Connection Methods Available on the Printer
The following connection methods are available on the printer.

Wireless Connection

With an access point

Without an access point

USB Connection

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

If you have an access point (or wireless network router), it is recommended that you use the method
described in Connection Using an Access Point.

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 an Access Point

• Connect the printer and a device using an access point.

• Connection methods vary depending on the access point type.
• You can change network settings such as the SSID and security protocol on the printer.
• When the connection between a device and an access point is completed and (Wi-Fi icon) is
displayed in the device's screen, you can connect the device to the printer using the access point.

24
Connection without Using an Access Point

• Connect the printer and a device without using an access point. Connect a device and the printer
directly using the printer's access point mode function.
• When establishing a connection in access point mode, Internet connection may become unavailable.
In that case, web services for the printer cannot be used.
• If you connect a device connected to the Internet via an access point to the printer that is in access
point mode, the connection between the device and access point will be disabled. In that case, the
connection of the device may switch to a mobile data connection automatically depending on your
device. Transmission fees for connecting to the Internet using a mobile data connection apply.
• In access point mode, you can connect up to five devices at the same time. If you try to connect a
sixth device while five devices are already connected, an error will appear.
If an error appears, disconnect a device that does not use the printer, then configure settings again.
• Network settings such as the SSID and security protocol can be changed on the printer.

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 Wired Network cannot be performed on printers that do not support a wired
connection.

Connection Using an Access Point

• Make sure that a device and an access point (or wireless network router) are connected. For details
on how to check the settings, refer to the manual supplied with the access point or contact its
manufacturer.
As for a device already connected to the printer without using an access point, reconnect it via an
access point.
• The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary
depending on your system environment. For details, refer to the manual of your network device or
contact its manufacturer.
• Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n (2.4 GHz), IEEE802.11g or IEEE802.11b.
• If your device is set to the "IEEE802.11n only" mode, WEP or TKIP cannot be used as a security
protocol. Change the security protocol for your device to something other than WEP and TKIP or
change the setting to something other than "IEEE802.11n only."
The connection between your device and the access point will be temporarily disabled while changing
the setting. Do not operate the screen of this guide until the setup is complete.
• For office use, consult your network administrator.
• Take added care when connecting to a network that is not protected with security measures, as there
is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.

Connection without Using an Access Point

Important
• If you connect a device connected to the Internet via an access point to the printer that is in access
point mode, the connection between the device and access point will be disabled. In that case, the
connection of the device may switch to a mobile data connection automatically depending on your
device. When you connect to the Internet using a mobile data connection, charges may apply
depending on your contract.

• When you connect a device and the printer in access point mode, the connection information will
be saved to Wi-Fi settings. The device may be connected to the printer automatically even after
disconnecting it or connecting it to another access point.
• You cannot connect to an access point and the printer that is in access point mode at the same
time. If you have an access point, it is recommended that you use the access point to connect to
the printer.
• To prevent automatic connection to the printer that is in access point mode, change the
connection mode after using the printer, or set not to connect automatically in the Wi-Fi settings
of the device.
For details on how to change the settings of a device, refer to the manual supplied with the
device or contact its manufacturer.

28
 • When connecting a device and the printer in access point mode, Internet connection may become
unavailable. In that case, web services for the printer cannot be used.
• In access point mode, you can connect up to five devices at the same time. If you try to connect a
sixth device while five devices are already connected, an error will appear.
If an error appears, disconnect a device that does not use the printer, then configure settings again.
• Devices connected to the printer in access point mode cannot communicate with each other.
• Firmware updates for the printer are not available while using the access point mode.
• When a device has been connected to the printer without using an access point and you want to set it
up again using the same connection method, disconnect it first. Disable the connection between the
device and printer in the Wi-Fi setting screen.

Connection Using a Wired Network

• This printer cannot be used over wireless and wired connections at the same time.
• When using a router, connect the printer and a device to the LAN side (same network segment).

Printing Area
To ensure the best print quality, the printer 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
• 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:

• Glossy Photo Paper "Everyday Use" <GP-501/GP-601>

• Photo Paper Glossy <GP-601>
• Photo Paper Plus Glossy II <PP-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
printing.

• Borderless Printing is not available for legal, A5, or B5 sized paper, or envelopes.
• Depending on the type of paper, Borderless Printing may reduce the print quality at the top and bottom
edges of the paper or cause these parts to become smudged.

Replacing an Ink Tank

Replacing an Ink Tank

Checking the Ink Status

124
Replacing an Ink Tank
When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the Alarm lamp will flash to inform you of the error. Count the
number of flashes and take appropriate action.

If an Error Occurs

Note
• If print results become faint or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see Maintenance
Procedure.

Replacing Procedure
When you need to replace an ink tank, follow the procedure below.

Important
• If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the printer with the ink tank removed.
• Use a new ink tank for replacement. Installing a used ink tank may cause the nozzles to clog.
Furthermore, with such an ink tank, the printer will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink
tank properly.
• Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open.
This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the printer may not operate properly when it is reinstalled.
To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.

