    Print Media Requirements4-2
    ■Acceptable Paper
    * A label that can be loaded in the cassette is a standard type (label standard card) only.
    NOTE
    •The printing speed may become slower than usual depending on the paper size, the paper type, and the number of sheets you specify. 
    This is because the machines safety function works to prevent the failure due to heat.
    •Some types of paper may not feed properly into the cassette or the multi-purpose feeder.
    Printing Areas
    Please note that the term “printing area” represents both the recommended area for optimum print quality and the entire 
    area where the machine can technically print from your computer.
    Printing area (light shade): Canon recommends that you print within this area.

    Loading Paper
    This section describes how to load paper in the cassette and the multi-purpose feeder.
    CAUTION
    When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
    NOTE
    •The paper in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.•The cassette holds up to approx. 250 sheets of 17 lb (64 g/m2) paper or approx. 20 envelopes.
    When the message  appears in the LCD display, you need to add paper to the paper cassette. 
    Here are a few tips you should follow when you load paper into the paper cassette.
    •Be sure to load paper of the correct size, weight, and quantity recommended for your machine.•Stack the paper so that the top and bottom edges and sides are straight and even before placing it in the paper cassette.
    •Do not print on both sides of the paper. Doing so may cause several sheets to feed into the machine at the same time.•Let the paper run out before you refill the paper cassette.•Avoid mixing new stock with paper already loaded in the paper cassette. When adding new stock to the cassette, be sure 
    to remove the remaining paper in the cassette and reload it together with the new stock. Failure to do so may cause paper 
    jams.
    NOTE
    •Do not use damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper as these can cause paper jams or poor print quality. •Highly textured, extremely smooth or shiny paper does not print well.•The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, discolor, or emit 
    dangerous fumes at temperatures near 340°F (170°C). For example, do not use vellum paper in a laser printer. Make sure any letterhead 
    or colored paper you use can withstand high temperatures.
    •Make sure the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.•To keep the paper from curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper from opened packs in a 
    cool, dry location in the original packaging.
    •Your machine is factory-set to use LTR-size paper in the paper cassette. 
    If you wish to use different sized paper, you must change the setting using the  menu. 
    See p. 15-2 for more details.
    •Do not load paper from  the rear of the cassette under the dust cover.

    3Pinch and slide the length slide guide to fit the size of the paper stack you want to load.
    IMPORTANT
    If the slide guides are not adjusted correctly for the size of the paper, the quality of your printouts may be adversely affected or jams may 
    occur.
    4Load the paper stack in the cassette with the print side down.
    When you load paper with a logo on, position the paper with the print side down (logo side) and load it so that the top of the paper feeds 
    first in the cassette.
    5Pinch and slide the width slide guides to fit the paper stack.
    Make sure the paper stack does not exceed the load limit mark located on the width slide guides.

    Then put it together with the extra paper and tap the edges. After that, reload it in the cassette.
    •Do not load paper from the rear of the cassette.

    Loading Envelopes in the Cassette
    1Arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm, clean surface, and press down firmly on the edges to make the folds crisp.
