Basic Printing
The S900 photo printer can print on paper ranging
from standard copier paper (usually 17–28 lb.) to
Canon specialty media paper and envelopes.
The paper thickness lever is located inside the
front cover, on the printhead holder. It controls the
paper feed for the type and weight of the media on
which you are printing.
Use the chart on the previous page to ensure that
the paper thickness lever is set correctly for the
type of Canon media you are using.
To load plain paper or other Canon media:
1. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set
correctly for the media used.
2. Pinch and slide the paper guide completely to
the left.
3. Fan the edges of the sheets to remove static
cling and avoid paper jams, then tap the edges
of the stack against a flat surface so the stack
is aligned.
4. Insert the media into the paper rest, with the
print side facing up.
Some specialty media have specific sides for printing. The print
side is usually the brighter white or glossier side of the page.
When using specialty media, ensure that the brighter/glossier
side faces up and avoid touching the print side.
Always follow the specific media instructions packaged with
your media for complete details and ink drying times.
5. Slide the paper guide right to the edge of the media until firmly in place.
To load envelopes:
1.
Lift the cover and set the paper thickness lever to the envelope mark. Close
the cover.
2. Pinch and slide the paper guide to the left.
