    							7 Before Using the Printer
    „Turning off the Printer
    1To turn off the printer, press the Power button.
    When the Power lamp stops flashing, the printer is turned 
    off.
    This takes a few seconds or as long as around 15 
    seconds.
    Important
    When turning off the printer
    Follow the procedure below to turn off the printer.
    1. Confirm that the Power lamp on the printer 
    has gone out.
    2. Unplug the power plug from the wall outlet or 
    switch off the power outlet strip.
    When you press the Power button to turn off the 
    printer, the printer automatically puts a protective cap 
    on the Print Head to prevent the ink from drying. If you 
    remove the power plug or switch off the power outlet 
    strip before the Power lamp goes out, this capping will 
    not be done properly, causing the Print Head to dry 
    and clog.

    „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 If envelopes cannot be fed properly, reduce sheets of envelopes in the Rear Tray.
    *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 or envelope from the Paper 
    Output Tray before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.

    							10Before Using the Printer
    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 printer 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.
    ImportantzPut 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.
    Note
    For a detailed description of printing media types, refer to “Printing Media” in the User’s Guide on-
    screen manual. 
    						
    							11 Before Using the Printer
    „Loading Paper
    1Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
    ImportantzYou cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
    zAlways 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, see “Using Specialty 
    Media” on page 8.
    When Printing on Plain Paper
    zYou 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)
    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.
    z100% recycled paper can be used.
    Note
    zAlign the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may 
    cause paper jams.
    zIf 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 49.
    zTo 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.

    direction.
    zIf the corner of the envelope flap is folded, flatten it.
    zIf the leading edge of an envelope is puffed up or curled, use a pen to press the envelope 
    flat and sharpen the crease.
    Press the envelope flat, working from the middle to the edge.
    * The above illustrations show a side view of the leading edge of the envelope.
