procedures.

Read This First
Safety Precautions
• Before using the devices, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety
precautions described below. Always ensure that the devices are operated correctly.
• The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe
and correct operation of the devices to prevent injuries or damage to yourself and other
persons.
• “Devices” refers to the “printer”, “compact power adapter” or “battery pack” throughout this
guide.

WARNINGS
Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data CD-ROMs.
Playing the CD-ROM(s) in an audio CD player (music player) could damage the speakers. It is
also possible to suffer from hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of a
CD-ROM played on a music CD player.

Devices
If the devices emit smoke or a burning odor, or show other signs of significant
malfunction, immediately unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Continued
operation under these conditions poses risk of fire or electric shock. Be sure that smoke or
burning odor subsides, and then contact your dealer or the nearest Canon Customer Support
help desk.
If the devices are dropped or the casing becomes damaged, unplug the power cord
from the power outlet. Continued operation poses risk of fire or electric shock. Contact your
dealer or the nearest canon Customer Support help desk.
Never rest small metallic objects or liquid containers on top of the devices. If liquid
splashes onto the devices, wipe the devices dry using a soft absorbent cloth. If liquid spills
into the devices or an object falls into the devices, immediately unplug the power cord from
the power outlet. Continued operation poses risk of fire or electric shock. Contact your dealer
or the nearest Canon Customer Support help desk.
Do not use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner to clean the
devices. Use of such solvents poses a fire risk.
Do not drop or insert metallic or combustible objects into the devices. Entry of foreign
objects into the devices may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment failure. Store the
devices out of the reach of children.
Do not disassemble or modify the devices. The devices contain high-voltage components,
and there is risk of electric shock. If your devices need internal adjustments or repair, contact
your dealer or a Canon Customer Support help desk.
Do not touch metal parts of the devices or the power plug during thunderstorms.
Lightning strikes may produce lethal voltages within the devices. Keep clear of the devices
while thunderstorms are in progress.

Power
Do not exceed the cable and power outlet ratings when operating this product. Do not
operate this product outside of the specified voltage rating. Connecting too many devices to
the same outlet may result in fire. Check that the voltage of the outlet is compatible with the
devices before plugging them in.
If the power cord becomes damaged (if internal wiring is exposed, etc.), immediately
unplug it from the power outlet. Continued use poses risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not plug in or unplug the power cord while your hands are wet, as this may result in
electric shock. When unplugging the power cord, hold it firmly at the plug area. Do not pull
directly on the cord, as this may damage or expose the cord’s internal wiring, resulting in risk
of fire or electric shock.
Be sure that the power cord is plugged all the way in. A loose connection may result in
heat buildup, fire, or electric shock.
Do not damage, modify, or rest heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord
may result in the exposure of live wires, fire, or electric shock.
Keep the power cord free of dust. The presence of dust or metallic debris on the plug
poses risk of fire or electric shock. If the plug area is not clean, unplug the power cord and
then wipe the plug area clean using a dry cloth. Check the plug periodically to make sure it is
clean.

Usage Location
Do not place the devices on an unstable or tilted table or desk, as there is risk that the
devices may fall and cause injury.

CAUTIONS
Devices
Do not block the air vents on the printer. Blocking the vents may cause the inside of the
printer to overheat, resulting in damage to internal components and risk of equipment failure
or fire. Use the devices in a well-ventilated area.
Do not rest heavy objects on the devices. Objects may fall off the devices and cause
injury. Weight placed on the devices may deform the casing, resulting in damage to internal
parts and posing risk of fire.
Unplug the devices when you are not using them. If the devices remain plugged in, there
is risk that accidental contact with the device’s internal parts may cause electric shock.
Leaving the devices plugged in during prolonged periods of non-use poses risk of fire.
Do not remove the paper cassette from the printer while printing is in progress. Paper
moves back and forth in the cassette four times during printing. Placing your hand in the way
of moving paper may result in injury. Wait for printing to finish completely before removing the
cassette. Never place your hand into the paper cassette slot.
Do not reach into internal parts of the devices except as specified in the operating
instructions. Reaching into inappropriate parts of the devices may cause your hand to
become caught or injured.

