Canon is a world leader in document, image and print technology. At home, printers are useful for printing papers, reports, and even for taking photos. This technique at home is useful to those who are still studying or working in the office to quickly and accurately print the necessary information from a computer or flash-drive. Modern printer models are characterized by an organic design and versatility, they have dozens of useful functions.
Manual
Before using the equipment, familiarize yourself with the safety precautions and basic functions. It is important to know how to use the Canon printer correctly so that the equipment runs smoothly. You can print images and information on a printer solely for your personal use, without violating the copyrights of publishers.
Proper handling and safety precautions will help prevent damage to the printer and damage to the health of others. To connect the printer, it is recommended to use only the specified power sources and not to disconnect the machine from the network during printing. If this happens, restart the printer and wait until the paper comes out. Removing pieces of paper by force is not worth it, it can damage the internal structure of the equipment. A few tips on how to use a Canon printer:
- To avoid personal injury, do not put your hands inside the printer, especially when it is operational.
- It is not recommended to install the equipment in direct sunlight, in a room with a temperature of more than 40 degrees, with a high level of humidity or dust.
- Do not touch the printer with wet hands.
- Before removing dust from the housing, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
If ink has leaked from the cartridge, it is strictly forbidden to use alcohol or any other paint thinner to remove it.
Setting up the printer
Canon technology works with several paper sizes. Typically, paper stocks and ink cartridges are purchased separately. Next, we’ll show you how to prepare your Canon printer for use.
Ink cassette. Carefully take the cartridge, so as not to touch the sheet of paint with your fingers, and insert it into the appropriate slot on the printer. The sheet must be stretched, otherwise it will tear during operation. You can adjust the tension of the ink sheet by turning the latch on the outside of the cassette slightly. An overly tightened lock will cause the ink for the Canon printer to run out very quickly. Protect the cartridge from dust and dirt; this will affect print quality.
Paper cassette The paper and cartridge sizes should be the same. We open the cover of the paper cassette, holding the sheets with two fingers, stack them with the glossy side up. This is a special photo paper. Regular A4 sheets are installed in the appropriate slot. Close the cover until it clicks.
Printer Connection
After preparing ink and paper, we insert the cartridges into the holes set for them until they stop. The outer cover on the paper cassette is left open. Let's see how to connect a Canon printer.
We install the equipment in its designated place: on a flat table or any other stable surface. A minimum of 10 centimeters of free space is recommended around the printer. We connect the plug of the power supply to the corresponding socket and only then we plug the cable into the network. Press and hold the “Start” button until the screen lights up.
Language and print settings
The LCD screen can be raised at an angle of 45 degrees. Using the buttons indicated by the arrows, select the setup menu and click OK. Also, use the arrows to select the desired input language from the proposed list and confirm by clicking on the "OK" button. If you do not know how to use a Canon printer, you can peek at the description of the buttons in the instructions that came with it. Well, or ask someone to set up the printer for you.
Printers support almost all formats of memory cards and flash drives. For some memory cards you will have to buy a special adapter. In this case, insert the card into the adapter and only then connect it to the printer in the appropriate slot.
So, how to set up a Canon printer to print information. Pre-connect the source of information to the printer. On the screen, select an image or text. For each file, set the number of printed copies. Check if everything is OK with the ink and paper in the printer. To start printing, press the button in the form of a piece of paper. If there are a lot of instances, remove them from the output area in time. You can cancel printing by pressing the return button.
Printer Care
