Congratulations on purchasing your new Canon®S600 Color Bubble Jet™Printer!
With this printer, you can print basic business documents in color or black and
white, as well as print on a variety of specialty media, such as Canon High
Resolution Paper (ideal for business documents such as presentations that
include large numbers of color illustrations), Canon Glossy Photo Paper or Canon
Photo Paper Pro (for digital photographs) and Canon Transparencies (for
presentations). For a full list of the Canon specialty media that can be used with
your S600 printer, see “Specialty Media” on page 3.

Turning Your Printer On and Off
To turn your printer on or off, press the
POWER button.
The POWER lamp will flash green when
warming up or when a print job is being
sent to the printer. It will glow a steady
(non-flashing) green when the printer is
ready for use or when the print job is
complete.
This quick start guide describes some of the features of your
S600 printer and how to use them. For more information, view
and/or print the S600 User’s Guide on the Setup Software &
User’s Guide CD-ROM.
Driver features and screen shots described in this guide reflect
Windows®98 and may be different for Windows NT®4.0 and
Windows 2000 users.

What Is a Printer Driver?
What Is a Printer Driver?What Is a Printer Driver?
What Is a Printer Driver?
Most computers require special software to link the software applications you
use to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a
printer driver, converts information from the application into a format that the
printer can understand. The Canon S600 printer driver also provides other
features such as monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.

Basic Printing
The S600 can print on paper ranging from
standard copier paper (usually 17–28 lb.) to
specialty media paper and envelopes.
The paper thickness lever is located inside the
front cover, on the printhead holder. It controls
the paper feed for the type and weight of the
media on which you are printing.
For envelopes (see “To load
envelopes:” on page 6), banners
and T-Shirt Transfers.
For regular paper and other media with a left position in the table (see
“Load Limit and Paper Thickness Lever Position” on page 4).
Use the chart on the previous page to ensure that the paper thickness lever is set
correctly for the type of media you are using.
To load paper or other media:
To load paper or other media:To load paper or other media:
To load paper or other media:
1. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set
correctly for the media used.
2. Slide the paper guide completely to the left.
3. Fan the edges of the sheets to remove static
cling and avoid paper jams, then tap the
edges of the stack against a flat surface so
the stack is aligned.
4. Insert the media into the paper rest, with
the print side facing up.
5. Slide the paper guide to the edge of the media until it is firmly in place.
Some papers, especially specialty media, have specific sides for
printing. The print side is usually the glossier side or the brighter
white side.
When using specialty media, do not touch the print side.
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain (17 lb.) paper or 80 sheets
of Canon High Resolution Paper in the paper rest at one time.
Never load the paper above the load limit mark.

2. Slide the paper feed guide to the left.
3. Press down on the corners and sides
of the envelopes to make them as flat
as possible by expelling all of the air.
To avoid paper jams, make sure
envelopes are flat before you load
them into the paper tray.
4. With the address side facing up and
pointed in the direction shown in the
illustration, align the stack with the
right side of the paper rest, then
insert the stack into the printer.
5. Slide the paper guide to the edge of
the envelopes until it is firmly in
place.
Make sure that none of the flaps overlap. If the envelope edges
are not flat, crease them with the side of a pen.
Do not allow more than 10 envelopes to stack on the paper
output tray.
