Solution

Caution

If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" / 10 x 15 cm, 4" X 8" / 101.6 x 203.2 mm, 5" x 7" / 13 x 18 cm, or 2.16" x 3.58" / 55.0 x 91.0 mm (Card size) to perform trial print, it can cause paper jams.

Caution

We recommend Canon genuine photo paper for printing photos. For details on the Canon genuine paper, see "Media Types You Can Use".
You can use general copy paper. When printing on both sides, we recommend Canon's Super White Paper. For the page size and paper weight you can use for this machine, see "Media Types You Can Use".

1. Flatten the four corners of paper before loading it.

Caution

Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.
If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. For details on how to flatten curled paper, refer to "Paper Is Smudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched".

2. Prepare for loading paper.

(1) Open the Paper Support, raise it, then tip it back.

(2) Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.

3. Load paper.

(1) Slide the Paper Guides to open them, and load the paper in the center of the Rear Tray WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.

Caution

Always load paper in the portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in the landscape orientation (B) can cause paper jams.

(2) Slide the Paper Guides to align them with both sides of the paper stack.

Do not slide the Paper Guides too hard. The paper may not be fed properly.

Caution

Do not load higher than the Load Limit Mark (A).

The machine may make operating noise when feeding paper.

Caution

After loading paper

When copying or printing without using a computer, select the size and type of the loaded paper in Page size and Media type of the print settings in each menu screen. See Setting Items in "Printing Photos Saved on the Memory Card " and Setting Items in"Copying ".
When printing with a computer, select the size and type of the loaded paper in Page Size (or Paper Size) and Media Type in the printer driver. See " Printing Documents (Windows)" or "Printing Documents (Macintosh)".
