9Before Printing

z Media Types You Cannot Use

Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory results, but can also cause the machine to jam or malfunction. Additionally, when printing on A5 or smaller sized paper, do not use paper thinner than a post card, including plain paper or notepad paper cut to a small size.

z Folded, curled, or wrinkled paper

z Damp paper

z Paper that is too thin (weighing less than 17 lb / 64 gsm)

z Paper that is too thick (non-Canon genuine paper weighing more than 28 lb / 105 gsm)

z Picture postcards

z Postcards affixed with photos or stickers

z Paper that is not rectangular

z Paper bound with staples or glue

z Paper with adhesives

z Paper decorated with glitter, etc.

z Photo Paper Pro Guidelines

z Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approximately 30 minutes). Colors in dark

images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approximately 30 minutes.

z Images may become smudged if you place printouts in an album before the ink is completely

dry. We recommend to allow the ink to dry for 24 hours before placing your printouts in an album.

z Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.

z Do not store or display printouts in hot or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or

direct sunlight.

z Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from

direct exposure to air or sunlight.

z Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them.

Note that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to turn yellow.

11Before Printing

z When Printing for the First Time

At purchase, the machine is set to feed from the Auto Sheet Feeder. If you are printing without changing paper source settings, load paper in the Auto Sheet

Feeder.

Note

For details on loading paper, see “Loading Paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder” on page 17.

(A)

(A) Load plain paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.

z To Change the Paper Source

The Auto Sheet Feeder lamp lights up when feeding from the Auto Sheet Feeder, and the Cassette lamp lights up when feeding from the Cassette.

Before you print, make sure that the paper source selection matches the paper source where you actually loaded paper.

To change the paper source, simply press the Paper Feed Switch. For details, see “Changing the Paper Source” on page 15.

Note

You can also select the paper source using the printer driver. For details on paper source selection using the printer driver, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

(A)

(A) Press to change the paper source

12 Before Printing

 Paper Source Selection Scenarios

Deciding on the usage of the two paper sources to print with minimum reloading of paper depends mainly on the variety of the type of paper you use regularly.

z If you print regularly on photo paper as well as on plain paper

If you use photo paper as much as plain paper, you can load photo paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder and plain paper in the Cassette. This way, you can switch the paper source according to the type of paper just by pressing the Paper Feed Switch.

You can also specify the type and size of paper to be fed from the Cassette using the printer driver. You can print more efficiently by specifying the type of paper you use regularly this way, since the paper source will be switched automatically to the Cassette for this paper.

Note

z Some types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and requires the use of the

Auto Sheet Feeder. See “Paper Handling” on page 8. For details on loading paper, see “Loading Paper” on page 16.

z For details on printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

(A)

(B)

(A) Auto Sheet Feeder: Load paper of various types and sizes, including photo paper.

(B) Cassette: Load paper you use most regularly, such as plain paper.

13Before Printing

z If you print mainly on plain paper

You can load plain paper of the same size in both paper sources, and set the printer driver to automatically switch the paper source when either paper source runs out of paper during printing.

Note

z For details on how to load paper, see “Loading Paper” on page 16. z For details on printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

 Changing the Paper Source

Before printing, confirm that the location where you have loaded paper is selected as the paper source. Press the Paper Feed Switch to change the paper source.

Important

When Printing from Your Computer z If Paper Feed Switch is not selected for Paper Source in the printer driver, the Paper Feed

Switch on the machine will be disabled when printing. Confirm the setting in the printer driver.

See “Printing with Windows” on page 27 or “Printing with Macintosh” on page 28.

z If a setting other than Paper Feed Switch is selected for Paper Source in the printer driver, the

printer driver settings takes precedence when printing. For details on paper source selection using the printer driver, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

 Loading Paper

Important

z 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.

z You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers. z Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can

cause the paper to be jammed.

(A) (B)

Note

z For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, refer to

“Printing Media” in the User’s Guide on-screen manual.

z For detailed instructions on how to load specialty media into the machine, refer to “Printing

Media” in the User’s Guide on-screen manual.

When Printing on Plain Paper

z You can use general copy paper or Canon’s Super White Paper. When printing on both sides,

we recommend Canon’s Super White Paper Double-Sided. Paper size: – Standard sizes: A4, B5, A5, Letter, and Legal (Auto Sheet Feeder only) – Non-standard sizes for the Auto Sheet Feeder: 2.13" x 3.39" to 8.5" x 23" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to

215.9 x 584.2 mm

– Non-standard sizes for the Cassette: 3.5" x 5" to 8.5" x 11.69" / 89.0 x 127.0 mm to 215.9 x

297.0 mm Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm (non-Canon genuine plain paper) *However, you can use art paper that is not produced by Canon that is up to 53 lb / 200 gsm

(only in the Auto Sheet Feeder). Do not use paper heavier than this (except for supported Canon genuine paper), as it could jam in the machine.

z You can load up to 150 sheets of plain paper (17 lb / 64 gsm, 0.52 inches / 13 mm in height).

However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half (around

0.2 inches / 5 mm in paper stack height).

z Do not stack more than 50 sheets in the Paper Output Tray.

When Printing on 5" x 7", 4" x 6", or 2.13" x 3.39" (Credit Card-sized) paper

z Load 2.13" x 3.39" (credit card-sized) paper only in the Auto Sheet Feeder. z You can load up to 20 sheets of 4" x 6" or 2.13" x 3.39" (credit card-sized) paper and 10 sheets

of 5" x 7" paper.

z We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs.

Refer to “Printing Media” in the User’s Guide on-screen manual.

16 Before Printing

z Loading Paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder

(A)

(4)

1 Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.

Note

z Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may

cause paper jams.

z 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.” on page 81.

z To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.

– 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.

2 Prepare to load paper.

(1) Open the Sheet Feeder Cover and pull out the

Paper Support.

(2) Open the Paper Output Tray.

Put your finger on the top of the Paper Output Tray and open it gently.

(3) Open the Output Tray Extension.
