How to insert paper (SELPHY CP910)

Content Id: 8201961900


Solution

The method for inserting paper into the paper cassette is explained below. The example procedure is shown using Paper Cassette PCPL-CP400 (sold separately).

Caution

Use only paper in a genuine Canon Color Ink / Paper Set for SELPHY CP printers. Other paper, such as regular postcards or paper for SELPHY ES printers, cannot be used.
Never do the following, which may damage the printer or cause malfunction.

- Loading paper upside-down, with the glossy and back sides reversed

- Bending or separating paper at the perforations before printing

- Using label paper whose upper label surface is peeling off or has been partially pulled up

- Writing on paper before printing

- Reusing paper, as by printing on blank areas

Do not touch the springs on the paper cassette. Accidentally bending the springs may prevent efficient paper feeding.
Note that one spring is attached in the center on the top of card-size paper cassettes.

Avoid touching or rubbing the glossy, printing side of the paper. Do not handle paper with wet hands, and keep paper free of dust. Dirt or moisture may cause banding or affect print quality, or damage the printer.

1. Check the paper size, and open both covers.

Check the size on the paper cassette (such as "Postcard" or "Card Size") to make sure it matches the size of the ink cassette.

There are two layers of covers. First open the ⋖outer cover⋗, and then open the ⋖inner cover⋗.

2. Load the paper in the paper cassette.

Holding the paper as shown in the above image, load it with the glossy side up. (Do not touch the glossy side of the paper, which may affect print quality.)

Caution

Remove any protective sheets from the paper, and load only paper into the cassette.
The paper cassette holds up to 18 sheets. Loading 19 or more sheets may damage the printer or cause malfunction.

3. Close the inner cover.

Close the inner cover firmly until it clicks into place. Leave the outer cover open when printing.

Caution

You can use Paper Cassette PCPL-CP400 to print on L-size paper.

1. To print on postcard paper, remove the adapter as shown.

2. Insert the postcard-size paper. When making postcard prints with space for a stamp, load the paper with the stamp area facing as shown.
