   1 How do you reset a pro9000 back to usa mode in case it needs to be sent back to canon for warranty work. Just curious for that just in case moment. Thanks, randy Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

   4 Administrator Comment Bob Cohen: Are you using the “preview before print” feature? What software are you using? Can you email me a picture? Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

5. Bob Cohen Permalink Jun 1st, 2007 10:25 pm

   5 Yes, generally doing a preview before print Using CD-Label Print as downloaded from the UK site. It worked on my IP6600D just a few weeks ago. I’ve already given away the bad disks, but imagine a completely unprinted vertical strip along the right-hand side of the disk, about 1/2″ wide at its widest (i.e. at the center). The left edge of the strip is vertical and the strip extends horizontally to the right edge of the disk. I will recreate on a sample and send an email in a couple of days.

    13 Now that I just paid for a tray for my pro9000. It occurred to me that this might not work with a MAC. Can you tell me if the MAC driver is ok. If not can you change my order to the ip42000 tray cause I have a pc I use with that printer. Thanks in advance Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

    14 Administrator Comment The MAC driver will work fine with the PRO9000, the only problem with MAC’s had is with Canon CD Label Print. If you use other software like Adobe and a template you will have no problems with it. However if you need to use CD Label Print their is help here from other MAC users: http://pixma.ulmb.com/?p=181 Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

    15 I just setup on a PIXMA Pro9500. Just a few notes on differences in your instructions: You might want to mention to 1) wait till the blue light stops flashing before double-clicking the resume button or the 5 clicks on resume. 2) I neglected to raise the inner print tray when attempting to print the diagnostic sheet. Therefore it wouldn’t print. 3) I needed to load legal size paper, letter was not the correct size for the diagnostic sheet. The print out for the 9500 diagnostic sheet has version 1.06 on it. The last line is in black and says: CALIBRATION = OK OK OK CDR(+00063,-00084) After changing the setting it now says in black ink: CALIBRATION = OK OK OK CDR(+00021,-00058) Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

    16 I want to try CD printing with my Canon Pro9000, but looking at the instructions above, I see no “black plastic blocking the pathway”. The only piece of plastic I see is the block on the left side that is out of the way when the front tray is enabled. Do you have a photo showing what you are talking about for the Pro9000? It seems to me all I would have to do is order the tray E, create a Photoshop template, put the printer in the front tray mode, and just print normally. Is there any reason why this wouldn’t work? In any case, I don’t understand your instructions, above, about removing a piece of plastic. I don’t even see a CD slot for that matter. All I see is a very wide opening in the front that would only work when the front tray is enabled. What am I missing? Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

17. Doug Permalink Jul 7th, 2008 (3 weeks ago) 3:41 am

    17 I figured out which piece folds down to reveal the CD opening — I looked at my MP610 and saw it there, then knew where to look. Another question — if I install the European firmware (is that even possible?) would that also enable the CD printing? Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

19. Doug Permalink Jan 8th, 2009 6:53 pm

    19 After making this change, the CD printing works great, but now the printer has terrible correct matching when printing photos. Not sure if it’s related to this change about telling the firmware it’s a European printer, but now I can’t get decent print colors no matter how I set the print driver color settings. Never had this problem before. What is the key sequence for setting the printer back to a US locale? Europe is: IV. Click the [RESUME] 4 times and then [POWER]. This is Europe, CD-R enabled. What is the US sequence? Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

    21 Great help that you provide us for activate the cd label printing option. Now… i have the “The CD-R tray is not inserted or a printable disc is not placed on the CD-R Tray” message problema. i did all steps in this site (5 steps, eeprom reset, uninstall and install, last version of cd labelprint for Widows Vista, cabling, etc) without success… the only thing that i can see is that my printer I4200 came with a F Tray not a C Tray… really have some difference between each tray? if this maybe make a difference, how i can test if a tray C really will work? thanks for your comments….

