Loading Plain Paper / Photo PaperYou can load paper in the cassette 1 or cassette 2.* This section describes how to load paper in the cassette 1. The procedure to loading paper in cassette 2 isalso the same.Important• If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm) or 5" x 7" (13 x 18 cm) to perform trialprint, it can cause paper jams.Note• In the cassette 1, you can load all sizes of paper compatible with this printer (plain paper, photo paper,envelopes, etc.).• In the cassette 2, you can load A4, Letter, and Legal-sized plain paper.• We recommend Canon genuine photo paper for printing photos.For details on the Canon genuine paper, see Media Types You Can Use.• You can use general copy paper.• For the page size and paper weight you can use for this printer, see Media Types You Can Use.• For loading envelopes, see Loading Envelopes.1. Prepare paper.Align the edges of paper. If paper is curled, flatten it.Note• Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges maycause paper jams.• If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until thepaper becomes completely flat.For details on how to flatten curled paper, see "Load the paper after correcting its curl." in Paper IsSmudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched.• When using Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss SG-201, even if the sheet is curled, load one sheet at atime as it is. If you roll up this paper to flatten, this may cause cracks on the surface of the paperand reduce the print quality.2. Pull out the cassette from the printer.128
