To open the paper output tray on a Canon printer, you typically pull down or extend the tray located on the front of the printer where printed pages are delivered. This tray catches the paper as it exits the printer.
Understanding Your Printer's Output Area
While the main output tray is usually a simple pull-down or pull-out mechanism, the paper output area on your Canon printer may have additional features or components designed to manage paper flow.
Specific Internal Components
Based on information from guides on Canon printers, there can be small, internal parts within the paper output path. For instance, a video discussing Canon paper output noted a small component inside the output area described as "just a little thing to make the paper roll out. The other way."
Important Note: This same guide emphasizes that if such an internal piece is opened, it is crucial to close it back immediately because the printer "won't print" if it is left open.
Therefore, when dealing with the paper output on your Canon printer:
- Locate the Main Output Tray: This is usually a hinged flap that folds down or a section that slides out from the front. Open this tray to provide a surface for printed paper to land on.
- Be Aware of Internal Parts: Handle the paper output area carefully. If you open any small internal flaps within the output path, ensure they are properly closed before attempting to print. Leaving them open can prevent the printer from functioning correctly.
Always consult your specific Canon printer model's user manual for detailed instructions and diagrams related to its paper handling components, including the output tray and any internal parts.
