Wireless Connection
There are two methods for connecting the printer to your device (such as a smartphone). One method is
to connect using a wireless router, and the other method is to connect without using a wireless router.
The two connection methods cannot be used at the same time.

If you have a wireless router, it is recommended that you use the method described in Connection Using a
Wireless Router.

When connecting another device while a device is already connected to the printer, connect it using the
same connection method as the connected device.
If you connect using a different connection method, the connection to the device in use will be disabled.

Connection Using a Wireless Router

• Connect the printer and a device using a wireless router.

• Connection methods vary depending on the wireless router type.
• You can change network settings such as the SSID and security protocol on the printer.

Power Consumption and Activation Time

The amount of electricity a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This product is
designed and set in a way to allow you to reduce your electricity costs. After the last print it switches to
Ready Mode. In this mode it can print again immediately if required. If the product is not used for a time,
the device switches to its Power Save Mode. The devices consume less power (Watt) in these modes.
If you wish to set a longer Activation Time or would like to completely deactivate the Power Save Mode,
please consider that this device may then only switch to a lower energy level after a longer period of
time or not at all.
Canon does not recommend extending the Activation Times from the optimum ones set as default.

Printing Area
To ensure the best print quality, the machine allows a margin along each edge of media. The actual
printable area will be the area inside these margins.

Recommended printing area : Canon recommends that you print within this area.

Printable area : The area where it is possible to print. However, printing in this area can affect the print
quality or the paper feed precision.

Note
• When performing borderless copying, you can specify the amount of images that extends off the paper
by Extended copy amt. in Output settings.

Output settings

• By selecting Borderless Printing option, you can make prints with no margins.
• When performing Borderless Printing, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the printed image is
enlarged to fill the whole page.
• For Borderless Printing, use the following paper:

• Photo Paper Pro Platinum <PT-101>

• Glossy Photo Paper "Everyday Use" <GP-501/GP-601>
• Photo Paper Glossy <GP-601>
• Photo Paper Plus Glossy II <PP-201>
• Photo Paper Pro Luster <LU-101>
• Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss <SG-201>
• Matte Photo Paper <MP-101>

Performing Borderless Printing on any other type of paper may substantially reduce printing quality
and/or result in printouts with altered color hues.

Borderless Printing on plain paper may result in printouts with reduced quality. Use them only for test

Notes on FINE cartridges

Important
• Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzle (B) on a FINE cartridge. The machine
may not print properly if you touch them.

• If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with the FINE
cartridge removed.
• Use a new FINE cartridge for replacement. Installing a used FINE cartridge may cause the nozzles to
clog.

Furthermore, with such a FINE cartridge, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace
the FINE cartridge properly.
• Once a FINE cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the
open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it
is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE cartridge within six months of first use.

Note
• If a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either color or black FINE cartridge, in whichever
ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality may be reduced compared to when printing
with both cartridges. We recommend to use a new FINE cartridge in order to obtain optimum
qualities.

Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE cartridge installed. If either of
the color FINE cartridge or black FINE cartridge is not installed, an error occurs and the machine
cannot print.

For information on how to configure this setting, see Setting the Ink Cartridge to be Used.

• Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-
white printing is specified.

Both color ink and black ink are also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the
print head, which may be necessary to maintain the performance of the machine. When ink runs out,
replace the FINE cartridge immediately with a new one.

When is displayed in Connection Performance between the Printer and the Wireless Router:,
the printer can communicate with the wireless router. Otherwise, refer to displayed comments and the
following to improve the status of communication link, and click Remeasurement.
• Check that the printer and the wireless router are located within the wireless connectivity range
with no obstacles between them.
• Check if the distance between the printer and the wireless router is not too far.

If they are too far, move them closer together (within 164 ft. / 50 m).
• Check that there is no barrier or obstacle between the printer and the wireless router.

In general, connection performance decreases for communications through walls or between

different floors. Adjust the locations to avoid such situations.
• Check that there are no sources of radio interference near the printer and the wireless router.

245
 The wireless connection may use the same frequency band as microwave ovens and other
sources of radio interference. Try to keep the printer and the wireless router away from such
sources.
• Check if the radio channel of the wireless router is close to that of other wireless routers nearby.

