Special media
Several special media have been designed for use with the BJC-50 and
other Canon Bubble Jet printers. When you handle special media other
than plain paper (e.g. Coated Paper), follow these guidelines:
• Store the media in its original package until you are ready to use it.
Exposing media to direct sunlight or air may lower the print quality.
• Avoid high temperature and high humidity. Store media in a
comfortable environment that is not subject to wide changes in
temperature or humidity.
• Before using the media, always read the precautions and additional
instructions printed on the package or in the instructions provided
with the packet. Special media like Fabric Sheet FS-101 and T-Shirt
Transfer TR-201 (TR-101 in the U.S.) require special handling after
printing. Detailed instructions are provided with purchase of these
media.
• When using High Resolution Paper HR-101, do not use the cleaning
sheet supplied with the packet. The cleaning sheet will not feed
smoothly through the BJC-50.
• When printing on Glossy photo Cards FM-101, feed the cards using
the optional Auto Sheet Feeder ASF-50.
Envelopes
You can print addresses on envelopes of two common standard sizes:
• European DL size (220 x 110 mm).
• U.S. Commercial 10 (241 x 105 mm (9.5 x 4.1 inches)).
An envelope can be loaded horizontally or vertically for printing.
Envelopes, like other media, must be loaded one at a time.
If an envelope will not advance, use the top of a biro or pen to sharpen
the crease of the right edge of the envelope.