Power
Do not move the devices while they are plugged in. Doing so may damage the power
cord. Continued use of a damaged power cord poses risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not excessively bend or twist the power cord. Doing so may damage the cord.
Continued use of a damaged cable poses risk of fire or equipment failure. Leave about 15 cm
(6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the devices and 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance on both
sides to ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not pull on the power cord. Doing so may damage the power cord. Continued use of a
damaged cord poses risk of fire or electric shock. Always hold the cord by the plug area when
unplugging it.

Usage Location
Do not use the devices in locations that are smoky, humid, dusty, or subject to strong
vibration. Entry of water or dust into the devices, or internal damage caused by strong
vibration, may pose risk of fire or electric shock. Have the devices checked approximately
once a year (contact your dealer), preferably before the onset of your area’s humid season.
Do not leave the devices exposed to high temperatures. Do not leave in direct sunlight, or
close to heating equipment, or in a car with windows closed on a hot day. High temperatures
may cause deformation of the devices and pose risk of fire.
Do not use the devices near an open flame. Sheets ejected from the printer (onto the top
of the paper cassette) may fall into the flame, resulting in fire.
Do not use the devices close to TV sets or AM radios. Devices’ operation may adversely
affect TV and radio reception.

Proper Usage and Handling
Usage Location
Do not use near strong magnets or near devices that produce strong electromagnetic
fields. Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as TVs and game machines, and strong
magnetic fields from devices such as speakers and large motors, may cause distortion in
printed images.
Use in a well-ventilated, level area.
Leave about 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the devices and 10 cm
(4 in.) of clearance on both sides. Be sure to leave clearance around the paper-handling
slot (at the rear) so that paper has sufficient room to jut out from the slot during printing.
Place the printer so that the air vents on the back will not be blocked. If the air vents
blocked, the printer interior could heat up, causing the printer to temporarily stop.

Handling Precautions
Please avoid turning the printer’s power on and off needlessly as the printer
initialization consumes ink. There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the
set.
When the printer is not in use, please remove the battery pack.
Unplug the printer when you are not using it. But please note that you should plug in and
run the printer at least once every six months to ensure that it remains functional.
Before transporting the printer, remove the paper and ink cassettes and close the
paper cassette cover and the ink cassette cover. If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer,
print quality may deteriorate.
Pack the printer into an appropriate case for transport. If a case is not available, wrap it
with cloth or other protective material to protect against scratches.
Never use volatile compounds or insecticides on the printer, and do not allow rubber
or vinyl material to remain in prolonged contact with the printer. These materials may
cause deformation of the printer’s casing.

Overheating
If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. This does not mean that the
printer has malfunctioned. The printer will resume normal printing as soon as it cools
down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur in the following cases:
• When printing continuously.
• If the room is unusually warm.
• If the air vents on the back of the printer are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.

To Prevent Damage from Condensation
Condensation may form in the printer if you suddenly move it from a cold location to a
warm location. To prevent damage that might be caused by condensation, place the printer
in a sealed plastic bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room temperature before using
it. Stop using the printer immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage
the equipment. Wait until the water droplets have evaporated completely before resuming
use.

Cleaning the Printer
Never use benzene, paint thinner, or other volatile solvents to clean the printer. Volatile
solvents may cause deformation or peeling of the printer’s casing. To clean the printer, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth. If stronger cleaning is required, wipe first with a cloth moistened with a
dilute neutral solvent, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. If you use a chemical cleaning
cloth, read the instructions that come with it and observe all indicated precautions.
Keep the air vents clean and free of dust. Clean the vents as necessary. Dust that enters
the printer through the vents may land on the ink sheet, resulting in poor print quality and
possibly leading to printer breakdown. If the ink sheet becomes dusty, remove the ink
cassette and replace it with a new one.

Proper Handling of Ink Cassettes
Please use only the ink cassettes specified for use by Canon.
Do not open the ink cassette cover while printing is in progress, and do not pull the
ink cassette out. These actions may damage the printer.
Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet. There may not be enough ink left for the allotted
sheets in the set.
Do not handle the ink cassettes with wet or sweaty hands.
Allow ink cassettes to reach room temperature before installing and using them.
Condensation may form if you suddenly move ink cassettes from a cold location to a warm
location. If there is risk of condensation, leave the cassette in its packaging until it reaches
room temperature, and wipe away any moisture before loading it.
If you are not planning to use the printer for a while, remove and store the ink cassette.

