How to Print From a Memory Card on a Canon Pixma MP970 Series Printer

The Canon Pixma MP970 is designed to print, copy and scan at the highest levels. It can print a 4 by 6 inch photo at 9600 by 2400 color dpi resolution in about 35 seconds. The printer utilizes a seven-color ink system to produce photos that are richer and more life-like than standard four-color systems. The Pixma MP970 can also scan photos at 4800 by 9600 color dpi and print copies that are faithful to the originals. The printer’s 3.5 inch TFT display allows for image previews in high resolution. This versatile printer can also print from many popular memory cards without the use of a computer.
