Connects directly to supporting Canon cameras Allows easy printing from any Canon camera that supports direct printing with the compact photo printer (CP400). Just connect the interface cable and you're ready to go. Connects directly to computers Simply connect the printer to a computer with a commercially available USB cable to perform the following operations; • • • • Print the shots taken with your camera in a variety of layouts.
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" or "compact power adapter" throughout this guide.
• 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.
~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.
• 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 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the devices and 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance on both sides.
o 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 moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
• 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. • Do not place any foreign objects in the print output receptacle (on the top of the paper cassette). This area is for paper only.
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. 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.