If the radio channel of the wireless router is close to that of other wireless routers nearby, the
connection performance may become unstable. Be sure to use a radio channel that does not
interfere with other wireless routers.
• Check that the printer and the wireless router face each other.

Connection performance may depend on the orientations of the wireless devices. Replace the
wireless router and the printer in another direction to achieve the best performance.
• Check whether other computers are not accessing the printer.

If appears in the result of the measurement, check whether other computers are not accessing
the printer.

If still appears even if you have tried the above, finish the measurement, then restart the IJ Network
Tool to start over the measurement.

Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network

Mounting the Card Slot as the Network Drive

The card slot must be mounted to use it over a network.

To mount the card slot as the network drive, follow the procedure below.

1. Insert a memory card into the card slot of the machine.

2. Start up IJ Network Tool.

3. Select the machine in Printers:.

4. Select Maintenance... on the Settings menu.

5. Click Setup.

6. Specify the drive letter, then click OK.

287
 7. Make sure that the card slot is mounted.
When the card slot is mounted, the following icon appears on Computer (or My Computer).

Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network

• The card slot can be shared by multiple computers, if the machine is connected to a network. Multiple
computers can read files from a memory card in the card slot at the same time. However, while one
computer is writing a file into a memory card, other computers cannot access the same file.

• If your computer joins a domain, the card slot may not be mounted as the network drive.
• If you use the memory card stored the large size files or many files, a large amount of card access
may be generated. In this case, the operation in the memory card may be impossible or slow. Operate
after the Access lamp of the machine is lit.

• When you access the network drive for the card slot over the network, file names consisting of eight
or less lowercase letters (not including its extension) may be shown in uppercase.

For example, a file name such as "abcdefg.doc" will be "ABCDEFG.DOC", while a name such as
"AbcdeFG.doc" will appear the same.

The file is not actually renamed, but merely appears to be changed.

• When you enable a memory card in the card slot of the machine to be writable only from a USB-
connected computer, you cannot access the network drive of the card slot. On the other hand, when
you enable it to be writable only from a LAN-connected computer, the card slot is not detected via
USB. Make sure that the card slot setting is selected properly according to your connection method.

To read files from a memory card via USB and over a network, disable the function to write files to a
memory card from a computer. You cannot write files to a memory card in either way with this setting.

• When you enable a memory card in the card slot of the machine to be writable only from a LAN-
connected computer, you can write files to a memory card from a computer connected to a network.
Note that it may increase the risk that the data on the memory card is infected by computer viruses or
accessed illegally.

We recommend to use the access control function of the machine or connect to the Internet via a
router. For information on using a router, contact your Internet service provider or a network device
manufacturer.
• If you write files to a memory card over a network when IJ Network Scanner Selector EX is not
running, the Date Modified of the files may not be proper. Make sure to start up IJ Network Scanner
Selector EX before you write files to a memory card over the network. For details, refer to "IJ Network
Scanner Selector EX Menu and Setting Screen" from the HOME of your product's Online Manual.

Precautions When a Firewall Function is Enabled

• A firewall function may limit communications between a printer and a computer. This may disable
printer setup and communications.

• During the printer setup, you may be prompted to enable or disable communications, depending on
the firewall function of the security software or operation system. If so, choose to enable
communications.

• When using IJ Network Tool, you may be prompted to enable or disable communications, depending
on the firewall function of the security software. If so, choose to enable communications.
• If you cannot set up the printer, temporarily disable the firewall function of the security software or
operation system.

Important
• If you disabled the firewall function, disconnect your network from the Internet.

• Some applications (like the network configuration software) override firewall settings. Check the
application's settings beforehand.

• If the printer you use is set to Get IP address automatically, the IP address changes every time the
printer connects to the network. This may disable printer setup and communications, depending on
the firewall settings. In this case, either change the firewall settings or assign a fixed IP address to the
printer. An IP address can be set using IJ Network Tool.

Changing the Settings in the Wireless LAN Sheet

Changing the Settings in the Wired LAN Sheet

When assigning a fixed IP address to the printer, you will need to specify an IP address with which the
computer can communicate.

Useful Information about Ink

How is ink used for various purposes other than printing?

Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. Ink is not only used for printing, but also for cleaning the
print head to maintain the optimal printing quality.

