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 20.

When Printing on Plain Paper

z100% recycled paper can be used.

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.

z Loading Paper in the Rear Tray

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 143.

zTo avoid curling, handle paper as follows.

–When you do not print, remove unused paper from the Rear Tray, put them back into the package, and keep it on a level surface.

–Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
