Canon iP7260 Questions & Answers (page 2 of 2)

Hi Gregory, I just tried the Canon software, didn't go trough the process of actually printing a disk but seems to reduce an image quite easily to the size required to fit on to the lower half (what I tried) of the CD template by grabbing the handles to reduce the images size. The image I used was a normal sized photograph in jpg format saved straight from my camera.

Thanks Paul D...someone gave me an answer last night & I now wonder why the hell Canon can't include it with their install disc !! Thanks a bunch anyways OK Cheers ;-)

hi Gayle it goes in long ways it dose fit mind does do you know how wont to bye one i have still got mine hope this helped you did you extended both arms if not let me know thanks
pete

Yes I know it goes in long ways. Ive extended the arms fully. Does the paper slide in between the arms? Cause it won't fit properly. Or does it just sit on top of the guide arms?

OK Answering my own problem.....
The thing that nobody will tell you is that there are 2!!! thats 2!!! trays. Those of us used to seeing just one tray in the lower position (as opposed to the top loading position) (That will be just about all of us!!!) will pull out the most obvious tray which is for card size etc. Then you will alter the side and end paper guides, noting that, as opposed to the pics, the paper length is a third larger than the tray length and finally you will see that the paper wont sit flat between the side paper guides..... Just about now you are about to throw the tray against the wall..... don't.....
Take a deep breath, drop the whole shebang in your partner's lap and say 'you figure it out cos I can't!.... she wont figure it out I can tell you now but she might say 'there must be another tray' and you'll say (irritably!) there's no other tray
Just about 5 minutes later you'll start to fiddle around the tray slot.... push this, pull that..... etc etc then suddenly (be careful it will surprise you!!) as you pull on the lower part of the slot where you took the other tray from will be the tray you're looking for!!!!!

Say 'Thanks Rob' and I'll be on my way....

you do not need to bye a printer tray to print on to cds and dvd it is under the tray you pull out just turn it over and you will see it

*red faced*

Thanks Pete.
The Bride asked me "did you look properly at the printer?"
I said yes... then doubting myself went through the box AGAIN... then had a look at the printer..

There are TWO paper trays underneath it.

Pulled out the top one (That I did not know was there) and she saw a bit of orange tape..
So I flipped the tray over and sitting there in its carryspot is the CD tray.

Honestly, I never thought of looking there at all!

Again,
Thanks Pete.

Oh... and how did the disc printing go?

Well, I could not get the supplied software to import photos or designs I had made, and it didn't want to know about a disc... so I just opted for the Easy Photoprint EX that came with my last printer.

It took about 60 seconds to recognise the printer, but the quality is certainly there!
Next thing is to link the laptops and brides PC via wifi.

Going to uninstall print garden, as it wants to re-organise my photo albums. Bit of bloatware really.

Memo to Uncle Canon... ditch the bloatware. Provide new printers with Easy Photoprint EX or similar as 99% of folks will be colour correcting directly from Photoshop / Lightroom/ photoshop elements etc. Having said that I used to LOVE the software that came with the ip4700, and preferred that to do my printing. I could do loads with that!

all good Ben happy new year to all of you
pete

you can not photo copy with the ip7260 printer
pete

you can not photocopy with it

My operating system is WIN 7 ultimate SP 1 and it works OK. It should run on Windows7 Home premium.

I have a IP7200 series but there is no flatbed scanner in my model, I just needed the CD, DVD disk print function, every thing is very good with this printer. Sorry I could hot help
with your scanner. Regards BOB.

Thanks for the reply
i only found out about the iP7260 not having a scanner literally minutes ago. I will now be looking at the MX726 which "appears" to be very similar but with a scanner
Thanks again
