• Excessively thick paper* (more than 105 gsm or 28 lb)
* non-Canon branded paper
• Picture postcards
• Postcards affixed with photos or stickers
• Envelopes with double flaps
• Envelopes with sticker flaps

• Any type of paper with holes (Loose-leaf paper is an exception; it is printable when
loaded from the Sheet Feeder.)
Before unplugging the power cord, turn off the printer and ensure that
the green lamp has gone out.
