Sorry I dont have one, it's my girlfriend's and she's about 120 miles away!

You just have to pull a lever and slide it apart to get it to A4 size.

Quick question:
Does this printer come with a USB cable or do you have to buy separately?

Cheers

You need to buy it seperate.

Just put the A4 in the bottom tray! Ace!! Thanks guys. My only gripe with the Canon is the ink on the paper takes a while to dry!!

I can live with that, TBH. My only gripe is the small ink tanks, they seem to have.

Something else I noticed - why two black tanks?

All will be revealed for me on Monday, I suspect.

hey,

I have the IP4000 Printer, Its the same as the IP4200 but they have changed the look a little.

The printer allows you to feed from either paper tray bottom/top (Both are inputs). There is a button on the front which allows you to select a paper tray. I always use the bottom tray for A4, and open up the top tray sometimesfor 4x6.

Its a an amazing printer, esp for the money and its really good on ink too.

Hope this helps buddy

They also changed the ink as well. Until compatables become available for this model it costs a fortune to run. I have had one for 3 months and still no sign of cheap ink.

I buy my ink cartridges from one company online - I think they just need people to actually start posting empties in, for them to recycle.

2 blacks are there for Dedicated text printing and colour too.
