Basic Operations; Printing With Windows - Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Guía De Iniciación Rápida

Basic Operations

Adjusting the print settings according to your needs allows you to produce better quality prints.
Caution
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately switch the printer
off and always unplug the printer. Contact your local Canon service representative.
To avoid injury, never put your hand or fingers inside the printer while it is printing.
Notes
If prints are unclear or specific colors are not reproduced even if there is plenty of ink, print head
nozzles may be clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern, check the results, then perform print head
cleaning. For details about maintenance, refer to "When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are
Incorrect" in the User's Guide.
When printing in grayscale, we recommend printing with the top and bottom margins of the paper set to
more than 45 mm / 1.77 inches. Depending on an image, without these margins, the printing troubles
may occur on the top and/or bottom edges of the paper such as uneven coloration or white streaks, and
the print quality may be degraded. In this case, print the image using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided
on the Setup CD-ROM. Or, prepare paper whose longer side is at least 90 mm / 3.54 inches longer than
the length of the image, then print it with the top and bottom margins of the paper set to 45 mm / 1.77
inches using your page layout software. For details on how to use the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro, refer to the
Photo Application Guide.
You can use Easy-PhotoPrint or Easy-PhotoPrint Pro to easily do print operations when printing
photographs. Easy-PhotoPrint and Easy-PhotoPrint Pro are provided on the Setup CD-ROM. For
details on how to use Easy-PhotoPrint and Easy-PhotoPrint Pro, refer to the Photo Application Guide.
