*3 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the maximum capacity depending on the type
of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In
such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half (around 0.2 inches /
5 mm in paper stack height).
*4 Available only when printing from your computer.
*5 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may be marked as it is fed in or sheets may be
stuck to one another causing them not to be fed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a
time.
*6 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Tray
before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.
*7 This paper cannot be used in Macintosh®.
*8 When copying onto sticker paper, be sure to select STICKER COPY in SPECIAL COPY.
Refer to “Copying on Stickers (STICKER COPY)” in “Using Useful Copy Functions” of the
User’s Guide on-screen manual.
zMedia Types You Cannot Use
Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory
results, but can also cause the machine to jam or malfunction. Additionally, when printing on A5
or smaller sized paper, do not use paper thinner than a post card, including plain paper or
notepad paper cut to a small size.
zFolded, curled, or wrinkled paper
zDamp paper
zPaper that is too thin (weighing less than 17 lb / 64 gsm)
zPaper that is too thick (plain paper, except for Canon genuine paper, weighing more than 28
lb / 105 gsm)
zPicture postcards
zPostcards affixed with photos or stickers
zAny type of paper with holes
zPaper that is not rectangular

Note
For a detailed description of printing media types, refer to “Printing Media” in the User’s Guide on-
screen manual.
14 Before Using the Machine
Loading Paper
1Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
Important
zLoad A4, Letter, or Legal-sized plain paper when receiving faxes.
zIf 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.
zYou cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.
zAlways load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can
cause the paper to be jammed.
Note
zWe 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 11.
When Printing on Plain Paper
zYou can use general copy paper or Canon’s Super White Paper. When printing on both sides,
we recommend Canon’s Super White Paper Double-Sided.
Paper size:
– Standard sizes: A4, B5, A5, Letter, and Legal
– Non-standard sizes: 2.13 x 3.39 inches to 8.5 x 23 inches / 54.0 x 86.0 mm to 215.9 x 584.2
mm
Paper weight: 17 to 28 lb / 64 to 105 gsm (non-Canon genuine plain paper)
Note
zAlign the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may
cause paper jams.
zIf paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite

The FINE Cartridge Holder moves to the left.
Important
Handling FINE Cartridges
zDo not touch the electrical contacts or Print Head Nozzles on a FINE Cartridge. The machine
may not print out properly if you touch it.
(A) Electrical Contacts
(B) Print Head Nozzles
zTo maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand FINE
Cartridges.
Refilling ink is not recommended.
zOnce you remove a FINE Cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with FINE
Cartridges removed.
zReplace empty cartridges with new ones. If you insert FINE Cartridges that has been removed
once, the machine may not print out properly due to some reasons such as clogging of the
nozzles.
Furthermore, with such cartridges, the Low Ink Warning may not be displayed properly.
zOnce a FINE Cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in
the open. This will cause the FINE Cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate
properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE Cartridge within
six months of first use.
Note
zIf a FINE Cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either Color or Black FINE Cartridge, in
whichever ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality may be reduced compared to
when printing with both cartridges. Canon recommends to use new FINE cartridges in order to
obtain optimum qualities.
Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE Cartridge installed. If
either of the Color FINE Cartridge or Black FINE Cartridge is not installed, an error occurs and
the machine cannot print.
For information on how to configure this setting, refer to the PC Printing Guide on-screen
manual.
zColor ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and
white printing is specified.
Color ink is also consumed in Print Head Cleaning and Print Head Deep Cleaning, which may
be necessary to maintain the machine’s performance.

Keeping the Best Printing Results
To avoid drying of the Print Head and clogging of the nozzles, note the following.
When You Turn Off the Machine
Follow the procedure below to turn off the machine.
(1) Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.
(2) Confirm that the Power lamp has gone out.
This takes a few seconds or as long as around 30 seconds.
(3) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
If you are using a power outlet strip, you can switch it off instead.
When you press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine, the machine automatically puts a
protective cap on the Print Head to prevent the ink from drying. If you remove the power cord or
switch off the power outlet strip before the Power lamp goes out, this capping will not be done
properly, causing the Print Head to dry and clog.
When You Are Not Using the Machine for a Long Time
When you are not using the machine for a long time, print or copy in both black & white and in
color, or perform Print Head Cleaning, about once a month to prevent degradation of the Print
Head.
Numerous nozzles are installed in the Print Head for high-precision printing. Just as the
uncapped tip of a ballpoint pen or marker becomes dry and unusable if it is not used for a long
period of time, the print head nozzles become blocked by dried ink. Periodically printing or
cleaning the Print Head can prevent this blockage.
Note
zInk may blur depending on the paper in the following cases:
– Printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or
– Printed area is stained with water or sweat.
zIf the print head nozzles get clogged, printouts will become faint or particular colors will not be printed
properly. For details, see “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on page 59.

