Important

  • If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm), 5" x 7" (13 x 18 cm), Square 5" x 5" (13 x 13 cm), or Card 2.17" x 3.58" (55 x 91 mm) to perform trial print, it can cause paper jams.

Note

  • 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 or Canon Red Label Superior WOP111/Canon OcĂ© Office Colour Paper SAT213.

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

  1. Prepare paper.

    Align the edges of paper. If paper is curled, flatten 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 curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.

      For details on how to flatten curled paper, see "Correct curl before loading paper." in Paper Is Smudged / Printed Surface Is Scratched.

    • When using Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss SG-201, even if the sheet is curled, load one sheet at a time as it is. If you roll up this paper to flatten, this may cause cracks on the surface of the paper and reduce the print quality.

  2. Open the paper support (A).

  3. Pull out the paper output tray (B) and open the output tray extension (C).

  4. Slide the paper guides (D) to open them, and load the paper in the center of the rear tray WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.

  5. Slide the paper guides (D) to align them with both sides of the paper stack.

    Do not slide the paper guides too hard against the paper. The paper may not be fed properly.

    Important

    • Always load paper in the portrait orientation (E). Loading paper in the landscape orientation (F) can cause paper jams.

    Note

    • Do not load sheets of paper higher than the load limit mark (G).

Note

  • When printing, select the size and type of the loaded paper on the print settings screen of the printer driver.
