How to Load Photo Paper Into a Canon Pixma Printer

·         How to Load PhotoPaper Into a Canon Pixma Printer

Canon Pixma printers support several types of paper, including photo paper. Photo paper is used for printing digital pictures because the quality of the paper is higher than standard printing paper. Since photo paper has a specific printing side, you must insert it into the printer correctly to ensure a proper printout. Load your photo paper into the Canon Pixma correctly for high-quality prints

Turn on the printer and press the Paper Feed switch until the Auto Sheet Feeder indicator light turns on.

Pull up on the paper sheet feeder on the top and back of the printer and slide out the paper support.

Take a stack of no more than 10 pieces of photo paper and flatten the corners, if they are curled. Curled corners may cause jams within the printer.

Place the paper in the paper sheet feeder with the printable side of the paper facing up. The printable side of photo paper is the shiny or whiter side of the paper.

Print your documents as needed.

Paper Cassette

Switch on the printer and press the Paper Feed switch until the Cassette indicator light turns on.

Pull on the cassette on the bottom of the printer to slide it out of the printer.

Flatten the corners of a stack of no more than 10 sheets of photo paper if the corners are curled. The paper may become jammed in the printer if the corners are curled.

Place the stack of paper in the cassette so the paper is touching the right side and the printing side of the paper is facing down. Adjust the plastic paper guides so they touch the paper. The paper stack guides help facilitate the paper moving into the printer.

Slide the cassette back into the bottom of the printer. The printer is ready for printing.

How to Troubleshoot Scanning on a Canon MX870

The Canon PIXMA MX870 is an all-in-one inkjet printer capable of printing, sending and receiving faxes, and scanning documents. Somewhere along the line during ownership, you may run into problems while scanning. Most of these problems can be solved by either altering scan settings or by proper maintenance of the scanner. By tweaking the appropriate settings, you can get your built-in scanner up and running again
 Check theprinter. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in and that the printer is turned on. Make sure one end of the USB cable is firmly connected to the printer, and the other end is inserted into a working USB port on your computer.

Check the document you are attempting to scan. If you do not have a quality document to begin with, you can't expect much from the final product. Above all, make sure that the document you are attempting to scan isn't too faded. Light markings, such as pencil, can be difficult to scan properly.

Clean the glass of the scanner, along with the plastic plate above the scanner glass. Turn off and unplug your printer before cleaning, and then wipe down the scanner with a slightly damp, lint-free glass cleaning cloth. Make sure that the cleaned areas are completely dry before turning the printer back on.

Increase the resolution on the scanner. You can access the resolution settings in the "Scanning Resolution" dialog box, which can be found under the "Scan Settings" header. If your scanning resolution is low, your image may come out looking blocky and may appear out-of-focus.

Open the ScanGear tool on your computer. Click the "Preferences" button in the top-right corner of the window. Click the "Color Settings" tab. Normally, you should set the color settings to "Recommended." However, if the colors in your document are not scanning properly, try switching to the "Color Matching" setting.

Open the ScanGear tool on your computer. Open the "Advanced Mode" tab. From here, you can make more detailed changes to how your document is scanned. For example, if you are having a problem with dust and scratches appearing in your scanned document, alter the "Reduce Dust and Scratches" setting. Or, if stripes are appearing across your document, turn on Descreening.
