For information on the paper sizes available for each Canon genuine paper, visit our website. You may not be able to purchase some Canon genuine papers depending on the country or region of purchase. Paper is not sold in the US by Model Number. Purchase paper by name. If the corners or edges of the paper are smudged, try to print with the Paper Thickness Lever set to the right. It may improve print quality. Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing. For details on the Paper Thickness Lever, refer to "Inside" in "Main Components" of the User's Guide on-screen manual. *2 10 Before Using the Machine *3 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half (around 0.2 inches / 5 mm in paper stack height). Available only when printing from your computer. When loading paper in stacks, the print side may be marked as it is fed in or sheets may be stuck to one another causing them not to be fed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a time. We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Tray before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration. This paper cannot be used in Macintosh®. When copying onto sticker paper, be sure to select STICKER COPY in SPECIAL COPY. Refer to "Copying on Stickers (STICKER COPY)" in "Using Useful Copy Functions" of the User's Guide on-screen manual. *4 *5 *6 *7 *8 Important Put unused paper back into the package, and store them avoiding heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. Do not touch the printed surface nor stack the printed sheets until the ink is fixed. Note For a detailed description of printing media types, refer to "Printing Media" in the User's Guide onscreen manual. Media Types You Cannot Use Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory results, but can also cause the machine to jam or malfunction. Additionally, when printing on A5 or smaller sized paper, do not use paper thinner than a post card, including plain paper or notepad paper cut to a small size. Folded, curled, or wrinkled paper Damp paper Paper that is too thin (weighing less than 17 lb / 64 gsm) Paper that is too thick (plain paper, except for Canon genuine paper, weighing more than 28 lb / 105 gsm) Picture postcards Postcards affixed with photos or stickers Any type of paper with holes Paper that is not rectangular Paper bound with staples or glue Paper with adhesives Paper decorated with glitter, etc. Before Using the Machine 11 Loading Paper Important Load A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper when receiving faxes. If you cut plain paper to 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4 mm, 5" x 7" / 127.0 x 177.8 mm, or 2.13" x 3.39" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm (credit card-size) for a trial print, it can cause paper jams. You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers. Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can cause the paper to be jammed. (A) (B) Note We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, see "Using Specialty Media" on page 9. When Printing on Plain Paper You can use general copy paper or Canon's Super White Paper. When printing on both sides, we recommend Canon's Super White Paper Double-Sided. Paper size: ­ Standard sizes: A4, B5, A5, Letter, and Legal ­ Non-standard sizes: 2.13 x 3.39 inches to 8.5 x 23 inches / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to 215.9 x 584.2 mm Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm (non-Canon genuine plain paper) 1 Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it. Note Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams. If paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See "Paper is curled." on page 85. To avoid curling, handle paper as follows. ­ Put unused paper back into the package and keep them on a level surface. ­ Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing. 12 Before Using the Machine 2 Prepare to load paper.
