Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your device, begin by removing all protective packaging tape from the interior and exterior compartments. Connect the power cable and initiate the print head alignment process via the device display menu to ensure sharp results. For optimal performance, always use genuine Canon ink cartridges; third-party inks can clog the fine-nozzle print heads. When not in use, keep the printer covered to prevent dust accumulation inside the paper trays. If you notice horizontal streaks, run the built-in nozzle check utility through the maintenance tab in your printer driver software.
