How to open EL4 file?

The main problem with Easy-PhotoPrint EX Calendar is that the EL4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EL4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EL4 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Easy-PhotoPrint EX

In this case, you should first verify that the Easy-PhotoPrint EX application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open EL4 file

Remember to download programs supporting EL4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Easy-PhotoPrint EX with EL4 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EL4 file to open in the Easy-PhotoPrint EX application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Easy-PhotoPrint EX application as the default for handling the EL4 file.

Step 3. Update Easy-PhotoPrint EX to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Easy-PhotoPrint EX program, it is possible that Easy-PhotoPrint EX Calendar requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Canon Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EL4 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EL4 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EL4 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected EL4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EL4 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EL4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Canon Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EL4 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move EL4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EL4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EL4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EL4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
