Before Printing

Loading the Print Media in the Cassette

Depending on page size and media type, some paper must always be loaded in the Auto Sheet
Feeder.
If you intend to use only the Cassette, check any usage restrictions in advance.
See“Recommended Paper and Requirements” on page 19.

zLoading Paper

1Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
Important Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape
orientation (B) can cause the paper to be jammed.
Note We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing
photographs. See “Recommended Paper and Requirements” on
page19.
Note For detailed information on the specialty media Canon provides for use
with its various printers, see “Recommended Paper and Requirements”
on page19.
Note zAlign the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without
aligning the edges may cause paper jams.
zWhen 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 page125.
