Loading Paper

Important
Load A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper when receiving faxes. Legal-sized paper can only be
loaded in the Rear Tray.
You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can
cause the paper to be jammed.

Note
We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on
the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, see "Using Specialty
Media" on page 20.
When Printing on Plain Paper
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.

100% recycled paper can be used.
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"

Loading Paper in the Rear Tray
1
Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
Note
Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may
cause paper jams.
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 143.
To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.
– When you do not print, remove unused paper from the Rear Tray, put them back into the
package, and keep it on a level surface.
– Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
