    Loading Paper
    This section describes how to load paper in the Sheet Feeder and the Cassette.
    „Print Media to Avoid
    Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce 
    unsatisfactory results, but can also cause the printer to jam or malfunction.
    • Folded, curled or wrinkled paper
    • Damp paper
    • Excessively thin paper (less than 64 gsm or 17 lb)
    • Excessively thick paper* (more than 105 gsm or 28 lb)
    * non-Canon branded paper
    •Picture postcards
    • Postcards affixed with photos or stickers 
    • Envelopes with double flaps
    • Envelopes with sticker flaps
    • Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface
    • Any type of paper with holes (Loose-leaf paper is an exception; it is printable when 
    loaded from the Sheet Feeder.)

    „Using the Sheet Feeder and the Cassette
    You can load paper in both the Sheet Feeder and Cassette.
    Loading paper in the Sheet Feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to 
    and print on various sizes or types of paper.
    Loading paper in the Cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job. 
    This is convenient for loading a large volume of the type of paper you regularly print 
    onto.
    Loading paper in both the Sheet Feeder and Cassette makes the following paper feed 
    methods available:
    • Changing the paper source to feed different types/sizes of paper
    If you load plain paper in the Cassette and photo paper in the Sheet Feeder, changing 
    the paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and 
    reloading paper. To change the paper source, use the Paper Feed Switch on the 
    printer or printer driver. 
    You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the Cassette for regular use 
    with the printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is 
    always fed from the Cassette whenever you print.
    For information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the 
    Paper Source” in the 
    User’s Guide.
    • Continuous printing on the same type/size of paper by using both the Sheet Feeder 
    and Cassette together
    If the Sheet Feeder or Cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically 
    switches to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper. To 
    use this feature, you need to configure the printer driver beforehand.
    For information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the 
    Paper Source” in the 
    User’s Guide.
    • Choosing the paper source to match the location of the printer
    You can use just the Sheet Feeder or Cassette according to the location of the printer. 
    For example, if you intend to install the printer in a small place, such as on a shelf 
    with minimal space, you can use just the Cassette for printing.
    Depending on the size of paper you use or during printer maintenance, 
    you may have to use the Sheet Feeder. When using only the Cassette, 
    check that the printer can perform the operations you require.
