Paper Handling
Print Media Requirements
For high-quality copies, we recommend using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon. Some types of paper available
at office supply stores may not be suitable for this machine. If you have any questions about paper and transparencies, consult
your dealer or Canon Customer Relations.
Paper Storage
In order to prevent paper jams, follow the procedure below for storing paper:
• To prevent moisture built-up, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store paper in a dry location, out
of direct sunlight.
• To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.
• After copying, do not leave paper in the stack bypass.
Unacceptable Paper
Do not copy on the following types of copy stock; doing so will result in paper jams.
• Severely curled or wrinkled paper
• Transparencies for full-colour copiers or printers
• Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-colour copier (Do not copy on the reverse side either.)
• Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side either.)
• Never attempt to make copies on full-colour transparencies. Doing so may result in copier malfunction.
