Recommended Paper Use

There are two steps recommended for getting the best printed output:

Set the paper thickness lever for the media used. (See “Load Limit and Paper Thickness Lever Position” on page 5.)

Select the correct media setting in the printer driver. (See “Chapter 2: Advanced Print Features” on page 9.)

General Printing

For everyday paper printing, use Canon Brilliant White Paper, Canon High Resolution Paper, or plain paper (17 to 28 lb.). Use standard #10 envelopes with your S900 photo printer.

Specialty Media

For optimum results, Canon recommends that you use genuine Canon media with your S900 photo printer. Follow the instructions that come with any specialty media on loading, storing, handling and printing.

The specialty media available for use with the S900 include:

Canon Photo Paper Pro

Canon Photo Paper Pro 4" x 6"

Canon Photo Paper Pro for Borderless Printing 4" x 6"

Canon Glossy Photo Paper

Canon Glossy Photo Cards

Canon High Gloss Photo Film

Canon High Resolution Paper

Canon Transparencies

Canon Banner Paper

Canon T-Shirt Transfers

Handle media carefully by its edges. Dirt or fingerprints on the print surface will adversely affect print quality. For instructions on loading and handling specialty media, see the S900 User’s Guide on the S900 Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM, or see the instructions that come with that media.
