Solution
Follow the below steps to print with your new SELPHY CP1000 photo printer.
Prepare for printing as follows. This example shows a Postcard-size Color Ink / Paper Set (sold separately) but the same steps are followed for other sizes.
Avoid getting dust on ink sheets or paper, which may cause banding or damage the printer.
1. Preparing the Ink Cassette.
Check the ink cassette and ink sheet.
-
Holding the ink cassette without touching the ink sheet, check the size (such as "Postcard Size" or "Card Size") to make sure it matches the size of paper you will print on. - Make sure the ink sheet is taut. Loose ink sheets may tear when loaded. If the sheet is loose, turn the sprocket as shown.
- For an ink cassette that has a lock on the bottom, press the lock (as shown) to release it as you turn the sprocket to make the sheet taut.
IMPORTANT
- Do not hold the ink cassette with wet hands. Avoid touching the ink sheet, and avoid getting dust on it. Dirt or moisture may cause banding or affect print quality, tear ink sheets and prevent printing, or damage the printer.
- When turning the sprocket, turn it gently, only until the sheet is taut. Forcing the sprocket or overtightening it may tear ink sheets and prevent printing, or SELPHY may run out of ink before paper.
- Never reuse ink cassettes, which may damage the printer or cause malfunction.
2. Preparing the Paper Cassette.
2-1. Check the paper size.
- Check the size on the paper cassette (such as "Postcard Size" or "Card Size") to make sure it matches the size of the ink cassette.
2-2. Open both covers.
- There are two layers of covers. First open the outer cover , and then the inner cover
.
2-3. Load the paper.
- Load the paper in the paper cassette.
- Holding the paper as shown, load it with the
glossy side up.
CAUTION
- Do not touch the glossy side of the paper, which may affect print quality.
- When making postcard prints with space for a stamp, load the paper with the stamp area facing as shown.
IMPORTANT
- Remove any protective sheets from the paper, and load only paper into the cassette.
- The paper cassette holds up to 18 sheets. Loading 19 or more sheets may damage the printer or cause malfunction.
2-4. Close the inner cover.
- Close the inner cover firmly until it clicks into place. Leave the outer cover open when printing.
IMPORTANT
- Use only paper in a genuine Canon Color Ink / Paper Set for SELPHY CP printers. Other paper, such as regular postcards or paper for SELPHY ES printers, cannot be used.
- Never do the following, which may damage the printer or cause malfunction.
- Loading paper upside-down, with the glossy and back sides reversed
- Bending or separating paper at the perforations before printing
- Using label paper whose upper label surface is peeling off or has been partially pulled up
- Writing on paper before printing
- Reusing paper, as by printing on blank areas
- Do not touch the springs on the paper cassette. Accidentally bending the springs may prevent efficient paper feeding.
- Note that one spring is attached in the center on the top of card-size paper cassettes.
- Avoid touching or rubbing the glossy, printing side of the paper. Do not handle paper with wet hands, and keep paper free of dust. Dirt or moisture may cause banding or affect print quality, or damage the printer.

Making sure the outer cover is open, insert the paper cassette all the way into the compartment.
4. Attach the Dust Protection Covers
REFERENCE
Attaching the dust protection covers will help keep paper clean and free of dust. Note that dust protection covers are not included in some regions.

- Insert the back dust protection cover as shown, by aligning with the
marks behind the printer.
4-2. Attaching the front cover.

- It may not be possible to keep paper free of dust outdoors or in dusty environments. Be careful about where you use the printer.
- Store the dust protection covers in a bag or other container to keep them free of dust.
5. Install and Plug in SELPHY
- Choose the right place to put SELPHY.
Minimum 10 cm (4 in.) More than length of paper

- Keep the printer away from sources of electromagnetism or strong magnetism.
- Leave at least 10 cm (4 in.) of open space around the printer.
- Leave more open space behind the printer than the length of paper used, so that the paper can pass in and out of the printer freely when printing.
