Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Canon Card Photo Printer CP-300/CP200. This User Guide explains the printer’s general flow of operations, from camera print settings to printing and computer connection operations to printing. For information about how to make prints, refer to the Camera User Guide that came with your camera and to the Printer Driver User Guide (bundled on the CP Printer Solution Disk). Before using your printer for the first time, please read through the safety precautions.
What Can Be Accomplished with this Printer Connects directly to supporting Canon cameras Allows easy printing from any Canon camera that supports direct printing with the card photo printer (CP-300/CP-200). Just connect the interface cable and you’re ready to go. Connects directly to computers Simply connect the printer to a computer with one commercially available USB cable to perform the following operations.
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.
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 lines 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 AC cable becomes damaged (if internal wiring is exposed, etc.), immediately unplug the cable from the power outlet. Continued use poses risk of fire or electric shock.
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.
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.
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 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance around the printer.
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.
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.
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.
