Loading Paper
To load paper in the paper drawer, see “Set Up the Machine,” in the Starter Guide.
If you are making two‑sided prints, select the Two‑sided mode. The printed paper may crease depending on 
the moisture absorption condition of the paper, and if you copy the two pages as two one‑sided documents.
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavyweight paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set 
the paper type, especially if you are using heavyweight paper. If the ty\
pe of paper is not set correctly, it could 
adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service 
repair, or the paper could jam.
Into the Stack Bypass
If you are making prints on labels, transparencies, nonstandard paper size stock, or 
envelopes, load the paper stock into the stack bypass.
The paper in the stack bypass is fed prior to the paper in the paper dra\
wer.
The recommended envelopes are COM10 (#10), MONARCH, DL, ISO‑B5, and ISO‑C5. Using other envelopes 
may affect the quality of the printout.
When printing from a computer, make sure to set the correct paper size in the printer driver. (See the PCL 
Driver Guide and the UFR II Driver Guide.)
Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.
Depending on the type of heavyweight paper you want to load, if you load multiple sheets of heavyweight 
paper into the stack bypass, a paper jam may occur. In this case, load only one sheet of heavyweight paper at 
a time.
If you are printing on envelopes, do not allow more than 10 envelopes to accumulate in the output tray. 
Always empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have accumulated.
Envelopes may be creased in the printing process.
For high‑quality printouts, use paper recommended by Canon.

1 Open the stack bypass.
If the paper size you are going to load into 
the stack bypass is different from the paper 
size stored in Stack Bypass Standard Settings, 
set Stack Bypass Standard Settings to [Off] 
in Common Settings (from the Additional 
Functions screen). (See “Setting Paper Size 
and Type for the Stack Bypass,” on p. 2‑21.)
2  Adjust the slide guides (A) to 
match the size of the paper.
If you are feeding large size paper, pull out 
the auxiliary tray (A), and extend the tray 
extension (B).
3 Load the paper into the stack 
bypass.
Make sure that the height of the paper stack 
does not exceed the loading limit mark ().
When you use the stack bypass to make 
copies, straighten out curled paper prior to 
use, as shown below.
Feeding Direction
Curled paper may cause a paper jam.
If there is difficulty in straightening out 
curled paper, curl the front edges of the 
paper upward, as shown below.

To print on the back side of preprinted 
paper, load the preprinted paper face up 
into the stack bypass, as shown in the 
illustration below.
The screen for selecting the paper size 
appears.
When loading paper into the stack bypass, 
align the paper stack neatly between the 
slide guides. If the paper is not loaded 
correctly, a paper jam may occur.
If you are printing on heavyweight paper 
or envelopes using the stack bypass, and 
find that the paper or envelopes are not 
being fed smoothly or evenly through 
the stack bypass, remove the paper or 
envelopes, curl the feeding edges upward 
approximately 1/8" (3 mm), and then 
reload the paper or envelopes. Curling the 
feeding edges enables the rollers to grip 
the paper or envelopes as they are fed into 
the stack bypass.
If there are instructions on the paper 
package about which side of the paper to 
load, follow those instructions.
When the paper is loaded into the stack 
bypass, the side facing down is the one 
printed on.
If problems, such as poor print quality or 
paper jams occur, try turning the paper 
stack over and reload it.
For more information on the print direction 
of preprinted paper (paper which has 
logos or patterns already printed on it), see 
“Loading Preprinted Paper,” on p. 2‑29.

If you are loading envelopes into 
the stack bypass:
1 Take five envelopes, loosen them as 
shown, and then stack them together.
2 Repeat this step five times for each set of 
five envelopes.
3 Place the envelopes on a clean, level 
surface, and press all the way around the 
envelopes by hand, in the direction of 
the arrows, to remove any curls. Repeat 
this step five times for each set of five 
envelopes.
Take particular care to spread the 
envelopes out in the direction that they 
will be fed.

4 Hold down the four corners of the 
envelopes firmly, so that they and the 
sealed or glued portion stay flat.
`
Do not print on the back side of the 
envelopes (the side with the flap (A)).
If the envelopes become filled with air, 
flatten them by hand before loading 
them into the stack bypass.

5 Load the envelopes, as shown below.
FeedingDirection
The screen for selecting the paper size 
appears.
The stack bypass can hold 10 envelopes 
at a time.
Envelopes may be creased in the 
printing process.
4  Specify the size and the type of the 
paper you load.
For details on how to specify the paper size 
and type, see “Setting Paper Size and Type for 
the Stack Bypass,” on p. 2‑21.
The paper size/type setting in the [Stack 
Bypass] setting screen is available if Stack 
Bypass Standard Settings is set to [Off] in 
Common Settings (from the Additional 
Functions screen). If Stack Bypass Standard 
Settings is set to [On], copying can be 
performed only for the registered paper size 
and type. (See, “Setting Paper Size and Type,” 
on p. 
2‑19.)

Setting Paper Type for the Paper Drawers
This setting enables you to specify the paper type loaded in each paper source.
Once you specify this information, icons indicating the type of paper loaded in each paper 
source appear on the paper select screen.
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set\
 correctly, it could adversely affect the 
quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service repair, or the paper could 
jam.

Setting Paper Size and Type for the Stack Bypass
You can set the paper size and type that the stack bypass uses beforehand. This setting is 
useful if you always load the same paper size and type into the stack bypass.
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavyweight paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set 
the paper type, especially if you are using heavyweight paper. If the ty\
pe of paper is not set correctly, it could 
adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service 
repair, or the paper could jam.
If you are using the stack bypass as a paper source for the Copy function, you must select the stack bypass 
when specifying the Drawer Eligibility for APS/ADS setting. (See “Automatic Paper Selection/Automatic 
Drawer Switching,” on p. 2‑25.)
