Troubleshooting
Printer will not turn on.
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the printer and a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out a power source issue.
Prints are faded or colors are incorrect.
Check if the ink cassette is properly inserted and has enough ink. Ensure you are using genuine Canon SELPHY paper and that it is loaded correctly (glossy side up). If issues persist, refer to the user manual for internal cleaning procedures.
Cannot connect to the printer wirelessly from a smartphone.
Verify that Wi-Fi is enabled on your smartphone and that you have connected to the printer's Wi-Fi network (usually displayed on the printer's LCD). Ensure the SELPHY Photo Layout app is up-to-date. If problems continue, try restarting both the printer and your smart device.
Paper jam or paper is not feeding correctly.
Carefully open the paper tray and any covers indicated in the manual to check for any jammed paper. Remove any obstructions gently. Ensure the paper is loaded correctly and is not bent or creased. Do not force paper out.
