*However, you can use art paper that is not produced by Canon that is up to 53 lb / 200 gsm (only in the Auto Sheet Feeder).
Do not use paper heavier than this (except for supported Canon genuine paper), as it could jam in the machine.
zYou 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).
zDo not stack more than 50 sheets in the Paper Output Tray.
