IMPORTANT

Always load paper in the portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in the landscape orientation (B) can cause paper jams.

If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" / 10 x 15 cm, 4" X 8" / 101.6 x 203.2 mm, 5" x 7" / 13 x 18 cm, or 2.16" x 3.58" / 55.0 x 91.0 mm (Card size) 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 general copy paper. When printing on both sides, we recommend Canon's Super White Paper. For the page size and paper weight you can use for this machine, see "Media Types You Can Use".

1. Flatten the four corners of 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 curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.

2. Prepare for loading paper.

(1) Open the Paper Support, raise it, then tip it back.

(2) Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.

3. Load paper.

(1) Slide the Paper Guides to open them, and load the paper in the center of the Rear Tray WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.

(2) Slide the Paper Guides to align them with both sides of the paper stack.

Do not slide the Paper Guides too hard. The paper may not be fed properly.
