Solution

The steps below show you how to load paper in the PRO-1 printer. Before you load and print, it's important to know a few things about paper.


Prepare the paper

  • Align the edges of paper neatly before loading.

  • If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.

  • Always load paper in portrait orientation (C). Loading paper in landscape orientation (D) may cause paper jams.

Load paper in the rear tray

  1. Prepare the paper as shown above.

  2. Open the paper support on the rear tray (1) and the paper output tray (2). Pull out the output tray extension (3). If there is an inner cover (A), close it.

  1. If your printer has an inner cover (A), close it.

  2. Open the paper support (1), and pull it out. Gently open the paper output tray (2), and pull out the output tray extension (3).

About paper

  • Refer to Media types you can use for details on the type and amount of paper you can use for a specific print project.

  • We recommend Canon genuine photo paper for printing photos.

  • If you cut plain paper into small sizes such as 4"x 6" (10x15 cm), or 5"x7" (13x18cm), it can cause paper jams.

  • The manual feed tray doesn't accept plain paper. When printing on plain paper, load it in the rear tray.
