Replacing an Ink Tank
When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the Alarm lamp will flash orange to inform you of the error.
Refer to "Four flashes:" of "Alarm Lamp Flashes Orange" in " Troubleshooting " of the on-screen manual:
Advanced Guide , and take an appropriate action.

Note
Getting Started .
For information on the compatible ink tanks, refer to the printed manual:
When Printing
If print results become faint or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see
Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect .

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

Important
Handling Ink
If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the printer with ink tanks removed.
Use new ink tanks for replacement. Installing used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to clog.
Furthermore, with such ink tanks, the printer will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink
tanks 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-andwhite 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 printer's performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it
immediately with a new one.
For details, see Tips on How to Use Your Printer .

Tips on How to Use Your Printer
This section introduces the tips on how to use your printer and for printing with optimal quality.

Ink is used for various purposes.
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.

Why does the printer have two black ink tanks?
There are two kinds of black ink in the printer: dye ink (BK) and pigment ink (PGBK).

The dye ink is used mainly for printing photos, illustration, etc., and the pigment ink is used for textbased documents. Each has different purposes so that even if one runs out, another will not be
used instead. If either of them runs out, the ink tank replacement is required.
These two inks are automatically used depending on the type of printing paper or the settings of the
printer driver. You cannot change the usage of these inks yourself.

Ink lamp indicates when ink is running low.
The inside of the ink tank consists of (A) the part where ink is preserved and (B) the sponge with
absorbed ink.

When the ink (A) runs out, the ink lamp flashes slowly to indicate that the ink is running low. Then,
when the ink (B) runs out, the ink lamp flashes fast to indicate that the ink needs to be replaced with
a new one.
See Replacing an Ink Tank .

Printing on special paper: How to print with optimal quality!?
Tip!: Check the printer status before printing!
Is the Print Head ok?
If print head nozzles are clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle
check pattern to check the Print Head.
See When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect .

Is the inside of the printer smeared with ink?

Tips on How to Use Your Printer

Page 68 of 468 pages

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.
Refer to the on-screen manual: Advanced Guide .

Tip!: Check how to load the paper correctly!
Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?
When loading paper in the Rear Tray or Cassette, make sure the orientation of paper.

Cassette

Rear Tray
To load paper in the Rear Tray, load
paper with the printing side facing you.

To load paper in the Cassette, load paper with the
printing side facing down.

Is the paper curled?
The curled paper causes paper jam. Flatten the curled paper, then reload it.
Refer to " Troubleshooting" in the on-screen manual: Advanced Guide .

Tip!: After loading paper, be sure to specify the paper settings!
After loading paper, be sure to select the loaded paper in Media Type of the printer driver. If the type
of paper is not selected, you may not be able to get the satisfactory print result.
See Media Types You Can Use .

There are various types of paper: paper with special coating on the surface for printing photos with
optimal quality and paper suitable for documents. Media Type of the printer driver has different
settings for each type of paper in advance (such as using ink, ejecting ink, or distance from nozzles)
so that you can print on each paper with the optimal image quality. You can print with different
settings in Media Type suitable for each type of loaded paper.

Use the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel printing!
Tip!: 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.

Note
RESUME/CANCEL button while printing from a
If you cannot cancel printing by pressing the
computer, open the printer driver setup window to delete the unnecessary print jobs from the
printer status monitor.

Does the printer need to be handled with care when using or
transporting?
Tip!: Do not use or transport the printer vertically or slanted!
If the printer is used or transported vertically or slanted, the printer may become damaged or ink
may leak from the printer.

Tips on How to Use Your Printer
Be sure not to use or transport the printer vertically or slanted.

Tip!: Do not place any object on the Top Cover!
Do not place any object on the Top Cover. It will fall into the Rear Tray when the Top Cover is
opened and cause the printer to malfunction.
Also, place the printer where objects will not fall on it.

Tip!: Carefully choose the area to place the printer!
Place the printer at least 5.91 inches / 15 cm away from other electrical appliances such as
fluorescent lamps. If the printer is placed closer to those, it may not be able to work properly due to
fluorescent noises.

How to maintain the optimal printing quality?
The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the Print Head from drying or clogging.
Always follow the following steps for optimal printing quality.

Follow the procedure below to disconnect the power plug.
1. Press the ON button on the printer to turn it off.
2. Make sure that the POWER lamp is not lit.

3. Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.
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 disconnect the power plug 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.
To disconnect the power plug, be sure to follow this procedure.

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.

