Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electric shock.
zAfter the battery pack is fully charged and when the compact power adapter is not being 
used, disconnect the adapter from both the pr inter and the power outlet. 
Heat will build up and could result in a fire.
zThe output terminal of the compact power adapter is designed for exclusive use with this 
equipment. Do not use the output terminal for other batteries and products. 
Heat will build up and could result in fire or electric shock.
Battery (Sold Separately)
zDo not place the battery pack near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat.
zThe battery pack should not be immersed in water.
zDo not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery pack.
zAvoid dropping or subjecting the battery pack to severe impacts that could damage the 
casing.
zUse only recommended battery pack and accessories.
Use of a battery pack not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions 
or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery 
leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these leaked substances, immediately 
flush with water.
zDo not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the 
battery charger while it is charging.
Heat will build up and could result in a fire.
zWhen charging the battery pack, use only the printer. Do not use other equipment. 
Heat will build up and could result in fire or electric shock.
zBefore you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent 
direct contact with other objects.

 CAUTIONS
Equipment
zDo not block the air vents on the printer.
zDo not rest objects on the equipment.
zDo not reach into internal parts of the equipment except as specified in the operating 
instructions.
Such conditions could lead to injury, fire, electric shock or other damage.
zUnplug the equipment when you are not using it.
Leaving the equipment plugged in during prolonged periods of non-use poses risk of electric 
shock or fire.
zDo not open the cartridge cover during printing. 
• If you do so, printing will stop. 
• Paper moves back and forth in the printer during printing. Placing your hand in the wayof moving paper may result in injury.

zDo not move the equipment while it is plugged in.
zDo not excessively bend or twist the power cord.
zDo not pull on the power cord.
Doing so may damage the power cord. Continued use of a damaged cord poses risk of fire, 
electric shock or equipment failure.
  
						

							
12
Usage Location
zDo not use the equipment in locations that are smoky, humid, dusty, or subject to strong 
vibration.
zDo not leave the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or close to heating 
equipment, such as the dashboard or  trunk (boot) of a car.
The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or 
other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
zDo not use the equipment near an open flame.
Sheets ejected from the print receptacle cover may fall into the flame, resulting in fire.
zDo not use the equipment close to TV sets or AM radios.
Operation of the equipment may adversely affect TV and radio reception.
  
						

							
13
Proper Usage and Handling
Usage Location
zLeave about 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the equipment and 10 cm 
(4 in.) of clearance on both sides.
Be sure to leave clearance around the paper-handling slot (at the front) so that paper has 
sufficient room to extend out from the slot during printing.
zDo not use near strong magnets or near devices that produce strong electromagnetic 
fields.
Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as TVs and game machines, and strong 
magnetic fields from devices such as speakers and large motors, may cause distortion in 
printed images.
When Not In Use
zBe sure to close the print receptacle cover.
If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer, print quality may deteriorate.
zUnplug the power cord fr om the outlet. If using the battery pack, remove it.
But please note that you should plug in and ru n the printer at least once every six months 
to ensure that it remains functional.
When Planning Not to Use for an Extended Period
zWhen the printer is not in use, please remove the cartridge from the printer and store it.
Return the cartridge to its original bag and package. Store the package horizontally. 
Before Transporting
zClose the print receptacle cover.
If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer, print quality may deteriorate.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
zYou can avoid condensation by placing the equipment (printer, cartridge) in an airtight, 
resealable plastic bag and letting the equipment adjust to temperature changes slowly 
before removing the equipment from the bag.
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause 
condensation (water droplets) to form on the external and internal surfaces of the 
equipment.
If Condensation Fo rms Inside the Printer
zStop using the printer immediately.
Continued use may damage the equipment.
Wait until the water droplets have evaporated completely before resuming use.
  
						

							
14
Printer
zPlease avoid turning the printer’s power on and off needlessly as the printer 
initialization consumes ink.
There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the set.
zNever use volatile compounds or insecticides on the printer, and do not allow rubber or 
vinyl material to remain in prolonged contact with the printer.
These materials may cause deformation of the printer’s casing.
zIf the printer overheats, it will temporarily  stop operating. This does not mean that the 
printer has malfunctioned.
The printer will resume normal printing as soon as it cools down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur in the following cases:
• When printing continuously.
• If the room is unusually warm.
• If the air vents on the back of the printer are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.
zLower the carrying handle when printing. If the prints touch the carrying handle then 
printing may not be done correctly.
zIf the print receptacle cover comes off, insert the 
shaft on the right side of the cover into the 
printer ( ) and then align the tip of the spring 
on the left side of the cover with the groove on 
the printer ( ). If the print receptacle cover is 
not attached during printing, paper that is 
finished printing may get jammed inside the 
printer. 
zDo not close the print receptacle cover when 
printing. If closed accidentally, press the print 
receptacle button to open the print receptacle 
cover. 
zDo not insert foreign objects into the print receptacle. 
zDo not open the cartridge cover during printing. 
If you do so, printing will stop and the paper currently being printed will not be completely 
printed.
Cartridge
zPlease use only the cartridge type specified for use by Canon.
zDo not touch or pull on the ink sheet.
There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the set.
zDo not handle the cartridge with wet or sweaty hands.
zDo not apply excessive force to the cartridge.
zDo not remove the protective paper from the cartridge or do not press down hard on the 
paper. 
Force or impact on the paper may result in paper jams or equipment damage.

Paper
zDo not touch the paper while it is being printed.
During printing, the sheet repeatedly moves back and forth along the top of the print 
receptacle and in and out through the paper-handling slot. Please do not touch the sheet 
during this process as this could damage the printer.
zDo not allow too many sheets to accumulate in the print receptacle during printing. 
Do not allow more than 50 sheets to accumulate in the print receptacle.
Prints
zPlease avoid the following actions as they may result in color change, color fading or 
color bleeding.
• Sticking any type of adhesive tape onto the print surface.
• Allowing print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl materials.
• Applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to the print surface.
• Leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against any other surfaces or objects for prolonged periods.
zIf you wish to mount prints into an album, select an album with nylon-based sleeves, or 
with propylene or cellophane sleeves.
Other types of sleeves may cause color loss or color bleeding.
zTo avoid print quality deterioration, do not store your prints in the following types of 
locations.
• Locations that reach temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)
• Humid or dusty locations
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
zColor change may occur over time in accordance with conditions of storage. Canon 
assumes no liability for color changes.
