Solution
IMPORTANT
- Load A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper when receiving faxes. Legal-sized paper can only be loaded in the Rear Tray.
- You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
- Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can cause the paper to be jammed.
REFERENCE
- We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, see [ Compatible Media Types ].
- 100% recycled paper can be used.
- If you cut plain paper to 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4 mm, 5" x 7" / 127.0 x 177.8 mm, or 2.13" x 3.39" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm (credit card-size) for a trial print, it can cause paper jams.
1. Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
REFERENCE
- Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.
- If paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See [ Paper is curled ].
- To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.
– When you do not print, remove unused paper from the Rear Tray, put them back into the package, and keep it on a level surface.
– Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.

Some types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and require the use of the Rear Tray. If you intend to use only the Cassette, check for any usage restrictions in advance.
