Note
We
recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs.
100%
recycled paper can be used.
If
you cut plain paper to 4" x 6" / 10 x 15 cm or 5" x
7" / 13 x 18 cm for a trial print, it can cause paper jams.

1 Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
Note
Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.
If
paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend
them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely
flat.
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.

2 Prepare to load paper.
(1) Open the Paper
Support, then pull out the Paper Support Extension.
(2) Open the Paper
Output Tray fully.
If it is not opened fully, an error may occur.
(3) Open the Output
Tray Extension.
(4) Adjust the position
of the Paper Thickness Lever.
The Paper Thickness Lever switches the clearance between the Print Head
and the loaded paper to match the media type.
Set it to the right when printing on envelopes or T-shirt transfers, and
left when printing on any other type of paper.
|
Note
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.
