Solution
IMPORTANT
- Only plain paper can be fed from the Cassette.
- When printing out received faxes, the machine uses A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper loaded in the Cassette.
- 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 "Compatible Media Types"
- 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" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm (credit card-size) for a trial print, it can cause paper jams.
Load photo paper, or any type of paper other than plain 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"
- 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.
