*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 Available only when printing from your computer.

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

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

*6 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.

*7 When printing photos saved on a memory card onto sticker paper, be sure to select Sticker print in the Memory card menu.

When scanning printed photos and printing them onto sticker paper, be sure to select Sticker print in the Easy photo reprint menu

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