Paper Handling

Print Media Requirements

For high-quality copies, we recommend using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon. Some types of paper available at office supply stores may not be suitable for this machine. If you have any questions about paper and transparencies, consult your dealer or Canon Customer Relations.

Paper Storage

In order to prevent paper jams, follow the procedure below:

• To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store paper in a dry location, out of direct sunlight.

• To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.

• After copying, do not leave paper in the Multi-purpose tray.

Unacceptable Paper

Do not copy on the following types of copy stock; doing so will result in paper jams.

• Severely curled or wrinkled paper

• Transparencies for full-color copiers or printers

• Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-color copier (Do not copy on the reverse side either.)

• Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side either.)
