In the camera/shooting mode, press the bottom of the 4-way button and you will see the drive mode options appear on the LCD. The top icon (square) should be highlighted. Scroll with the up/down buttons to the 10 second or 2 second delay icon, and then press the Func/Set button in the middle. To return to normal, do the same thing but select the square icon.

I know how to set the timer, but how do you start it?

Once the self-timer is set, simply press the shutter release button down all the way as if you're taking a picture normally. The timer will start and, after the delay, take the picture.

Self-timer (10 sec) / Remote control; 4. Self-timer (2 sec); 5. Self-timer (10 sec): Continuous (2 - 10 shots).

Hope this helps!

Canon 10D takes 30 seconds to shoot after sutter button depressed

You may have it set on shutter priority or the like with the time set to 30 seconds. Try set it to landscape, portrait etc, one of the auto modes, and it should clear up the problem.
