Loading Paper
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 12.

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.
z If paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite
direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See “Paper is curled.” on page 64.
z To avoid curling, handle paper as follows.
– Put unused paper back into the package and keep them on a level surface.
– Take out only the necessary number of sheets from the package, just before printing.
