Paper Handling
This chapter describes how to load plain paper and special media in the
printer. To get the best performance from your printer, use the media
most appropriate for the task and make sure that you follow these
instructions to load it correctly.

Selecting paper types
One of the most important things you can do to ensure the best possible
performance from your printer is to select the correct print media. Your
printer produces letter-quality print on most plain paper, including
cotton bond and photocopier paper, and does not require special ink jet
paper. However, the print quality varies with different paper types,
especially with colour printing. Plain paper should be fully tested
before large quantities are purchased. Your printer accepts either plain
paper or the special media as described below.
Plain paper
Paper fed to the printer must be free of curls, folds, and damaged edges.
The printer can accept A4, A5, B5, Letter and Legal size sheets in
portrait orientation. Paper thickness should be in the range 64 to 105
gsm. Paper must be fed to the printer one sheet at a time unless you
have installed the optional sheet feeder. Canon produces Bubble Jet
Paper LC-301, a plain paper designed specially for Canon Bubble Jet
printers.
This printer meets the standards for using recycled paper. The BJC-50
produces excellent printouts on recycled paper.