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

Every ink is also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the print head, which may
be necessary to maintain the performance of the printer. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it
immediately with a new one.

Useful Information about Ink

1. Make sure that the power is turned on.

2. Open the print head cover.

The print head holder moves to the replacement position.

125
 Caution
• Do not hold the print head holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the print head holder
until it stops completely.

Important
• Do not place any object on the print head cover. It will fall into the rear tray when the print head
cover is opened and cause the printer to malfunction.
• Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the printer.
• If the print head cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the print head holder moves to the
right. In this case, close and reopen the print head cover.

3. Remove the ink tank with the lamp flashing fast.

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 printer has the function to automatically clean the ink jet nozzles to prevent clogging. In the cleaning
procedure, ink is pumped out from the nozzles. 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.

The ink lamp indicates when ink is running low.

You can confirm the status of each ink tank by the ink lamps. Open the print head cover of the printer to
confirm how the ink lamps light or flash.

When the ink is running low, the ink lamp flashes slowly (about 3-second interval) to indicate that the ink
is running low.

Then, when the ink runs out, the ink lamp flashes fast (about 1-second interval) to indicate that the ink
tank needs to be replaced with a new one.

Checking the Ink Status with the Ink Lamps

218
Key Points to Successful Printing

Check the printer 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 printer 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 printer with Bottom Plate Cleaning.

Set the paper thickness lever according to type of loaded paper.

Set this lever to the right for normal use.

Set this lever to the left when printing on thick paper such as envelopes.

Loading Envelopes

Check how to load the paper correctly!

• Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?

To load paper in the rear tray, load paper WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.

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

219
Be Sure to Make Paper Settings after Loading Paper
If the media type setting is not the one for the loaded paper, printing results may not be satisfactory. After
loading paper, be sure to select the appropriate media type setting for the loaded paper.

Print Results Not Satisfactory

There are various types of paper: paper with special coating on the surface for printing photos with optimal
quality and paper suitable for documents.
Each media type has specific preset settings, such as how ink is used and sprayed, so that you can print on
that type with optimal image quality.

This allows you to print with the settings best suited for the loaded media type just by selecting that media
type.

220
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 printer and you may not be able to continue to print.

Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel printing.

221
Printer Handling Precautions

Do not place any object on the print head cover!

Do not place any object on the print head cover. It will fall into the rear tray when the print head cover is
opened and cause the printer to malfunction. Also, place the printer where objects will not fall on it.

222
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.

Never unplug the power cord until the power is turned off!
If you press the ON button to turn off the power, the printer 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 not lit,
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.

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 printer has not been used for a long time.

We recommend you to use the printer at least once a month.

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.

223
Precautions for Safe Transport of the Printer
When relocating the printer, make sure of the following.

Important
• Pack the printer in a sturdy box, using sufficient protective material to ensure safe transport.
• With the print head and ink tank left installed in the printer, press the ON button to turn off the power.
This allows the printer to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying.
• Do not transport or store the printer with the front of printer (the paper output slot cover side) down as
shown below.

• Before shipping the printer by a delivery service:

• Tape the lid of the box securely with strong tape.

• Clearly label the box as "FRAGILE" or "HANDLE WITH CARE".

1. Turn the printer off.

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

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

3. Retract the paper support, then close the rear tray cover and paper output slot cover.

4. Unplug the printer cable from the computer and from the printer, then unplug the universal
AC adapter from the printer.
When the battery is not used for a long period of time (6 months or longer), remove the battery from the
printer. For details on how to remove the battery, refer to the battery's instruction manual.

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

6. Attach the protective material to both sides of the printer when packing the printer in the
box.

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 Mac OS, a color management system called "ColorSync" 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 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 (Specifying an ICC Profile from the Application Software)
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.

261
Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver
You can specify the color correction function of the printer driver to print 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. Select Color Matching from the pop-up menu of the Print Dialog

2. Select color correction

Select Canon Color Matching.

3. Set the other items

From the pop-up menu, select Color Options. If necessary, adjust the color balance (Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow) and adjust Brightness, Intensity, and Contrast settings.

4. Complete the setup

Click Print.
When you execute print, the printer driver adjusts the colors when printing the data.

Printing with ICC Profiles (Specifying an ICC Profile from the
Application Software)
When you print from Adobe Photoshop, Canon Digital Photo Professional, or any application software that
can identify input ICC profiles and allows you to specify such profiles, printer uses the color management
system (ColorSync) built-into Mac OS when printing. The printer prints the editing and touch-up results of
the application software and effectively uses 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.

1. Select Color Matching from the pop-up menu of the Print Dialog

2. Select color correction

Select ColorSync.
You can leave Profile set to Automatic.

Important
• Depending on the application software you use, you may not be able to select setting items other
than ColorSync.
• If you choose a Profile setting other than Automatic, the printer will not be able to print with the
correct colors.