Proper Handling of Paper Cassettes
Do not apply excessive force to the paper cassette. Force or impact on the cassette may
result in paper jams or equipment damage.
Do not bend or deform the spring located at the rear of the middle cover of the paper
cassette.
Spring

Do not place any foreign objects in the print output receptacle (on the top of the paper
cassette). This area is for paper only.
If you are not planning to use the printer for a while, remove the paper cassette, close
the paper cassette’s top cover and store the paper cassette. Also remove the paper
from the paper cassette and store it horizontally.

Proper Handling of Paper
Please use only the paper types specified for use by Canon.
Paper must be printed on the glossy side (the side without any printed markings).
Always load paper into the cassette with the glossy side up. Loading the paper the wrong way
may result in poor print quality, and in some cases may cause damage to the printer.
Do not tear or bend the paper’s perforated edges before printing. Tearing the paper’s
perforated edges will cause the ink sheet to wind up automatically and waste one print’s
worth of ink. If this happens, there will not be enough ink left to print all the paper sheets
included in the kit.
Do not use label sheets on which labels are partially peeled off.
Do not touch the print side of the paper with your fingers. Always hold the paper along
the edges (outside the perforated border).

WRONG

RIGHT

Be sure that hands are dry before touching the paper. Sharp objects will scratch the paper
surface. Keep the paper surface free from fingerprints, dust, water droplets, etc.
Do not write on the paper before printing. Writing on paper before printing on it may result
in malfunction.

Do not touch paper while it is being printed. During printing, the sheet repeatedly moves
back and forth along the top of the paper cassette and in and out through the paper-handling
slot. Please do not touch the sheet during this process as this could damage the printer.
Do not allow too many prints to accumulate in the print output receptacle. Do not allow
more than 9 sheets to accumulate in the print output receptacle.
You may write on the paper with an oil-based pen, but to avoid smudging please allow
ink time to dry before touching it.
Allow the paper to reach room temperature before installing and using it. Condensation
may form if you suddenly move the paper from a cold location to a warm location. If there is
risk of condensation, leave the paper in its packaging until it reaches room temperature, and
wipe away any moisture before loading it.
Please avoid the following actions as they may result in color change, color fading or
color bleeding.
• Sticking any type of adhesive tape onto the print surface.
• Allowing print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl materials.
• Applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to the print surface.
• Leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against any other surfaces or objects for prolonged
periods.

Paper Storage
If you wish to mount prints into an album, select an album with nylon-based sleeves,
or with propylene or cellophane sleeves. Other types of sleeves may cause color loss or
color bleeding.
Color change may occur over time in accordance with conditions of storage. Canon
assumes no liability for color changes.
To avoid print quality deterioration, do not store your prints in the following types of
locations.
• Locations that reach temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)
• Humid or dusty locations
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
Remove unused paper from the paper cassette, return it to the bag and then into its
original package. Store the package horizontally.

Others
When opening a color ink/paper set (full-sized label set, label set), check the contents.
If something seems to be missing or appears to be damaged, contact the dealer for
assistance.
The battery pack is charged while installed on the printer, and the printer is connected
to the compact power adapter supplied with the printer.
When using the battery pack, if the battery status is low, the finished print may not be
ejected into the print output receptacle completely. If this happens, gently pull out the
paper.

Shoot an image using your mobile phone.
• Set the image type to JPEG.

If any camera is connected to the printer, disconnect the
camera.
• You can leave your computer connected to the printer.

Load the paper cassette that
matches the size of paper you
want to print and the ink
cassette.
• The printer enlarges or reduces the size of
the image according to the paper size and
sets the print direction to vertical or
horizontal automatically. The upper, lower,
left or right portion(s) of the printed image
may be cut depending on the combination of
the image size and paper size.
• When you print wide size paper (100 x 200
mm (4 × 8 in.)), the size of the printed image
will be the same as the postcard size. You
cannot do full-size borderless printing.

20 cm or nearer (Do not
block with any obstacles.)

Effective range (about 10 degrees
vertically and horizontally).

Transmit an image from your
mobile phone to the printer.
• Aim the mobile phone's infrared port at the
printer's infrared data receiver and transmit
the image data to the printer. See the
illustration on the left for the transmittable
distance. Note that the distance differs
depending on the mobile phone model.
Refer to your mobile phone's manual.
• The printer's indicator blinks green while
receiving the data. If any error occurs the
indicator lights green (returns to the original
state). Check the message appearing on
the mobile phone display if an error occurs.
• If the data transmission fails, move the
mobile phone closer to the front of the
printer's infrared data receiver and repeat
the procedure.

