look different depending on the intensity and color temperature of lighting in the
monitor viewing environment, as well as monitor color calibration.

Individual images are printed reduced, in only one layout position

• Change the [Page Layout] settings (= 41). When a layout in [Page Layout] other
than [1-up] is selected, individual images are printed in one layout position per sheet if
you print from a camera or other device that can only send one image at a time.

Printing takes too long

• SELPHY will temporarily halt printing if it exceeds a specific temperature; this does not
indicate a problem. Wait until the printer cools off. During continuous printing, in hot
environments, or if the printer’s interior becomes hot because the rear-side air vent
(= 12) is blocked, SELPHY may temporarily stop printing, causing printing to take
longer.
• Printing may take some time, depending on the printing environment. If so, try printing
a different way—from a memory card, via Wi-Fi, or via USB.

Cannot cancel printing

• Printing in progress, whether from a smartphone, camera, or computer, cannot be
canceled from SELPHY by using the <v> button. Use the device you are printing

• Confirm that 19 or more prints have not collected on the paper cassette.
• Confirm that you are using paper designed especially for SELPHY (= 3).

Cannot print the correct quantity (unused paper left after ink runs
out)
• Some unused paper may remain if the ink runs out first.

Paper jams
• If paper protrudes from the front or back paper ejection slot (= 12), carefully pull
it out. If you cannot remove the paper by gently pulling it out, never force it out. Turn
the printer off and then on. Repeat until the paper is ejected. If you accidentally turn
the printer off while printing, restart it and wait until the paper is ejected. If paper jams
and cannot be removed, contact your retailer or a Customer Support Help Desk. Do not
attempt to remove jammed paper by force, which may damage the printer.

Wi-Fi

75
 Storing Prints
• To remove any extra paper from the edges
of a print, fold the paper along the
perforations and tear the edges off.
• When writing on prints, use an oil-based pen.
• To prevent discoloration, do not store prints where
temperatures exceed 40 °C (104 °F), in humid or dusty places, or in
direct sunlight.
• Also avoid the following actions, which may cause discoloration, fading,
or bleeding: sticking tape on the printed surface, allowing the printed
surface to contact vinyl or plastic, applying alcohol or volatile solvents to
the printed surface, or leaving the printed surface pressed firmly against
other surfaces or objects over extended periods.
• When storing prints in an album, choose an album with photo covers
made of nylon, polypropylene, or cellophane.

• Color may change over time or depending on storage conditions. Canon

cannot be held liable for discoloration.

After Printing
Turn off SELPHY (= 20) and remove any memory cards or USB flash drives.
Lower the monitor for storage.
Unplug the power cord from the outlet and disconnect the adapter plug from
SELPHY.
• If the compact power adapter is still warm, wait for it to cool down before
putting it away.
Remove the paper cassette and close the paper cassette compartment cover. Leave
any remaining paper in the cassette, and store the cassette in a dark, cool, and dry
place away from dust.
• Leave the ink cassette in SELPHY.
• Store SELPHY on a flat surface, away from sunlight and dust. Any dust that
gets inside SELPHY may cause white banding on photos or damage the
printer.

• Store any extra ink cassettes in the original package or a bag, away from
sunlight and dust.
• Store any unused paper or ink cassettes in their unopened packages, away
from sunlight.

 Handling and Maintenance
• Do not subject the printer to excessive force, which may damage the
printer or cause paper jams.
• Do not expose the printer to insecticides or other volatile substances.
Additionally, do not store the printer in contact with rubber, vinyl, or plastic
products over extended periods, which may cause deformation of the
casing.
• Avoid condensation on the printer, which may happen when moving
the printer from cold to warm environments. Put the printer in a sealed
plastic bag and allow it to adjust to the new temperature before removing
the bag. If condensation forms, allow the printer to dry naturally at room
temperature before using again.
• When the printer becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the air vent (= 12) becomes dusty, remove the ink cassette
(= 24) before wiping the dust away, to prevent dust from getting
inside and affecting print quality.

• Never wipe the printer with solvents, such as benzene or thinner, or neutral
detergent, which may cause deformation or peeling of the casing.

Radio Wave Interference Precautions
This product may receive interference from other devices that emit radio
waves. To avoid interference, be sure to use this product as far away as
possible from such devices, or avoid using the devices at the same time
as this product.

Security Precautions
Because Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions
more stringent than when using a LAN cable are required.
Keep the following points in mind when using Wi-Fi.
• Only use networks you are authorized to use.
This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays the
results on the screen.
Networks you are not authorized to use (unknown networks) may
also be displayed. However, attempting to connect to or using such
networks could be regarded as unauthorized access. Be sure to use
only networks you are authorized to use, and do not attempt to connect
to other unknown networks.
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems
may occur.
• Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor Wi-Fi transmissions and
attempt to acquire the data you are sending.

83
• Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the
network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information.
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access
such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain
access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard
to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to
thoroughly secure your Wi-Fi network.
Only use this product’s Wi-Fi function with a proper understanding
of Wi-Fi security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting
security settings.
While Printing
Do not disconnect the printer from other devices until printing is finished,
which may cause incomplete or incorrect prints.
Precautions before Repair, Disposal, or Transfer of
Ownership
If you have saved security information such as Wi-Fi passwords on
SELPHY, this information may still be on the printer.
Before transferring ownership, disposing of the product, or sending it for
repair, do the following to prevent leakage of the information.
• Erase saved security information by choosing [Reset Settings] in the
Wi-Fi settings.
