To load your Canon, based on the provided information which details loading paper, you will follow a specific process for the paper tray. Ensure you are loading the correct type and size of paper for your model.

Loading Paper into the Rear Tray
Properly loading paper is crucial for optimal printing performance and avoiding paper jams. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Printer: Begin by opening the paper support (1). This provides a stable surface for the paper stack. Next, pull out the paper output tray and the output tray extension (2). These components catch the printed paper.
- Adjust the Guide: Slide the paper guide (A) located in the rear tray all the way to the left. This creates space to insert the paper stack.
- Insert the Paper: Load the paper into the rear tray. Ensure the paper is placed against the far right of the rear tray. Crucially, load the paper WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU (3). This orientation is vital for the ink to be applied correctly to the printable surface.
- Align the Guide: Once the paper is loaded, slide the paper guide (A) back towards the paper stack. Adjust the guide so that it aligns perfectly with the edge of the paper (4). Do not push the guide too tightly against the paper, as this can cause feeding issues. There should be no gap between the paper and the guide.
Key Considerations:
- Always fan the paper stack slightly before loading to prevent sheets from sticking together.
- Do not overload the tray beyond its maximum capacity indicator.
- Ensure the paper type and size loaded match the settings selected on your printer and computer.
Following these steps will help ensure smooth paper feeding and high-quality prints from your Canon printer.
