To prevent paper jams, do not use the following types of paper.
- Wrinkled or creased paper
- Curled or rolled paper
- Torn paper
- Damp paper
- Very thin paper
- Paper printed with a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side.)
The following types of paper do not print well:
- Highly textured paper
- Very smooth paper
- Glossy paper
Ensure the paper is free from dust, lint, and oil stains.
Ensure to test paper before purchasing large quantities.
Store all paper wrapped and on a flat surface until ready for use. Keep opened packs in their original packaging in a cool, dry location.
Store paper at 64.4 to 75.2m² (18 to 24m²), 40 % to 60 % RH.
Attention:
If you print on damp paper
The following problems may occur.
- Steam is emitted from the machine output area.
- Water droplets form on the back side of the operation panel and in the output area.
Because moisture in the paper is evaporating due to the heat generated when toner fixes, this is not a malfunction. (This is likely to occur when the room temperature is low.)
If you smell a burnt odor, however, immediately turn OFF the machine, unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet, and then contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line. Continued use can result in a fire or electrical shock.
