About the Manuals
These user guides describe how to connect the printer to your computer and
print images.
Printer User Guide
Contains the information necessary to print from your
computer, including printer preparation and handling
notes, names of parts, installation of necessary software
and the printer driver, and connection of the printer to
your computer. Please read before using the printer.
This user guide
Describes how to print using the software provided on the
supplied CD-ROM (Canon Compact Photo Printer
Solution Disk).
Explanations are based on Mac OS X (v10.3). If you are using another version of
the Mac OS, the actual screen contents and procedures may vary slightly from
these shown.
Detailed explanations of operating procedures are given in the [Help]
accompanying ImageBrowser.
If a problem occurs, refer to the following:
• Trouble with the printer itself: See the Printer User Guide.
• Printing problems: See this user guide.

Printing
The following software is included in the CD-ROM provided with your printer.
This section describes how to use this software to print images.
For details on other procedures, see the [Help] menu accompanying each
software application.
• ImageBrowser
This software is used to organize and manipulate image taken with digital
cameras, on your computer. You can organize your images then edit and print
them in an easy series of operations.
Before printing, verify that the printer is on, and that the printer is properly
connected to your computer with a USB cable.
Printers and computer displays use different color reproduction methods,
and lighting conditions and display settings affect the appearance of colors
on your computer’s display. Therefore, the colors in prints may differ from
what you see on the screen. This is not a printer malfunction.

bottom of the desktop), to start ImageBrowser.

11
Printing Part of an Image (Trimming)
You can select and then print a portion of an image. This is useful when you
only want to print part of an image, or if the part you are most interested in is
not at the center of the image.

select an image, and then click [Trim Image].

The area inside the white trimming frame is the area that will be printed. You
can drag the edge of the trimming frame to change its size, or drag inside the

3 Click the [OK] button to close the trimming dialog box.
4 Click the [Print] button.
5 Select your printer at [Printer] in the Print window, set the required
items and then click [Print].
Printing starts.
Since a slight border is trimmed from the image during borderless
printing, we recommend that you select an area that is slightly larger
than the part of the image you want to print.
