Basic Printing 2 Basic Printing This Quick Start Guide describes some of the features of your printer and how to use them. For more info rmation, view the iP5000 User’s Guide on the Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM , or use the online help within your printer driver interface: While in the printer’s properties window, press the F1 key, or click ? in the upper right corner. Then click the feature you want to know more about, or click the Help button when displayed. While in the Page Setup dialog box or Print dialog box, click ? in the lower left corner. Clicking ? provides detailed information about each setting. When the Help window appears, select your desired topic. Turning on the Printer 1Press the POWER button. The POWER lamp flashes while the printer warms up and changes to steady (non- flashing) green when the printer is ready.
Basic Printing3 zBefore unplugging the power cord, turn off the printer and ensure that the green lamp has gone out. z If the POWER lamp changes to orange and begins flashing, refer to “ Handling Error Messages ” on page 75. Loading Paper This section describes how to load pape r in the Sheet Feeder and the Cassette. „Print Media to Avoid 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. • Folded, curled or wrinkled paper • Damp paper • Excessively thin paper (less than 64 gsm or 17 lb) • Excessively thick paper* (more than 105 gsm or 28 lb) * non-Canon branded paper •Picture postcards • Postcards affixed with photos or stickers • Envelopes with double flaps • Envelopes with sticker flaps • Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface • Any type of paper with holes (Loose-leaf paper is an exception; it is printable when loaded from the Sheet Feeder.) Sheet Feeder Cassette
Basic Printing 4 „Using the Sheet Feeder and the Cassette You can load paper in both the Sheet Feeder and Cassette. Loading paper in the Sheet Feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to and print on various sizes or types of paper. Loading paper in the Cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job. This is convenient for loading a large volu me of the type of paper you regularly print onto. Loading paper in both the Sheet Feeder and Cassette makes the following paper feed methods available: • Changing the paper source to f eed different types/sizes of paper If you load plain paper in the Cassette an d photo paper in the Sheet Feeder, changing the paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and reloading paper. To change the paper source, use the Paper Feed Switch on the printer or printer driver. You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the Cassette for regular use with the printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is always fed from the Cassette whenever you print. For information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the Paper Source” in the User’s Guide. • Continuous printing on the same type/size of paper by using both the Sheet Feeder and Cassette together If the Sheet Feeder or Cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically switches to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper. To use this feature, you need to conf igure the printer driver beforehand. For information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the Paper Source” in the User’s Guide. • Choosing the paper source to match the location of the printer You can use just the Sheet Feeder or Cassette according to the location of the printer. For example, if you intend to install the printer in a small place, such as on a shelf with minimal space, you can use just the Cassette for printing. Legal-sized paper and 2.13 x 3.39/ 54.0 x 86.0 mm size paper are not loadable in the Cassette. For more information on the media loadable in the Sheet Feeder and the Cassette, refer to “Printing Media” in the User’s Guide.
Basic Printing5 „Loading Plain Paper in the Sheet Feeder zFor detailed information on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, refer to “Using Specialty Media ” on page 13. z See “Printing Media” in the User’s Guide for detailed instructions on how to load envelopes and specialty media into the printer. 1Flatten the four corners of th e paper before loading it. When paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. 2Prepare to load paper. You can also select the paper source with the printer driver. For details, refer to “Changing the Paper Source” in the User’s Guide. (1) 1 Open the Paper Support. 2 Pull out the Paper Support Extension to support the paper.
