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 (=  49).
3 Turn on SELPHY and then the 
camera, and enter Playback 
mode.
zzSome cameras will display a  icon.
4 On the camera, choose images 
and prepare to print.
zzUse the camera to start printing.
zzAfter printing, turn off SELPHY and the 
camera and disconnect the cable.
•	Printing in progress cannot be canceled from SELPHY by using the  
button. Use the camera to stop printing.
•	 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” ( =
  23 – 29).
•	 You 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.

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.
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 (=  62).
•	 Confirm that no condensation has formed on SELPHY (=  62).
•	 Confirm that SELPHY is away from sources of electromagnetic waves or strong 
magnetic fields ( =
  10).
Printed colors do not match on-screen colors•	Computer monitors employ a different 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 ( =  25). 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.
