9Before Printing
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 64 gsm / 17 lb)
zPaper that is too thick (non-Canon genuine paper weighing more than 105 gsm / 28 lb)
zPicture postcards
zPostcards affixed with photos or stickers
zEnvelopes with double flaps
zEnvelopes with sticker flaps
zEnvelopes with an embossed or treated surface
zAny type of paper with holes
zPaper that is not rectangular
zPaper bound with staples or glue
zPaper with adhesives
zPaper decorated with glitter, etc.
zPhoto Paper Pro Guidelines
zDo not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approximately 30 minutes). Colors in dark
images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approximately 30 minutes.
zImages may become smudged if you place printouts in an album before the ink is completely
dry. We recommend to allow the ink to dry for 24 hours before placing your printouts in an
album.
zDo not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.
zDo not store or display printouts in hot or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or
direct sunlight.
zStore printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from
direct exposure to air or sunlight.
zDo not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them.
Note that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to
turn yellow.
10 Before Printing

zWhen Printing for the First Time
At purchase, the machine is set to feed from the Auto Sheet Feeder.
If you are printing without changing paper source settings, load paper in the Auto Sheet
Feeder.
(A) Load plain paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
zTo Change the Paper Source
The Auto Sheet Feeder lamp lights up when feeding from the Auto Sheet Feeder, and the
Cassette lamp lights up when feeding from the Cassette.
Before you print, make sure that the paper source selection matches the paper source where
you actually loaded paper.
To change the paper source, simply press the Paper Feed Switch.
For details, see “Changing the Paper Source” on page 14.
(A) Press to change the paper source
Note
For details on loading paper, see “Loading Paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder” on page 16.

(A)
12 Before Printing
Paper Source Selection Scenarios
Deciding on the usage of the two paper sources to print with minimum reloading of paper
depends mainly on the variety of the type of paper you use regularly.
zIf you print regularly on photo paper as well as on plain paper
If you use photo paper as much as plain paper, you can load photo paper in the Auto Sheet
Feeder and plain paper in the Cassette. This way, you can switch the paper source according
to the type of paper just by pressing the Paper Feed Switch.
You can also specify the type and size of paper to be fed from the Cassette using the printer
driver. You can print more efficiently by specifying the type of paper you use regularly this
way, since the paper source will be switched automatically to the Cassette for this paper.
(A) Auto Sheet Feeder: Load paper of various types and sizes, including photo paper.
(B) Cassette: Load paper you use most regularly, such as plain paper.
Note
zSome types and sizes of paper are not loadable in the Cassette and requires the use of the
Auto Sheet Feeder. See “Paper Handling” on page 7. For details on loading paper, see
“Loading Paper” on page 15.
zFor details on printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

13Before Printing
zIf you print mainly on plain paper
You can load plain paper of the same size in both paper sources, and set the printer driver to
automatically switch the paper source when either paper source runs out of paper during
printing.
(A) Auto Sheet Feeder: Load plain paper
(B) Cassette: Load plain paper

Switch on the machine will be disabled when printing. Confirm the setting in the printer driver.

using the printer driver, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.

48 Routine Maintenance
Replacing Ink Tanks
When ink tanks run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.
1Open the Paper Output Tray.
(1) Put your finger in the rounded indent of the Paper Output Tray and open it gently.
2Make sure that the machine is turned on, and
raise the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) until it
stops.
The Print Head Holder moves to the center.
3Open the Inner Cover.
Important
Handling Ink
zTo maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks.
Refilling ink is not recommended.
zOnce you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks
removed.
zReplace empty tanks with new ones. Inserting partially used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to
clog. Furthermore, with such tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace
the tanks properly.
zOnce an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the
open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it
is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.
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. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it
immediately with a new one.
Caution
Do not hold the LCD or the Operation Panel.
Important
If the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) is left open for
more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to
the right. Close and reopen the Scanning Unit (Printer
Cover) to return the holder to the center.
Caution
zDo not hold the Print Head Holder to stop or move
it.
zDo not touch the metallic parts inside the machine.
49Routine Maintenance

Important
zHandle ink tanks carefully to avoid staining clothing
or the surrounding area.
zDiscard empty ink tanks according to the local laws
and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
Note
zDo not remove more than one ink tank at a time. Be
sure to replace ink tanks one by one when
replacing more than one ink tank.
zFor details on ink lamp flashing speeds, see
“Getting the Ink Level Information” on page 46.
Important
Make sure that all the orange tape has been peeled off
along the perforation. If part of the orange tape is
remaining, ink may leak out when you remove the
protective cap and may not eject properly when
printing.
Important
zBe sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in
the exact order shown in step 5-(1), as failure to
follow this step may cause the ink to leak and stain
your clothes and hands.
zDo not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may
cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes and
hands.
zDo not re-attach the protective cap once you have
removed it. Discard it according to the local laws
and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
zDo not touch the open ink port once the protective
cap is removed, as this may prevent the ink from
being ejected properly.
zBe careful not to stain your clothes and hands with

