Paper Handling

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible printing performance of your MultiPASS is to select the correct paper. Your MultiPASS 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.

Selecting Paper

Plain Paper

The MultiPASS supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation. 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.

Glossy Photo Paper

Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-201 is a high gloss, thicker paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this paper with the BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge to produce photo-realistic prints from your printer. (Select Glossy Paper in the printer driver when you have this paper loaded.)

Banner Paper

This paper is specifically designed for printing one continuous sheet in a banner format. The connected sheets are divided by a perforation. You can print from two to six sheets at one time. Canon’s Banner Paper is specially designed for use with Bubble Jet printers and to produce bright and vivid color images. (In your printer driver, select Plain Paper for Media and Letter Banner for Size when you load this paper.)

Brilliant White Paper

Canon’s unique paper formulation gives you a bright white printing surface that produces incredibly brilliant colors and dark, crisp black text. This paper works great for proposals, color presentations, color charts/graphs, flyers, and newsletters. You can print on both sides of the sheet. (In your printer driver, select Plain Paper for Media when you load this paper.)
