Important About the Power Plug When removing the power plug after you have turned off the printer, be sure to check that the POWER lamp is not lit.

Basic Printing 4 Loading Paper „Print Media to Avoid Do not use the following types of paper. Using such papers as these will not only produce unsatisfactory results, but they may also cause the printer to jam or malfunction. • Folded, curled or wrinkled paper •Damp paper • Paper that is too thin (less than 64 gsm/17 lb) • Paper that is too thick (more than 105 gsm/28 lb)* • Paper with holes (For example: loose leaf) • Picture postcards • Postcards with an affixed photo or sticker • Envelopes with double flaps • Envelopes with pressure seals • Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface *Non-Canon genuine specialty paper Also, do not use a cut paper or memo pad, when printing on a paper smaller than A5 size.
Basic Printing 5 „Preparing the Printer • For detailed information on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, refer to the section Using Specialty Media on page 9. • Consult Printing Media in the Users Guide for detailed instructions on how to load specialty media into the printer. 1Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it. 2Prepare to load paper. Note• When paper is curled, gently bend it in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. • To prevent paper from being curled, we recommend handling it in the following ways: - Put unused paper back into the package, and store them horizontally. - Remove only as many sheets from the package as you need right before printing. (1)Open the Paper Support. (2) Move the Paper Thickness Lever to the correct position for the media in use. Move the lever to its left position for plain paper, and move it to the right position for envelopes and T-Shirt Transfers. SeeCanon Specialty Media on page 10.
Basic Printing 6 3Load the paper. „Loading Plain Paper Note• Place the printer on a flat surface. • Do not place any obstacles in front of the printer to keep this area open for paper which is ejected. • Remove each sheet as soon as paper is ejected. If the Paper Output Slot is stacked with printed sheets it may interfere with the printers ejecting process. • When performing duplex printing, pay great attention to the dust and stain on the area (desk, etc.) where the printed paper is ejected. Printing with dust and stain remaining on this area can have a bad effect on the printing result and printer. Note• Remove the printed papers as necessary from the Paper Output Slot. • Do not touch the printed surfaces until the ink dries. For specific drying times, refer to the instructions packaged with your media. (3) Slide the Paper Guide against the left side of the stacked papers.(1) Insert the paper into the Auto Sheet Feeder with the print side facing up. When loading the 4 x 6 paper, load sheets in the portrait position (short side facing down). (2) Align stacked papers against the right side of the Auto Sheet Feeder. Load Limit Mark Do not load beyond this Load Limit Mark.
