Routine Maintenance CHAPTER This chapter describes how to load paper, clean the machine, and replace consumables such as toner, stamp ink, and staple cartridges. Paper Drawers ............5-2 Loading Paper .
Paper Drawers This section describes how to load paper in the paper drawers. When any of the paper drawers are empty, a message prompting you to load paper may appear on the touch panel display, indicating which paper drawer needs additional paper supply.
Loading Paper Load paper in the paper drawers as described below. IMPORTANT • Do not load nonstandard-sized paper in the paper drawers. • Do not load the following types of paper in the paper drawers, as they may cause paper jams: - Severely curled or wrinkled paper - Lightweight straw paper (less than approximately 64 g/m - Transparencies...
NOTE • 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.
• If problems occur, such as poor print quality or paper jams, try turning the paper stack over and reloading it. • For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it), see “Relationship between Original Orientation and Preprinted Paper Output Chart,”...

Change the paper size plates to indicate the correct paper size on the paper drawer. Paper Drawer’s Capacity: 550 sheets Paper Size Plate Paper Drawer’s Capacity: 250 sheets Paper Size Plate IMPORTANT The paper sizes marked on the plates may include sizes that the machine is unable to use.
• If you want to adjust the width guides to load ISO-C5 or ISO-B5 envelopes, contact your local authorized Canon dealer. NOTE • When printing on envelopes, empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have accumulated in the tray.
• If there is a temperature difference between the location where the envelopes were stored and the location where the envelopes are being printed, leave the envelopes in the printing location at room temperature before you use them. Preparing Envelopes Before loading envelopes in the paper drawer, prepare the envelopes as described below.
NOTE • If the envelopes become filled with air, flatten them by hand before loading them in the paper drawer. • If you feed envelopes that have glue attached to their flaps, the glue may melt due to the heat and pressure of the fixing unit.
Page 134
Load 10 envelopes at a time with the side you want to print on face up. While loading the envelopes, press down on the right side of the receptacle to lock them into place. Make sure that the height of the envelope stack does not fall below the height limit mark ( Claw Make sure that the flaps are positioned as shown below.
Gently push the paper drawer back into the machine until it clicks into place. CAUTION When returning the paper drawer to its original position, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury. IMPORTANT Do not place paper or any other items in the empty part of the paper drawer next to the envelopes.

If these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.
• Do not store toner cartridges in an upright position. Be careful of counterfeit toners Please be aware that there are counterfeit Canon toners in the marketplace. Use of counterfeit toner may result in poor print quality or machine performance. Canon is not responsible for any malfunction, accident or damage caused by the use of counterfeit toner.
Canon has developed and manufactured Toner, Parts, and Supplies specifically for use in this machine. For optimal print quality and for optimal machine performance and productivity, we recommend that you use Genuine Canon Toner, Parts, and Supplies. Contact your Canon Authorized Dealer or Service Provider for Genuine Canon Supplies.
Identifying and Isolating Problems You may experience problems while operating the machine. Take a minute to see if there is a simple solution to your problem before contacting your local authorized Canon dealer. Paper Jam Problems Paper is jammed. Cause Paper or an original is jammed in the machine.
Remedy 3 Check for unsuitable paper conditions. Do not use severely curled or wrinkled paper. (See “Loading Paper,” on p. 5-3.) In a high-humidity environment, Special Mode N may reduce the frequency of paper jams. (See “Preventing Paper Curl or Jams Caused by a High-humidity Environment,” on p. 6-51.) Cause 5 Paper is preprinted.
Page 171
• To solve this problem, always clean the machine from the feeder, followed by the fixing unit, and then the drum. • If the problem persists even after cleaning all of the above parts, contact your local authorized Canon dealer. Print density is irregular. Cause 1 The machine’s transfer output is not appropriate for the paper used.
The backside of the prints is smudged. Cause The transfer roller is dirty. Remedy Clean the transfer roller. (See “Transfer Roller Cleaning,” on p. 5-36.) Toner smudges or bleeds easily on prints. Cause In a high-humidity environment, excessive moisture inside the machine may cause toner to smudge or bleed on prints.
(If the machine is shared with other network users via a print server, the Canon Driver Information Assist Service must be installed in the server computer.) If the machine is used as a local printer (connected to an LPT port, USB port, etc.), manually set the printer configuration.
Self-diagnostic Display The machine displays simple messages and codes that help you understand what is occurring in the machine. Use these messages and codes to identify the actions you need to take to solve problems, when necessary. Error Messages If the machine displays an error message, follow the instructions on the touch panel display.
