Loading Paper
Loading Paper in the Rear Tray
1 Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
Important
z 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.
z You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
z Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can cause the
paper to be jammed.
Note
z 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 “Using Specialty Media” on
page 4.
When Printing on Plain Paper
z You can use general copy paper or Canon’s Super White Paper. When printing on both sides, we
recommend Canon’s Super White Paper Double-Sided.

Note
z Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may
cause paper jams.

direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See “Paper is curled.” on page 58.
z 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.
