Do not use heavier or lighter paper (except for Canon genuine paper), as it could jam in the machine.

Notes on Storing Paper

Take out only the necessary number of paper from the package, just before printing.
To avoid curling, when you do not print, put unused paper back into the package and keep it on a

level surface. And also, store it avoiding heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Notes on Paper for Full-page Borderless Printing

You cannot use A5, B5, and Legal-sized paper, and envelopes for full-page borderless printing.
You can use plain paper for full-page borderless printing only when printing from a computer.

However, this may result in lower print quality. We recommend using plain paper for a trial print.

When Printing

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

the 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.

Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open.

This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it is

reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.

Note

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

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.

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

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

until it stops completely.

Important

Do not place any object on the Document Cover. It will fall into the Rear Tray when the

Document Cover is opened and cause the machine to malfunction.

If the Document Cover is open, you cannot open the Scanning Unit (Cover). Be sure to lift the

Scanning Unit (Cover) with the Document Cover closed.

Do not hold the LCD or the Operation Panel.

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

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.

Important

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

tanks.

Note

Before performing maintenance

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

If not, see

Increasing the print quality in the printer driver settings may improve the print result.