The machine has the function to automatically clean the ink jet nozzles to prevent clogging. In the
cleaning procedure, used ink for nozzle cleaning is limited to a small amount.

Does black-and-white printing use color ink?

Black-and-white printing may use ink other than black ink depending on the type of printing paper or the
settings of the printer driver. So, color ink is consumed even when printing in black-and-white.

299
Key Points to Successful Printing

Check the machine status before printing!

• Is the print head OK?

If a print head nozzle is clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle check
pattern to check the print head.

Maintenance Procedure

• Is the inside of the machine smeared with ink?

After printing large quantities of paper or performing borderless printing, the area where papers go
through may get smeared with ink. Clean the inside of your machine with Bottom Plate Cleaning.

Check how to load the paper correctly!

• Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?

To load paper in the cassette, load paper WITH THE PRINTING SIDE FACING DOWN.

Loading Paper

• Is the paper curled?

The curled paper causes paper jam. Flatten the curled paper, then reload it.

"Load the paper after correcting its curl." in Paper Is Smudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched

300
Be Sure to Check Paper Settings before Printing
Before printing, make paper settings in the operation panel or the computer screen.

There are various types of paper, such as paper with a special surface coating for printing photos at optimal
quality and paper suitable for documents.

Each media type has specific preset settings (how ink is used and sprayed, distance from nozzles, etc.), that
allow you to print to that type with optimal image quality. The wrong paper settings may cause poor printout
color quality or scratches on the printed surface.

If you notice blurring or uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.

301
Be Sure to Set Cassette Paper Information after Loading Paper
When you insert a cassette into the machine after loading paper, the screen for setting the type and size of
paper is displayed. Set the cassette paper information according to the type and size of loaded paper.

To prevent incorrect printing, this machine has a function that detects whether the information set for the
paper loaded in the cassette matches the paper settings. Before printing, make paper settings in
accordance with the cassette paper information. When this function is enabled, an error message is
displayed if these settings do not match to prevent incorrect printing. When this error message is displayed,
check and correct the paper settings.

To check cassette paper information, display the paper information screen on the operation panel.

302
Canceling a Print Job

Never press the ON button!

If you press the ON button while printing is in progress, the print data sent from the computer queues in
the machine and you may not be able to continue to print.

Press the Stop button to cancel printing.

303
Storing Printed Images
Store printed images in albums, clear photo sleeves, or glass frames to protect them from direct exposure to
air.

Note
• Storing printed images without sufficient drying may cause blurring or discoloration.

304
Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing Quality
The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging.
Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality.

Note
• Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or paint-
stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.

Never unplug the power cord until the power is turned off!
If you press the ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the print head (nozzles) automatically
to prevent from drying. If you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before the POWER lamp is
turned off, the print head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging.
When unplugging the power cord, make sure that the POWER lamp is not lit.

Important
• If the power cord is unplugged, the date/time settings will be reset and all documents stored in the
machine's memory will be lost. Send or print a necessary document before unplugging the power
cord.

Print periodically!
Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is
capped, the print head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not been used for a long
time. We recommend you to use the machine at least once a month.

305
Precautions for Safe Transport of the Machine
When relocating the machine, make sure of the following.

Important
• Pack the machine in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficient
protective material to ensure safe transport.
• With the FINE cartridge left installed in the machine, press the ON button to turn off the power. This
allows the machine to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying.
• After packing, do not tilt the box containing the machine or turn it on its side or upside down. Doing so
may cause the ink to leak during transport and cause damage to the machine.
• When a shipping agent is handling transport of the machine, have its box marked "THIS SIDE UP" to
keep the machine with its bottom facing down. Mark also with "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".

1. Turn the machine off.

2. Confirm that the POWER lamp is off and unplug the power cord.

Important
• Do not unplug the machine while the POWER lamp is lit or flashing, as it may cause malfunction
or damage to the machine, making the machine unable to print.

3. Retract the paper output support with the output tray extension closed.

4. Close the front cover.

5. Unplug the printer cable from the computer and from the machine, then unplug the power
cord from the machine.

6. Use adhesive tape to secure all the covers on the machine to keep them from opening
during transportation. Then pack the machine in the plastic bag.