A095

How Can I Move (or Copy) the Saved File?
If you want to move (or copy) a file created and saved with Easy-PhotoPrint EX from one folder to another,
you need to move (or copy) the folder that was automatically created when originally saving that file as
well.
For example, when you save a file named "MyAlbum.el1," a folder named "MyAlbum.el1.Data" is
automatically created in the same folder that contains the "MyAlbum.el1" file. If you want to move (or copy)
the "MyAlbum.el1" file to another folder, move (or copy) the "MyAlbum.el1.Data" folder as well. The
"MyAlbum.el1.Data" folder contains the photos used in the album.

Note
The icons may vary depending on the items.

Important
Do not change the Data folder name; otherwise you will not be able to display the photos you edited
with Easy-PhotoPrint EX.
For PREMIUM Contents Print using premium content images, if you save the file and move it to
another computer, you will not be able to open the file.

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, and 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. Subjects around
the perimeter of a photo may not be printed.
Try borderless printing once. 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.

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.

P014

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.

the total color balance of the document. Use the application software when you want to change the color
balance significantly. Use the printer driver only when you want to adjust the color balance slightly.
The following sample shows the case when color balance is used to intensify cyan and to diminish
yellow so that the overall colors are more uniform.

Cautions When Printing on the Disc Label

Page 336 of 468 pages

Advanced Guide > About Disc Label Printing > Printing a Disc Label > Cautions When Printing on the Disc Label

D001

Cautions When Printing on the Disc Label
Be sure to use the Disc Tray supplied with this printer. It has an "G" on the upper side.
Do not print on printable discs that are not compatible with inkjet printing. The ink will not dry and
may cause problems with the disc itself or devices which the disc is loaded onto.
Do not print on the printable discs' recording surface. Doing so will make data recorded on discs
unreadable.
Hold the printable discs by their edges. Do not touch either the label surface (printing surface) or
recording surface.
Remove any dirt from the Disc Tray before placing printable discs on the Disc Tray. Loading discs in
a dirty Disc Tray may scratch the recording surface of the discs.
After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose
the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
Do not attach the Disc Tray while the printer is in operation.
Do not remove the Disc Tray while printing on printable discs. Doing so may damage the printer, the
Disc Tray, or the disc.
Do not get dirt or scratches on the reflectors of the Disc Tray. The printer may not be able to
recognize loading of the printable disc, or printing may become misaligned. If the reflectors on the
Disc Tray become dirty, wipe the reflector clean with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the
plate.
The Disc Tray may become dirty if software other than CD-LabelPrint or Easy-PhotoPrint EX is used.
Always use the supplied 3.15 inches / 8 cm Disc Adapter when printing on 3.15 inches / 8 cm

printable discs.
Always close the Inner Cover after printing on printable discs.
To keep the print quality at an optimal level, it is recommended to stop printing discs once every ten
discs when printing more than ten discs continuously.
To stop the printing operation, detach the Disc Tray from the printer, then close the Inner Cover. After
approximately three minutes have elapsed, open the Inner Cover, attach the Disc Tray to the printer,
then resume printing.

Cleaning the Print Heads
The print head cleaning function allows you to unclog clogged nozzles in the print head. Perform print
head cleaning if printing is faint or a specific color fails to print, even though there is enough ink.
The procedure for cleaning the print heads is as follows:

Cleaning

1. Open the printer driver setup window
2. Click Cleaning on the Maintenance tab
The Print Head Cleaning dialog box opens. Follow the instruction shown in the dialog box.
Click Initial Check Items to display the items you need to check before performing Cleaning.

3. Execute cleaning
Make sure that the printer is on and then click Execute.

Print head cleaning starts.

4. Complete cleaning
The Nozzle Check dialog box opens after the confirmation message.

5. Check the results
To check whether the print quality has improved, click Print Check Pattern. To cancel the check
process, click Cancel.

If cleaning the head once does not resolve the print head problem, clean it once more.

Deep Cleaning
Deep Cleaning is more thorough than cleaning. Perform deep cleaning when two Cleaning attempts do
not resolve the print head problem.

1. Open the printer driver setup window
2. Click Deep Cleaning on the Maintenance tab
The Deep Cleaning dialog box opens. Follow the instruction shown in the dialog box.
Click Initial Check Items to display the items you need to check before performing Deep Cleaning.

The Nozzle Check dialog box opens after the confirmation message.

5. Check the results
To check whether the print quality has improved, click Print Check Pattern. To cancel the check
process, click Cancel.

