Do not use heavier or lighter paper (except for Canon genuine paper), as it could jam in the machine.

Notes on Storing Paper

• Take out only the necessary number of paper from the package, just before printing.
• To avoid curling, when you do not print, put unused paper back into the package and keep it on a level surface. And also, store it avoiding heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Notes on Paper for Full-page Borderless Printing

• Duplex printing is not available for full-page borderless printing.
• You cannot use A5, B5, and Legal-sized paper, and envelopes for full-page borderless printing.
• You can use plain paper for full-page borderless printing only when printing from a computer.
  However, this may result in lower print quality. We recommend using plain paper for a trial print.