Printing starts after the data transmission is complete.

• E-mail and phone directories cannot be printed.
• Images downloaded from internet homepages or images originally downloaded
from a URL and attached to e-mail cannot be printed. This restriction is for
protecting mobile phone security.
• Some mobile phones have limited memory capacity for infrared data transmission
and you may not be able to print the image in the best quality.
• The images in the memory card (such as an SD card or memory stick) of some
mobile phones cannot be printed.
• Movie images cannot be printed.
• If the printer cannot recover from an error, such as a paper jam, turn off the printer
and remove any paper from inside the printer. Turn it on, and repeat the procedure.

• Do not place any obstacle between the printer and the mobile phone.
• Avoid direct sunlight on the infrared data receiver. Direct sunlight may interfere
with the communication with the mobile phone.
• Do not place the printer near a plasma display. Placing it near a plasma display
may prevent the printer from communicating with the mobile phone.
• Do not interrupt the infrared data communication until printing completes. If the
communication is interrupted, turn off the printer. Then, turn it on, and repeat the
procedure.
• If you print L size, postcard size or wide size paper, the printed image may be
coarser and grainier. In this case, printing on credit card size paper is
recommended.
• If you transmit a large image, the transmission may take more than one minute.
• Do not do any printing operations from the camera or computer after the printer
starts communicating with the mobile phone until printing is complete.
• The printer cannot communicate with the mobile phone until all other printing
operations are complete.

Battery Usage
Using the Battery Pack
You can use the rechargeable battery pack (Battery Pack NB-CP2L) to print.
The Battery Pack NB-CP1L (sold separately) cannot be used.

Charging the Battery Pack
Attach the battery pack NB-CP2L to the printer to charge it.

Remove the battery pack’s
terminal cover.
• When the battery pack is not in use, always
store it with its terminal cover on.

Terminal Cover

Press the battery cover lever
down and remove the battery
cover.

Install the battery pack.

• Slide the battery pack into place, in the
direction of the arrow, and push it in until it
clicks into place.
• To remove the battery pack, push the
battery cover lever down and pull the battery
pack out. Replace the battery cover
afterwards.

To Power Outlet

Attach the power cord to the
compact power adapter CACP200 and plug it into a power
outlet.

Compact Power Adapter
power cord

Indicator

Connect the compact power
adapter cable to the printer.
• The indicator lights orange while charging
and turns off once the battery pack is fully
charged.

Compact Power
Adapter Cable

Disconnect the compact power
adapter cable from the printer
once charging is complete.

• If the power button is pressed and the printer’s power turns on while charging the
battery pack, charging will stop. Pressing the power button again will turn off the
printer and charging will resume.
• Do not use the battery pack in products other than those recommended by Canon.
• Do not charge battery packs other than the battery pack NB-CP2L.
• Do not carry or store the battery pack with metal objects with sharp edges, such as
paper clips and pins. Always put the terminal cover on the battery pack’s terminal
when carrying it or before storing it.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery pack to severe impact.
• Do not apply heat or expose the battery pack to open flame.
• Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth,
cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly
lead to fire.
• Immediately flush water over parts of the body or clothing that come into contact
with the inner contents of a battery if the outer casing incurs damage. If any of
these substances should contact internal tissues, such as eyes or the mouth,
immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.

• When the battery pack is used to power the printer, the printer will automatically
turn off if it is idle for 5 minutes or more.
• This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or
discharge it before recharging. It can be charged at any charge state.
• It takes approximately 150 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a full
charge state (based on standard Canon testing criteria).
• Charge it within a temperature range of 5 to 40 oC (41 to 104 oF).
• The charge adapter may emit noises while charging. This is not a malfunction.
• Do not charge the battery pack for more than 24 continuous hours to avoid
performance loss.
• When the printer is not in use, remove the battery pack, replace its terminal cover
and store it in a cool place (30 oC/86 oF or less). Charge it before using it again.
• Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You are advised to
charge the battery on the day of use, or one day before, to ensure a full charge.
• Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time (about 1 year)
can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you are recommended to discharge
the battery pack fully in the printer before storing it in a cool place (30 oC/86 oF or
less). If you do not use the battery pack for long periods of time, charge it fully and
discharge it fully in the printer at least once a year before returning it to storage.
• The printer consumes the battery charge when the power is on even when a
function is not being used. To conserve the battery charge, be particularly attentive
in turning the power off.
• Remove the battery pack when the printer is not in use. The battery pack
continues to discharge a small amount when left in the printer even with the power
turned off. This shortens the battery life.
• Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 5 to 40 oC (41 to 104 oF),
the optimal range is 10 to 30 oC (50 to 86 oF). At cold temperatures, such as those
experienced on ski hills, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable
time.
• If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully
charged, it should be replaced.