51Routine Maintenance
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
zIf the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat, ink
may blur depending on the paper.
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 52.
52 Routine Maintenance
When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect
When printing becomes faint or colors are incorrect even if ink remains in the ink tanks, the print
head nozzles are probably clogged. Print the nozzle check pattern to confirm the condition of the
nozzles and then perform Print Head Cleaning.
If the ruled lines are shifted after running print head maintenance, align the Print Head.
zIf the Ruled Lines Are Shifted
Note
Before performing maintenance
zOpen the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) and make sure that all lamps for the ink tanks are lit red.
– If any one of the lamps is flashing slowly, the associated ink tank is running low. You can continue
printing for a while, but we recommend you to have a replacement ink tank available.
– If any one of the lamps is flashing fast, the associated ink tank is empty. Replace the ink tank.
See “Replacing Ink Tanks” on page 48.
If an ink lamp is flashing fast even though ink remains in that ink tank, it is inserted in the wrong
position. Make sure that the ink tank of the correct color is inserted in each position, matching the
label. See “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 46.
– If the ink lamp is not lit, the tank is not set properly. Press the mark on the ink tank until the tank
clicks into place. Make sure that all packaging material is peeled off the ink tank. See “Prepare the
replacement tank.” on page 49.
zIncrease the Print Quality setting in the printer driver settings.

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 corrected to 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.
Printing on thick paper. Selecting the Prevent paper abrasion setting will widen the clearance between

items except for compatible Canon brand peripheral equipment covered by a separate warranty
("Separate Warranty"). Repairs of such Canon brand peripheral equipment shall be governed by the

or maintenance instructions in, or environmental conditions prescribed in, Canon USA's user's
manual or other documentation, or services performed by someone other than a Canon USA

abrasions will be presumed to have resulted from misuse, abuse or failure to operate the
Product as set forth in the user's manual or other documentation for the Product.
(b) Use of parts, media, software or supplies (other than those sold by Canon USA), including non-
Canon ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges, that cause damage to the Product or cause
abnormally frequent service calls or service problems.
(c) If the Product has had its serial number or dating defaced, altered or removed.

zRepair or Exchange Service Options:
In the event service is required for the Product during the limited warranty period, Canon USA
offers two hardware support options:
Authorized Service Facility Carry-In / Mail-In Service
Canon USA's Carry-In/Mail-In Service provides repair or exchange, at Canon USA's option, through
Canon USA's Authorized Service Facility (ASF) network. The name and telephone number of the
ASF(s) near you may be obtained from Canon USA's Web site at www.canontechsupport.com or
by calling the Canon USA Customer Care Center at 1-800-828-4040, or any time while speaking to a
technical support person. A Product covered by this limited warranty will be repaired or exchanged,
as determined by Canon USA, and returned without charge by the ASF.
InstantExchange Service **
A Canon Customer Care Center or ASF technician will attempt to diagnose the nature of the problem
and, if possible, correct it over the telephone. If the problem cannot be corrected over the telephone,
and you elect the InstantExchange option, a reference number will be issued to you. You will be
asked for the Product serial number and other information pertaining to your defective Product and
for a ship-to location for the replacement Product (must include street address).
The Canon USA repair facility will ship out the replacement Product, via 2nd day Air freight service,
prepaid by Canon USA. After receipt of the replacement Product (with instructions and a prepaid
waybill), follow the enclosed instructions on how to ship the defective Product to the Canon USA
repair facility. The defective Product must be returned in the shipping carton in which the
replacement Product was packed and include the reference number, A COPY OF YOUR DATED
PROOF OF PURCHASE (BILL OF SALE), and a complete explanation of the problem. DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY OTHER ITEMS WITH THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN THE RETURN SHIPPING
CARTON, AND BE SURE TO RETAIN YOUR PRINTHEAD AND INK CARTRIDGE(S) AND
TANK(S).
InstantExchange Service expedites, usually by the second business day, the exchange of a
defective Product with a replacement Product, which will normally be shipped the same day if your
request for this service is by 3 p.m. E.T. Monday through Friday, except holidays (three (3) business
day InstantExchange Service for Alaska and Hawaii). Canon USA does not guarantee expedited
shipping service in the event of the occurrence of factors beyond its reasonable control. The
replacement Product you receive may be a refurbished or reconditioned unit and will be covered for
the balance of the period remaining on your original limited warranty. NOTE THAT BY USING THIS
SERVICE YOU WILL KEEP THE REPLACEMENT PRODUCT THAT IS SENT TO YOU. CANON
USA WILL RETAIN THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT YOU ORIGINALLY PURCHASED, WHICH
SHALL BECOME THE PROPERTY OF CANON USA. InstantExchange warranty program service is
available only during the express limited-warranty period for your Product and only in the continental
United States, Alaska and Hawaii during such period.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary
from state to state.
* Support program specifics are subject to change without notice.
** InstantExchange warranty service is subject to the availability of refurbished or new replacement
units.
