Good to Know

  • Some types of paper have a special surface coating for printing photos at optimal quality. These papers have specific preset settings (how ink is used and sprayed, distance from nozzles, etc.), that allow you to print to them with the best possible image quality. Using the wrong paper settings may cause poor print color quality or scratches on the printed surface. If you notice blurring or uneven colors, increase the print quality setting and try printing again.
     
  • We recommend Canon genuine photo paper for printing photos.  For details on Canon genuine paper, see Supported Media Types.  You can also use general copy paper or Canon Red Label Superior WOP111/Canon Océ Office Colour Paper SAT213.  For the paper sizes weights you can use for this printer, see Supported Media Types.
     
  • To prevent incorrect printing, the printer detects whether the information set for the paper loaded on the rear tray matches the paper settings.  When this function is enabled, an error message displays if these settings don't match.   If you see this error, check and correct the paper settings.
