Printing from AirPrint Compliant Device This document explains how to use AirPrint to print wirelessly from your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch to a Canon printer. AirPrint enables you to print photos, email, Web pages and documents from your Apple device directly to your printer without installing a driver. Checking Your Environment First, check your environment. • AirPrint Operation Environment To use AirPrint, you will need one of the following Apple devices running the latest version of iOS: iPad (all models), iPhone (3GS or later), or iPod touch (3rd generation or later). • Network Environment The Apple device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch) and this machine must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Printing with AirPrint 1. Check that this machine is turned on and is connected to the LAN. 2. From the application software of your Apple device, tap the operation icon to display the menu options. 3. From the menu options, tap Print. 4. From Printer Options, select the model that you are using. Important Because some application software does not support AirPrint, Printer Options may not be displayed. If an application software does not let you use printer options, you cannot print from that application software. Note The printer options differ depending on the application software and model you are using. Normally, when you tap Print and select a model name, the displayed printer options will include up to the following four options: Printer: Select a model that can be used in your wireless LAN. Copies: Select the number of print copies. Duplex Printing: If the model supports duplex printing, you can select On or Off. Range: The page range can be used only with specific application software and file types (such as PDF files). 5. For 1 Copy, click + or - to set the number of required copies. 6. For Duplex Printing, click On to enable duplex printing or click Off to disable the function. 7. When printing a file type that has multiple pages, such as a PDF file, click Range and then click All Pages or select the range of pages to be printed. 8. Tap the Print. When you execute printing, the printer prints according to the specified settings. Paper Size With AirPrint, the paper size is selected automatically according to the application software being used on the Apple device and the region in which AirPrint is used. When Apple's photo application software is used, the default paper size is L size in Japan, and 4"x6" or KG in other countries and regions. When documents are printed from Apple's Safari application software, the default paper size is letter size in the U.S. region, and A4 in Japan and Europe. Important Your application software may support different paper sizes. Checking the Print Status During printing, a Print icon is displayed in the list of recently used application software, and you can use it to check the print progress. To display the list of latest used application software, press the Home button on the Apple device twice. The Print icon is displayed at the bottom of the Home screen. Deleting a Print Job To delete a print job with AirPrint, use one of the following two methods: • From the machine: Use the operation panel of the machine to cancel the print job. • From an Apple device: Press the Home button on the Apple device twice. Tap the Print icon and display the print job list. Tap the print job to be canceled, and then tap Cancel Print. AirPrint Troubleshooting If the document does not print, check the following: 1. Check that the machine power is on. If the machine power is on, turn it off and then back on again, and check whether the issue is resolved. 2. Check that the machine is connected by LAN to the same network subnet as the device on which iOS is installed. 3. Check that the machine has enough paper and ink. 4. Check that no error message is displayed on the machine operation panel. If the problem persists, use the printer driver on your computer to execute printing and check whether the document can be printed normally on the machine. If the document cannot be printed, refer to the Online Manual for your model. Note After you turn on the machine, it may take few minutes before the machine can communicate through a wireless LAN connection. Confirm that the machine is connected to the wireless LAN, and then try printing. If Bonjour on the machine is disabled, AirPrint cannot be used. Check the LAN settings on the machine, and enable Bonjour. Note The windows used in the explanations may differ from those displayed by your Apple product or application software.

Replacing a FINE Cartridge Replacing a FINE Cartridge Checking the Ink Status Replacing a FINE Cartridge When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the message will appear on the LCD to inform you of the error. Take appropriate action according to the message. A Message Is Displayed Note For information on the compatible FINE cartridge, refer to the printed manual: Getting Started. Replacing Procedure When you need to replace a FINE cartridge, follow the procedure below. Important Handling FINE cartridge 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-andwhite 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. Useful Information about Ink 1. Make sure that the power is turned on, open the front cover (C), then open the paper output tray (D). 2. Open the paper output cover (E).

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. Note For the operation system firewall settings or the security software firewall settings, refer to the instruction manual of the computer or software, or contact its manufacturer. Tips for Ensuring Optimal Printing Quality Useful Information about Ink Key Points to Successful Printing Be Sure to Make Paper Settings after Loading Paper Canceling a Print Job Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing Quality Precautions for Safe Transport of the Machine 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, 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. 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. Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom Plate Cleaning) Check how to load the paper correctly! Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation? To load paper in the front tray, 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 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, distance from nozzles, etc., 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. 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. 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 disconnect the power plug 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 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. When disconnecting the power plug, make sure that the POWER lamp is not lit. Notice for Unplugging the Power Cord Important If the power plug is disconnected, 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, or save it on a USB flash drive before disconnecting the power plug. 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. 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. Precautions for Safe Transport of the Machine When relocating the machine, make sure of the following. Important When sending the machine for repair 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 machine.
