Proper Handling of Paper
Please use only the paper types specified for use by Canon.
Paper must be printed on the glossy side (the side without any printed markings).
Always load paper into the cassette with the glossy side up. Loading the paper the wrong way
may result in poor print quality, and in some cases may cause damage to the printer.
Do not tear or bend the paper’s perforated edges before printing. Tearing the paper’s
perforated edges will cause the ink sheet to wind up automatically and waste one print’s
worth of ink. If this happens, there will not be enough ink left to print all the paper sheets
included in the kit.
Do not use label sheets on which labels are partially peeled off.
Do not touch the print side of the paper with your fingers. Always hold the paper along
the edges (outside the perforated border).
Be sure that hands are dry before touching the paper, and do not scratch on the paper
surface with a hard object. Keep the paper surface away from dust, water droplets, etc.
Do not write on the paper before printing. Writing on paper before printing on it may result
in malfunction.
Do not touch paper while it is being printed. During printing, the sheet repeatedly moves
back and forth along the top of the paper cassette and in and out through the paper-handling
slot. Please do not touch the sheet during this process.
Do not allow too many prints to accumulate in the print output receptacle. Do not allow
more than 9 sheets to accumulate in the print output receptacle.
You may write on the back of the paper with an oil-based pen, but to avoid smudging
please allow ink time to dry before touching it.
Allow the paper to reach room temperature before installing and using it. Condensation
may form if you suddenly move the paper from a cold location to a warm location. If there is
risk of condensation, leave the paper in its packaging until it reaches room temperature, and
wipe away any moisture before loading it.
Please avoid the following actions as they may result in color change, color fading or
color bleeding.
• Sticking any type of adhesive tape onto the print surface.
• Allowing print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl materials.
• Applying alcohol or other volatile solvents to the print surface.
• Leaving print surfaces tightly pressed against any other surfaces or objects for prolonged
periods.