3. Complete the setup

Click Print.

Paper Does Not Feed Properly/"No Paper" Error Occurs

Check1 Make sure that paper is loaded.

Loading Paper

Check2 Make sure of the following when you load paper.

• When loading two or more sheets of paper, flip through the paper before loading.

• When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading.

• When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper load
limit.
However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of
paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce
the sheets of paper you load at a time to less than half of the paper load limit.

• Always load the paper in portrait orientation, regardless of the printing orientation.
• When you load the paper, load the paper with the print side facing UP. Align the paper stack against the
right side of the rear tray and slide the paper guide so that it just touches the left edge of the stack.
Loading Paper

Check3 Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.
Media Types You Cannot Use

Check4 Make sure of the following when you load Hagakis or envelopes.
• If a Hagaki is curled, it may not feed properly even though the paper stack does not exceed the paper load
limit.

Load Hagakis with a zip code column downward.

• When printing on envelopes, refer to Loading Paper, and prepare the envelopes before printing.

Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed in
landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.

Check5 Confirm that the media type and the paper size settings correspond with the
loaded paper.

Check6 Make sure that there are not any foreign objects in the rear tray.

330
If the paper tears in the rear tray, see Paper Jams to remove it.
If there are any foreign objects in the rear tray, be sure to turn off the printer, unplug it from the power supply,
then remove the foreign object.

If you use a battery, turn off the printer, detach the battery, then remove the foreign object.

Check7 Clean the paper feed roller.

Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller

Note
• Cleaning the paper feed roller will wear the roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.

331
Printing Stops Before It Is Completed

Check1 Is the paper loaded?

Make sure that paper is loaded.

If the printer has run out of paper, load paper.

Check2 Do the printing documents have lots of photographs or illustrations?

As printing large data such as photos or graphics takes time for the printer and the computer to process, the
printer may appear to have stopped operating.
In addition, when printing data that uses a large amount of ink continuously on plain paper, the printer may
pause temporarily. In either case, wait until the process is complete.

Note
• If you are printing a document with a large printing area or printing multiple copies of a document, printing
may pause to allow the ink to dry.

Check3 Has the printer been printing continuously for a long period?
If the printer has been printing continuously for a long time, the print head or other parts around it may overheat.
The printer may stop printing at a line break for a period of time and then resume printing.
In this case, wait for a while without operation. If the printing still does not resume, interrupt your print session at
a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes.

Caution
• The print head and the surrounding area can become extremely hot inside the printer. Never touch the
print head or nearby components.

332
Problems with Printing Quality

Print Results Not Satisfactory

Ink Is Not Ejected

333
Print Results Not Satisfactory
If the print result is not satisfactory due to white streaks, misaligned lines, or uneven colors, confirm the
paper and print quality settings first.

Check1 Do the page size and media type settings match the size and type of the loaded
paper?
When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result.
If you are printing a photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type settings may reduce the quality of the
printout color.
Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched.

In borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type setting and
the loaded paper.
The method of confirming the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you do with your printer.

To print from a PictBridge (Wireless LAN) Confirm by using your PictBridge (Wireless LAN) compliant device.

Check3 Load the paper after correcting its curl.

We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keeping it on a level surface.

• For Plain Paper

Turn the paper over and reload it to print on the other side.

Leaving the paper loaded on the rear tray for a long time may cause the paper to curl. In this case, load the
paper with the other side facing up. It may resolve the problem.

• For Other Paper

If the curl on the four corners of the paper is more than 0.1 inch / 3 mm (A) in height, the paper may be
smudged or may not be fed properly. In such cases, follow the procedure described below to correct the
paper curl.

340
 1. Roll up the paper in the opposite direction to the paper curl as shown below.

2. Check that the paper is now flat.

We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one sheet at a time.

Note
• Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed properly even if it is not
curled inward. In such cases, follow the procedure described below to curl the paper outward within 0.1
inch / 3 mm (B) in height before printing. This may improve the print result.

(C) Printing side

We recommend printing paper that has been curled outward one sheet at a time.

Check4 Is the paper thickness lever set properly?

Adjust the position of the paper thickness lever properly according to the type of paper you are printing on.

For details on how to load paper or the position of the paper thickness lever:

Loading Paper

Depending on the printing content, the printing surface may become scratched or the corners or edges of the
paper may become smudged even for the types of paper to set the lever to the right. In this case, set the paper
thickness lever to the left.

341
Reset the paper thickness lever to the right when you finish printing. If the paper thickness lever is not set back
to the right, the inside of the printer is more likely to get dirty due to the wider clearance between the print head
and the loaded paper. It may also reduce print quality.

Check5 If the intensity is set high, reduce the intensity setting and try printing again.
If you are using plain paper to print images with high intensity, the paper may absorb too much ink and become
wavy, causing paper abrasion.

Reduce the intensity setting in the printer driver and try printing again.
