To set the type of the paper to be used for printing, following the steps below.
Note: Confirm that the cable is connected and the printer is powered on before continuing.
From the File menu, select 'Print' to open the Print dialog.
In the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer you are using.
In the third pop-up menu from the top, select 'Quality & Media'.
From the 'Media Type' pop-up menu, select the paper type to be used for printing. After selecting the paper type, click 'Print' to perform printing.
Note: If non-Canon photo paper is being used, try setting the Media Type to the 'Photo Paper Plus Glossy' or 'Other Photo Paper' setting. Many third-party paper manufacturers provide instructions / settings to be used with Canon printers on their Web sites or packaged with the paper. For best results use genuine Canon photo papers.
