    Before Using the Machine
    *6 If the corners or edges of the 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.
    For details on the Paper Thickness Lever, refer  to “Inside View” in “Main Components” of the 
    User’s Guide  on-screen manual.
    *7 Proper feeding of paper may not be possi ble at the maximum capacity depending on the 
    type of paper or environmental conditions (eit her very high or low temperature and humidity). 
    In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half (around 
    0.2 inches / 5 mm in paper stack height).
    *8 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Tray  before continuously printing to  avoid blurs and discoloration.
    zMedia Types You Cannot Use
    Do not use the following types of paper. Usi ng such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory 
    results, but can also cause the machine to jam  or malfunction. Additionally, when printing on A5 
    or smaller sized paper, do not use paper thi nner than a post card, including plain paper or 
    notepad paper cut to a small size.
    z Folded, curled, or wrinkled paper
    z Damp paper
    z Paper that is too thin (weighing less than 17 lb / 64 gsm)
    z Paper that is too thick (plain paper, except for Canon genuine paper, weighing more than 
    28 lb / 105 gsm)
    z Picture postcards
    z Postcards affixed with photos or stickers 
    z Envelopes with double flaps

    							10Before Using the Machine
    „Loading Paper
    1Align the edges of the  paper before loading it.
    Important
    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 You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
    z Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can 
    cause the paper to be jammed.
    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, refer to “Compatible Media 
    Types” in the  User’s Guide on-screen manual.
    When Printing on Plain Paper
    z You can use general copy paper or Canon’s Super White Paper. When printing on both sides, 
    we recommend Canon’s Super White Paper Double-Sided.
    Paper size: 
    – Standard sizes: A4, B5, A5, Letter, and Legal
    – Non-standard sizes: 2.13 x 3.39 to 8.5 x 23 / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to 215.9 x 584.2 mm
    Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm
    Note
    zLoading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.
    z If 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 45.
    z To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.
    – Put unused paper back into the package and keep them on a level surface.
    – Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
