    „Paper Handling
    zRecommended Paper and Requirements
    *1 Paper with a Model Number is Canon specialty media. 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 paper 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 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” in “Main Components” of the User’s 
    Guide on-screen manual.
    *3 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 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).
    *4 Available only when printing from your computer.
    *5 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may be marked as it is fed in or sheets may be 
    stuck to one another causing them not to be fed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a 
    time.
    *6 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Tray 
    before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.

    *7 This paper cannot be used in Macintosh®.
    zMedia Types You Cannot Use
    Do not use the following types of paper. Using 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 thinner than a post card, including plain paper or 
    notepad paper cut to a small size.
    zFolded, curled, or wrinkled paper
    zDamp paper
    zPaper that is too thin (weighing less than 17 lb / 64 gsm)
    zPaper that is too thick (plain paper, except for Canon genuine paper, weighing more than 28 
    lb / 105 gsm)
    zPicture postcards
    zPostcards affixed with photos or stickers
    zAny type of paper with holes
    zPaper that is not rectangular
    zPaper bound with staples or glue
    zPaper with adhesives
    zPaper decorated with glitter, etc.
    Important
    zPut unused paper back into the package, and store them avoiding heat, humidity, and direct 
    sunlight.
    zDo not touch the printed surface nor stack the printed sheets until the ink is fixed.
    zIf you select “Photo Paper” when copying, use the following paper types for best printing results:
    GP-401, GP-501, GP-502, PP-101, SG-201.

    							10Before Using the Machine
    „Loading Paper
    1Flatten the four corners of  the paper before loading it.
    ImportantzIf 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.
    NotezWe recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on 
    the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, see “Using Specialty 
    Media” on page 7.
    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 inches to 8.5 x 23 inches / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to 215.9 x 584.2 
    mm
    Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm (non-Canon genuine plain paper)
    Note
    z Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading 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 51.
    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.
