Take note of the following warnings when added custom paper other than Canon genuine paper and feed con-

firmed paper to the printer driver and the printer itself.

About the Cutter

Depending on the paper, there are types that cannot be cut by the cutter unit, and types that speed deteriora-

tion of the blade and cause damage to the cutter. For thick paper, hard paper, etc. do not use the cutter unit,

and instead cut the roll paper using scissors, etc. after printing. In this case, select User Cut as the Automatic

Cutting Settings in the Roll Paper Settings dialog box.

If the cutter is damaged, contact your Canon dealer for assistance.

For details on the methods for cutting roll paper, see "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls."

About the Printhead

If the printhead rubs against the paper during printing, this may cause damage to the printhead. If the print-

head is rubbing against the paper, configure the Vacuum Strength in the Step 5: Configure the amount of

ink used dialog box as follows.

For paper-based media such as Heavyweight Coated Paper: Set to Strong or Strongest

For film-based media such as CAD Tracing Paper: Set to Standard, Strong, or Strongest

For thin paper of thickness 0.1mm or less: Set to Weakest

If the printhead still rubs even after changing the Vacuum Strength, set the Head Height to be higher in the Step 5:

Configure the amount of ink used dialog box.

For details on how to handle the printhead rubbing against the paper, see "Paper rubs against the printhead."

About Borderless Printing

When performing borderless printing on paper where the ink does not dry well, the cutter unit may leave

scratches where it touches the printed surface, or may not cut correctly. In this kind of situation, configure the

amount of time to wait for the ink to dry after printing using Drying Time in the Roll Paper Settings dialog

Alternatively, if the paper cannot be cut well by the cutter, set the Automatic Cutting Settings to User Cut in

the Roll Paper Settings dialog box, and cut the roll paper using scissors, etc.

If creating the calibration target fails, Target not registered is displayed in Color Calibration in the Add and

Edit Custom Paper dialog box. If creating the calibration target fails, it might be able to be created by changing

the environment where the printer is located.
