NOTE
About Chlorine-free paper
Chlorine-free paper can be used with this machine.
To prevent paper jams, do not use the following paper types.
• Wrinkled or creased paper
• Curled or rolled paper
• Torn paper
• Damp paper
• Very thin paper
• Paper printed by a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side.)
The following paper types do not print well:
• Highly textured paper
• Very smooth paper
• Glossy paper
Make sure that the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.
Make sure to test print before purchasing large quantities of copy paper.
Keep the paper wrapped in its original package (unopened or opened) and stored
in a cool, dry place until ready to use. Make sure to keep it on a flat surface.
Store paper stacks in a place where temperatures are somewhere between 64.4
to 75.2°F (18 to 24°C) and humidity is somewhere between 40 % to 60% RH.
CAUTION
If you print on damp paper
The following problems may occur.
• Steam is emitted from the machine’s
output area.
• Water droplets form on the back side of
the operation panel and in the output
area.
Moisture evaporates from damp paper
due to the heat generated inside the fixing
unit (it is most likely to occur at low room
temperatures). This is not a malfunction, but
you can prevent this by using a stack of new
unopened paper.
Should you smell something burning,
immediately turn OFF the machine, unplug
the power plug from the AC power outlet,
and contact your local authorized Canon
dealer or the Canon help line. Continued use
may lead to a fire or electrical shock.
