Paper Source to Load Paper

The machine has two paper sources to feed paper; Cassette and Rear Tray.
You can load paper in either one of the paper sources, depending on the page size and media type of

paper. If you select Automatically Select in Paper Source, paper is fed from the Cassette or Rear Tray

depending on the selection of the page size or media type.

See Media Types You Can Use

Note

For details on Automatically Select, see

For details on other paper feeding, refer to the on-screen manual:

If you select A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper when Automatically Select is selected in Paper

Source, the machine feeds the paper from the Cassette. If you select other sizes or types of paper

such as photo paper, the machine feeds the paper from the Rear Tray.

When printing, select the correct page size and media type. If you select the wrong page size or

Replacing Procedure

When the ink tanks run out of ink, follow the procedure below to replace them.

Important

Handling ink

To maintain optimal print quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks. Refilling

ink is not recommended.

If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks removed.

Use new ink tanks for replacement. Installing used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to clog.

Furthermore, with such ink tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink

tanks properly.

To maintain optimal print quality, install ink tanks in the machine within the date indicated on the

package box. And also use ink tanks within 6 months of first use. (We recommend you to put down

the date when installing them.)

Note

Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-

white printing is specified.

Every ink is also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the Print Head, which

may be necessary to maintain the machine's performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it

immediately with a new one.

Troubleshooting

1.

Make sure that the power is turned on, and open the Paper Output Tray gently.

2.

Lift the Scanning Unit (Cover) until it stops.

The Print Head Holder moves to the replacement position.

Caution

When opening the Scanning Unit (Cover), lift it with the Document Cover closed.

Do not hold the Print Head Holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the Print Head Holder

until it stops completely.

Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the machine.

Important

If the Scanning Unit (Cover) is left open for more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves

to the right. In this case, close and reopen the Scanning Unit (Cover).

Note

The machine may make operating noise when the Print Head Holder moves to the replacement

position.

3.

Replace the ink tank with the lamp flashing fast.

Push the tab (A) and lift the ink tank to remove.
Do not touch the Print Head Lock Lever (B).

Important

Handle the ink tank carefully to avoid staining of clothing or the surrounding area.
Discard the empty ink tank according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of

consumables.

and remove it from the bottom of the ink tank.

Remove the protective cap while holding it to prevent the ink from staining your fingers.

Discard the protective cap once it is removed.

Important

Do not touch the electrical contacts (E) on the ink tank. It can cause the machine to

malfunction or become unable to print.

Important

If you shake the ink tank, the ink may leak out and stain your hands and the surrounding area.

Be careful to handle the ink tank.

Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to leak out.

Be careful not to stain your hands and the surrounding area with ink on the removed

protective cap.

Do not reattach the protective cap once you have removed it. Discard it according to the local

laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.

Do not touch the open ink port once the protective cap is removed, as this may prevent the ink

from being ejected properly.

When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect

If print results are blurred or colors are not printed correctly, the pint head nozzles are probably clogged.
Follow the procedure below to print the nozzle check pattern, check the print head nozzle condition, then

clean the Print Head.

If printed ruled lines are misaligned or print results are otherwise unsatisfactory, aligning the Print Head

may improve print quality.

Caution

Do not rinse or wipe the Print Head and ink tanks. This can cause trouble with the Print Head and ink

tanks.

Before performing maintenance

Open the Scanning Unit (Cover) and make sure that all lamps on the ink tanks are lit red.
