Solution
IMPORTANT
- 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.
- 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.
REFERENCE
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[ Printing Media ].
1. Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
REFERENCE
- 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 are not using the printer, remove paper from the Rear Tray, and put unused paper back into the package and keep them on a level surface.
- Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
2. Prepare to load paper.
(1) Open the Rear Tray and pull out the Paper Support to support the paper.Put your finger in the rounded indent of the Paper Support and pull it out until it stops.

(4) Adjust the position of the Paper Thickness Lever. Set it to the right when printing on envelopes or T-shirt transfers, and left when printing on any other type of paper.
3. Load the paper.
CAUTION
Do not load higher than the Load Limit Mark (A).
(1) Load the paper into the Rear Tray with the print side facing UP.

Make sure that the Cover Guide is set upright when you load paper in the Rear Tray.
