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.

•

This Quick Start Guide describes some of the features of your

S820 photo printer and how to use them. For more detailed

information, view and/or print the

S820 User’s Guide

on the

Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM.

•

Driver features and screen captures described in this guide may

be and/or look different for Windows NT

4.0, Windows 2000

and Windows XP.

Basic Printing

Caring for Your Photographs

The Canon S820 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 S820

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. Canon Photo Paper Pro

is available in both letter size (8

x 11

) and photo size (4

x 6

). Canon

Photo Paper Pro for Borderless Printing is available in photo size (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.

Using Specialty Media

For optimal results, Canon recommends that you use genuine Canon media with

your S820 photo printer. Be sure to follow all instructions on storing, handling

and printing on the media.

For General Printing

For everyday paper printing, use Canon Brilliant White Paper, Canon High

Resolution Paper, or plain paper (17 to 28 lb.).

Use standard #10 envelopes with your S820 photo printer.

For Quality Image Printing

Canon Photo Paper Pro:

Thick paper coated with a glossy surface. Ideal for

reproducing the natural color of photographic images, this is the best choice for

printing photographs with the S820.

S820QSG.book Page 4 Thursday, October 18, 2001 1:41 PM

Basic Printing

Canon High Gloss Photo Film:

A ﬁlm sheet with a higher gloss than Canon Glossy

Photo Paper. Use this media to obtain high quality reproduction of photo color or to

reproduce photographic images of highly reﬂective surfaces, like metal or glass.

Canon Glossy Photo Paper:

Covered with a glossy coating on the print side of the

sheet to provide near-photographic quality with the gloss feel of a photographic

print. This media is slightly heavier than Canon High Resolution Paper.

Canon High Resolution Paper:

Coated paper that produces more vivid color than

plain paper. Ideal for printing business documents that include large numbers of

color illustrations and graphs.

Canon Photo Paper Pro (4" x 6"):

A 4

" x

size of the same stock as Canon Photo

Paper Pro. Print over the perforated borders then remove the borders to trim away

white margins.

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

A 4

" x

size of the

same stock as Canon Photo Paper Pro, this paper is intended for printing images

that cover the entire surface of the card without a white border.

Canon Glossy Photo Cards (4" x 6"): A 4" x 6"size of the same paper stock as

Canon Glossy Photo Paper. Print over the perforated borders, then remove the

borders to trim away unwanted white margins. Use this media when you want to

print an image over the entire card.

For Creative Media

Canon T-Shirt Transfers: Easy-to-use T-Shirt Transfers can be ironed on to cotton or

cotton/poly blend fabric. You can personalize T-Shirts or even create team uniforms.

Canon Magnet Sheets: Canon Magnet Sheets turn your personalized messages

and images into unique magnets in seconds. Create a fun, useful magnet using

images, photos and text.

Canon Transparencies: Use to prepare presentations for an overhead projector.

Never attempt to use photocopier or laser printer OHP ﬁlm with the S820.

Canon Banner Paper: Allows you to print on up to six connected sheets of letter-

size paper to create party or advertising banners.

For instructions on loading these creative media, see “Loading

Media into the S820” on page 7 or see the S820 User’s Guide on

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