Solution
Adjusting the print settings according to your needs allows you to produce better quality prints.
CAUTION
- If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately switch the printer off and always unplug the printer. Contact your local Canon service representative.
- To avoid injury, never put your hand or fingers inside the printer while it is printing.
IMPORTANT
- If prints are unclear or specific colors are not reproduced even if there is plenty of ink, print head nozzles may be clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern, check the results, then perform print head cleaning.
- When printing in grayscale, depending on an image, the printing troubles may occur on the top and/or bottom edges of the paper such as uneven coloration or white streaks. In this case, we recommend printing with the top and bottom margins of the paper set to more than 45 mm / 1.77 inches using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided on the Setup CD-ROM or your page layout software. When using a page layout software or the like, prepare paper whose longer side is at least 90 mm / 3.54 inches longer than the length of the image, then print it with the top and bottom margins set to more than 45 mm / 1.77 inches.
- You can use Easy-PhotoPrint or Easy-PhotoPrint Pro to easily do print operations when printing photographs. Easy-PhotoPrint and Easy-PhotoPrint Pro are provided on the Setup CD-ROM.
