†To Prevent Damage from Condensation
† Cleaning the Printer
„Proper Handling of Ink Cassettes
Condensation may form in the printer if you suddenly move it from a cold location to a 
warm location.  To prevent damage that might be caused by condensation, place the printer 
in a sealed plastic bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room temperature before using 
it. Stop using the printer immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage 
the equipment. Wait until the water droplets have evaporated completely before resuming 
use.
Never use benzene, paint thinner, or other volatile solvents to clean the printer.  Volatile 
solvents may cause deformation or peeling of the printer’s casing. To clean the printer, wipe it 
with a soft dry cloth. If stronger cleaning is required, wipe first with a cloth moistened with a 
dilute neutral solvent, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. If you use a chemical cleaning 
cloth, read the instructions that come with it and observe all indicated precautions.
Keep the air vents clean and free of dust.  Clean the vents as necessary. Dust that enters 
the printer through the vents may land on the ink sheet, resulting in poor print quality and 
possibly leading to printer breakdown. If the ink sheet becomes dusty, remove the ink 
cassette and replace it with a new one.
Please use only the ink cassettes specified for use by Canon.
Do not open the ink cassette cover while printing is in progress, and do not pull the 
ink cassette out.  These actions may damage the printer.
Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet.  There may not be enough ink left for the allotted 
sheets in the set.
Do not handle the ink cassettes with wet or sweaty hands.
Allow ink cassettes to reach room temperature before installing and using them.
Condensation may form if you suddenly move ink cassettes from a cold location to a warm 
location. If there is risk of condensation, leave the cassette in its packaging until it reaches 
room temperature, and wipe away any moisture before loading it.
If you are not planning to use the printer for a while, remove and store the ink cassette.

„Proper Handling of Paper Cassettes
„ Proper Handling of Paper
Do not apply excessive force to the paper cassette.  Force or impact on the cassette may 
result in paper jams or equipment damage.
Do not bend or deform the spring located at the rear of the middle cover of the paper 
cassette.
Do not place any foreign objects in the print output receptacle (on the top of the paper 
cassette).  This area is for paper only.
If you are not planning to use the pri nter for a while, remove the paper cassette, close 
the paper cassette’s top cover and store the paper cassette. Also remove the paper 
from the paper cassette and store it horizontally.
Please use only the paper types specified for use by Canon.
Paper must be printed on the glossy side (the side without any printed markings).
Always load paper into the cassette with the glossy side up. Loading the paper the wrong way 
may result in poor print quality, and in some cases may cause damage to the printer.
Do not tear or bend the paper’s perforated edges before printing.  Tearing the paper’s 
perforated edges will cause the ink sheet to wind up automatically and waste one print’s 
worth of ink. If this happens, there will not be enough ink left to print all the paper sheets 
included in the kit.
Do not use label sheets on which labels are partially peeled off.
Do not touch the print side of the paper with your fingers.  Always hold the paper along 
the edges (outside the perforated border).
Be sure that hands are dry before touching the paper. Sharp objects will scratch the paper 
surface. Keep the paper surface free from fingerprints, dust, water droplets, etc.
Do not write on the paper before printing.  Writing on paper before printing on it may result 
in malfunction.

„Paper Storage
„ Others
Do not touch paper while it is being printed.  During printing, the sheet repeatedly moves 
back and forth along the top of the paper cassette and in and out through the paper-handling 
slot. Please do not touch the sheet during this process as this could damage the printer.
Do not allow too many prints to accumulate in the print output receptacle.  Do not allow 
more than 9 sheets to accumulate in the print output receptacle.
You may write on the paper with an oil-based pen, but to avoid smudging please allow 
ink time to dry before touching it.
Allow the paper to reach room temperature before installing and using it.  Condensation 
may form if you suddenly move the paper from a cold location to a warm location. If there is 
risk of condensation, leave the paper in its packaging until it reaches room temperature, and 
wipe away any moisture before loading it.
Please avoid the following actions as they may result in color change, color fading or 
color bleeding.
• Sticking any type of adhesive tape onto the print surface.
• Allowing print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl materials.
• Applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to the print surface.
• Leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against any other surfaces or objects for prolonged 
periods.
If you wish to mount prints into an album, select an album with nylon-based sleeves, 
or with propylene or cellophane sleeves.  Other types of sleeves may cause color loss or 
color bleeding.
Color change may occur over time in accordance with conditions of storage. Canon 
assumes no liability for color changes.
To avoid print quality deterioration, do not store your prints in the following types of 
locations.
• Locations that reach temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)
• Humid or dusty locations
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
Remove unused paper from the paper cassette, return it to the bag and then into its 
original package. Store the package horizontally.
When opening a color ink/paper set (full-sized label set, label set), check the contents.
If something seems to be missing or appears to be damaged, contact the dealer for 
assistance.
The battery pack is charged while installed on the printer, and the printer is connected 
to the compact power adapter supplied with the printer.
When using the battery pack, if the battery status is low, the finished print may not be 
ejected into the print output receptacle completely. If this happens, gently pull out the 
paper.
