The printer is packaged well, but the original Canon box is not sealed. So it's hard to determine whether someone has "tested" the device before.
Your printer is a printed !! multilingual service book (very good), a power supply and an installation CD with. The mentioned in the instruction manual supplied with still shows a cleaning cartridge (the application of which is also described) and a dust cartridge, both lies not with but.
Annoyingly, Canon delivers with even the USB cable for PC connection. And since I no cable with mini-USB !! had, it took a few days until the printer (grumbling) was put into operation on the PC.
The immediate use is of course possible, if you use the built-in display for input. Prerequisite: You have system sold consumables because a "sample cassette" is not in.
Commissioning (without PC connection) ...
... Was very simple. Ribbon Installation (Canon speaks of ink cartridge) Loading Paper (order separately, sample pack is as mentioned not included) and plug in SD card. After selecting and Duck on the "Print" button very quickly appears the first term. The first two printouts showed me error (small spots), then these flaws is no longer appeared.
The Pressure ...
... Affects a little chilly. The colors could be shown a little warmer. In the menu this can indeed change, but only until you turn off the printer, then the factory setting is reinstated.
The same applies to the automatic image optimization. Off image optimization applies only to turn off the printer.
The PC software ...
... Could be installed with me on WIN7-64bit without problems. When laptop with WIN7-32bit the photo software did not start or it appeared on the charging time only window.
The software is very easy to use, but seemed a bit "naive", after the first start I thought spontaneously at a children's software.
Operation ...
... The printer is simple. The consumables can easily change the menu structure is intuitive, so it is easy to understand.
When 810er the extra battery on the go can not to terminals, the terminal of the battery is carried out unsightly manner on adapters and cables. A Bluetooth stick is no longer available.
The size of the printer is a little shrunk and thus very handy.
The display is quite rough, so not suitable to recognize qualitative differences between two photos.
Selphy 810 reads SD cards and related to the SD card. The xD-Picture Card requires a special adapter. CF and Microdrive (for prof. SLRs) are also available.
For Sony's Memory Stick There is no interface.
From USB flash drive and camera can be printed directly, but my USB stick only function smoothly if otherwise no other files and folders on the stick are, otherwise the photos will be recognized times and times not.

++ Easy to use
