media.
n

(1 below)
■ Plain Paper
Your unit supports A4-, letter-, and legal-size paper in portrait orientation. You can use
regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, or typical letterhead. Your unit does not require
special ink jet paper. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges.
Look at the label on the package to see if the paper has a preferred side for printing.
■ Envelopes
Your unit can print on European DL and U.S. Commercial No. 10 envelopes. You may
be able to load other sizes, but Canon cannot guarantee consistent performance on
these.
Do not use the following types of envelopes since they may cause problems:
• Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, and double flaps.
• Envelopes made with special coated paper or deeply embossed paper.
• Envelopes with peel-off sealing strips.
• Envelopes with letters enclosed.
■ Glossy Photo Paper GP-301
A high gloss, thick paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this
paper with the Photo BJ cartridge to print photo-realistic images.
■ Banner Paper
Specifically designed for printing one continuous sheet in a banner format. The
connected sheets are divided by perforations and you can print from two to six sheets
at a time.
■ High Resolution Paper HR-101/HR-101N
Designed to produce near-photographic quality print output with sharp and vivid
graphics. For best results, use this paper with the Photo BJ cartridge.
