Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock.

Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet.

If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.

Do not service the machine yourself except as specifically described in this guide. If further servicing is required, contact the Canon Customer Care Center.

When storing the machine, choose a location where the machine is not exposed to dust.

Dust accumulation may prevent the machine from operating properly.

Paper having a "Model Number" is Canon specialty media.

You may not be able to purchase some Canon branded paper depending on your country.

*1 Paper is not sold in the US by Model Number. Purchase paper by the name.

*2 This is available only when printing from your computer.

*3 When loading a stack of paper, the printed side may be marked when it is fed in. If this happens, load paper one sheet at a time.

*4 When Windows is being used, you can specify the print setting easily by using the Easy-Photo

Print provided with the Setup CD-ROM.

*5 Feeding from the Cassette can damage the machine. Always load in the Auto Sheet Feeder.

Note z For specifying the page size and media type when performing copy or print without a computer, see


z When using plain paper (17 lb / 64 gsm), up to 150 sheets (0.51" / 13 mm in height) can be loaded in the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette respectively. Select [Plain Paper] from

[Media Type] in the printer driver.

For a detailed description of printing media types, refer to the Printer Driver Guide.

z

Media Types You cannot Use

Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory results, but can also cause the machine to jam or malfunction.

z Folded, curled or wrinkled paper z Damp paper z Excessively thin paper (less than 17 lb / 64 gsm) z Excessively thick paper (more than 28 lb / 105 gsm)(non-Canon branded paper) z Picture postcards z Postcards affixed with photos or stickers z Envelopes with double flaps z Envelopes with sticker flaps


23

z Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface z Any type of paper with holes z

Handling Paper

z Hold the paper as closely as possible to its edges and try not to touch the print surface. Print quality will deteriorate if the print surface is damaged or becomes dirty.

z Do not touch the print surface until the ink has dried. If prints get wet, do not touch the printed side until they dry.

z Paper may curl or the print surface may become smudged if you use a large amount of ink for printing. In this case, select <ON> for <PREVENT ABRASION> under <PRINT SETTINGS>.

See

“If printing surface abrasion is not resolved even after taking the actions above:” on page 126 . Do not print photos or documents that contain graphics on paper that curls easily.

Remove this kind of paper for printing text-only documents.

z

If the paper is curled, uncurl it before printing. To uncurl the paper, see “Paper is curled.” on page 125 .

z Put unused paper back into the package, and store them out of direct sunlight in a place where the temperature and humidity are low. Keep them on a level surface to avoid curling and wrinkling.

z If the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat, ink may blur depending on the paper.

z

Photo Paper Pro Guidelines

z Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approx. 30 minutes). Colors in dark images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approx. 30 minutes. z Images may become smudged if you place them in an album before the ink is completely dry.

It is recommended that you allow the ink to dry for 24 hours. z Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.

z Do not store or display printouts in hot, damp, or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or direct sunlight.

z Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from direct exposure to air or sunlight. z Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them. z Be aware that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to turn yellow.

About the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette

You can load paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette.

Loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to and print on various sizes or types of paper.

Loading paper in the Cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job. This is convenient for loading a certain type of paper, such as plain paper, you regularly print onto.

Loading paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette makes the following paper feed methods available:

Some types of paper cannot be used on the Cassette. See “Recommended Paper and

Requirements” on page 22 .

24


z

Changing the Paper Source to Feed Different Types/Sizes of Paper

If you load plain paper in the Cassette and photo paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder, changing the paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and reloading paper.

To change the paper source, use [Feed Switch] on the machine or printer driver.

You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the Cassette for regular use with the printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is always fed from the

Cassette whenever you print.

Continuous Printing on the Same Type/Size of Paper by Using Both the

Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette together

If the Auto Sheet Feeder or Cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically switches to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper.

Routine Maintenance

Replacing an Ink Tank

When ink runs out, replace the ink tank. The machine will not print if the wrong type of ink tank is used, or if it is installed in the incorrect position.

The machine uses the following ink tanks.

Black: CLI-8BK Magenta: CLI-8M

Cyan: CLI-8C Black: PGI-5BK

Yellow: CLI-8Y

Note z Be sure to install the ink tanks in the correct order. The proper arrangement from the left is

Black , Black , Yellow , Magenta , Cyan .

z Should missing characters or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see

“When

Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on page 103 .

Getting the Ink Level Information

You can check the ink tank status by the ink lamp display. Open the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) of the machine and check the ink lamp.

When the ink level is low:

The ink lamp flashes slowly (about three seconds). Prepare a new ink tank.

...Repeats

When ink has run out:

The ink lamp flashes fast (about one second). Replace it with a new ink tank.

...Repeats

If an error message is displayed on the LCD, an ink tank error has occurred and the machine cannot continue to print. See

“An Error Message is Displayed on the LCD” on page 113 .

cannot continue to print. See “An Error Message is Displayed on the LCD” on page 113 .

