Remark
  • The default paper size is LTR. If you use a different paper size, you must change the paper size settings. (See "Setting Paper Type and Size.")

  • To prevent paper jams, do not use any of the following:
  • Wrinkled or creased paper
  • Curled or rolled paper
  • Coated paper
  • Torn paper
  • Damp paper
  • Very thin paper
  • Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side.)
  • The following types of paper do not print well:
  • Highly textured paper
  • Very smooth paper
  • Shiny paper
  • Make sure the paper is free from dust, lint, and oil stains.
  • Be sure to test paper before purchasing large quantities.
  • Store all paper wrapped and on a flat surface until ready for use. Keep opened packs in their original packaging in a cool, dry location.
  • Store paper at 64.4°F–75.2°F (18°C–24°C), 40%–60% relative humidity.
  • Use only the transparencies designed for laser printers. Canon recommends you to use Canon type transparencies with this machine.
