Note the following points when using the multi-purpose tray:
Paper Quantity: One to approximately 100 sheets (80 g/m2, stack approximately 10 mm high)
Paper Size:
Staple Finisher-Q1 PRO/Booklet Finisher-Q1 PRO is attached: 100 mm x 182 mm to 330.2 mm x 487.7 mm (The paper whose parallel length to the feeding direction is less than 182 mm cannot be fed into the multi-purpose tray. Furthermore, the paper whose width is less than 182 mm, such as A6 size, cannot be output from the Tray B.) Staple Finisher-N1/Booklet Finisher-N1 is attached: 100 mm x 148 mm to 330.2 mm x 487.7 mm Paper Weight: 52 to 256 g/m2
Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use, to allow the paper to feed smoothly through the multi-purpose tray (allowable curl amount: less than 10 mm for normal paper, less than 5 mm for heavy paper.) There are some types of paper stock, which may meet the above specifications, but cannot be fed into the multi-purpose tray.
Make sure that you fan the sheets of paper well before placing them. Thin paper, recycled paper, pre-punched paper, heavy paper, labels, and transparencies should be fanned particularly well before loading it.
Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service repair, or the paper could jam.

NOTE
|
|
For high-quality printouts, use paper recommended by Canon.
|
1.
Open the multi-purpose tray.
|
NOTE
|
|
If the paper is loaded in the multi-purpose tray, a job may be reserved to use the multi-purpose tray.
|
If there is no reserved job, remove any paper remaining in the multi-purpose tray → continue the procedure from step 2.
If there is a current or reserved job, you can reserve a copy/print job by changing paper for the multi-purpose tray in [Change MP Tray Paper]. For more information, see the following:
Reserving a Print Job Using the Multi-Purpose Tray for Access Stored Files
2.
Adjust the slide guides to match the size of the paper.
If you are feeding large size paper, pull out the auxiliary tray.
3.
Load the paper into the multi-purpose tray.
Make sure that the height of the paper stack does not exceed the loading limit mark (
).

IMPORTANT
|
|
When loading paper into the multi-purpose tray, align the paper stack neatly between the slide guides. If the paper is not loaded correctly, a paper jam may occur.
When loading paper into the multi-purpose tray, align the paper stack evenly between the slide guides. The paper may not be fed if the slide guides are set to a position narrower than the paper, causing the paper to curl.
|
|
NOTE
|
|
If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions.
When the paper is loaded into the multi-purpose tray, the side facing up is the one printed on.
If problems, such as poor print quality or paper jams occur, try turning the paper stack over and reload it.
For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it), see "Relationship Between the Original Orientation and Paper Orientation."
If the paper is curled when using the multi-purpose tray, a paper jam may occur. Therefore, fix the curling as indicated in the diagram before loading the paper into the multi-purpose tray.
 To copy or print on the backside of preprinted paper, fix the curling, and then load the preprinted paper face up into the multi-purpose tray. To copy or print on the backside of preprinted paper with the same orientation of the preprinted side, set the paper as shown in the illustration below.
 *1 Feeding Direction
*2 Output Direction

IMPORTANT
|
|
Feed tracing paper one sheet at a time, and remove each sheet as it is delivered to the output tray. Loading several sheets together may cause paper jams.
Depending on the type of heavy paper you want to load, if you load multiple sheets of heavy paper into the multi-purpose tray, a paper jam may occur. In this case, load only one sheet of heavy paper at a time.
If you are making two-sided prints, select the 2-Sided mode. The printed-paper may crease depending on the moisture absorption condition of the paper.
To print on the backside of preprinted paper, load the paper into the multi-purpose tray, and press [2nd Side of 2-Sided Page] on the paper selection screen that appears.
