Canon : PIXMA Manuals : MG2500 series : Loading Plain Paper / Photo Paper

You can load plain paper or photo paper.

Important

If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm) or 5" x 7" (13 x 18 cm) 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.

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

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 "Load the paper after correcting its curl." in Paper Is Smudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched.

(1) Open the paper support.

(2) Pull out the paper output tray and the output tray extension.

(3) Slide the paper guide (A) to the left, and load the paper against the far right of the rear tray WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.

(4) Slide the paper guide (A) to align it with the paper stack.

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

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

Note

The machine may make operating noise when feeding paper.
