Canon Selphy CP740 is a entry-level compact photo printer limited onboard feature set that reflects the relative position between the dedicated photo printer 4x6. However, we love the print quality and ease of use of the printer. If you are looking for a dedicated snapshot printer and you're on a budget, this is a good choice. But if you want more features and are willing to pay for them, check the Epson PictureMate Snap.
Design
The Selphy CP740 compact indeed and can be easily slipped into a tote bag or large purse. It measures 7 inches, 2.5 inches and 5 inches. It weighs £2.1 without ink cassette paper attached, stick, or a power brick attached, with all the equipment needed, it will be a little heavier.
Face up is where the panel interface and control life. A 2 inch colored LCD embedded right on the surface of the printer. Because it is not attached to a piece of move, you must position yourself right at the top for a good vantage point. Along the edges of the LCD is buttons for power, zooming in and out of an image, red-eye removal, mode, layout, and date. Two other keys are print/stop and switch rocker four directions.
On the foreshore of three memory card slots that can accept memory cards are the most common, although some will need an adapter (not included). There are also mini-USB retractable cable to connect a PictBridge camera direct, we thought cable was pulled are a nice touch. Finally, the panels open to reveal the paper input area. Instead of loading the paper directly to the printer, you need to load paper into the paper cassette, which is then attached to the front of the printer.
At the left edge of the printer's two USB ports, one to connect the printer to the PC and another for connecting a PictBridge device (an alternative to the front-mounted mini-USB port). On the right bank are the doors that cover the ink cassette.
