How to Load Printing Paper into a Canon Pixma PM970 Series Printer

1. Determine the type of print media that is most appropriate for the document or image you wish to print. Remove the necessary number of sheets from the packaging. Inspect the sheets to insure there are no rips, tears, wrinkles or curled edges.
2. Tap the edge of the stack of sheets against a hard, flat surface to align the edges of the print media. Turn the stack 90 degrees. Tap the edge of the stack on the hard surface again to align the perpendicular edge.
3. Open the sheet feed cover, located on the lower front of the rear paper tray. Place your finger into the rounded indention on the top of the rear paper support. Pull the paper support straight up until it stops at its fully extended position.
4. Place your finger in the center of the paper output tray, located in the lower front of the printer. Open the paper output tray by pulling it toward you and down until it reaches its fully lowered position. Flip the paper output tray extension out.
5. Load the stack of print media into the rear paper tray. Align the print media against the cover guide on the right side of the paper tray. Slide the paper guide to the right until it is snug against the left side of the print media.
