*1 Paper with a Model Number is Canon genuine paper. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the paper for detailed information on the printable side and notes on handling paper. For information on the page sizes available for each Canon genuine paper, visit our website. You may not be able to purchase some Canon genuine papers depending on the country or region of purchase. Paper is not sold in the US by Model Number. Purchase paper by name.

*2 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature or humidity). In such cases, reduce the number of paper you load at a time to less than half (100% recycled paper can be used).

*3 A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper can be loaded only when Rear tray is selected for Plain paper feed settings in Device settings of the Settings menu.

*4 Available only when printing from your computer.

*5 Feeding this paper from the Cassette can damage the machine. Always load in the Rear Tray.

*6 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Tray before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.

*7 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may become marked as it is fed or paper may not feed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a time.

*8 When scanning printed photos to print onto sticker paper, be sure to select Sticker print in Easy photo reprint. If Sticker print is selected, the type of paper cannot be selected.

When printing photos saved on a memory card or USB flash drive onto sticker paper, be sure to select Sticker print in Memory card. If Sticker print is selected, the type of paper cannot be selected.

When printing photos saved on your mobile phone onto sticker paper, select Stickers for the page size in Mobile phone print setting.

*9 You can easily specify print settings for sticker paper with Easy-PhotoPrint EX provided on the Setup CD-ROM. Install it on your computer.

Paper Weight

17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 g/m2 (except for Canon genuine paper)

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
  • 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.



Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will cause not only unsatisfactory results, but also the machine to jam or malfunction.

  • Folded, curled, or wrinkled paper
  • Damp paper
  • Paper that is too thin (weighing less than 17 lb / 64 g/m2)
  • Paper that is too thick (weighing more than 28 lb / 105 g/m2, except for Canon genuine paper)
  • Paper thinner than a postcard, including plain paper or notepad paper cut to a small size (when printing on paper smaller than A5)
  • Picture postcards
  • Postcards affixed with photos or stickers
  • Envelopes with a double flap (or sticker flaps)
  • Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface
  • Envelopes whose gummed flaps are already moistened and adhesive
  • Any type of paper with holes
  • Paper that is not rectangular
  • Paper bound with staples or glue
  • Paper with adhesives
  • Paper decorated with glitter, etc.
