*1 Paper with a Model Number is Canon specialty media. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the paper for detailed information on the printable side and notes on handling paper. For information on the paper sizes available for each Canon genuine paper, visit our Web site. You may not be able to purchase some Canon genuine papers depending on the country or region of purchase. Paper is not sold in the US by Model Number. Purchase paper by name.
*2 If the corners or edges of the paper are smudged, try to print with the Paper Thickness Lever set to the left. It may improve print quality. Reset the Paper Thickness Lever when you finish printing.
*3 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half (around 0.1 inches / 2.5 mm in paper stack height).
*4 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Slot Cover before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.
*5 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may be marked as it is fed in or sheets may be stuck to one another causing them not to be fed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a time.
>*6 This paper cannot be used in Macintosh.
*7 When printing photos to sticker paper from a mobile phone or PDA via infrared communication or Bluetooth communication, be sure to select Sticker Paper in Paper Size on the Canon Setup Utility.
