• Rolled or curled paper must be straightened out prior to use so that it can be fed
smoothly through the stack bypass (allowable amount of curling: less than 10 mm for
normal paper and less than 5 mm for heavyweight paper).
• The stack bypass may not accept paper that has absorbed moisture.
• Do not load a mixture of different paper sizes and types.
• Make sure that the paper type setting is correct. An incorrect paper type setting may
adversely affect the image quality, damage the fixing unit, and cause paper jams.
• Feed label sheets one sheet at a time, and remove each sheet as it is delivered to the
output tray. Loading several label sheets together may cause paper jams.
• Loading multiple sheets of heavyweight paper in the stack bypass may result in a
paper jam. In this case, load only one sheet at a time.

• When printing on envelopes, empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have
accumulated in the tray.
• Envelopes may become creased in the printing process.
NOTE
For high-quality printouts, use paper recommended by Canon.

Tray Extension
Slide Guides
Open the stack bypass.
If the paper size/type you are going to load
in the stack bypass differs from the default
paper size/type set for the stack bypass,
disable the default paper size/type
settings. (See "Standard Paper for the
Stack Bypass," on p. 3-17.)
If you are loading large size paper, pull out
the auxiliary tray and extend the tray
extension.
Adjust the slide guides to match
the size of the paper.
