Congratulations on purchasing your new Canon®S520 Color Bubble Jet™Printer!

With your S520, you can print professional business documents in black and

white or vivid color. Combined with Canon specialty media such as Canon High

Resolution Paper (ideal for business documents that include large numbers of

color illustrations), Canon Glossy Photo Paper or Canon Photo Paper Pro for

Borderless Printing 4 x 6 (for digital photographs), and Canon Transparencies (for

presentations), your documents and photos will make a lasting impression!

Canon offers a full range of specialty media that can be used with your S520

printer, as listed in “Specialty Media” on page 3.

With your S520 you can also print borderless photographs or banners. And you

can use the duplex feature to print documents on both sides of your paper or to

create booklets that are ready to be assembled and stapled as soon as they come

off the printer!

Your Setup Software and User’s Guide CD-ROM also includes PhotoRecord and

other fun and useful photo application utilities for organizing, viewing and

manipulating digital photos and graphic images.

This quick start guide describes basic features of your S520 printer

to get you up and running. For detailed information, you can view

the S520 User’s Guide on the Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-

ROM. While in the printer driver interface, you can also access

online help by pressing F1

F1F1

F1 in Windows® or turning on Balloon help

in Mac®OS.

Windows driver features and screen shots described in this guide

reflect Windows 98 and may be different for Windows NT®4.0,

Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Turning Your Printer On and OffTurning Your Printer On and Off

Turning Your Printer On and Off

To turn your printer on or off, press the POWER

button.

The POWER lamp will flash green when warming up

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

will glow a steady (non-flashing) green when the

printer is ready for use or when the print job is

complete.

If the POWER lamp flashes orange, see “Handling

Error Messages” on page 39.

What Is a Printer Driver?

What Is a Printer Driver?What Is a Printer Driver?

What Is a Printer Driver?

Most computers require special software to link the software applications you

use to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a

printer driver, converts information from the application into a format that the

printer can understand. The Canon S520 printer driver also provides other

features, such as monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.

If the S520 is the only printer connected to your computer, it will automatically be

set as the default (main) printer. However, if your computer has access to multiple

printers, you can set the S520 as the default printer.

Media to Avoid

Media to AvoidMedia to Avoid

Media to Avoid

Do not use the following types of media with your S520 as they could produce

poor quality print images, or jam or damage the printer:

•Paper that is folded, excessively curled, wrinkled or wrapped

•Damp paper

•Excessively thin or thick paper (less than 17 lb. or more than 28 lb.)

•Picture postcards or postcards with pasted photos or stickers

•Sealed envelopes, or envelopes with overlapping or self-sealing flaps

Loading Plain Paper and Other Canon Media

Loading Plain Paper and Other Canon MediaLoading Plain Paper and Other Canon Media

Loading Plain Paper and Other Canon Media

The S520 can print on paper ranging from standard

copier paper (usually 17–28 lb.) to Canon specialty

media paper and envelopes.

The paper thickness lever is located inside the front

cover, on the printhead holder. It controls the paper

feed for the type and weight of the media on which you

are printing.

Use the chart on the next page to ensure that the paper

thickness lever is set correctly for the type of Canon media you are using.
