„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  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.
*
3  Available only when printing from your computer.
*4  We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet or envelope from the Paper 
Output Tray before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.
*
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.
*

media type other than plain paper is selected fo r printing, paper is automatically fed from the

automatically fed from the Cassette. Only A4, B5, A5, Letter, or Legal-sized paper can be 
loaded in the Cassette.

„ Loading Paper
z Loading Paper in the Rear Tray
Load photo paper, or any type of paper other than plain paper, in the Rear Tray.
1Flatten the four corners of  the paper before loading it.
ImportantzOnly plain paper can be fed from the Cassette.
z When printing out received faxes, the machine uses A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper 
loaded in the Cassette. For details, see “Changing the Print Settings” on page 93.
z You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
z Always 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 20.
When Printing on Plain Paper
z You 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: 5.5 x 8.27 inches to 8.5 x 14.00 inches / 139.7 x 210.0 mm to 215.9 x 
355.6 mm
Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm (non-Canon genuine plain paper)
z 100% recycled paper can be used.
z If 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.
NotezAlign the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may 
cause paper jams.
z If 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 144.
z To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.
– When you do not print, remove unused paper from the Rear Tray, put them back into the 
package, and keep it on a level surface.
– Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
