    *1 Paper with a Model Number is Canon genuine paper. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the paper for detailed information on the printable side and notes on handling paper. For information on the page sizes available for each Canon genuine paper, visit our website. You may not be able to purchase some Canon genuine papers depending on the country or region of purchase. Paper is not sold in the US by Model Number. Purchase paper by name.
    *2 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature or humidity). In such cases, reduce the number of paper you load at a time to less than half (100% recycled paper can be used).
    *3 A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper can be loaded only when Rear Tray is selected in Paper Source Setting for Plain Paper.
    *4 Feeding this paper from the Cassette can damage the printer. Always load in the Rear Tray.
    *5 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Tray before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.
    *6 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may become marked as it is fed or paper may not feed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a time.
    *7 You can easily specify print settings for sticker paper with Easy-PhotoPrint EX provided on the Setup CD-ROM. Install it on your computer.

    Notes on Storing Paper
    • Take out only the necessary number of paper from the package, just before printing.
    • To avoid curling, when you do not print, put unused paper back into the package and keep it on a level surface. And also, store it avoiding heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.

    Notes on Paper for Full-page Borderless Printing
    • You cannot use A5, B5, and Legal-sized paper, and envelopes for full-page borderless printing.
    • You can use plain paper for full-page borderless printing. However, this may result in lower print quality. We recommend using plain paper for a trial print.
