Loading Paper

Loading Paper

Loading PaperLoading Paper

This section describes how to load the paper and select the page sizes and media types from the
operation panel.

 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 genuine paper

•Picture postcards

• Postcards with an affixed photos or stickers

• Any type of paper with holes

 About the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette

You can use both the auto sheet feeder and the cassette to feed paper.
Loading paper in the auto 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 auto 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 auto 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 Feed Switch
button on the printer.

• Choosing the paper source to match the location of the printer
You can use just the auto 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.

Feed Switch

Feed SwitchFeed Switch

You cannot load sticker paper or credit card-sized paper in the cassette.

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

When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect

When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect, even if ink remains in the ink tanks, the print
head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to clean the nozzles.
If the ruled lines are shifted after running the print head maintenance, align the print head.

Before printing the nozzle check pattern or cleaning the print head, check the
following;
Open the cover and make sure that all the ink tanks click into place and then
their lamps light red.

If any one of the lamps is flashing the associated an ink tank is empty or
running low. Replace the ink tank.
See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 48.

If an ink tank lamp is flashing even though ink remains in that ink tank, it is
inserted in the wrong position. Make sure that the correct ink tank color is
inserted in each position.
See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 48.

If the lamp is unlit, press the on the ink tank to fully insert it.
Make sure that all packaging material is peeled off the ink tank.

 Cannot Print Properly from the Digital Camera

The following are the possible errors that may occur when printing directly from a
digital still camera or digital video camcorder*, and the countermeasures to eliminate
them.

*Hereafter, the digital still camera and digital video camcorder are collectively called a

digital camera or camera.

This section describes errors that are indicated on Canon-brand PictBridge­compatible cameras.

The error messages and operations may vary depending on the camera you are
using. If you cannot clear the error on your device, check the error message
displayed on the LCD of the printer, and then clear it. For details, see “An Error
Message is Displayed on the LCD” on page 57.

 When the ink tank lamp is off, possible causes are as follows:

• The ink tank may not be installed properly.
Install the appropriate ink tank.

• The ink tank may not be compatible with this printer.
Install the appropriate ink tank.
See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 48.

 When the ink tank lamp flashes fast (at about one second interval), possible

causes are as follows:

• The ink has run out.
Replace the ink tank, and close the cover.
If printing is in progress and you want to continue printing, select Continue
in the display on your camera with the ink tank installed. Then printing can
continue under the ink out condition. Replace the empty ink tank immediately
after the printing. The printer may be damaged if printing is continued under
the ink out condition.

If multiple ink tank lamps are flashing, check how fast they flash. Fast flashing
(at about one second interval) indicates the ink is empty. Slow flashing (at
about three second interval) indicates ink is low. For details on different
flashing speeds, see “Getting the Ink Level Information” on page 48.

• Some ink tanks are not installed in place, or more than one ink tanks of the
same color are installed.
Confirm that the ink tanks are installed in the appropriate positions.
See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 48.

Replace the ink tank and close the cover.
Printing with an ink tank that was once empty may damage the printer.
If you want to continue printing in this condition, you need to release the function
for detecting the remaining ink level. Press and hold the Stop/Reset
least 5 seconds, and then release it.
* With this operation, releasing the function for detecting the remaining ink level is

 PictBridge-compatible digital cameras can be connected to your printer for

direct printing.

 A communication time out occurs if printing takes a long time or if it takes

too much time to send data. This may stop printing. In such a case,
disconnect the cable between the printer and the camera, and reconnect it.
Then, turn the camera on, if it does not automatically turn on just by
connecting the cable. If the problem is still unresolved, select some other
photo and check if it can be printed or not.

 Depending on the model or brand of your PictBridge Compliant device, you

may have to select a print mode before connecting the device. You may also
have to turn on the device or select Play mode manually after connecting the
device to the printer. Perform necessary operations according to the
instruction manual supplied with your device.

 The print head nozzles may be clogged if printing becomes faint or colors

are incorrect. See “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on
page 52.

user’s manual of the camera. For other troubles on the digital camera,
contact the manufacturer.

 Cannot Print Properly through Wireless Communication

The following are the causes of the trouble may occur when printing through infrared
communication.
For the trouble when printing through Bluetooth communication, refer to the

User’s Guide

.

Bluetooth

Possible Cause Try This

The installation place, distance,
and/or angle is improper

During infrared communication,
infrared rays were interrupted or
another infrared communication
device is operating nearby

The requirements for infrared
communications with the mobile
phone are not satisfied

Check the installation place, distance, or angle.
See “Performing Infrared Communication” on page 42.

If infrared communication between the infrared ports of the printer and the mobile
phone is interrupted by any obstacle for ten and several seconds or longer during
printing, the paper on which data is being printed is ejected and the printer is
reset. Remove the obstacle and retry printing.
If an infrared communication device is operating nearby, interference can occur
and fail in printing the document to the end. While printing a document through
infrared communication, do not operate another infrared communication device,
such as a remote controller of a TV, nearby.

Use the mobile phone or PDA, which has an IrDA port compatible with the image
data transfer using the infrared communication.
