To prevent paper jams, do not use any of the following:
- Wrinkled or creased paper
- Curled or rolled paper
- Coated paper
- Torn paper
- Damp paper
- Very thin paper
- Paper which has been printed on using 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
- Shiny paper
-Make sure the paper is free from dust, lint, and oil stains.
-Be sure 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 64.4m²F?75.2m²F (18m²C?24m²C), 40%?60% relative humidity.
-Use only the transparencies designed for laser printers. Canon recommends you to use Canon type transparencies with this machine.
-Each paper drawer holds approximately 250 sheets of paper (22 lb bond (80 g/sq.m.)).
Note the following points when using the stack bypass:
- Paper Quantity: one to approximately 80 sheets (22 lb bond (80 g/sq.m.), stack approximately 3/8" (10 mm) high)
- Paper Size: 3 3/4" x 5 7/8" to 11 3/4" x 17" (95 mm x 148 mm to 297 mm x 432 mm)
- Paper Weight: 18 to 32 lb bond (64 to 128 g/sq.m.)
- Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use, to allow the paper to feed smoothly through the stack bypass (allowable curl amount: less than 3/8" (10 mm) for normal paper, less than 1/4" (5 mm) for heavyweight paper). There are some types of paper stock which may meet the above specifications, but cannot be fed into the stack bypass.
-You can select standard inch paper, or A or B series paper.