I’m sure the Mark II is a pretty good printer but you will need the original Pro9000 to print on CD/DVD media. Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

    35 How can I buy one from Canada, other than driving there and buying one? If I order one from a Canadian store, won’t they just ship an United States version to the U.S.? Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

36. Dennis Permalink Sep 15th, 2009 5:40 pm

    36 Well unfortunately I paid $25.00 for a cd printing tray, because when I talked to a rep from Canon, he said that is all I would need, and that was the only difference between the european model and the USA version. He said, really all you have to do is add the print tray. But I am going off of what you are saying, so I am returning my USA model back to Amazon.com, and I am buying a European model from Germany, but be aware, the prices are about double the US prices, with the conversion rate and all. So if you want euro. version from the UK, you are going to pay double what you would for a reguler model hear, and that is if you can even find someone that will ship to the US, and that is 50 times harder than locating the printer itself. Actually what I am going to do is wait until i get the tray, and the european version, and put them side by side, and see if there are any other noticeable differences, and I will let you al know what I see.

    39 I have bought from them before, I bought a euro model of an external DVD RW I wanted, it came and it was for sure the correct model, price was obviously a little higher, but funny thing is, it shipped out of Washington State, and did not ship directly from Canada. I have A QUESTION, how come there is no cd label software available on the Canon EU. site, for anything other than Apple/Mac computers?? I hate to be rude, but Doug, are you 100% positive, that it is not just amatter of popping off that black piece of plastic, and popping in the cd tray and just print to the cd, on the MK II ?? I mean, I do not understand why they would try to “disable” the function altogether, just for the US models. Doesn’t that sound crazy ?? Why go through all the trouble, just to change the entire design of the unit. From what the guy told me at Canon, it is just that Canon did not want to pay the patent price, or whatever the heck it is. Have you, yourself actually tried to print on a cd using the tray, with the MK II versions ? Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

    42 I contacted Canadian NCIX store and they said I would have to order the printer from their US site. Therefore, the only way to get a Canadian one (at least through NCIX) is to DRIVE to Canada. What is the problem with Canon anyway, that they won’t make CD/DVD printing available in the US? Both HP and Epson do it. Why can’t Canon get their licensing worked out? If the Canon Mark II wasn’t much higher rated, I would switch to Epson or HP — tempted to do it anyway since I use CD/DVD printing a lot.

43. Dennis Permalink Sep 16th, 2009 2:34 pm

    43 Hey Doug, Well I took the advice as well to order from NCIX, (I cancelled my order that was coming from Germany), and anyway, I went ahead and ordered it from their website, and I didn’t have a problem, shipping was expensive, but that is the price you pay. Obviously with shipping and all the printer is a bit more, than you can get it here for, but I just called to get an order status, and all they said was it is going take them a few days to get the item in, since it is special order, but they have already charged my pay pal account, and processed the payment info, and assured me, that this printer will be shipping from BC, and that it is indeed a 100% Canadian model. I will have it by next week, either Wednesday or Thursday, and I will kepp ya’ll abreast of the situation. Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

    44 I will be interested to here if it arrives with the CD/DVD feature functioning. If it does, I will consider ordering one myself. I have a Pro9000 now, and I’m not sure how much of an improvement the Mark II is, so I’ll have to consider that. Quote Comment{Quotes will added to the form below}Jump to Form

45. Dennis Permalink Sep 16th, 2009 8:00 pm

    45 I will let you know, they have assured me it will, but we’ll just have to see. I sure hope these printers print really, really well on cd/dvd’s, for all this trouble I am going through, and the expense………….I just hope the print quality on cd/dvd media is great. So far I have not come across anything that prints 1/2 way descent on cd/dvd media, I only wish Lexmark made a printer that had this capability, because my Lexmark was around $149.00, and I have not come across a printer yet, that can even print a picture anywhere near the quality of my lexmark, and I am just now sending back an Epson R1900, that couldn’t even come close to the Lexmark quality. That is my main purpose for even buying this printer, is for that cd/dvd media printing function; I have no other use for it, because like I said, I have my lexmark for all my other printing..

In both cases it worked for a while then quit. Have heard anything about this? I check on-line and others are having the same problem, but I have not heard of a fix.
