  • Fan the paper stack well, and tap it on a flat surface to align the edges.
  • When you insert the paper with <Notify to Check Paper Settings> set to <On>, a confirmation screen is displayed. For details, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).
Do not exceed the load limit guide when loading paper

NOTE
When loading envelopes or paper with a logo, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).

4. Align the paper guides against the edges of the paper.
  • Move the paper guides in so they are exactly the width of the paper.
