IMPORTANT
If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" / 10 x 15 cm, 4" X 8" / 101.6 x 203.2 mm, 5" x 7" / 13 x 18 cm, or 2.16" x 3.58" / 55.0 x 91.0 mm (Card size) to perform trial print, it can cause paper jams.
NOTE
  • We recommend Canon genuine photo paper for printing photos. For details on the Canon genuine paper, see

1. Prepare paper.
Align the edges of paper. If paper is curled, flatten 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 curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.


2. Load paper.




(1) Open the Paper Support, raise it, then tip it back.




(2) Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.










(3) Slide the Paper Guides (A) to open them, and load the paper in the center of the Rear Tray WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.
IMPORTANT
Always load paper in the portrait orientation (B). Loading paper in the landscape orientation (C) can cause paper jams.





(4) Slide the Paper Guides (A) to align them with sides of the paper stack.
Do not slide the Paper Guides too hard. The paper may not be fed properly.


NOTE
Do not load sheets of paper higher than the Load Limit Mark (D).

After loading paper

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

  • 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.
