About this page

This page is for the PRO-1 with firmware version 2.000 or later.
Check your PRO-1 firmware version while referring to [ How to upgrade the firmware ], and upgrade the firmware if necessary before going through this page.

With the upgraded firmware, you can perform the following:
- Printing in the color hue (in the PRO Mode) that looks like the one on the monitor
- Reducing the Fine Art Paper margin (from 35 mm to 30 mm)
- Printing on Canvas paper
CAUTION
The latest version of the printer driver needs to be installed.
With Mac OS X v10.4, the above new features are not available.

Choose paper suitable for printing, for the best print results. Canon provides you various types of paper to enhance the fun of printing, such as stickers as well as papers for photo or document. We recommend the use of Canon genuine paper for printing your important photos.
