 Print Media to Avoid

Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce
unsatisfactory results, but can also cause the printer to jam or malfunction.

• Folded, curled or wrinkled paper

• Damp paper

• Excessively thin paper (less than 64 gsm or 17 lb)

• Excessively thick paper* (more than 105 gsm or 28 lb)

*non-Canon branded paper

•Picture postcards

• Postcards with an affixed photos or stickers

 Using the Sheet Feeder and the Cassette

You can load paper in both the sheet feeder and cassette.

Loading paper in the sheet feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to
and print on various sizes or types of paper.

Loading paper in the cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job.
This is convenient for loading a large volume of the type of paper you regularly print
onto.

Loading paper in both the sheet feeder and cassette makes, the following paper feed
methods available:

• Changing the paper source to feed different types/sizes of paper
If you load plain paper in the cassette and photo paper in the sheet feeder, changing

the paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and
reloading paper. To change the paper source, use the paper feed switch on the printer
or printer driver.

You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the cassette for regular use
with the printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is
always fed from the cassette whenever you print.

Note

• Continuous printing on the same type/size of paper by using both the sheet feeder
and cassette together

If the sheet feeder or cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically
switches to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper. To
use this feature, you need to configure the printer driver beforehand.

Note

• Choosing the paper source to match the location of the printer
You can use just the sheet feeder or cassette according to the location of the printer.

For example, if you intend to install the printer in a small place, such as on a shelf
with minimal space, you can use just the cassette for printing.

Note

For information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the
Paper Source” in the

For information on the printer driver settings, refer to “Changing the
Paper Source” in the

Depending on the size of paper you use or during printer maintenance,
you may have to use the sheet feeder. When using only the cassette,
check that the printer can perform the operations you require.

4 Prepare a replacement tank.

(1) Unpack the new ink tank and pull off the orange tape.

(2) Remove the orange protective cap from the bottom of the ink tank and discard it.

Important

 Be sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in the exact order

shown in step 4-(1), as failure to follow this step may cause the ink to
leak and stain your clothes and hands.

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

and stain your clothes and hands.

 Do not re-attach the protective cap once you have removed it.
 Once the protective cap is removed, do not touch the open ink port.
 Ensure that all the orange tape has been peeled off along the

perforation. If there remains a part of the orange tape, ink may not
be ejected correctly.

5 Install the ink tank.

(1) Insert the ink tank in the print head holder.

(2) Press on the mark until the ink tank snaps firmly into place.

6 Close the inner cover and the cover.

The print head holder moves to the right. The ink tank installation process is now
complete.

Notes

 Ensure that the inner cover is closed. Printing will not occur if the

inner cover is open.

 To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months

of its first use.

 Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer

and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out
and the printer may not operate properly if it is reinstalled.

 Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or

grayscale printing is specified.
Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which
are necessary to maintain the printer’s capabilities.

The limited warranty set forth below is given by Canon U.S.A., Inc. (“Canon USA”) with respect to the new or refurbished
Canon-brand product (“Product”) packaged with this limited warranty, when purchased and used in the United States only.

The Product is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service (a) for a period of one
(1) year from the date of original purchase when delivered to you in new condition in its original container or (b) for 90 days
from the date of original purchase for refurbished Products. Defective parts or a defective Product returned to a Canon USA
repair facility or a Canon USA Authorized Service Facility (“ASF”), and proven to be defective upon inspection, will be repaired,
exchanged for new or comparable rebuilt parts, or exchanged for a refurbished Product, as determined by the Canon USA

proof of purchase is required at the time of warranty service. A copy of your dated bill of sale will satisfy this requirement. This
warranty does not cover any accessories, or any consumables, such as paper or ink cartridges, as to which there shall be no
warranty or replacement.

This limited warranty shall only apply if the Product is used in conjunction with compatible computers, peripheral equipment
and software. Canon USA shall have no responsibility for such items except for compatible Canon brand peripheral equipment
covered by a separate warranty (“Separate Warranty”). Repairs of such Canon brand peripheral equipment shall be governed
by the terms of the Separate Warranty. Non-Canon brand equipment and software that may be distributed with the Product are
sold “as is” and without warranty of any kind by Canon USA, including any implied warranty regarding merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, and all such warranties are disclaimed. The sole warranty, if any, with respect to such non­Canon brand items is given by the manufacturer or producer thereof.

This limited warranty covers all defects encountered in normal use of the Product and does not apply in the following cases:

(a) Loss of or damage to the Product due to abuse, neglect, mishandling, improper packaging by you, alteration, accident,

electrical current fluctuations, improper use, failure to follow operating or maintenance instructions, or environmental
conditions, prescribed in Canon USA’s user’s manual or other documentation, or services performed by someone other
than a Canon USA repair facility or ASF. Without limiting the foregoing, dropping the Product, scratches, and abrasions
will be presumed to have resulted from misuse, abuse or failure to operate the Product as set forth in the user’s manual
or other documentation for the Product.

(b) Use of parts or supplies (other than those sold by Canon USA) that cause damage to the Product or cause abnormally

frequent service calls or service problems.

(c) If the Product has had its serial number or dating defaced, altered or removed.

ANY SYSTEM SOFTWARE (WHETHER FACTORY LOADED ON THE PRODUCT OR CONTAINED ON THE SOFTWARE DISKETTES OR CD­ROM’S ENCLOSED WITH, OR ACCOMPANYING, THE PRODUCT), AND ANY UTILITY SOFTWARE, DISTRIBUTED WITH OR FOR THE
PRODUCT, IS SOLD “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY BY CANON USA. THE SOLE WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SOFTWARE

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK AND LIABILITY FOR LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR
PROPERTY AND TO OTHERS AND THEIR PROPERTY ARISING OUT OF THE POSSESSION, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE
PRODUCT SOLD BY CANON USA NOT CAUSED SOLELY AND DIRECTLY BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF CANON USA, OR ITS ASF. (SOME
