Always use the paper specific to SELPHY CP series printers included in the genuine Canon brand Ink Cassette/Paper Sets. Use only dedicated paper. Regular printing paper, regular postcards, or paper specified for use in SELPHY ES series printers cannot be used.Never do the following, as it may lead to failure or cause the printer t\
o malfunction:
- mistakenly reversing the paper (the shiny side is the print side)
- bending or separating the paper at the perforations before printing
- using label sheets that have begun to peel or label sheets with portio\
ns peeled back
- writing on a sheet before printing
- printing on already printed paper
- reusing a spent ink cassetteDo 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 the print surface (shiny side), scratch it or touch 
the paper with wet hands. Prints will not be desirable if the print surface becomes dirty or wet.

Spring
Close the lid.
Close the inner lid until it clicks into place. 
Leave the outer lid open during printing. 
For Wide size paper cassette (sold separately), 
close the inner lid first, then slide the inner lid 
until it clicks to the opposite direction of the  
arrow.


Set the paper.
Set the paper into the paper cassette that you 
prepared in Step 1.
You can place up to 18 sheets in the paper 
cassette (up to 12 for Wide size). Inserting 19 
or more sheets (13 or more for Wide size) may 
damage the printer or cause malfunction. 
Hold the paper stack as shown in the illustration, 
with the shiny side facing up. Do not touch the 
print side (shiny side) of the paper with your 
fingers. Doing so may prevent you from making 
clean prints.
When a protective sheet is present, remove it 
and only set the paper stack 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 inner lid (as 
shown in the illustration).

Storing SELPHY

Make sure the catches are open, then place 
SELPHY in the basket.
Take care not to pinch your fingers between 
SELPHY and the basket.


Fasten the catch.
Lift the catches and fasten them into place. You 
should hear a clicking sound when they lock. 
When carrying SELPHY, be sure you have 
fastened the catches as instructed above. Carry 
SELPHY by using the handle on the basket.
Store SELPHY in a level, dark place where it will 
not get dusty.



If dust enters SELPHY and sticks to the paper or color ink, print quality deteriorates.
When both sides of a print have perforations, you can remove the edges 
by bending them.
Use an oil-based pen to write on prints.
Avoid storing photos in places with high temperatures (40°C/104°F \
or 
higher), places with high humidity or dust, or places subject to direct\
 
sunlight. 
Avoid actions that may result in color change, color fading or color 
bleeding, such as the following: Sticking any type of adhesive tape on a\
 print surface, allowing print 
surfaces to come into contact with vinyl or plastic, applying alcohol or\
 other volatile solvents to a 
print surface, leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against other surf\
aces or objects for prolonged 
periods.
If you wish to mount prints in an album, choose an album with photo cove\
rs made of nylon, 
polypropylene or cellophane.
Color may change over time or depending on storage conditions. Canon ass\
umes no liability for color changes.
