							Loading Paper11
Note:
Avoid touching the surface of your paper or canvas media.
With canvas media that you have previously loaded, it’s a good idea to cut the edge 
straight each time you reload it.
6. Move the roll paper edge guide at the back of the printer all the way to the 
right.
7. Insert the left roll paper holder (marked with a triangle) into the far left slot 
on the back of the printer (marked with an orange triangle). Then insert the 
right roll paper holder in the corresponding slot on the right.
8. Feed the end of the paper into the roll 
paper feeder, located behind the roll 
and marked with the Mroll paper 
icon. 
						

							12Loading Paper
9. Slide the roll paper edge guide against the right side of the paper, but not too 
tightly.
Caution:
Do not load roll paper or canvas media into the auto sheet feeder (marked with up 
orange triangles).
10. Guide the paper into the slot until it meets resistance and hold it there until 
the printer pulls it in slightly. Once the printer begins feeding the paper, let go 
of it.
Note: 
When loading canvas media, leave 2 to 3 inches of slack in the roll as it feeds and 
prints for the best results. If you have trouble feeding canvas media, check that the 
edge is straight and reload it, making sure to keep the roll slack.
11. Open the printer cover and look into the printer 
to make sure the roll paper or canvas media is 
feeding straight. The paper must feed straight so 
the printer can properly identify the edge of it.
If it is crooked or the front edge is visible, you 
may receive a paper jam error when you print. 
To avoid this, press and hold the Mroll paper 
button for three seconds to back the paper out. 
Remove the paper from the printer, press the 
Ipaper button to clear the paper out error, then load the roll paper or 
canvas media again.
12. For roll paper, turn the knobs on the roll paper holders backward to remove 
the excess slack. (Leave 2 to 3 inches of slack for canvas media.)
13. Close the printer cover and do not open it during printing.
Removing Roll Paper Prints and Roll Paper
1. To remove your roll paper or canvas media prints, press the Mroll paper 
button to feed the paper forward, then cut off your printed photos straight 
across the paper at the cutting guideline.
Caution:
Do not pull on the paper as you cut it to avoid damaging your printout. Also do not 
cut the paper too close to the printer to avoid paper feeding problems.
2. To continue printing on roll paper or canvas media, press the Mroll paper 
button again to return the paper to printing position. 
						

							Loading Paper13 3. If you are finished printing on roll paper or canvas media, press and hold the 
Mroll paper button for 3 seconds to feed the paper backward and out of the 
printer. If it does not feed all the way out, press the Mroll paper button again.
4. Turn the knobs on the roll paper holders backward to roll up the paper, then 
remove the paper and holders from the printer.
5. Press the 
Ipaper button to stop the Ipaper light from flashing.
Store the unused roll paper or canvas media in its original package away from high 
temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
Loading Thick Media
Use the front manual feed slot to load 13 × 19-inch media that is 1.0 to 1.3 mm 
thick.
Note:
Make sure there is enough space behind the printer for the media to feed through the 
printer.
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Remove any roll paper, canvas media, or paper loaded in the sheet feeder or 
single sheet guide. Then close the paper support.
3. If necessary, remove the single sheet guide (see page 8) or roll paper holders 
(see page 12).
4. Open the output tray. 
						

							14Loading Paper
5. Open the front manual feed slot cover and slide the edge guide left.
6. Insert one sheet of thick media into the front manual feed slot, short edge first 
with the printable side face-up, until the trailing edge is aligned with the 
arrows.
7. Slide the edge guide to the side of the media, but not too tightly.
Note:
If the printer doesn’t load the media and the 
I paper light flashes when printing 
starts, gently pull out the media and turn off the printer. Then turn on the printer 
and try again.
Caution:
Don’t turn off the printer when thick media is loaded or you may damage the 
printer. To remove the media from the printer without printing, gently pull out the 
media.
8. When you’re finished printing on thick media, close the front manual feed 
slot cover.
