 6  Align the document guides to fit the width of the 
document. 
 The machine is ready to scan the document. 
       
  
  IMPORTANT 
 Up to 35 documents can be loaded 
 If more than 35 documents are loaded, paper jams may occur, or 
the documents may not be scanned. 
 While scanning a document 
 Do not add or remove documents. 
 When scanning documents is complete 
 Remove the documents from the document delivery tray to avoid 
paper jams. 
 Avoid scanning the same document more than 30 times. 
 When scanned repeatedly, documents can become folded or torn, 
which may cause paper jams. 
 Be sure to align the document guides with the width of 
the paper  
•   If the document guides are too loose or too tight, this may result 
in misfeeds or paper jams. 
•   Printouts may be askew depending on the printing environment.  Properly load paper to reduce the symptom.

 *1  Only in MF4570dn, auto 2-sided print is available.  *2  If printed paper curls when [Plain Paper] is selected, set paper type to [Plain Paper L]. However, the toner fixation may be not as good when 
[Plain Paper L] is set. 
 *3  Use only the transparencies designed for laser printers.  *4  You can set Envelope Monarch only in the multi-purpose tray. 
  
 To prevent paper jams, do not use the following types of paper. 
•   Wrinkled or creased paper 
•   Curled or rolled paper 
•  Torn paper 
•  Damp paper 
•   Very thin paper 
•   Paper printed with a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side.) 
 The following types of paper do not print well: 
•   Highly textured paper 
•   Very smooth paper 
•  Glossy paper 
 Make sure the paper is free from dust, lint, and oil stains. 
 Make sure to test paper before purchasing large quantities. 
Store all paper wrapped and on a flat surface until ready 
 for use. Keep opened packs in their original packaging in a cool, 
dry location. 
 Store paper at 64.4 to 75.2°F (18 to 24°C), 40 % to 60 % RH. 
  CAUTION 
 If you print on damp paper 
 The following problems may occur. 
•   Steam is emitted from the printer output  area. 
•   Water droplets form on the back side of  the operation panel and in the output 
area. 
 Because moisture in the paper is evaporating 
due to the heat generated when toner fixes, 
this is not a malfunction. ( This is likely to 
occur when the room temperature is low.) 
 If you smell a burnt odor, however, 
immediately turn OFF the machine, unplug 
the power plug from the AC power outlet, 
and then contact your local authorized 
Canon dealer or the Canon help line. 
Continued use can result in a fire or electrical 
shock.

  CAUTION 
 Be careful when handling paper 
 Handle paper carefully not to cut your hands with the edges 
of the paper. 
 Precautions when inserting the paper cassette 
 Be careful not to catch your fingers. 
   Precautions  when  Loading  Paper 
  IMPORTANT 
 Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the 
paper. 
•   If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.  
•   Printouts may be askew depending on the printing environment.  Properly load paper to reduce the symptom. 
 When using paper that has been poorly cut 
 If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper 
may be fed at once. In this case, fan the paper thoroughly, and then 
align the edges of the stack properly on a hard, flat surface.  
 Do not exceed the load limit mark when loading paper. 
 Ensure that the paper stack does not exceed the line of the load 
limit mark. If the paper stack exceeds the load limit mark lines, this 
may result in misfeeds.  
 When printing on envelopes 
 Load envelopes with the front side (non-glued side) facing up. You 
cannot print on the reverse side of envelopes. 
Also, be sure to close the flap before loading envelopes.
