IMPORTANT
If you cut plain paper into small size such as 4" x 6" / 10 x 15 cm, 4" x 8" / 101.6 x 203.2 mm, 5" x 7" / 13 x 18 cm, or 2.16" x 3.58" / 55.0 x 91.0 mm (Card size) to perform trial print, it can cause paper jams.

REFERENCE
  • You can load only A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper in the Cassette. Load other sizes or types of paper in the Rear Tray.
  • We recommend Canon genuine photo paper for printing photos.For details on the Canon genuine paper, see [ Media Types You Can Use ].