Replacing Ink Tanks

When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.

Note z To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first use.

z Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open.

This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the machine may not operate properly if it is reinstalled.

z Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or grayscale printing is specified.

Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to maintain the machine’s capabilities.

z Do not replace ink tanks during scanning in documents. If you open the Scanning Unit (Printer

Cover) during scanning in, documents may not be scanned in properly.

Cannot Print Properly from the Digital Camera

The following are the possible errors that may occur when printing directly from a digital still camera or digital video camcorder*, and the countermeasures to eliminate them.

* Hereafter, the digital still camera and digital video camcorder are collectively called a digital camera or camera.

Note z PictBridge or Canon Bubble Jet Direct compatible digital cameras can be connected to your machine for direct printing.

z This section describes errors that are indicated on Canon-brand PictBridge- or Bubble Jet Direct compatible cameras. The error messages and operations may vary depending on the camera you are using. If you are using a non-Canon PictBridge compatible camera and not sure how to clear the printer error from the camera, confirm the message displayed on the LCD of the machine and clear the error. For clearing an error from the machine, see

“An Error Message is Displayed on the

LCD” on page 113 .

z A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes too much time to send data. This may stop printing. In such cases, disconnect the cable between the machine and the camera, and reconnect the cable between the machine and the camera. Then, turn the camera on, if it does not automatically turn on. If the problem is still unresolved, select some other photo and check if it can be printed or not.

z Some PictBridge compatible devices may need to be switched to printing mode before connecting them to the machine, depending on the model of the camera. Also, it may need to be turned on manually or switched to replay mode after connected to the machine. Refer to the instruction manuals supplied with your PictBridge compatible device and take the necessary steps before connection.

z The print head nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect. See

“When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on page 103 .

z If the paper is curled or its surface is scratched during printing, make sure that you are using the correct type of paper. If this error occurs even when you are using the correct type of paper, see “If printing surface abrasion is not resolved even after taking the actions above:” on page 126 .

Printing Area

To ensure the best print quality, the machine allows a margin along each edge of media. The actual printable area will be the area without these margins. By selecting Borderless Printing*, printing with no margins is possible.

* This is available in A4, Letter, 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4 mm, 4" x 8" / 101.6 x 203.2 mm, 5" x 7" / 127.0 x 177.8 mm, and 2.13" x 3.39" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm sizes of paper. If you are copying, you can adjust the amount of image that extends off the paper in borderless copy by setting <EXTENDED AMOUNT> under <PRINT SETTINGS>.

Users in the U.S.A.

Pre-Installation Requirements for MP530

A. Location

Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk for the machine. See the Appendix for the machine’s specific dimensions and weight.

B. Order Information

1. Only a single telephone line (touch-tone or rotary) should be used.

2. Order an RJ11-C modular wall jack (USOC code), which should be installed by the telephone company. If the RJ11-C modular wall jack is not present, telephone/fax operation is not possible.

3. Order a normal business line from your telephone company’s business representative. The line should be a regular voice grade line or the equivalent one. Use one line per machine.

DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line

-or-

IDDD (International Direct Distance Dial) line if you communicate overseas

Note

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, such as the 2500 (touch-tone) or

500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) unit without “Call Waiting” can be used with the machine. Button telephone systems are not recommended because they send nonstandard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.

C. Power Requirements

This machine should be connected to a standard 120 volt AC, two-prong grounded outlet only.

Do not connect this machine to an outlet or power line shared with other appliances that cause

“electrical noise.” Air conditioners, electric typewriters, copiers, and machines of this sort generate electrical noise which often interferes with communications equipment and the sending or receiving of documents.

Connection of the Equipment

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.

On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.

Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format

US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

An FCC compliant telephone line cable cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation instructions for details.

This equipment if it uses a telephone receiver is hearing aid compatible.

160

Appendix Chapter 10

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs.

In Case of Equipment Malfunction

Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this guide, disconnect the equipment from the telephone line cable, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord. The telephone line cable should not be reconnected or the main power switch turned ON until the problem is completely resolved. Users should contact their local authorized Canon Facsimile

Service Dealer for the servicing of equipment.

Rights of the Telephone Company

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service. The telephone company also retains the right to make changes in facilities and services that may affect the operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, the telephone company is required to give adequate prior notice to the user. However, if advance notice is not possible, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, the customer will be advised of his/her right to file a complaint with the FCC if he/she believes it is necessary.

Warning

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.

In order to program this information into your machine, you should complete the procedure to register your name, unit's telephone number, time, and date.

FCC Notice

Model Number: K10269

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Chapter 10 Appendix

161

Note

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC

Rules.

Warning

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in this guide.

If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the equipment.

