Getting Ready to Print (SELPHY CP900)

Solution

Important:  Always use the paper specific to SELPHY CP series printers included in the genuine Canon brand [Color Ink Cassette / Paper Set]. Commercially sold printing paper, regular postcards, or paper specified for use in SELPHY ES series printers cannot be used.

Confirming the Size Indication
 

1. Confirm that the [Paper cassette] and the [Ink cassette] have the same size indication.

Preparing the [Ink Cassette]
 

2. Confirm that the [Ink sheet] is taut with no slack.

3. If the [Ink sheet] is slack, take up the slack with the following procedures.

 

 

Push the spot indicated by inward; rotate it in the clockwise direction to roll up the [Ink sheet]. Roll up the [Ink sheet] until the slack is taken up. Rolling it up too much may reduce the number of prints that can be made.
Important:  Do not pull or touch the [Ink sheet] with bare hands. Also, do not hold the [Ink Cassette] with wet hands. This may cause the printing errors.

Preparing the [Paper Cassette]
 

4. Open the lid.

 

 

There are two layers of lids. Open the outer lid first, then open the inner lid .

 

5. Hold the paper as shown in the illustration and load with the glossy side up. Do not touch the print side (glossy side) of the paper with your fingers. This may prevent you from making clean prints.

 

 

Important: 
  • If a protective sheet is included with the paper, remove it and set only the paper into the cassette.
  • You can place up to 18 sheets in the paper cassette. Inserting 19 or more sheets may damage the printer or cause malfunction.

 

 

6. Close the lid.

 

 

Close the inner lid until it clicks into place. Leave the outer lid open during printing.
Important: 
  • Mistakenly reversing the paper in the cassette may damage the printer.
  • Do not bend the paper at the perforations or separate it before printing.
  • Do not use label sheets that have begun to peel or label sheets with portions peeled back.
  • Do not write on a sheet before printing with the printer. It may lead to a malfunction.
  • Do not print on printed paper.
  • Never reuse a spent [Ink cassette].
  • Do not touch the print surface (shiny side), scratch it or touch the paper with wet hands. Prints will not be desirable if the print surface becomes dirty or wet.
  • Do not touch the springs of the paper cassette. If the springs are bent or deformed, paper will not feed correctly into SELPHY.

 

Installing the [Ink Cassette] and the [Paper Cassette]
 

7. Open the Paper cassette compartment cover and the Ink cassette compartment cover of the printer.

9. Make sure that the outer lid is open and insert the [paper cassette] all the way into the compartment.

 

Setting Up and Connecting the Printer

 

10. Set up and connect your SELPHY printer in the following manner for safe use.

Make sure there is at least 10 cm (4 in.) of free space around printer.
Make sure there is free space of at least the length of the paper behind printer. (During printing the paper will pass in and out.)


Connect the [Compact power adapter] to the printer.
Insert the [Power cord] to the [Compact power adapter].
Plug the other end into a [Power outlet].

 

Important: 
  • Place SELPHY on a stable and even surface, such as a table. Never place it on an unstable or tilted surface.
  • Do not place SELPHY in the following locations. This may damage or cause the printer to malfunction.
- Close to a motor or other devices that generate strong magnetic fields
- Near a television or radio set
  • Keep SELPHY at least 1 m (3 ft.) from devices emitting electromagnetic waves or strong magnetic fields.
  • Make sure there is free space at the front and back of the printer of at least the length of the paper (During printing, the paper will pass in and out).
  • Do not handle the power cords with wet hands.
Note:  You can use the battery pack [NB-CP2L] (sold separately) and charger adapter [CG-CP200] (sold separately) to print images where there is no power outlet.
