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.

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.
2
Press and hold the printer’s power button until the start-up image
displays on the LCD monitor.

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.).
