Printing on Paper Other Than Genuine Paper and feed confirmed Paper by Adding a Media Type

"Special 1" and "Special 6" use the least amount of ink, with the amount of ink used increasing through 5 steps as the
number increases up to "Special 5" and "Special 10" which use the greatest amount of ink. Although colors become
more vivid as the amount of ink used increases, bleeding also occurs more easily. We recommend that you try in order
starting from "Special 1" or "Special 6" while checking the state of the printing.

The Add Custom Paper function in the Media Configuration Tool is provided as a method for improving print quality
and feed properties over printing paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper using the general-
purpose settings. This can be expected to improve properties such as print quality because it allows you to configure
settings such as the maximum amount of ink to use and the height of the printhead depending on the characteristics of
the paper you are using. Furthermore, printing can be performed by adding the settings created using this function to
the printer control panel and printer driver as a new media type.
