Can I use general printer paper or postcards?

No. Always use paper specific to SELPHY CP series printers included in the

genuine Canon brand “Color Ink/Paper Sets”.

Paper sets specific to SELPHY ES series cannot be used.

How can I use Card Size or Wide Size paper cassettes?

Card Size and Wide Size paper cassettes are shaped a little differently from the

Postcard Size and L Size paper cassettes. Open the outer lid and inner lid, and

set the paper into the cassette. Close only the inner lid and insert the paper

cassette into the printer.

monitor when the ink runs out. Please exchange the ink cassette

with a new one.

Note that unlike inkjet printers, SELPHY series printers cannot

print any more prints than those noted on the color ink/paper

set packages.

Printing by Connecting Your Camera

If your Canon digital camera has a (Print/Share) button, you can

connect the camera to the printer for easy printing.

Printing from Mobile Phones

The CP750 can print without a cable connection from a mobile phone

that supports infrared data transmission (IrDA, IrSimple). If you use a

mobile phone that supports the Bluetooth protocol, you can print

wirelessly with the separately sold Bluetooth Unit BU-20.

Pull the cable out of the printer and attach it to the camera’s DIGITAL

terminal.

Press and hold the printer’s power button until the start-up image

displays on the LCD monitor.

Select an image on the camera’s LCD monitor and press the

(Print/Share) button.

Extends up to 30 cm (12 in.)

DIGITAL Terminal

Confirm that all memory

cards have been removed

from the printer.

Retracting the Cable

Lightly pull on the cable,

then while holding the

cable let it retract into

the printer.

Non-Canon brand cameras that are

compliant with PictBridge can also be

used. If the connector on the cable does

not fit your camera’s terminal, use the

USB cable supplied with your camera.

Refer to your camera’s operation

manual for further details.

Up to approximately

20 cm (7.9 in.)

Hold the mobile phone within 10

degrees of the sensor in any direction.

The distance over which infrared

data signals can be transmitted

varies according to the mobile

phone model and transmission

environment.

The signal transmission distance for

Bluetooth is about 10 m (32.8 ft.).
