Warnings
Take note of the following warnings when added custom paper other than Canon genuine paper and feed confirmed
paper to the printer driver and the printer itself.
About the Cutter
•
Depending on the paper, there are types that cannot be cut by the cutter unit, and types that speed deterioration
of the blade and cause damage to the cutter. For thick paper, hard paper, etc. do not use the cutter unit, and in-
stead cut the roll paper using scissors, etc. after printing. In this case, select User Cut as the Automatic Cutting
Settings in the Roll Paper Settings dialog box.
Note
•
If the cutter is damaged, contact your Canon dealer for assistance.
•
For details on the methods for cutting roll paper, see "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls."
About the Printhead
•
If the printhead rubs against the paper during printing, this may cause damage to the printhead. If the printhead is
rubbing against the paper, configure the Vacuum Strength in the Step 5: Configure the amount of ink used
dialog box as follows.
