print the date or file number (=  30).  
Note that in DPOF printing, date or file number printing is configured on the camera.
No date or file number when printing from cameras• Confirm that the date or file number setting is enabled on the camera. Note that under 
standard camera settings, the date or file number setting on SELPHY  will be used.
Print quality is poor• Confirm that the ink sheet and paper are free of dirt or dust.
•  Confirm that SELPHY’ s interior is free of dust (=  63).
•
 Confirm that no condensation has formed on SELPHY  (=  63).
•
 Confirm that SELPHY
 is away from sources of electromagnetic waves or strong 
magnetic fields ( =
  11).
Printed colors do not match on-screen colors• Screens have a dif ferent method of color development from printers. 
Colors may also look different depending on the intensity and color temperature of 
lighting in the monitor viewing environment, as well as monitor color ca\
libration.
Individual images are printed reduced, in only one layout position• Change the [Page Layout] settings ( =  26). When a layout in [Page Layout] other 
than [1-up] is selected, individual images are printed in one layout pos\
ition per sheet 
if you print from a camera or other device that can only send one image \
at a time.
Printing takes too long• SELPHY will temporarily halt printing if it exceeds a specific temperature; this does  not indicate a problem. Wait until the printer cools off. During continuous printing, in 
hot environments, or if the printer’s interior becomes hot because the rear-side air 
vent (=
  5) is blocked, SELPHY may temporarily stop printing, causing printing to 
take longer.
•
 
Printing may take some time depending on the printing environment. In th\
is case, try 
another printing method (printing from a memory card, printing via Wi-F\
i, printing via 
USB cable).

camera or smartphone
• As the connection method, choose [Direct Connection] (=  35, 38).
•
 Keep the printer near the camera or smartphone, without objects between \
them.
Access point not displayed on the printer  
Cannot connect the printer to the access point
• As the connection method, choose [V ia Wi-Fi Network] (=  40).
•
 Confirm that the access point is on and ready for communication. For instructions on 
how to check, refer to the access point user manual.
•
 
If there are many access points but the required one is not listed, conn\
ect using WPS 
(

•
 Keep the printer near the access point, without objects between them.
•
 
Confirm that the password is correct, and try connecting again.

Confirm that the access point channel is between 1 – 1
 1. Instead of auto channel 
assignment, it is advisable to specify a channel in this range manually. For 
instructions on checking or adjusting the settings, refer to the access \
point user 
manual.
•
 
If the access point filters communication by MAC or IP
  addresses, on the access 
point, register the printer information shown when you check the setting\
s ( =
  48). 
Also try disabling any access point isolation or privacy separation func\
tions.  
For instructions on checking or adjusting the settings, refer to the acc\
ess point user 
manual.
•
 
In WEP

 networks without DHCP, set the IP address manually ( =

Cannot connect via Wi-Fi• Try restarting SELPHY. If a connection still cannot be established, check the settings 
of the access point or other device for the Wi-Fi connection.
•
 
If connection via [WPS Connection] is not possible, try connecting by us\
ing [Search 
for an access point] (

=
  42) or [Manual Settings] (=  44).
Can connect to access point, but cannot print• Remove any inserted memory cards or USB flash drives.
•  Printing is not possible when the printer is already printing a job from\
 another device, 
or when the printer is connected to a camera.
•
 
When printing from a smartphone, install Canon PRINT
  Inkjet/SELPHY (=
  34).
•
 Confirm that the camera, smartphone, or computer you are printing from is connected 
to the same access point as SELPHY
.
•
 
Check the access point password and try to connect again ( =  45).
•
 If a message is displayed after you enter the correct password and press\
 the < o
> 
button (=
  44), confirm that DHCP server functionality is enabled on the access 
point, and make sure connection settings on SELPHY such as the IP address are 
correct (=
  48).
Printing takes too long, or the Wi-Fi connection is lost• Do not use the printer near sources of Wi-Fi signal interference, such a\
s microwave 
ovens, Bluetooth devices, or other equipment operating on the 2.4 GHz band.   
Note that even when [
] is displayed, image transmission may take some time.
•
 In direct connections ( =  34, 37), keep the printer near the camera or 
smartphone, without objects in between.
