1. Remove plastic blocking the opening.
This can be done very easily with a screw driver. Just lower the door down and slide a flathead screwdriver down behind the plastic piece and very gently push forward.
Be very careful not to damage the soft bendable plastic, might want to wrap the screwdriver in tape first so it doesn’t scrap the plastic either.
I recommend placing the screwdriver in at one end, don’t try it in the middle.
It should pop out without much effort.
2. How to enable the cd print feature:
I. Make sure the printer is off but is plugged in
II. Hold down [RESUME] (Triangle pointed down) and hold down [POWER] and wait 5 seconds or so.
Release [RESUME] but Continue to hold [POWER]. Double click [RESUME]. then Release [POWER].
Check to see you are in service mode by clicking [RESUME], than [POWER]. This should cause the printer to print a simple diagnostic that’ll list it’s ROM number and list CDR SENSOR=OK in red for the last line.
{{{ Note the color of “iPxxx (LTR) V1.xx”. Non-CDR support will be cyan. Keep this sheet to compare to the one after you change the settings. }}}
III. Click the [RESUME] 5 times then click [POWER].This is the Destination setting option.
IV. Click the [RESUME] 5 times “again” and then [POWER]. This is non Japan, CD-R enabled, letter paper mode.
Press [RESUME] then [POWER] again.
{{{ This should cause the same test with ROM information but this time the “iPxxx (LTR) V1.xx” will be pink. }}}
V. To confirm the new settings and return to printing mode press [POWER]. ß { Don’t forget otherwise it will default to JAPAN IPx100}.
3. Install the driver.
The USA driver will work just fine, it is on the CD that came with your printer. If the driver was already installed because you have been using the printer before you found this wonderful page, you will need to UNINSTALL it and RE-INSTALL it.
4. Install Software
a. CDLabelPrint
b. Nero Cover Designer
c. Acoustica CD Label maker
CD Label Print is OK but some users would prefer other software to create there designs in so I have links to other software such as Nero Cover Designer and Acoustica. If you use Adobe there is a template for it as well: Adobe InDesign template
5. Purchase a Tray
You will need to purchase a tray for the printable cd or dvd to sit on. To know what Tray Letter you need simply look at the properties after you have finished:
Search eBay for “Canon cd tray”: http://search.ebay.com/
