    *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 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.
    *
    6  Feeding this paper from the Cassette can damage the machine. Load in the Rear Tray.
    *7  When copying onto sticker paper, be sure to select Sticker copy on the Special copy 
    screen in the copy mode. Refer to “Copying on Stickers (Sticker copy)” in “Using Useful 
    Copy Functions” of the User’s Guide on-screen manual. 
    When printing photos saved on a memory card to sticker paper, be sure to select Sticker 
    print on the Special photo print screen in the memory card mode. Refer to “Printing on 
    Stickers (Sticker print)” in “Using Useful Printing Functions” of the User’s Guide on-screen 
    manual.
    When printing photos saved on your mobile phone to sticker paper, select Stickers for the 
    page size in Wireless print settings. Refer to “Setting Items” in “Setting the Page Size, 
    Media Type, and Layout When Printing from a Mobile Phone” of the User’s Guide on-screen 
    manual.
    zMedia Types You Cannot Use

    notepad paper cut to a small size.

    „ Hints for Handling the Paper Sources
    This machine offers two paper sources to load printing paper; the Rear Tray (A) and the 
    Cassette (B).
    Here are some hints for handling these paper s ources according to how you are using them.
    Note
    zSome types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and require the use of the Rear 
    Tray. See “Paper Handling” on page 21. For details on loading paper, see “Loading Paper” on 
    page 26.
    z Printer driver settings may be required depending on the usage. For details on printer driver 
    settings, refer to the  PC Printing Guide on-screen manual.

    							24Before Using the Machine
    zIf You Print Regularly on Photo Paper as well as on Plain Paper
    If you use photo paper as much as plain paper, you can load photo paper in the Rear Tray and 
    plain paper in the Cassette. This way, you can switch the paper source according to the type of 
    paper just by pressing the Feed Switch.
    You can also specify the type and size of paper to be fed from the Cassette using the printer 
    driver. You can print more efficiently by specifying the type of paper you use regularly this way, 
    since the paper source will be switched automatically to the Cassette for this paper.
    (A) Rear Tray: Load paper of various types and sizes, including photo paper
    (B) Cassette: Load paper you use most regularly, such as plain paper
    zIf You Print Mainly on Plain Paper
    You can load plain paper of the same size in both paper sources, and set the printer driver to 
    automatically switch the paper source when either paper source runs out of paper during 
    printing.
    (A) Rear Tray: Load plain paper
    (B) Cassette: Load plain paper

    Before Using the Machine
    „ Changing the Paper Source
    Each time you press the  Feed Switch, the paper source to be used switches between the Rear 
    Tray and the Cassette. The paper feeds from the paper source whose lamp is lit.
    (A)  Rear Tray  lamp
    (B)  Feed Switch
    (C)  Cassette  lamp
    Important
    When Printing from Your Computer
    If a setting other than  Paper Feed Switch is selected for Paper Source in the printer driver, the 
    Feed Switch  on the machine will be disabled and the printer driver settings take precedence when 
    printing. Confirm the setting in the printer driver. See “Printing with Windows” on page 47 or 
    “Printing with Macintosh” on page 48.
    For details on paper source selection using the printer driver, refer to the  PC Printing Guide on-
    screen manual.
    When Printing Out Received Faxes
    To print out received faxes, the machine uses the Cassette by default, regardless of the source 
    selected by the  Feed Switch. The paper source used to print out faxes can be specified in  FAX 
    paper source  on the FAX se tt in gs  screen. See “Changing the Print Settings” on page 96.

    „Loading Paper
    z Loading Paper in the Rear Tray
    1Flatten the four corners of  the paper before loading it.
    ImportantzLoad A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper when receiving faxes. Legal-sized paper can only be 
    loaded in the Rear Tray.
    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 for the Rear Tray: A4, B5, A5, Letter, and Legal
    – Standard sizes for the Cassette: A4, B5, A5, and Letter
    – Non-standard sizes for the Rear Tray: 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
    – Non-standard sizes for the Cassette: 3.5 x 5 inches to 8.5 x 11.69 inches / 89.0 x 127.0 mm  to 215.9 x 297.0 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.
    Note
    zAlign 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 143.
    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.
