Loading Printing Paper

This section describes how to load printing paper in the Rear Tray and the Cassette.

Hints for Handling the Paper Sources

This machine offers two paper sources to load printing paper; the Rear Tray (A) and the Cassette (B)


.



When You Print on Photo Paper

Load photo paper, or any type of paper other than plain paper, in the Rear Tray. When any media type other than plain paper is selected for printing, paper is automatically fed from the Rear Tray.


Note


For details on loading paper, see Loading Paper in the Rear Tray.


(A) Rear Tray: Load photo paper, or any type of paper other than plain paper


When You Print on Plain Paper

Load plain paper in the Cassette. When plain paper is selected for printing, paper is automatically fed from the Cassette. Only A4, B5, A5, Letter, or Legal-sized paper can be loaded in the Cassette.


Note


For details on loading paper, see Loading Paper in the Cassette.


Load A4, Letter, Legal-sized plain paper when receiving faxes.

Loading Paper

Important


Only plain paper can be fed from the Cassette.


When printing out received faxes, the machine uses A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper loaded in the Cassette.


You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.


Always load paper in portrait orientation (A)


. Loading paper in landscape orientation (B)


can cause the paper to be jammed.

Note


We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, see Compatible Media Types.


100% recycled paper can be used.


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.

Loading Paper in the Rear Tray

Load photo paper, or any type of paper other than plain paper, in the Rear Tray.


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.

Before Printing on Art Paper

When using art paper, dust is liable to be generated. It is therefore recommended that paper dust be removed just before printing.


You will need a soft hair brush (or similar brush used to clean office automation equipment). The wider the brush, the more effective it will be.



OK - soft brush made from material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, horse hair or goat hair.


Important


Be sure not to use brushes as shown below. The printing surface may be damaged.



Not OK - brush made from hard material, cloth or washcloth, sticky and abrasive materials.

Paper dust removal procedure


(1) Check that the brush is not wet and free from dust or dirt.


(2) Brush the overall printing surface carefully in one direction.



Important


Be sure to brush all the way across the paper; do not start brushing at the middle or stop halfway.


Be careful not to touch the printing surface as much as possible.

(3) To complete the removal of paper dust, brush the paper in the other direction from top to bottom.
