Printing on Banner Paper

Banner paper is a continuous sheet of paper with perforations at equal distances along its
length, where it can be cut to the length required. For best results, use Canon Banner Paper.
You can print banners from two to six sheets in length.
nAlways leave an extra sheet at the end of the banner—just in case the type runs over.
The shaded portion of the illustration below shows the maximum recommended printing area
of banner paper.
n To prevent ink from running over the edges of the sheet, print within the margins shown above.
Printing on banner paper may require considerable amounts of ink, so use a new BJ cartridge or
tanks if necessary.
For best print results on banner paper, use light design patterns.
Follow this procedure to load banner paper in the multi-purpose tray:
1Place the unit near the edge of a table so that
the paper can flow over the edge as it exits
the unit.
Make sure the paper rest is raised.
