Congratulations on purchasing your new Canon S800 Color Bubble Jet Photo Printer! This chapter describes basic features of your S800 photo printer and provides instructions on how to set up and print documents and photographs. The following topics are presented in this chapter:
What Is a Printer Driver? Selecting the S800 Photo Printer for Use Printing Photographs Using Specialty Media Cancelling a Print Job Setting Driver Options
This Users Guide describes some of the features of your S800 photo printer and how to use them. For more detailed information, view and/or print the S800 Reference Guide on the Setup Software & Reference Guide CD-ROM. Driver features described in this guide may be different for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 users.
What Is a Printer Driver?
Most computers require special software to link the programs you use to create documents or images with the printer. This special software, called a printer driver, converts the information from the software application into a format that the printer can understand, and provides other handy features, such as monitoring the levels of ink in the printer.

Basic Printing

Selecting the S800 Photo Printer for Use
If the S800 is the only printer connected to your computer, it will automatically be used every time you print. However, if your computer has access to multiple printers, you can set the S800 as the default (main) printer. In Windows, you can also select a printer for one-time use within an application.
To set the S800 as the default printer in Windows: 1. Click Start then Settings then Printers Start, Settings, Printers. 2. Right-click the Canon S800 printer icon, then click Set as Default. The Canon Default
S800 printer icon will now display with a check mark that indicates it is the default printer.
To select the S800 from within a Windows application:
For Windows users, if another printer is set as the default printer, you can still select the Canon S800 for a specific print job from within most applications. (Mac users can change the selected printer at any time by changing the default, described above.) Menus vary from application to application. Consult your application user documentation if the Printer Setup menu option is not listed.
1. From the File menu, click Print Print. 2. Select Canon S800 from the Name drop-down list, then click OK OK. To select the S800 in Mac OS: 1. Click Apple then Chooser Apple, Chooser. 2. Click the S800 printer icon. The S800 will remain the default printer until

another is selected.

Printing Photographs
For highest quality results when printing digital photographs with your S800 photo printer, it is recommended that you use Canon Photo Paper Pro. See Using Specialty Media on page 4 for more information.
To print photographs from a Windows application: 1. Load the printer with specialty media. See Using Specialty Media on page 4
for more on how to load various media types.
2. Open the digital photograph to be printed in a software application. 3. From the software application File menu, select
Print, Properties. Print then Properties The Canon S800 Properties window will appear.
4. Select SuperPhoto as the print mode, then select
the appropriate media type.
5. Click OK to close the window. 6. Click OK again to print your digital photograph. To print photographs from a Mac application: 1. Load the printer with specialty media. See Using Specialty Media on page 4

photograph.

Basic Printing Caring for your Photographs
The Canon S800 photo printer will generate spectacular results for printing photographs, especially when used with Canon specialty media. All images are susceptible to fading over time, but proper care of prints made from your S800 photo printer will insure that print quality lasts long into the future. There are many environmental factors that impact how long a printout will last before noticeable image fading occurs. Exposure to sunlight or other light sources, humidity, temperature, exposure to cigarette smoke and ozone are just some of the factors that can impact image permanence. While many of these variables cannot be controlled, there are basic measures that you can take to prolong image quality:

To print on thick paper:

When you print on thick paper, manually feed paper into the manual feed slot in the back of printer:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on, then lower the
paper thickness lever to the envelope mark.
2. With the side to be printed facing up, carefully
align the sheet with the left side of the manual feed slot, then insert the sheet until the printer grabs it and feeds it partially into the printer.
3. In the driver, select the setting for

thick paper.

For Windows:
a. From the software application File menu, select Print then Print, Properties. Properties b. On the Main tab, select Other Paper for the Media Type. c. When the message asks you to confirm your selection, click OK OK.

For Mac OS:

a. From the software application File menu, select Print Print. b. In the Print window, select Other Paper for the Media Type. c. When the message asks you to confirm your selection, click OK OK.

Warnings and Cautions
This guide uses the following icons to indicate situations that could cause damage or injury: Always follow the instructions provided in Warnings to prevent potential serious personal injury or death as a result of careless operation of the equipment. Always follow the instructions provided in Cautions to prevent minor injuries to yourself or damage to the equipment as a result of careless operation of the equipment. Read and follow all of these cautions and warnings to ensure the safe use of the printer. To avoid the hazards of fire, personal injury, or damage to the printer, never attempt to use the printer in any way other than the methods described in this guide.

Choosing a Location

Never place the printer near flammable solvents such as alcohol, thinner, etc. To avoid the hazards of fire or electric shock, keep all flammable liquids away from the printer.
Never set the printer on a surface that is unstable or subject to excessive
vibration. The printer could tip or fall and cause injury.
Never use the printer in a location that is subject to high humidity, dust, high
temperatures, or direct sunlight.
Set up and use the printer in a location where ambient temperature is within
41F95F (5C35C) and 10%90% humidity with no condensation. Never place the printer on a thick carpet or rug. Fibers or dust entering the printer could cause a fire. Keep the power outlet for the printer free of all obstacles so you can unplug the power cord at any time. Such obstacles could prevent you from unplugging the printer when a printer fault occurs and cause a fire or electric shock. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Always carry the printer with both hands holding both ends of the printer. To
avoid dropping the printer and causing injury, always carry it carefully when moving it to another location.

Power Supply

Never attempt to plug the power cord into a power outlet when your hands are wet. To avoid electric shock, make sure that your hands are dry.
Always push the plug completely into the power outlet. A loose or poorly
connected plug could cause a fire or electric shock. Never cut, modify, stretch, bend, or twist the power cord, and never place heavy objects on the power cord. A power leak from a damaged power cord could cause a fire or electric shock. Never plug the printer power cord into a power outlet (power board, double adapter, etc.) that is shared by other devices or office equipment. To prevent the hazards of fire or electric shock, avoid overloading power points.