Cleaning, for example.
This error message indicates that the ink absorber is nearly full.
Press the OK button to cancel the error so you can continue printing.
However, because printing is disabled once the ink absorber becomes
completely full and until the ink absorber is replaced, you are recommended to
contact your Canon service representative as early as possible. (You will need
to replace a particular part of the machine.)
INCOMPATIBLE CAMERA A communication time out occurs if an operation takes too long or if it takes too
much time to send data. This may cancel printing. In such cases, disconnect
and reconnect the USB cable.
When printing from a PictBridge compliant device, depending on the model or
brand of your device, you may have to select a PictBridge compliant print mode
on the device before connecting it to the machine. You may also have to turn on
your device or select Play mode manually after connecting the device to the
machine. Perform necessary operations before connecting your device referring
to its instruction manual.
If the error is still not resolved, check if you can print another photograph.
UNSUPPORTED USB HUB If a PictBridge compliant device is connected via a USB hub, remove the hub
and connect it directly to the machine.

Print Results Not Satisfactory
If the print result is not satisfactory, confirm the paper and print quality settings first.
zDo the page size and media type settings match the size and type of the
loaded paper?
When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result. If you are printing a
photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type setting may reduce the quality of printout color.
Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched. In
borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type
setting and the loaded paper.
zDid you set the print quality setting appropriately?
Select a print quality option suitable to the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or
uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.
* When printing from a PictBridge compliant device, set the print quality setting by using the
Operation Panel on the machine. You cannot make this setting from a PictBridge compliant
device.
The method to confirm the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you do with
your machine.
If the problem is not resolved even if the paper and print quality settings are correct, there may be
other causes. See also the sections below.
Colors Are Unclear
To copy by operating the

paper. See “Media Types You Cannot Use” on page 13.
Cause Action
Paper feed roller is dirty. Clean the paper feed roller. Cleaning the paper feed roller will wear the roller, so
perform this procedure only when necessary.
For details on cleaning, see “Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller (Roller Cleaning)”
on page 74.
Inside of the machine is dirty. When performing duplex printing, if the specified page size does not match the
actual size of paper loaded in the paper source, the inside will become stained
with ink, causing printed paper to become smudged.
Perform the Bottom Plate Cleaning to clean the inside of the machine.
For details on cleaning, see “Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom Plate
Cleaning)” on page 75.
Note
To prevent the inside of the machine from getting stained, set the page size
correctly.
Printing on inappropriate type of paper. zCheck to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.
See “Media Types You Cannot Use” on page 13.
zWhen performing Borderless Printing, print quality may be reduced at the top
and bottom edges of the paper. Make sure that the paper you are using is
suitable for Borderless Printing.
For details, refer to “Printing Area” in the User’s Guide on-screen manual.
87Troubleshooting
Paper is curled. For Plain Paper
Turn the paper over and reload it to print on the other side.
Leaving the paper loaded in the Rear Tray for a long time may cause the paper
to curl. If this happens, load the paper with the other side facing up. It may
resolve the problem.
We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keep them on
a level surface.
For Other Paper
If you are using paper with either any of the corners or the whole printing
surface curled, the paper may become dirty, not feed properly, or both. Use such
paper after correcting paper curl as follows.
(1)With the printing side (A) facing up, cover the paper with a fresh sheet of
plain paper to avoid staining or scratching the surface.
(2)Roll up the paper in a direction opposite to paper curl as seen below.
(3)Check to see that the paper curl is within approximately 0.08 to 0.2 inches / 2
to 5 mm (B) in height.
We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one sheet at a time.
Note
Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed
properly even if it is not curled.
In such case, follow the procedure described above in “For Other Paper” to curl
the paper before printing.
This may improve the print result.
Inappropriate Paper Thickness Lever
setting.
Adjust the position of the Paper Thickness Lever according to the type of paper
you are printing on.
See “Paper Handling” on page 12.
Depending on the printing content, the printing surface may become scratched
even for the types of paper to set the lever to the left. In this case, set the Paper
Thickness Lever to the right.
* Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing. If the
lever is not set back to the left, the inside of the machine is more likely to get
dirty due to the wider clearance between the print head and the loaded paper.
It may also reduce print quality.
Note
If the corners or edges of the paper are smudged, try to print with the Paper
Thickness Lever set to the right.
Printing graphics with the intensity
setting set too high.
Especially if you are using plain paper to print images with high intensity, the
paper may absorb too much ink and become wavy, causing paper abrasion.
When copying, see “Changing the Copy Settings” on page 19 and reduce the
INTENSITY setting. Then try printing again.
When printing from your computer, refer to “Print Results Not Satisfactory” in the
User’s Guide on-screen manual.

required.
Universal Service Order Code (USOC): RJ11C
The Facility Interface Code (FIC): 02LS2
Service Order Code (SOC): 9.0F
Connection of the Equipment
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier
in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone
company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the

comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
In Case of Equipment Malfunction
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this guide,
disconnect the equipment from the telephone line cable, turn off the power and disconnect the power
cord. The telephone line cable should not be reconnected or the main power switch turned ON until
the problem is completely resolved. Users should contact their local authorized Canon Facsimile
Service Dealer for the servicing of equipment.
Information regarding Authorized Service Facility locations can be obtained by calling the Canon
Customer Center.
Rights of the Telephone Company
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily
disconnect service. The telephone company also retains the right to make changes in facilities and
services that may affect the operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, the
telephone company is required to give adequate prior notice to the user. However, if advance notice
is not possible, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, the
