Paper Handling
This chapter describes how to select and prepare the print media for the different functions your machine can perform.
Print Media Requirements
For high-quality printing, we recommend using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon.
Some types of paper available at office supply stores may not be suitable for the machine. If you have
any questions about paper and transparencies, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the
Canon help line.
■ Paper Storage
In order to prevent paper jams, do the following:
•
To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store
paper in a dry location, out of direct sunlight.
•
To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.
•
If the paper is curled, uncurl it before loading it in the cassette or multi-purpose feeder. Failure to do
so will cause paper creases and a paper jam.
■ Unacceptable Paper
Do not print on the following types of paper stock. Doing so may result in paper jams.
•
Severely curled or wrinkled paper
•
Transparencies designed for full-color copiers or printers
•
Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-color copier (Do not print on the reverse
side.)
•
Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side.)
IMPORTANT
Never attempt to print on full-color transparencies. Doing so may result in product malfunction.