7. Attach the protective material to the machine when packing the machine in the box.

Important
• We recommend to hold and carry out this machine as shown in the figure below. If you hold the
front cover or the cassette, it may fall out of the machine.

329
Setting the Stapling Margin

The procedure for setting the staple side and the margin width is as follows:

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Specify the side to be stapled

Check the position of the stapling margin from Stapling Side on the Page Setup tab.
The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best
staple position. When you want to change the setting, select from the list.

3. Set the margin width

If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the margin width, and then click OK.

330
 Note
• The printer automatically reduces the print area depending on the staple position margin.

4. Complete the setup

Click OK on the Page Setup tab.
When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified staple side and margin width.

Important
• Stapling Side and Specify Margin... appear grayed out and are unavailable when:

• Scaled is selected for Page Layout (When Duplex Printing (Manual) is also selected, only
Stapling Side can be specified.)

331
Execute Borderless Printing
The borderless printing function allows you to print data without any margin by enlarging the data so that it
extends slightly off the paper. In standard printing, margins are created around the document area.
However, in borderless printing function, these margins are not created. When you want to print data such
as a photo without providing any margin around it, set borderless printing.

The procedure for performing borderless printing is as follows:

You can also set borderless printing in Additional Features on the Quick Setup tab.

Setting Borderless Printing

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Set borderless printing

Select Borderless from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup tab.

Click OK when the confirmation message appears.

When a message prompting you to change the media type appears, select a media type from the list
and click OK.

332
 Check the Page Size list. When you want to change it, select another page size from the list. The list
displays only sizes that can be used for borderless printing.

4. Adjust the amount of extension from the paper

If necessary, adjust the amount of extension using the Amount of Extension slider.
Moving the slider to the right increases the amount extending off the paper, and moving the slider to
the left decreases the amount.
It is recommended to set the slider at the second position from the right for most cases.

Important
• When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the rightmost position, the back side of the
paper may become smudged.

5. Complete the setup

Click OK.
When you execute print, the data is printed without any margins on the paper.

Important
• When a page size that cannot be used for borderless printing is selected, the size is automatically
changed to the valid page sizes for borderless printing.
• When Borderless is selected, the Printer Paper Size, Duplex Printing (Manual), Stapling Side
settings, and the Stamp/Background... (Stamp...) button on the Page Setup tab appear grayed out
and are unavailable.
• When Envelope, or High Resolution Paper is selected from the Media Type list on the Main tab,
you cannot perform borderless printing.
• Depending on the type of the media used during borderless printing, the print quality may deteriorate
at the top and bottom of the sheet or stains may form.
• When the ratio of the height to the width differs from the image data, a portion of the image may not
be printed depending on the size of the media used.
In this case, crop the image data with an application software according to the paper size.

Note
• When Plain Paper is selected for Media Type on the Main tab, borderless printing is not
recommended. Therefore, the message for media selection appears.
When you are using plain paper for test printing, select Plain Paper, and click OK.

Expanding the Range of the Document to Print

Setting a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems. However,
the portion of the document extending off the paper range will not be printed and for this reason, the
subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not be printed.

When you are not satisfied with the result of borderless printing, reduce the amount of extension. The
extension amount decreases as the Amount of Extension slider is moved to the left.

333
 Important
• When the amount of extension is decreased, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print,
depending on the size of the paper.

Note
• When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the leftmost position, image data will be printed in the
full size.
• When Preview before printing is checked on the Main tab, you can confirm whether there will be no
margin before printing.

Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data
When people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones differ
from those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor.
To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing method
that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose.

Color Management
Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently. Color
management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent "colors" as a common color
space.

For Windows, a color management system called "ICM" is built into the operating system.
Adobe RGB and sRGB are popularly used as common color spaces. Adobe RGB has a wider color space
than sRGB.

ICC profiles convert device-dependent "colors" into a common color space. By using an ICC profile and
carrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the image data within the color
reproduction area that the printer can express.

Selecting a Printing Method Suited to the Image Data

The recommended printing method depends on the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data
or the application software to be used.

There are two typical printing methods.

