Printing From Your Digital Camera
You can select and print images from a digital camera that supports the P\
ictBridge standard.A Canon brand compact digital camera will be used as an example to explain the print method. If operations 
are different for the digital camera you use, refer to the user guide included \
with your digital camera.
Prepare SELPHY.
 OCheck that SELPHY has no memory card inserted, is not 
connected to any devices via a wireless LAN, and is not 
connected to a USB cable.
Connect SELPHY to the digital camera using 
the interface cable (USB cable) included with 
the digital camera.
First turn on SELPHY, then turn on the digital 
camera and play back the images on the 
digital camera.
 XDepending on the digital camera you use,  may appear 
on the digital camera’s screen.
Perform the necessary operations on your 
digital camera to select an image for printing.
 O Use the digital camera to start printing. OAfter printing has completed, turn off SELPHY and the 
digital camera, then unplug the cable.
 O You cannot stop printing with the  v button. Use the digital camera to stop printing. OThis product can print using PictBridge via USB connection.  
PictBridge is a standard to facilitate directly connecting digital camer\
as and printers. This product is compliant 
with the DPS over IP standard that allows the use of PictBridge over network connections.
Printing Images Using Digital Camera Specified Settings (DPOF 
Print)

Printing When a Power Outlet is not Available
You can use the battery pack NB-CP2L (sold separately) and charger adapter CG-CP200 (sold separately) 
to print images where there is no power outlet. You can print approximately 36 sheets* of postcard size paper 
with a fully charged battery.
* The number of printable pages is determined by our testing conditions. I\
t may differ depending on the 
printing conditions.
Installing the Batter y
Remove the battery terminal cover.
Attach the battery to the charger adapter.
 OFirst insert in the direction indicated by , and then in 
the direction indicated by  until it clicks and locks into 
place.
Charging the Batter y
Connect the power cord to the charger adapter 
with the attached battery.
 X The battery charge starts and the orange lamp will be lit. XThe battery charge will complete after approximately 4 
hours and the green lamp will be lit.
 OThe charge will continue even if you turn SELPHY on 
while the charger adapter is connected to it. However, 
the charge stops while printing.
Using SELPHY with a Batter y
Connect the charger adapter to SELPHY.
 O For cautions concerning the battery, refer to the user guide included with the battery. OKeep SELPHY on a stable surface such as a desk while it is connected to the charger\
 adapter and take care not

problem, contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk as listed on the inc\
luded customer support list.
Power
 OPower will not turn on
• Make sure the power plug is correctly connected  (p.  10).
•
 Press and hold the  q button until the screen is displayed  (p.  11).
•
 If you are using the battery pack NB-CP2L (sold separately) and charger adapter CG-CP200 (sold 
separately), check if the battery is charged, attached correctly , and the cable is connected properly.
Printing Problems
 OCannot print
• Make sure SELPHY is turned on (p.  11).
•
 Make sure that the ink and paper cassettes are correctly inserted  (p.  10).
•
 Make sure there is no slack in the ink sheet  (p.  7).
•
 Make sure that you are using dedicated paper  (p.  9).
•
 When the ink is spent, replace the ink cassette with a new one. When the paper is spent, refill the paper 
cassette with new paper  (p.  14).
•
 Make sure you are using the correct combination of paper, paper cassette and ink cassette (p.  7).
•
 If SELPHY is connected simultaneously to a digital camera, computer and has a mem\
ory card inserted, 
you may not be able to print properly. Connect SELPHY to only one device at a time.
•
 Depending on the room temperature, SELPHY may overheat and temporarily stop operating. This is not 
a malfunction. Wait until the temperature drops and printing resumes.
Cannot display/print images from memory card or USB flash memory
•
 Make sure the memory card is inserted all the way into the correct slot \
with the label facing upward 
(pp.  12,  13).
•
 Make sure the USB flash memory is inserted all the way in the correct slot faced correctly  (p.  15).
•
 Make sure you are using a supported image type  (p.  12).
•
 Make sure that any memory card requiring an adapter is inserted into the\
 adapter before being inserted 
into the slot (p.  12).
Cannot print from a digital camera
•
 Make sure your digital camera supports PictBridge  (p.  46).
•
 Make sure SELPHY and the digital camera are connected correctly  (p.  46).
•
 Make sure the rechargeable battery/disposable batteries in your digital \
camera are not depleted. If there 
is insufficient charge, replace the battery with a fully charged one, or new batteries.
Cannot print from a computer
•
 Make sure you installed the software according to the correct procedure \
 (p.  44).
•
 Check if SELPHY is correctly connected in infrastructure mode  (p.  31) when printing via a wireless LAN. 
Unplug the USB cable if a USB cable is connected.
•
 Check if SELPHY and your computer are directly connected by a USB cable  (p.  45) when printing via a 
USB cable. If connected to a wireless LAN, disable wireless LAN  (p.  41) and restart the software.
•
 Problems Exclusive to Windows: Make sure the printer is not set to offline.   
If it is, right-click the printer icon and cancel the offline setting.
•
 Problems Exclusive to Macintosh: Make sure SELPHY is registered on the Printer List  (p.  45).

•
 Make sure SELPHY is not placed near a device emitting electromagnetic waves or a strong \
magnetic 
field (p.  5).
 O Colors on the computer display and the print are different
• Color generation methods are different with computer screens and printers. Moreover, variance may be 
attributable to the environment in which the screen is viewed (color and strength of the light), or to the 
screen’s color adjustment settings.
 OAfter using the computer to cancel a print in progress, an image that ha\
d already been printed was 
printed again when printing resumed
•
 When you restart printing on a Macintosh computer after canceling, an al\
ready printed image may print 
again when printing resumes.
Paper
 OPaper will not fit into cassette
• Make sure the paper size matches the size of the paper cassette  (p.  2).
 OPaper is not feeding properly/frequent paper jams
• Make sure the paper and paper cassette are correctly inserted  (pp.  8,  10).
•
 Make sure there are less than 19 sheets in the cassette.
•
 Make sure 19 or more sheets have not collected on the outer lid of the p\
aper cassette.
•
 Make sure that you are using dedicated paper  (p.  9).
 OCannot print the specified number of prints/paper left over
• Paper may be left over if the ink runs out first (p.  14).
 OPaper is jammed
• If the paper is sticking out from the front or back (paper ejection slot)  (p.  6) of SELPHY, gently pull 
the paper to remove it. However, if a gentle tug is not sufficient to remove the paper, do not attempt to 
forcibly pull it out. 

Turn the printer off and on repeatedly until the paper is ejected. If you have accidentally 
turned off the power while printing, turn it on again and wait for the paper to b\
e ejected. Consult your 
retailer or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk in the event of a paper j\
am. Do not remove jammed 
paper by force. The printer could be damaged.
