z If you cut plain paper to 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4 mm, 5" x 7" / 127.0 x 177.8 mm, or 2.13" x 3.39" / 54.0 x

86.0 mm (credit card-size) for a trial print, it can cause paper jams.

z You cannot print on postcards affixed with photos or stickers.

z Always load paper in portrait orientation (A). Loading paper in landscape orientation (B) can cause the paper to be jammed.

(A) (B)

Note z We recommend using genuine Canon photo media when printing photographs. For details on the specialty media Canon provides for use with its various printers, see “Using Specialty Media” on page 10.

Loading Paper in the Rear Tray

1

Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.

Note z Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.

z If paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. See “Paper is curled.” on page 109.

......Repeats

Ink is low. You can continue printing for a while, but we recommend you to have a new ink tank available.

Flashing quickly (at around 1-second intervals)

......Repeats

The ink tank is inserted in the wrong position or it is empty. Ensure that the ink tank is in the correct position as directed by the label on the Print Head Holder. If the position is correct and its lamp flashes, it is empty. Replace it with a new one.

z Ink lamp is off

The tank is not set properly. Press the mark on the ink tank until the tank clicks into place. If it does not click into place, make sure that all packaging material is peeled off the ink tank. See “Prepare the replacement tank.” on page 83. If the lamps are still off after reinserting the ink tanks, there has been an error and the machine cannot print.

Replacing Ink Tanks

When ink tanks run out of ink, replace them using the following steps.

Important

Handling Ink z To maintain optimal printing quality, we recommend the use of specified Canon brand ink tanks.

Refilling ink is not recommended.

z Once you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks removed.

z Replace 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.

z Once 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.

z Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when blackand-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.

z When receiving faxes, the machine will not store it in its memory even if the ink level becomes low or run out.

Routine Maintenance

Keeping the Best Printing Results

To avoid drying of the Print Head and clogging of the nozzles, note the following.

Note z Ink may blur depending on the paper in the following cases:

– Printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or

– Printed area is stained with water or sweat.

z If the print head nozzles get clogged, printouts will become faint or particular colors will not be printed properly. For details, see “Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 80.

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.

Routine Maintenance

85

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.

Note

Before performing maintenance z Open the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) and make sure that all lamps for the ink tanks are lit red.

If not, see “Getting the Ink Status Information” on page 80 and take the appropriate action.

Troubleshooting

Print Results Not Satisfactory

If the print result is not satisfactory, confirm the paper and print quality settings first.

z

Check 1: Do the page size and media type settings match the size and type of the loaded paper?

When these settings are incorrect, you cannot obtain a proper print result. If you are printing a photograph or an illustration, incorrect paper type setting may reduce the quality of printout color.

Also, if you print with an incorrect paper type setting, the printed surface may be scratched. In borderless printing, uneven coloring may occur depending on the combination of the paper type setting and the loaded paper.

z

Check 2: Did you set the print quality setting appropriately?

Select a print quality option suitable to the paper and image for printing. If you notice blurs or uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.

* When printing from a PictBridge compliant device, set the print quality setting by using the

Operation Panel on the machine. You cannot make this setting from a PictBridge compliant device.

The method to confirm the paper and print quality settings differs depending on what you do with your machine.

To copy or to print from your memory card by operating the machine

To print from a PictBridge compliant device

To print from a computer

Confirm by using the Operation Panel on the machine. Refer to the

User’s Guide on-screen manual.

Confirm by using your PictBridge compliant device or the Operation

Panel on the machine.

See “Printing Photographs Directly from a Compliant Device” on page 36.

Confirm by using the printer driver.

Refer to the PC Printing Guide on-screen manual.

z

Check 3: If the problem is not resolved, there may be other causes.

Print Head is misaligned.

White Streaks

Cause


Action

See “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect” on page 86 and perform any necessary maintenance operation.

Printed Paper Curls or Has Ink Blots

Cause

Paper is too thin.

Action

When printing data with high color saturation such as photographs or images in deep color, we recommend using Photo Paper Pro or other Canon specialty paper. See “Media Types You Cannot Use” on page 12.

Printed Surface Is Scratched/Paper Is Smudged

Cause

Paper feed rollers are dirty.

Action

Clean the paper feed rollers. Cleaning the paper feed roller of the Rear Tray will wear the roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.

For details on cleaning, see “Cleaning the Paper Feed Rollers (Roller Cleaning)” on page 96.

108

Troubleshooting

Cause

Inside of the machine is dirty.

Printing on inappropriate type of paper.

Paper is curled.

Action

When performing duplex printing, if the specified page size does not match the actual size of paper loaded in the paper source, the inside will become stained with ink, causing printed paper to become smudged.

Perform the Bottom Plate Cleaning to clean the inside of the machine.

For details on cleaning, see “Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom Plate

Cleaning)” on page 98.

Note

To prevent the inside of the machine from getting stained, set the paper size correctly.

z Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.

See “Media Types You Cannot Use” on page 12.

z When performing Borderless Printing, print quality may be reduced at the top and bottom edges of the paper. Make sure that the paper you are using is suitable for Borderless Printing.

For details, refer to “Printing Area” in the User’s Guide on-screen manual.

For Plain Paper

Turn the paper over and reload it to print on the other side.

Leaving the paper loaded in the Rear Tray for a long time may cause the paper to curl. If this happens, load the paper with the other side facing up. It may resolve the problem.

We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keep them on a level surface.

For Other Paper

If you are using paper with either any of the corners or the whole printing 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.

(1) (2)

(A)

(3)Check to see that the paper curl is within approximately 0.08 to 0.2 inches / 2 to 5 mm (B) in height.

(A)

(B)

We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one sheet at a time.

Note

Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed properly even if it is not curled.

In such case, follow the procedure described above in “For Other Paper” to curl the paper before printing.

This may improve the print result.

Troubleshooting

109

Cause

Printing on thick paper.

Printing graphics with the intensity setting set too high.

Printing beyond the recommended printing area.

Action

Selecting the Prevent paper abrasion setting will widen the clearance between the Print Head and the loaded paper. If you notice abrasion even with the media type set correctly to match the loaded paper, set the machine to prevent paper abrasion by using the Operation Panel on the machine or the printer driver.

* Deactivate the Prevent paper abrasion setting once printing is complete. If not, this setting remains enabled for all subsequent print jobs. z Setting with the Operation Panel on the machine

Press the Menu button, select Maintenance/settings, Device settings,
