Loading Paper into the Paper Cassettes
If your machine comes with more than one paper cassettes, you can use this
procedure for each one.
The paper cassette can be adjusted to hold letter, legal, executive, A4, A5, and B5
paper sizes, and can hold up to approximately 250 sheets of paper.
For high-quality printouts, we recommend using Canon standard 16 to 28 lb (60 to
105 g/m
2
) weight paper.
Whenever you change the paper size, you have to adjust the paper size setting for
the paper cassette using the PAPER SETTINGS menu.
(See “Setting the Paper Size for the Paper Cassettes,” on p. 2-13.)
IMPORTANT
• Use of print media not meeting the paper requirements, may cause severe paper jams or
result in the excessive mechanical wear of the machine.
• Do not load the following paper into the paper cassette:
- Moist paper
- Paper that is wavy, curled, or damaged
- Folded, clipped, or stapled paper
- Paper containing materials that melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous
fumes at a temperature of 374˚F (190˚C) or higher
• To avoid paper curling, do not open the paper packages until you are ready to load the
paper into the machine. Store unused paper from opened packages in a cool, dry
location.
• Let the paper run out before you refill the paper cassette. Avoid mixing new paper with
paper remaining in the paper cassette.
• Do not load different paper sizes into the paper cassette at the same time.
• If a printed page comes out of the machine all curled up, you can correct the problem by
turning over the paper stack in the paper cassette so that the bottom sheet in the stack is
now at the top.
• If the leading edge of the paper is curled, straighten it out as much as possible before
loading it into the paper cassette.
• Do not set the paper size guides so tight that the paper stack bends.
• Adjust the paper size guides so that there is no room between the guides and the paper
stack.
