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.

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

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.

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\

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).

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 there are less than 19 sheets in the cassette.

• 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.
