Using the MP Tray
The MP (Multi-Purpose) tray can hold letter, legal, executive, A4, A5, and B5 paper
sizes, and can hold up to approximately 100 sheets of paper (21 lb or 80 g/m
2
). The
MP tray can also hold nonstandard paper sizes, and envelopes. For details on the
types of paper you can set on the MP tray, see “Available Paper Stock,” on p. 2-27.
To use the MP tray as one of the input trays, you need to set MP TRAY to ‘USE’ in
the PAPER SETTINGS menu. (See Chapter 5, “Summary of Important Settings.”)
Loading Paper into the MP Tray
For high-quality printouts, we recommend using Canon standard 16 to 43 lb (60 to
163 g/m
2
) weight paper for the MP tray.
IMPORTANT
• Using print media that does not meet the paper’s requirements may cause severe paper
jams, or result in the excessive mechanical wear of the machine.
• Do not use the following paper in the MP tray:
- Moist paper
- Paper that is wavy, curled, or damaged
- Folded, clipped, or stapled paper
- Paper with cut-outs or perforations
- Paper containing materials that melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous
fumes at a temperature of 374˚F (190˚C) or higher
• Avoid pressing or applying excessive force on the MP tray, as this may cause damage.
• The paper stack must not exceed the paper limit mark.
• Do not load different sizes of paper in the MP tray at the same time.
• Do not add paper to the MP tray if paper is already loaded; incorrect paper feeding, or a
paper jam may occur. Only add paper when the MP tray is empty.
• Do not set the paper guides so tight that the paper stack bends.
• You can set the paper of the widths from 3“ (76 mm) to 8 1/2” (216 mm).
