Using Canon Specialty Papers

To ensure the best performance of your printer, you’ll want to select the best paper and load it correctly. You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you can manually feed one sheet at a time from the back of the printer.

Selecting Paper Types

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible performance of your Bubble Jet printer is to select the correct paper. Your printer produces letter quality print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.

Plain Paper

You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges. Copier paper has a preferred side for printing. Look at the label on the package to see which side to print on.
