Solution
IMPORTANT
- When performing duplex printing, pay great attention to the dust and stain on the area (desk, etc.) where the printed paper is ejected. Printing with dust and stain remaining on this area can have a bad effect on the printing result and printer.
- 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.
- 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.
NOTE
- For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, see [ Printing Media ]
When Printing on Plain Paper
- You can use general copy paper or Canon’s Super White Paper. When printing on both sides, we recommend Canon’s Super White Paper Double-Sided. Paper size: – Standard sizes: A4, B5, A5, Letter, and Legal – Non-standard sizes: 2.13" x 3.39" to 8.5" x 23" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to 215.9 x 584.2 mm Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm
- You can load approximately up to 100 sheets of plain paper (17 lb / 64 gsm). However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half.
- Remove each sheet as soon as paper is ejected. If the Paper Output Slot is stacked with printed sheets, it may interfere with the printer’s ejecting process.
When Printing on 5" x 7", 4" x 6", or 2.13" x 3.39" (Credit Card-sized) paper
- You can load up to 20 sheets of 4" x 6" or 2.13" x 3.39" (credit card-sized) paper and 10 sheets of 5" x 7" paper.
- We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. See [ Printing Media ]
1.Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
NOTE
- 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. – Put unused paper back into the package and keep them on a level surface. – Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
2.Prepare to load paper.
(1) Open the Paper Support.
(2) Adjust the position of the Paper Thickness Lever.
Set it to the right when printing on envelopes or T-shirt transfers, and left when printing on
any other type of paper. See [ Printing Media ]
NOTE
If the corners or edges of the paper are smudged, try to print with the Paper Thickness Lever
set to the right. It may improve print quality.
Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing.
3.Load the paper.
* Do not load higher than the Load Limit Mark (A).
(1) Load the paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder with the print side facing UP.
(2) Align the paper stack against the right side of the Auto Sheet Feeder.
(3) Pinch the Paper Guide and slide it against the left side of the paper stack.
