*1 Paper with a Model Number is Canon genuine paper. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with
the paper for detailed information on the printable side and notes on handling paper. For information on
the page sizes available for each Canon genuine paper, visit our website. You may not be able to
purchase some Canon genuine papers depending on the country or region of purchase. Paper is not
sold in the US by Model Number. Purchase paper by name.
*2 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the maximum capacity depending on the type of paper
or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature or humidity). In such cases, reduce the
number of paper you load at a time to less than half (100% recycled paper can be used).
*3 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may become marked as it is fed or paper may not feed
properly. In this case, load one sheet at a time.

  Important
 If you cut plain paper into small paper such as 4 x 6 / 10 x 15 cm, 4 x 8 / 101.6 x 203.2 mm, 5 x
7 / 13 x 18 cm, or 2.16 x 3.58 / 55.0 x 91.0 mm (Card size) to perform trial print, it can cause
paper jams.
 Always load paper in the portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in the landscape orientation (B) can
cause paper jams.
 When performing duplex printing, make sure that there is no uneven surface or no dust and stain on
the area (desk, etc.) where the printed paper is ejected. If there is uneven surface or dust and
stain on that area, the printing result and printer can be badly effected.
  Note 
 We recommend Canon genuine photo paper for printing photos.
For details on the Canon genuine paper, see Media Types You can Use.
 You can use general copy paper. When printing on both sides, we recommend Canons SuperWhite Paper.
For the page size and paper weight you can use for the printer, see Media Types You can Use.
1.Flatten the four corners of paper before loading it.
  Note 
 Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may
cause paper jams.
 If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until
the paper becomes completely flat.
For details on flattening curled paper, refer to the Troubleshooting in the on-screen manual: 
Advanced Guide.
2.Prepare for loading the paper.

							(1) Open the Paper Support.
(2) Adjust the position of the Paper Thickness Lever.
This lever switches the clearance between the Print Head and the loaded paper to match the media type.
Set it to the left when printing on plain paper.
Set it to the right when printing on envelopes or T-shirt transfers.
  Note 
 If the corners or edges of paper are smudged, try to print with the Paper Thickness Lever
set to the right. It may improve print quality.
Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing.
3.Load paper.
(1) Align the paper stack against the right side of the Rear Tray (A) and load it WITH
THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU and WITH THE BOTTOM UP.
  Note 
 Do not load higher than the Load Limit Mark (B).
