The POWER lamp will ﬂash green when warming

up or when a print job is being sent to the printer.

Error Messages” on page 69.

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.

Selecting the S530D Photo Printer for Use

If the S530D is the only printer connected to your computer, it will be used

automatically every time you print. However, if your computer has access to

multiple printers, you can set the S530D as the default (main) printer.

To set the S530D as the default printer in Windows

Click

Start

, then:

•

Windows XP:

Select

Basic Printing

Loading Media into the S530D

Follow these instructions and tips for loading media into the printer.

•

To prevent paper jams, always fan the sheets and align the edges before you

load them into the printer.

•

Handle media carefully by its edges.

•

Never touch the print surface (the glossy or brighter white side of the sheets).

•

Dirt or ﬁngerprints on the print surface will adversely affect print quality.

•

To prevent changes in color, never stack printed sheets after they have

been printed.

•

Cover printed sheets with one sheet of plain paper to protect the printed

surface, even if you intend to store them in clear plastic folders.

To load plain paper or other Canon media

Make sure the paper

thickness lever is set

correctly for the media used.

Pinch and slide the paper

guide completely to the left.

Fan the edges of the sheets

to remove static cling.

Tap the edges of the stack

against a ﬂat surface so the

stack is aligned.

Insert the media into the paper rest, with the print side facing up.

Slide the paper guide right to the edge of the media until ﬁrmly in place.

7. Select the correct media setting in the printer driver. (See “Chapter 2:

Advanced Print Features” on page 13.

For more information on loading media, see the S530D User’s

Guide on the Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM.

Basic Printing

Caring for Your Photographs

The Canon S530D 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 S530D

Photo Printer will ensure that print quality lasts long into the future.

Many environmental factors can 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:

•Use Canon Photo Paper Pro and genuine Canon inks. Try Canon Photo

Paper Pro or Canon Photo Paper Pro for Borderless Printing (4"x 6").

Both papers are speciﬁcally designed to work with genuine Canon inks.

•Mount images under glass to reduce exposure to ozone, cigarette smoke and

other environmental factors that can degrade images.

•Keep printed images out of direct sunlight or other intense light sources.