Important
Cleaning consumes a small amount of ink. Deep Cleaning consumes a larger amount of ink than

Cleaning the print heads frequently will rapidly deplete your printer's ink supply. Consequently,
perform cleaning only when necessary.

Note
If there is no sign of improvement after Deep Cleaning, switch off the printer, wait 24 hours, and
then perform Deep Cleaning again. If there is still no sign of improvement, the ink may have run out

or the print head may be worn. For details on the remedial action to be taken, see "
But Ink Is Not Ejected ."

Printing Area

Check 3: Load the paper after correcting its curl.
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.
We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keeping it on a level surface.

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.

Page 402 of 468 pages

Paper Is Smudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched

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.

Check 4: If you are printing on thick paper, select the Prevent paper
abrasion setting.
Selecting the Prevent paper abrasion setting will widen the clearance between the Print Head and
the loaded paper. If you notice abrasion even with the media type set correctly to match the loaded
paper, set the printer to prevent paper abrasion on the computer.
Print speed may be reduced if you are selecting the Prevent paper abrasion setting.
* Deactivate the Prevent paper abrasion setting once printing is complete. If not, this setting remains
enabled for all subsequent print jobs.
Open the printer driver setup window, and in Custom Settings in the Maintenance sheet, select the
Prevent paper abrasion check box, and then click Send.
To open the printer driver setup window, see Opening the Printer Driver Setup Window .

Check 5: If the intensity is set high, reduce the Intensity setting in the
printer driver 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.

Load paper of suitable size, then press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer.
Make sure that the Page Size or Paper Size setting matches the actual size of the paper with a
size suitable for automatic duplex printing.
First, check the Page Size setting in the application software you are printing from.
Then, check the Page Size setting on the Page Setup sheet in the printer driver setup window.

Note
Duplex printing may not be available depending on the version of the application software.
Make sure that the type of loaded paper is suitable for automatic duplex printing on the Main
sheet in the printer driver setup window.
To switch to manual duplex printing, follow the procedure below.
Open the printer driver setup window, clear the Automatic check box on the Page Setup sheet, and
reprint.
When performing manual duplex printing, note the following.
If you are printing three or more pages of a document with manual duplex printing, one side
of all sheets of paper will be printed first. Turn over the paper and reload the paper in the
printer, and then the reverse side of all sheets of paper will be printed. Be careful not to
change the order of paper in the stack.
The procedure for reversing the paper varies depending on the staple side and printing
orientation. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Instructions for Use (Printer Driver)
This printer driver is subject to the following restrictions. Keep the following points in mind when using
the printer driver.

Restrictions on the Printer Driver
Depending on the document type to be printed, the paper feed method specified in the printer driver
may not operate correctly.
If this happens, open the printer driver setup window from the Print dialog box of the application
software, and check the setting in the Paper Source field on the Main tab.
With some applications, the Copies setting in the Page Setup tab of the printer driver may not be
enabled.
In this case, use the copies setting in the Print dialog box of the application software.
If the selected Language in the About dialog box does not match the operating system interface
language, the driver screen may not be displayed properly.
Do not change the Advanced tab items of the printer properties. If you change any of the items, you
will not be able to use the following functions correctly.
Also, if Print to file is selected in the Print dialog box of the application software and with applications
that prohibit EMF spooling, such as Adobe Photoshop LE and MS Photo Editor, the following
functions will not operate.
Preview before printing on the Main tab
Prevent loss of print data in the Print Options dialog box
Page Layout, Poster, Booklet, Duplex Printing (manually), Specify Margin..., Print from Last Page,
Collate, and Stamp/Background... (Stamp...) on the Page Setup tab

Since the resolution in the preview display differs from the printing resolution, text and lines in the
preview display may appear different from the actual print result.
With some applications, the printing is divided into multiple print jobs.
To cancel printing, delete all divided print jobs.
If image data is not printed correctly, display the Print Options dialog box from the Page Setup tab
and change the setting of Disable ICM required from the application software. This may solve the
problem.

Note
Disable ICM required from the application software cannot be used when the XPS printer driver

is used.

Points to Note with Applications
There are following restrictions in Microsoft Word (Microsoft Corporation).
When Microsoft Word has the same printing functions as the printer driver, use Word to specify
them.
When selecting Fit-to-Page, Scaled, or Page Layout from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup
tab, the selected printing function may not be effective, depending on the version of Word.
If this happens, follow the procedure below.

1. Open Word's Print dialog box.

Page 436 of 468 pages
