Paper Handling
z Recommended Paper and Requirements
*1 Paper with a Model Number is Canon specialty media. 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 paper 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 If the corners or edges of the paper are smudged, try to print with the Paper Thickness Lever
set to the right. It may improve print quality.
Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing.
For details on the Paper Thickness Lever, refer to “Inside” in “Main Components” of the User’s
Guide on-screen manual.
*3 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 and humidity). In
such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half (around 0.2 inches /
5 mm in paper stack height).
*4 If envelopes cannot be fed properly, reduce sheets of envelopes in the Rear Tray.
*5 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may be marked as it is fed in or sheets may be
stuck to one another causing them not to be fed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a
time.
*6 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet or envelope from the Paper
Output Tray before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.
