3-2 Paper Handling Chapter 3
Selecting Paper Types
One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible
performance of your Bubble Jet printer is to select the correct paper.
Your printer produces letter quality print on most plain bond papers,
including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require
special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different
paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large
quantity.
Plain Paper
The printer supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait
orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and
typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or
damaged edges.
Glossy Photo Paper
Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-201 is a high gloss, thicker paper that
produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this paper with the
BC-21e Color or BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge to produce photo-realistic
prints from your printer. (In your printer driver, select Glossy Paper
when you have Glossy Photo Paper loaded.)
Banner Paper
Canon’s Banner Paper is specifically designed for printing one
continuous sheet in a banner format. The connected sheets are divided
by a perforation. You can print from two to six sheets at one time.
