„Loading Paper

Important

zLoad A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper when receiving faxes.

zIf 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.

zYou cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.

zAlways load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can cause the paper to be jammed.

(A)(B)

Note

zWe 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

zYou 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

zAlign the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.

zIf 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.

zTo 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.
