Basic Printing Loading Media into the S530D
Follow these instructions and tips for loading media into the printer.
To prevent paper jams, always fan the sheets and align the edges before you
load them into the printer. Handle media carefully by its edges. Never touch the print surface (the glossy or brighter white side of the sheets). Dirt or ngerprints on the print surface will adversely affect print quality. To prevent changes in color, never stack printed sheets after they have been printed. Cover printed sheets with one sheet of plain paper to protect the printed surface, even if you intend to store them in clear plastic folders. For more information on loading media, see the S530D Users Guide on the Setup Software & Users Guide CD-ROM.
To load plain paper or other Canon media 1. Make sure the paper
thickness lever is set correctly for the media used.
