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 64 gsm / 17 lb) Paper that is too thick (non-Canon genuine paper weighing more than 105 gsm / 28 lb) Picture postcards Postcards affixed with photos or stickers Envelopes with double flaps Envelopes with sticker flaps Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface 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. Photo Paper Pro Guidelines Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approximately 30 minutes). Colors in dark images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approximately 30 minutes. Images may become smudged if you place printouts in an album before the ink is completely dry. We recommend to allow the ink to dry for 24 hours before placing your printouts in an album. Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight. Do not store or display printouts in hot or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or direct sunlight. Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from direct exposure to air or sunlight. Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them. Note that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to turn yellow. Before Printing 9 Using Specialty Media Canon recommends that you use Canon genuine media to ensure optimal print quality. Photo Quality Media Glossy Photo Paper Matte Photo Paper Photo Paper Plus Double Sided Photo Paper Plus Glossy Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss Photo Paper Pro Photo Stickers Media Suited for Business Documents High Resolution Paper Using the Auto Sheet Feeder and the Cassette This machine offers two paper sources to load printing paper; the Auto Sheet Feeder, found at the top of the machine, and the Cassette, found at the front of the machine. (A) (B) (A) Auto Sheet Feeder (B) Cassette 10 Before Printing When Printing for the First Time At purchase, the machine is set to feed from the Auto Sheet Feeder. If you are printing without changing paper source settings, load paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder. Note For details on loading paper, see "Loading Paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder" on page 16. (A) (A) Load plain paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder. To Change the Paper Source The Auto Sheet Feeder lamp lights up when feeding from the Auto Sheet Feeder, and the Cassette lamp lights up when feeding from the Cassette. Before you print, make sure that the paper source selection matches the paper source where you actually loaded paper. To change the paper source, simply press the Paper Feed Switch. For details, see "Changing the Paper Source" on page 14. Note You can also select the paper source using the printer driver. For details on paper source selection using the printer driver, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual. (A) (A) Press to change the paper source Before Printing 11 Paper Source Selection Scenarios Deciding on the usage of the two paper sources to print with minimum reloading of paper depends mainly on the variety of the type of paper you use regularly. If you print regularly on photo paper as well as on plain paper If you use photo paper as much as plain paper, you can load photo paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder and plain paper in the Cassette. This way, you can switch the paper source according to the type of paper just by pressing the Paper Feed Switch. You can also specify the type and size of paper to be fed from the Cassette using the printer driver. You can print more efficiently by specifying the type of paper you use regularly this way, since the paper source will be switched automatically to the Cassette for this paper. Note Some types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and requires the use of the Auto Sheet Feeder. See "Paper Handling" on page 7. For details on loading paper, see "Loading Paper" on page 15. For details on printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual. (A) (B) (A) Auto Sheet Feeder: Load paper of various types and sizes, including photo paper. (B) Cassette: Load paper you use most regularly, such as plain paper. 12 Before Printing If you print mainly on plain paper You can load plain paper of the same size in both paper sources, and set the printer driver to automatically switch the paper source when either paper source runs out of paper during printing. Note For details on how to load paper, see "Loading Paper" on page 15. For details on printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

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 For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, refer to "Printing Media" in the User's Guide on-screen manual. For detailed instructions on how to load specialty media into the machine, refer to "Printing Media" in the User's Guide on-screen manual. 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 (Auto Sheet Feeder only) ­ Non-standard sizes for the Auto Sheet Feeder: 2.13" x 3.39" to 8.5" x 23" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to 215.9 x 584.2 mm ­ Non-standard sizes for the Cassette: 3.5" x 5" to 8.5" x 11.69" / 89.0 x 127.0 mm to 215.9 x 297.0 mm Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm (non-Canon genuine plain paper) You can load up to 150 sheets of plain paper (17 lb / 64 gsm, 0.52 inches / 13 mm in height). However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this 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). Do not stack more than 50 sheets in the Paper Output Tray. When Printing on 5" x 7", 4" x 6", or 2.13" x 3.39" (Credit Card-sized) paper Load 2.13" x 3.39" (credit card-sized) paper only in the Auto Sheet Feeder. You can load up to 20 sheets of 4" x 6" or 2.13" x 3.39" (credit card-sized) paper and 10 sheets of 5" x 7" paper. We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. Refer to "Printing Media" in the User's Guide on-screen manual. Before Printing 15 Loading Paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder 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 76.
