If this does not solve the problem, refer to “Routine Maintenance” of the 
User’s Guide and align the Print Head manually.

Paper loaded wrong 
side up

Check the print side of the paper.

Follow the instructions packaged with your specialty media for 
loading and handling.

Incorrect paper type

On the Main tab of the printer driver, ensure that the Media Type selected 
matches the paper loaded.

In the Print dialog box of the printer driver, select Quality & Media from the 
pop-up menu, and then ensure that the Media Type selected matches the 
paper loaded.

Glossy photo paper 
other than the Canon 
genuine media is used

Select Other Photo Paper from

 Media Type. It may resolve the problem. Load 

one sheet at a time and remove each sheet as soon as it is printed.

Print Quality is not set 
properly

Be sure to set the Print Quality setting to High in Windows, or Fine in 
Macintosh.

1. Open the printer properties dialog box.
2. On the Main tab, click High for the Print Quality setting.

When you cannot choose the High setting or when the print quality does 
not improve, select Custom, click Set and then adjust the Quality bar for 
higher print quality.

1. Open the Print dialog box.
2. Select Quality & Media from the pop-up menu and then click Detailed 

Setting.

3. Drag the Print Quality slide bar to the Fine end.

Printing in grayscale 
without recommended 
margins

When printing in grayscale, depending on an image, the printing troubles may 
occur on the top and/or bottom edges of the paper such as uneven coloration 
or white streaks, and the print quality may be degraded.
So, we recommend printing with the top and bottom margins of the paper set 
to more than 45 mm / 1.77 inches using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided on 
the 

Setup CD-ROM or your page layout software.

If you want to print with no margin, convert the image to grayscale using your 
image-editing software, then print it without the Grayscale Printing setting in 
the printer driver. To do so, in Windows, clear the Grayscale Printing check box 
on the Main tab, then print. In Macintosh, select Quality & Media from the 
pop-up menu in the Print dialog box, and clear the Grayscale Printing check 
box, then print. If printing using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided on the 
Setup CD-ROM, clear the Grayscale Photo check box, then print.
The gray balance of the image converted to grayscale may vary from the one of 
the same image printed with the Grayscale Printing setting in the printer 
driver or the Grayscale Photo setting in the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro.
