Loading Plain Paper/Photo Paper

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. For the page size and paper weight you can use for this machine, see [ Media Types You Can Use ]

Align the loading paper. 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.
