This section describes how to load plain paper into your printer.

•For detailed information on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, refer to the section “Using Specialty Media” on page 6.

•Consult the User’s Guide for detailed instructions on how to load envelopes and specialty media into the printer.

1Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.

Important When paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.

2Prepare to load paper.

(1) Open the paper rest and pull out the paper rest extension to support the paper.

(2) Pull the output tray extension out two steps when printing on Ledger (11" x 17") size paper or smaller, and pull it out three steps when printing on paper larger than Ledger.
