Load the paper cassette that 
matches the size of paper you 
want to print and the ink 
cassette.
• The printer enlarges or reduces the size of the image according to the paper size and 
sets the print direction to vertical or 
horizontal automatically. The upper, lower, 
left or right portion(s) of the printed image 
may be cut depending on the combination of 
the image size and paper size.
• When you print wide size paper (100 x 200  mm (4 × 8 in.)), the size of the printed image 
will be the same as the postcard size. You 
cannot do full-size borderless printing.
4
Transmit an image from your 
mobile phone to the printer.
• Aim the mobile phone's infrared port at the printer's infrared data receiver and transmit 
the image data to the printer. See the 
illustration on the left for the transmittable 
distance. Note that the distance differs 
depending on the mobile phone model. 
Refer to your mobile phone's manual.
• The printer's indicator blinks green while  receiving the data. If any error occurs the 
indicator lights green (returns to the original 
state). Check the message appearing on 
the mobile phone display if an error occurs.

When the Indicator Blinks
The indicator of the printer blinks if any error occurs during printing.
• E-mail and phone directories cannot be printed.
• Images downloaded from internet homepages or images originally downloaded 
from a URL and attached to e-mail cannot be printed. This restriction is for 
protecting mobile phone security.
• Some mobile phones have limited memory capacity for infrared data transmission 
and you may not be able to print the image in the best quality.
• The images in the memory card (such as an SD card or memory stick) of some  mobile phones cannot be printed.
• Movie images cannot be printed.
• If the printer cannot recover from an error, such as a paper jam, turn off the printer  and remove any paper from inside the printer. Turn it on, and repeat the procedure.
• Do not place any obstacle between the printer and the mobile phone.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the infrared data receiver. Direct sunlight may interfere  with the communication with the mobile phone.
• Do not place the printer near a plasma display. Placing it near a plasma display  may prevent the printer from communicating with the mobile phone.
• Do not interrupt the infrared data communication until printing completes. If the  communication is interrupted, turn off the printer. Then, turn it on, and repeat the 
procedure.
• If you print L size, postcard size or wide size paper, the printed image may be  coarser and grainier. In this case, printing on credit card size paper is 
recommended.
• If you transmit a large image, the transmission may take more than one minute.
• Do not do any printing operations from the camera or computer after the printer  starts communicating with the mobile phone until printing is complete.
• The printer cannot communicate with the mobile phone until all other printing  operations are complete.

• The indicator lights orange while charging and turns off once the battery pack is fully 
charged.
6
Disconnect the compact power 
adapter cable from the printer 
once charging is complete.
• If the power button is pressed and the printer’s power turns on while charging the 
battery pack, charging will stop. Pressing the power button again will turn off the 
printer and charging will resume.
• Do not use the battery pack in products other than those recommended by Canon.
• Do not charge battery packs other than the battery pack NB-CP2L.
• Do not carry or store the battery pack with metal objects with sharp edges, such as  paper clips and pins. Always put the terminal cover on the battery pack’s terminal 
when carrying it or before storing it.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery pack to severe impact.
• Do not apply heat or expose the battery pack to open flame.
• Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth,  cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly 
lead to fire.
• Immediately flush water over parts of the body or clothing that come into contact  with the inner contents of a battery if the outer casing incurs damage. If any of 
these substances should contact internal tissues, such as eyes or the mouth, 
immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.

• When the battery pack is used to power the printer, the printer will automatically turn off if it is idle for 5 minutes or more.
• This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or  discharge it before recharging. It can be charged at any charge state.
• It takes approximately 150 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a full  charge state (based on standard Canon testing criteria).
• Charge it within a temperature range of 5 to 40
oC (41 to 104oF).
• The charge adapter may emit noises while charging. This is not a malfunction.
• Do not charge the battery pack for more than 24 continuous hours to avoid  performance loss.
• When the printer is not in use, remove the battery pack, replace its terminal cover  and store it in a cool place (30
oC/86oF or less). Charge it before using it again.
• Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to  charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.
• Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year)  can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you are recommended to discharge 
the battery pack fully in the printer before storing it in a cool place (30
oC/86oF or 
less). If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and 
discharge it fully in the printer at least once a year before returning it to storage.
• The printer consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a 
function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly attentive 
in turning the power off.
• Remove the battery pack when the printer is not in use. The battery pack 
continues to discharge a small amount when left in the printer even with the power 
turned off. This shortens the battery life.
• Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 5 to 40
oC (41 to 104oF), 
the optimal range is 10 to 30oC (50 to 86oF). At cold temperatures, such as those 
experienced on ski hills, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable 
time.
• If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully  charged, it should be replaced.
