Using the MP Tray
The MP (Multi-Purpose) tray can hold standard A or B series paper or inch-size paper, non-
standard size paper, envelopes, label sheets or transparencies, and can hold up to 
approximately 100 sheets of paper (80 g/m
2). For details on the types of paper you can set on 
the MP tray, see “Available Paper Stock,” on p. 2-27. To use the MP tray as one of the input 
trays, you need to set MP TRAY to ‘USE’ in the PAPER SETTINGS menu. (See Chapter 5, 
“Summary of Important Settings.”)
NOTE
 You can use the transparencies, envelopes, and label sheets only with the printer functions.
Loading Paper into the MP Tray
For high-quality printouts, we recommend using Canon standard 60 to 163 g/m2 weight paper 
for the MP tray.
IMPORTANT
 Using print media that does not meet the paper’s requirements may cause severe paper jams, or 
result in the excessive mechanical wear of the machine.
 Do not use the following paper in the MP tray:
- Moist paper
- Paper that is wavy, curled, or damaged
- Folded, clipped, or stapled paper
- Paper with cut-outs or perforations
- Paper containing materials that melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at a 
temperature of 190°C or higher
 Avoid pressing or applying excessive force on the MP tray, as this may cause damage.
 The paper stack must not exceed the paper limit guide.
 Do not load different sizes of paper in the MP tray at the same time.
 Do not add paper to the MP tray if paper is already loaded; incorrect paper feeding, or a paper jam 
may occur. Only add paper when the MP tray is empty.
 You can set the paper of the widths from 76 mm to 216 mm.
 Fan the transparencies before loading in the MP tray. Failure to do so may cause a paper jam.
 When fanning or aligning the transparencies, take particular care to hold by its edges and not to 
touch the print side.
 Keep the transparencies free of dust, oil, or fingerprints. They may cause the deterioration of outputs.
 Remove the transparencies from the output tray as they are printed to avoid a paper jam.

 Remove the label sheets from the output tray as they are printed to prevent them from sticking 
together.
 Do not use the following label sheets in the MP tray:
- Labels that are separating from the backing sheet or partially used label sheets
- Coated labels which can be easily separated from the backing sheet
- Label sheets with sticky paste exposed
 Do not set the paper guides so tight that the paper stack bends.
 Do not set the paper guides so loose that the paper stack is not evenly aligned, or there is room 
between the guides and the paper.
 Make sure that the paper stack is under the load limit guides of the paper guides.

 Do not place the paper into the tray at an angle.
 Do not load fanned out paper. Make sure the edges of the paper stack are evenly aligned when 
loading.
NOTE
 If a printed page comes out of the machine all curled up, you can correct the problem by turning over 
the paper stack in the MP tray so that the bottom sheet in the stack is now at the top.
 If the leading edge of the paper is curled, straighten it out as much as possible before loading it into 
the tray.

NOTE
 The MP tray holds approximately 100 sheets of paper.
4Insert the paper stack as far as it will go into the main unit, with 
the side you want to print on facing up, and the top edge of the 
paper heading into the main unit first.
5Adjust the paper guides to the size of the paper.

IMPORTANT
 Make sure that the leading edge of the paper is inserted all the way into the MP tray until 
it stops so that it is below the paper feed roller. The paper sensor for the MP tray is 
located to the right of the paper feed roller, when viewed from the front of the machine.
 Please note the following points when loading small size paper:
- If the paper is not loaded correctly, the paper is not detected by the machine, and a 
message appears asking you to load paper into the MP tray.
- Make sure that the paper stack is not higher than the load limit guides on the paper 
guides.
- Make sure that the paper guides are set correctly. To print with the MP tray, you also 
need to select the paper size in the MP TRAY menu. (See Chapter 5, “Summary of 
Important Settings.”)
- Make sure that the paper is loaded correctly, and that the leading edge is fully inserted 
into the main unit.

- Make sure that the leading edge of the paper is resting against the paper sensor.
 To avoid damaging the MP tray, close it when it is not in use. Remove and store any 
remaining print media. Fold up the support tray, and gently push in the extension tray 
before closing the MP tray.
●To load envelopes into the MP Tray:
❏Take five envelopes, loosen them as shown, and stack them together.

 If the envelopes become filled with air, flatten them by hand before loading them into the 
MP tray.