Check the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data and the application software to be used,
and then select the printing method suited to your purpose.
Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver
Describes the procedure for printing sRGB data by using the color correction function of the printer
driver.
• To print using Canon Digital Photo Color

The printer prints data with color tints that most people prefer, reproducing colors of the original
image data and producing three-dimensional effects and high, sharp contrasts.
• To print by directly applying editing and touch-up results of an application software

When printing the data, the printer brings out subtle color difference between dark and light
areas, while leaving the darkest and lightest areas intact.
When printing the data, the printer applies fine adjustment results, such as brightness
adjustments made with an application software.

Printing with ICC Profiles

Describes the procedure for printing by using the color space of Adobe RGB or sRGB effectively.
You can print with a common color space by setting up the application software and the printer driver
so that the color management matches the input ICC profile of the image data.
The method for setting up the printer driver differs depending on the application software to be used.

372
Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver
You can specify the color correction function of the printer driver to print sRGB data with color tints that most
people prefer through the use of Canon Digital Photo Color.
When printing from an application software that can identify ICC profiles and allows you to specify them, use
a printing ICC profile in the application software, and select settings for color management.

The procedure for adjusting colors with the printer driver is as follows:

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Select the manual color adjustment

On the Main tab, select Manual for Color/Intensity, and click Set....
The Manual Color Adjustment dialog box opens.

3. Select color correction

Click Matching tab, and select Driver Matching for Color Correction.

4. Set the other items

If necessary, click Color Adjustment tab, and adjust the color balance (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) and
adjust Brightness, Intensity, and Contrast settings, and then click OK.

5. Complete the setup

Printing with ICC Profiles
When the image data has a specified input ICC profile, you can print by using the color space (Adobe RGB
or sRGB) of the data effectively.

The printer driver setting procedure varies depending on the application software used to print.

Specify an ICC Profile from the Application Software and Print the Data
When you print the editing and touch-up results of Adobe Photoshop, Canon Digital Photo Professional,
or any application software that allows you to specify input and printing ICC profiles, you print by
effectively using the color space of the input ICC profile specified in the image data.

To use this printing method, use your application software to select color management items and specify
an input ICC profile and a printing ICC profile in the image data.
Even if you print using a printing ICC profile that you created yourself from your application software, be
sure to select color management items from your application software.
For instructions, refer to the manual of the application software you are using.

Canon IJ Printer Driver
The Canon IJ printer driver (called printer driver below) is a software that is installed on your computer for
printing data with this printer.

The printer driver converts the print data created by your application software into data that your printer can
understand, and sends the converted data to the printer.

Because different models support different print data formats, you need a printer driver for the specific
model you are using.

Printer Driver Types

On Windows Vista SP1 or later, you can install the XPS printer driver in addition to the regular printer
driver.
The XPS printer driver is suited to print from an application software that supports XPS printing.

Important
• To use the XPS printer driver, the standard printer driver must already be installed on your computer.

Installing the Printer Driver

• To install the regular printer driver, load the Setup CD-ROM that comes with the printer, and then
install the driver from Start Setup Again.
• To install the XPS printer driver, load the Setup CD-ROM that comes with the printer, and then select
XPS Driver from Add Software.

Specifying the Printer Driver

To specify the printer driver, open the Print dialog box of the application software you are using, and
select "XXX Printer" (where "XXX" is your model name) to specify the regular printer driver or select "XXX
Printer XPS" (where "XXX" is your model name) to specify the XPS printer driver.

Displaying the Manual from the Printer Driver

To display a description of a tab in the printer driver setup window, click the Help button found on the tab.

alignment, but you can change it to manual head alignment.
If the printing results of automatic print head alignment are not satisfactory, perform manual head
alignment.
Check this check box to perform the manual head alignment.

Select this check box only if the printer is feeding multiple sheets of plain paper at the same time.
Important

Don't detect mismatch of paper settings when printing from computer

When you print documents from your computer and the paper settings on the printer driver and the
cassette paper information registered on the printer do not match, this setting disables the message
display and allows you to continue printing.
To disable detection of paper setting mismatches, select this check box.

Ink Drying Wait Time

The printer can pause before printing a subsequent page. Moving the slider to the right increases the
pause time, and moving the slider to the left decreases the time.
If the paper gets stained because the next page is ejected before the ink on the printed page dries,
increase the ink drying wait time.
Reducing the ink drying wait time speeds up printing.
