Printing on Banner Paper

N

N

You load banner paper through the manual feed slot on the back of the printer. For best results, use Canon Banner Paper.

To set up a print job on banner paper, you must decide on the number of sheets you need. You can print banners from 2 to 6 sheets in length.

Always leave an extra sheet at the end of the banner—just in case the type or graphics runs over to the next page at the end of the banner.

The shaded portions of the drawing below illustrate the maximum recommended printing area of banner paper.

❍Printing on banner paper requires quite a bit of ink. If you think your BJ cartridge may run out of ink, use a new BJ cartridge.

❍For best print results on banner paper, use light design patterns.

❍To prevent ink from running over the edges of the sheet, print within the margins shown in the previous illustration.
