Open the lid.
There are two steps to open the lid. Open the outer lid () 
first, then open the inner lid (
).

Check the paper size.
Check that the prepared ink cassette and the size shown 
on the paper cassette (Card size, Postcard size, etc.) 
match.
Getting Started
Preparations	for	printing	ima ges. A Postcard size Color Ink Cassette/Paper Set (sold separately)  (p. 2) will be 
used as an example, however Color Ink Cassette/Paper Sets other than Postcard size may also be used in 
the same way to prepare for printing.
Check the ink cassette.
Check that the paper size and the size shown on the color 
ink cassette (Card size, Postcard size etc.) match. 
Check that the ink sheet is taut with no slack. If the ink 
sheet is slack, push and turn the sprocket as shown in the 
illustration.
If you overwind the ink sheet, it may not be possible to 
use	all	the	paper	for	printing	and	the	ink	sheet	may	tear.



Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet. Do not touch the ink cassette with wet or sweaty hands.  You may not 
be able to print if the ink sheet is damaged, dirty or wet.

Use only dedicated paper for use in SELPHY CP series printers included in the genuine Canon brand 
Color Ink Cassette/Paper Sets. Regular printing paper, regular postcards, or dedicated paper for SELPHY 
ES series printers cannot be used.
Never do the following, as it may result in failure or cause the printer to malfunction:reverse the paper (the shiny side is the print side)
bend or separate the paper at the perforations before printing
use label sheets that have begun to peel or label sheets with portions peeled back
write on a sheet before printing
print	on	already	printed	paper
reuse	a	spent	ink	cassette
Do	not	touch	the	springs	of	the	paper	cassette. 	
If the springs are bent or deformed, paper will not feed correctly into 
SELPHY.
Do not touch or scratch the print surface (shiny side), or touch the 
paper with wet hands. If the print surface becomes dirty or wet, you 
will not be able to make clean prints.

Set the paper.
Set	the	paper	into	the	paper	cassette	that	you	prepared.
You can place up to 18 sheets in the paper cassette. 
Inserting 19 or more sheets may damage the printer or 
cause	malfunction.	
Hold the paper as shown in the illustration, with the shiny 
side	facing	up	and	put	it	into	the	paper	cassette.	Do	not	
touch the print side (shiny side) of the paper with your 
fingers. This may prevent you from making clean prints.
If a protective sheet is included with the paper, remove it 
and	set	the	paper	only	into	the	cassette.
When	making	Postcard	size	prints	that	have	a	section	
for	pasting	a	stamp,	insert	the	paper	so	that	the	stamp	
section is facing the direction shown in the illustration.