Battery Status
If battery status is running down and the indicator of the printer blinks orange while
the printer is connected to the camera, the camera’s LCD monitor may display the
following message.
Error Message
Recharge the printer battery

Solution
The battery pack’s power is too low to operate the printer.

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
Notes about connection
In using the USB cable, be sure to connect the printer directly to your
computer.
If you connect the USB cable via a USB hub, the printer may not function properly.
Do not use other USB devices (with the exception of a USB mouse or
keyboard) with the printer. The printer may not function properly.
Disconnect the other USB devices from your computer and then reconnect the
printer.
Do not connect two or more direct print compatible printers (all CP series
printers) to the same computer.
The printers may not function properly.
For Windows, when connecting the printer to your computer, we recommend
that you connect it to the same USB port you used to install the printer
driver.
If you connect the printer to a different USB port, Windows may create a copy of
the printer driver. This depends on your Windows version and the printer driver,
and does not affect the operation of the printer.
To delete a copy of the printer driver, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from your computer.
2. Delete the copy of the printer driver as follows (do not use the uninstaller.)
(1) For Windows XP, click the [Start] button and select [Control Panel], [Printers
and Other Hardware], and [Printers and Faxes].
For Windows 98 SE/Windows Me/Windows 2000, click the [Start] button and
select [Settings], and [Printers].
(2) Right-click the copy of the printer driver and then select [Delete] on the shortcut menu.
3. Restart your computer. Connect the printer to the USB port you used to install
the printer driver.
• Do not put your computer into the standby mode (or sleep mode) while the printer
is connected to a USB port.
• If you accidentally do so, do not disconnect the USB cable from your computer
while it is in the standby mode; instead, leaving the USB cable connected, first
return your computer to its normal mode. If you remove the USB cable while your
computer is in the standby mode, your computer may not be able to return to its
normal mode. For details on your computer’s standby mode, refer to the
documentation provided with your computer.

Connect one end of a commercially available USB cable
(sold separately) to the USB port on the printer, and the
other end to a USB port on your computer.
• There is no need to turn off the printer or your computer.
• When connecting the printer to your computer, make sure the connectors on the
ends of the USB cable match the ports on the printer and your computer.
• For the location and direction of your computer’s USB port, refer to the
documentation provided with your computer.

Printing with Non-Canon Digital Cameras
Since the CP600 printers support the direct print PictBridge* standard, you can
connect PictBridge compliant non-Canon digital cameras to easily print high
image quality photos.
* PictBridge: PictBridge is an industry standard for direct printing that allows you to print
images without using a computer by directly connecting a digital camera or digital camcorder
(hereafter “camera”) to a printer, regardless of their brands and models.

Before Using the Printer
Please read carefully the user guide that came with your camera and make sure
that:
• The camera is PictBridge compliant.
• You are using the USB cable for the camera/computer connection to connect the printer to
the camera. (This cable may be included with the camera)
• You set the print settings with the camera. For details, refer to the camera’s user guide.

Connecting the Camera
Insert one end of the USB cable used for the camera/computer connection in the
printer’s direct print port (see p. 29) and insert the other end in the camera’s
terminal. (For details, refer to the camera’s user guide)
• The printer’s indicator blinks green several times once the printer and camera are correctly
connected. The indicator lights steadily green once it is ready to print.
• If a problem occurs during a connection or during printing, the printer’s indicator lights or
blinks red. If this happens, the error message that appears on the camera’s LCD monitor
may differ according to your camera model.

• Printing speed may differ according to your camera model and the image’s number
of recorded pixels. (The value written on page 44 is a printing speed obtained
when printing with a Canon camera.)
