Introduction
Before using your printer for the first time, read through the
“Safety Precautions” (p. 39) and “Handling Precautions” (p. 41).
This mark denotes issues that may affect the printer’s
operation.
This mark denotes additional topics that complement the
basic operating procedures.
.
This guide primarily uses illustrations of the SELPHY CP750 and its LCD
monitor. Unless otherwise noted, the instructions are the same for the
SELPHY CP740.
Similarly, the screen shots from the LCD monitor show a “P” for the
Postcard-Size ink cassette. The camera examples in this guide show
digital still cameras.
Please respect all copyrights. Use of images produced by the SELPHY
CP750/CP740 for purposes other than personal entertainment may be
prohibited by law.
This printer’s warranty is only effective in the country of sale. If a
problem arises while the printer is in use abroad, please convey it back
to the country of sale before proceeding with a warranty claim to a
Canon Customer Support center.
Symbols Used in This Guide
This printer supports a variety of storage media from SD* memory
cards to MultiMediaCards**. Please see page 13 for the types of
memory cards that are supported.

Postcard Size Paper
Print postcards bearing your original photographs.
Using your computer, it is easy to add captions and create greeting
cards. Always use paper specific to SELPHY CP series printers (You cannot
use regular postcards).
Smaller Sizes (Card Size Sheets)
Credit card sized sheets make prints that are just right for putting in your
organizer or wallet.
Expand the potential for your prints with label sheets and 8-label sheets.
Perfect for Albums (L Size Sheets)
Prints a standard size photo print. You can also have the date imprint
and borders appear on the print.
Dynamic Images (Wide Size Sheets)
Create images with strong appeal on large, 100 x 200 mm (4 x 8 in.)
sheets.
If you shoot with your camera’s Stitch Assist mode and use the supplied
PhotoStitch program on your computer, you can create panoramic
prints.
Index Prints and Multi-Image Layouts
You can print an index of your photos or layouts with more than one
image on a single sheet.
Additional Features of the SELPHY CP750
If you have the SELPHY CP750, you can zoom in on and print a single
portion of an image (trimming) or apply My Colors effects to change the

Ink Cassette Preparations
Install ink cassettes using the following procedures.
1Confirm the ink cassette size.
Confirm a match between the sizes of the ink cassette and the photo
paper.
2Confirm that the ink sheet is taut with no slack.
Take up any slack by gently advancing the cassette to the next
portion of ink sheet. If you over-advance it, you will lose the
equivalent number of prints worth of ink.
3Open the ink cassette compartment cover.
4Insert the ink cassette until it clicks into place and close
the cover.
To remove the ink cassette, lift the tab up.
• Do not touch or pull on the ink cassette’s ink sheet. Those portions will
not be available for printing photos.
• Never try to reuse an ink cassette. It will lead to malfunctions or damage.

4Close the lid.
• Use paper specified for use by Canon with this printer. You cannot use
commercially sold paper such as regular postcards or paper specified for
use in SELPHY ES series printers.
• Placing 19 or more sheets in the paper cassette (13 or more Wide Size
sheets) will lead to mis-feeds or paper jams.
• Mistakenly reversing the paper in the cassette will result in a poor print
and may lead to malfunctions.
• Do not bend the paper at the perforations or separate it before printing.
• Do not use label sheets that have begun to peel or label sheets with
portions peeled back.
• Do not reprint a sheet that has been through the printer.
• Do not write on a sheet before printing with the printer. It may lead to a
malfunction.

Printing Precautions
This section explains the precautions that should be observed
when printing.
These precautions are applicable to all of the printing methods,
including “Printing from Memory Cards,” “Printing from Cameras,”
“Printing from Computers” and “Wireless Printing.”
• Do not pull out the paper cassette or open the ink cassette cover just after
turning on the printer or while printing. This will lead to malfunctions.
• During printing, the paper will pass in and out four times. Do not touch or
pull on the paper during this process. It may lead to injuries or
malfunctions.
• Placing 19 or more sheets in the paper cassette (13 or more Wide Size
sheets) will lead to mis-feeds or paper jams. Moreover, do not let 10 or
more sheets of printed paper collect on top of the paper cassette.
• Printing temporarily ceases if the printer interior rises past a certain
temperature. Since printing will automatically resume when the
temperature lowers, please wait a moment. (This may occur when the
ambient temperature is high or numerous prints have been produced
continuously.)
• Do not print on printed paper.
