Printing
Printing by Bluetooth Communications
The following describes the operation procedure for printing images from a mobile phone
or PDA using the Bluetooth Unit BU-20.
1
Prepare for printing. (Refer to the Printer User's Guide.)
z Make sure that the printer is on.
z Load the ink cassette and paper cassette for the desired print size into the printer.
･Printing of 8-label stickers is not possible with Bluetooth communications.
･Printing by Bluetooth communications is not possible when the printer is connected
to a camera or computer by the USB interface.
･Printing by Bluetooth communications is not possible when a memory card is
inserted into the card slot on the SELPHY CP710.
2
Install the Bluetooth Unit.
z Insert the Bluetooth unit into the direct
print port on the printer.
3
Start printing from the mobile phone or PDA.
z For details on how to print or make Bluetooth connections from a mobile phone or
PDA, read the user guide of a mobile phone or PDA you are using.
When selecting the model name, select "Canon CP710 xx:xx:xx" (for SELPHY CP710)
and "Canon CP510 xx:xx:xx" (for SELPHY CP510) (xx stands for alphanumerics).
z When using the SELPHY CP710, the Bluetooth connection screen is displayed on
the LCD monitor.
z Print the image data from the mobile phone or PDA.
z While data is being received, the LED on the printer blinks quickly (green). While
the data is being printed, the LED blinks slowly.
z During communication, the Bluetooth Unit BU-20 blinks blue.
- Do not interrupt Bluetooth communications until printing ends. If communications are
interrupted, turn the printer off and then back on again, and try printing again.
- Image quality may become coarser if you print on postcard size, L size or wide size
paper. If this happens, we recommend printing on credit card size paper.

When the printer LED blinks
Communications distance
z The recommended communications distance is approx.10 m (approx. 32.8 ft.). However,
the following conditions sometimes cause this distance or printing speed to change:
-Obstacles or radio wave conditions between communications devices
-Sites where magnetic fields, static electricity or radio wave interference is generated
-Reception sensitivity and antenna performance of communications devices
Image data that can be sent
z Downloaded contents or image data, for example, downloaded from a URL attached to
mail cannot be printed due to the security settings made on the mobile phone.
z Image data saved after being edited on the PDA sometimes cannot be printed.
z Movies cannot be printed.
z It sometimes takes time for printing to start after image data is sent depending on the size
of the image data file.
z Only image data files up to 4 MB in size can be sent.
z Image data saved on memory cards sometimes cannot be printed depending on the
model you are using.
z Print quality and orientation (portrait or landscape) are automatically set according to the
size of the image (recording pixels) when the image was taken.
z The left and right, and top and bottom of images are sometimes clipped depending on the
size of the image.
4
End printing by Bluetooth communications.
z Either remove the Bluetooth Unit from the printer, or turn the printer off.
When the Bluetooth Unit is removed, the printer is ready for printing by the USB
interface.
