Setting the paper thickness lever

The paper thickness lever adjusts the gap between the print head and the print media to suit the print media' s thickness. Before printing, be sure to set the paper thickness lever.

Set the paper thickness lever to the right position when printing envelopes or on heavy non Canon brand paper.

The image is for the iP1600.  The paper thickness levers for the iP6220D and iP6210D are in the same location.

Set the paper thickness lever to the left when using plain paper or Canon photo paper.