In the event service is required for the Product during the limited warranty period, Canon USA offers two hardware support options:

Authorized Service Facility Carry-In / Mail-In Service

Canon USA’s Carry-In/Mail-In Service provides repair or exchange, at Canon USA’s option, through

Canon USA’s Authorized Service Facility (ASF) network. The name and telephone number of the

ASF(s) near you may be obtained from Canon USA’s Web site at www.canontechsupport.com or by calling the Canon USA Customer Care Center at 1-800-828-4040, or any time while speaking to a technical support person. A Product covered by this limited warranty will be repaired or exchanged, as determined by Canon USA, and returned without charge by the ASF.

InstantExchange Service **

A Canon Customer Care Center or ASF technician will attempt to diagnose the nature of the problem and, if possible, correct it over the telephone. If the problem cannot be corrected over the telephone, and you elect the InstantExchange option, a reference number will be issued to you. You will be asked for the Product serial number and other information pertaining to your defective Product and for a ship-to location for the replacement Product (must include street address).

The Canon USA repair facility will ship out the replacement Product, via 2nd day Air freight service, prepaid by Canon USA. After receipt of the replacement Product (with instructions and a prepaid waybill), follow the enclosed instructions on how to ship the defective Product to the Canon USA repair facility. The defective Product must be returned in the shipping carton in which the replacement Product was packed and include the reference number, A COPY OF YOUR DATED

PROOF OF PURCHASE (BILL OF SALE), and a complete explanation of the problem. DO NOT

INCLUDE ANY OTHER ITEMS WITH THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN THE RETURN SHIPPING

Appendix Chapter 10

CARTON, AND BE SURE TO RETAIN YOUR PRINTHEAD AND INK CARTRIDGE(S) AND

TANK(S). InstantExchange Service expedites, usually by the second business day, the exchange of a defective Product with a replacement Product, which will normally be shipped the same day if your request for this service is by 3 p.m. E.T. Monday through Friday, except holidays (three (3) business day InstantExchange Service for Alaska and Hawaii). Canon USA does not guarantee expedited shipping service in the event of the occurrence of factors beyond its reasonable control. The replacement Product you receive may be a refurbished or reconditioned unit and will be covered for the balance of the period remaining on your original limited warranty. NOTE THAT BY USING THIS

SERVICE YOU WILL KEEP THE REPLACEMENT PRODUCT THAT IS SENT TO YOU. CANON

USA WILL RETAIN THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT YOU ORIGINALLY PURCHASED, WHICH

SHALL BECOME THE PROPERTY OF CANON USA. InstantExchange warranty program service is available only during the express limited-warranty period for your Product and only in the continental

United States, Alaska and Hawaii during such period.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.


** InstantExchange warranty service is subject to the availability of refurbished or new replacement units.

Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile

Equipment

A. Location

Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk for the machine. See the Appendix for the machine’s specific dimensions and weight.

B. Order Information

1. Provide only a single line touch-tone or rotary telephone set terminated with a standard 6-pin modular telephone plug. (Touch-tone is recommended if available in your area.)

2. Order a CA11A modular wall jack, which should be installed by the telephone company. If the

CA11A modular wall jack is not present, installation cannot occur.

3. Order a normal business line from your telephone company’s business representative. The line should be a regular voice grade line or an equivalent one. Use one line per machine.

DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line

-or-

IDDD (International Direct Distance Dial) line if you communicate overseas

Note

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, such as the 2500 (touch-tone) or

500 (rotary / pulse dial) telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) unit without “Call Waiting” can be used with your facsimile unit. Button telephone systems are not recommended because they send non-standard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.

C. Power Requirements

The power outlet should be a two-prong grounded receptacle (Single or Duplex). It should be independent from copiers, heaters, air conditioners or any electric equipment that is thermostatically controlled. The rated value is 120 volts and 15 amperes. The CA11A modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.

Notice

This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada terminal Specifications.

Avis

Le présent matériel est conforme aux spécifications techniques applicables d'Industrie Canada.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permitted to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly

(telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five.

Even if the dual-line option is installed, the REN is applicable to each port.

Avis

166

Appendix Chapter 10

L'indice d'équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) sert à indiquer le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d'une interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n'excède pas 5.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together.

This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution z Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

z This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing

Equipment Regulations.

z Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

Users in New Zealand

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with the minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of

Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom's network services.

Telepermitted equipment only may be connected to the auxiliary telephone port. The auxiliary telephone port is not specifically designed for 3-wire-connected equipment. 3-wire-connected equipment might not respond to incoming ringing when attached to this port.

The automatic calling functions of this equipment must not be used to cause a nuisance to other

Telecom customers.

This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to or from a telephone connected to the same line.

This device may be subject to ringing or bell tinkle when certain other devices are connected to the same line. If this occurs, the problem should not be referred to the Telecom Faults Service.
