Paper Handling
This chapter describes the print media you can use with this machine, how to load them, and where to print out the
document s.
Print Media Requirements
For high-quality copies, we recommend using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon.
Some types of paper available at office supply stores may not be suitable for this machine. If you have
any questions about paper and transparencies, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the
Canon help line.
■ Paper Storage
In order to prevent paper jams, follow this procedure below:
• To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store
paper in a dry location, out of direct sunlight.
• To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.
• If the paper is curled, uncurl it before loading it in the cassette or multi-purpose feeder. Failure to do
so will cause paper creases and a paper jam.
■ Unacceptable Paper
Do not copy on the following types of copy stock. Doing so may result in paper jams.
• Severely curled or wrinkled paper
• Transparencies designed for full-color copiers or printers
• Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-color copier (Do not copy on the reverse
side.)
• Paper which has been printed on using a ther mal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side.)
IMPORTANT
Never attempt to make copies on full-color transparencies. Doing so may result in product malfunction.

CHAPTER
■ Acceptable Paper
Cassette/Multi-Purpose Feeder
Paper Size A4, B5, A5, Executive, Letter, Legal*, Envelope*: COM10, Monarch, DL, ISO-C5
Paper Weight 64 g/m2 to 128 g/m

2-1
NOTE
•
The printing speed may become slower than usual depending on the paper size, the paper type, and the number
of sheets you specify.
This is because the machine's safety funct ion works to prevent the failure due to heat.
•
Some types of paper may not feed properly into the cassette or the multi-purpose feeder.
Printing Areas
Please note that the term "printing area" represents both the recommended area for optimum print
quality and the entire area where the machine can technically print from your computer.
Printing area (light shade): Canon recommends that you print within this area.

This section describes how to load paper in the cassette and the multi-purpose feeder.
CAUTION
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

Do not load paper from the back of the machine with the cassette in place. Doing so may damage the paper
feeding assembly inside the machine.
NOTE
•
The paper in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.
•
The cassette holds up to approximately 250 sheets of 64 g/m2 paper.
