- 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 causethe paper to be jammed.

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 [Printing Media].
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 are not using the printer, remove paper from the Rear Tray, and 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.

(1) Open the Rear Tray and pull out the Paper Support to support the paper.
Put your finger in the rounded indent of the Paper Support and pull it out until it stops.

Some types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and requires the use of the Rear Tray. If you intend to use only the Cassette, check for any usage restrictions in advance.
IMPORTANT
- Do not leave photo paper, such as Photo Paper Pro, in the Cassette for a long time. This may cause paper discoloration due to natural aging.
