    „Preparing the Printer
    •  For detailed information on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its 
    various printers, refer to the section Using Specialty Media on page 9.
    • Consult Printing Media in the 
    Users Guide for detailed instructions on how to load 
    specialty media into the printer.
    1Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
    2Prepare to load paper.
    Note• When paper is curled, gently bend it in the opposite direction until 
    the paper becomes completely flat.
    • To prevent paper from being curled, we recommend handling it in the 
    following ways:
    - Put unused paper back into the package, and store them 
    horizontally.
    - Remove only as many sheets from the package as you need right 
    before printing.
    (1)Open the Paper Support.
    (2) Move the Paper Thickness Lever to the 
    correct position for the media in use.
    Move the lever to its left position for 
    plain paper, and move it to the right 
    position for envelopes and T-Shirt 
    Transfers.
    SeeCanon Specialty Media on page 10.

    3Load the paper.
    „Loading Plain Paper
    Note• Place the printer on a flat surface.
    • Do not place any obstacles in front of the printer to keep this area 
    open for paper which is ejected.
    • Remove each sheet as soon as paper is ejected. If the Paper Output 
    Slot is stacked with printed sheets it may interfere with the printers 
    ejecting process.
    • When performing duplex printing, pay great attention to the dust and 
    stain on the area (desk, etc.) where the printed paper is ejected.
    Printing with dust and stain remaining on this area can have a bad 
    effect on the printing result and printer.
    Note• Remove the printed papers as necessary from the Paper Output Slot.
    • Do not touch the printed surfaces until the ink dries. For specific 
    drying times, refer to the instructions packaged with your media.
    (3) Slide the Paper Guide against the left 
    side of the stacked papers.(1) Insert the paper into the Auto Sheet 
    Feeder with the print side facing up.
    When loading the 4 x 6 paper, load 
    sheets in the portrait position (short 
    side facing down).
    (2) Align stacked papers against the right 
    side of the Auto Sheet Feeder. Load Limit Mark
    Do not load beyond this Load 
    Limit Mark.
