This section describes how to load paper into the paper drawers.
The following paper sizes can be loaded into Paper Drawers 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Paper Drawer 1: Custom size (139.7 mm × 182 mm to 304.8 mm × 390 mm), A4, A4R, and A5R
Paper Drawer 2: Custom size (139.7 mm × 182 mm to 304.8 mm × 457.2 mm), 305mm × 457mm, A3, A4, A4R, A5R, and envelopes
Paper Drawer 3, 4: Custom size (139.7 mm × 182 mm to 304.8 mm × 457.2 mm), 305mm × 457mm, A3, A4, A4R, and A5R
Envelopes can be loaded into Paper Drawer 2 only if the Envelope Feeder Attachment-D1 is attached.
Paper Drawers 3 and 4 can only be used if the Cassette Feeding Unit-AD1 is attached.
For more information on available paper stock that can be loaded into the paper drawers, see e-Manual > Basic Operations.
Loading Paper
If the selected paper runs out, or the selected paper drawer runs out of paper during printing, a screen prompting you to load
paper appears on the touch panel display.
Follow the procedure below to load paper into the paper drawers.
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
A screen prompting you to load paper also appears if the selected 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
Heavy 3 paper 210 to 256g/m
2
Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side of this paper either.)
Fan the stack of paper well before loading it. Paper such as thin paper, recycled paper, pre-punched paper, heavy paper, transparencies,
and tab papers 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.
If a message prompting you to load paper appears during printing, the remaining prints are automatically made after you load the correct
paper. If you select another paper drawer, the remaining prints are made after you press [OK].
To cancel printing, press [Stop].
Tab papers can be loaded in Paper Drawer 2 if optional equipment is attached.

1 Press and release the button on the paper drawer in which you want to load paper.
2 Grip the handle, and pull out the paper drawer until it stops.
3 Open a package of paper, and remove the paper stack.
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

Routine Maintenance
Paper Drawers
1-4
Rewrap any remaining paper in its original package, and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
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.)
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.
4 Load the paper stack into the paper drawer.
Even out the edges of the paper stack. Load the paper stack against the right wall of the paper drawer.
Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use.
Make sure that the height of the paper stack does not exceed the loading limit mark ( ) at the back of the paper drawer.

Routine Maintenance
Paper Drawers 1-5
Each paper drawer holds approximately 550 sheets of paper (80 g/m
2
).
If there are instructions on the package of paper 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.
If problems occur, such as poor print quality or paper jams, try turning the paper stack over, and reload it.
For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it), see
Chapter 16, "Appendix," in Getting Started .
5 Gently push the paper drawer back into the machine until it clicks into place in the closed
position.
When returning the paper drawer to its original position, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in
personal injury.
You will not be able to make copies or print if you load paper that exceeds the loading limit, or if the paper drawer is not
completely pushed into the machine. Always check that the paper drawers are in place, and that the paper does not exceed the
loading limit.
If paper runs out during copying or printing, load a new paper stack, and follow the instructions on the touch panel display. The
machine automatically restarts, and produces the remaining copies or prints.

Adjusting a Paper Drawer to Hold a Different Paper Size
If you want to load a different paper size into a paper drawer, follow the procedure described below to adjust the paper
drawer guides.
Only A4 transparencies can be used. Make sure that the left guide is set to ‘A4’ when loading transparencies in a paper drawer. If
transparencies of a different size (other than A4) are loaded in a paper drawer, the paper size and remaining amount of paper will not be
detected correctly.
1 Press and release the button on the paper drawer that you want to adjust. Grip the handle, and
pull out the paper drawer until it stops. Remove all of the remaining paper.
2 Slide the left guide to align it with the mark for the desired paper size.
Left Guide
Slide the guide until it clicks.
When loading 305 mm x 457 mm paper in the paper drawer, slide the left guide to align it with the mark on the front left side of
the paper drawer.

3 Squeeze the lever on the front guide, as shown below. Without releasing the lever, slide the
front guide to align it with the mark for the desired paper size.
Front Guide
Slide the guide until it clicks.
Adjust the guides correctly to avoid causing a paper jam, dirty prints, or making the inside of the machine dirty.
4 Load the appropriate size paper into the paper drawer.
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
5 Change the paper drawer's paper size plate to match the new paper size.
Some paper sizes listed on the paper size plate may not be used depending on the models and settings.
6 Gently push the paper drawer back into the machine until it clicks into place in the closed
position.
When returning the paper drawer to its original position, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in
personal injury.

Paper Deck Unit-B1 (Optional)
1-8
Paper Deck Unit-B1 (Optional)
If you attach the Paper Deck Unit-B1 to the machine, you have one additional source of paper for printing jobs. The Paper
Deck Unit-B1 holds up to 2,700 sheets of paper (80 g/m2).
If the machine is in the Sleep mode (the touch panel is not displayed, and only the main power indicator is lit), you may not be able to
open the paper deck unit. In this case, press the control panel power switch to reactivate the machine, and then press the open button on
the paper deck unit.
The paper size of the Paper Deck Unit-B1 is fixed to A4.
Loading Paper
If you select the paper deck unit when it has no paper, or if the paper deck unit runs out of paper during a print job, a screen
prompting you to load paper appears on the touch panel display.
Follow the procedure below to load paper into the paper deck unit.
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
The paper deck unit can only accommodate paper from 52 to 105g/m
2
in weight. Use the multi-purpose tray to load paper that is heavier.
If a message prompting you to load paper appears during printing, the remaining prints are automatically made after you load the correct
paper. If you select another drawer, the remaining prints are made after you press [OK].
