CAUTION
|
When handling paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
|
IMPORTANT
|
A screen prompting you to load paper also appears if the paper drawer is not fully inserted into the machine. Make sure that the paper drawer is properly in place.
Do not load the following types of paper into the paper drawers. Doing so may cause a paper jam.
Severely curled or wrinkled paper
Thin straw paper
Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer
The reverse side of paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer
Fan the stack of paper well before loading it. Paper such as thin paper, recycled paper, pre-punched paper, and heavy paper should be fanned particularly well before loading it.
Never place paper or any other items in the empty part of the drawer next to the paper stack. Doing so may cause paper jams.
When you are printing in the Staple mode, do not remove the output sheets that are waiting to be stapled. (Printing and stapling resume after you clear the paper jam.)
|
NOTE
|
Register the size and type of the loaded paper in [Paper Settings] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration).
You can use custom paper sizes. (See "Registering/Editing/Deleting Custom Paper Sizes.")
You can name, register, and edit custom paper types. (See "Registering/Editing Custom Paper Types.")
Paper Drawers 3 and 4 can be used if the optional Cassette Feeding Unit-AL1 is attached.
For information on paper that can be loaded, see "Available Paper Stock."
If a message prompting you to load paper appears while printing, the remaining prints are automatically made after you load the correct paper. If you select a different paper drawer, the remaining prints are made after you press [OK].
Press [Cancel] to cancel printing.

IMPORTANT
|
Slide the guides until they click into place. If the left guide and front guide are not aligned correctly, the paper size will not correctly appear on the touch panel display. It is also necessary to adjust the guides correctly to avoid causing a paper jam, dirty prints, or making the inside of the machine dirty.
|
NOTE
|
For high-quality printouts, use paper recommended by Canon.
Before loading paper, always fan the sheets several times, and align the edges to facilitate feeding.
|
CAUTION
|
When returning the paper drawer to its original position, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.
|
IMPORTANT
|
Paper which is curled must be straightened out before loading it into the paper drawer.
You will not be able to make copies or print if you load paper that exceeds the loading limit mark (), or if the paper drawer is not completely pushed into the machine.
Make sure that the height of the paper stack does not exceed the loading limit mark ().
Always check that the paper drawers are in place.
|
NOTE
|
Each paper drawer holds up to 550 sheets of paper (80 g/m2) or 640 sheets of paper (64 g/m2).
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 paper drawer, the side facing up is the one printed on.
Paper may overlap when it is fed or a paper jam may occur, depending on the cut surface of the paper. Changing the paper orientation and loading it again may reduce the effect of the cut surface.
Rewrap any remaining paper in its original package, and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
If paper runs out and printing is stopped, load a new paper stack. Printing restarts after the new paper stack is loaded.
If you print on the paper which has absorbed moisture, steam may come out from the output area of the machine. This is because the moist on the paper evaporates when the high temperature is applied when a toner is fixed to the paper. It is not a malfunction. (This especially happens in low room temperature.)

The paper size labels included with the machine contain paper sizes not supported by the machine.
