If the slide guides are not adjusted correctly for the paper size, the quality of
your print images may be adversely affected.
• When making copies on letter size paper after having continuously copied on
paper smaller than letter size paper, the copies may be dirty. To prevent copies
from becoming dirty, wait about one minute before making copies.
• Insert the paper stack into the machine as far as it will go.
• If the paper is curled, uncurl it before placing it in the stack bypass. Failure to do
so may cause paper creases and/or paper jams.

quality copies, be sure to use the paper and transparencies recommended by
Canon.
