Using Canon’s Specialty Papers

This section provides guidelines for printing on Canon’s specialty papers and describes special procedures required for high resolution paper, fabric sheets, and banner paper.

Specialty Paper Guidelines

n Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon specialty paper. These instructions provide important information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality with these papers.

Follow these guidelines:

When feeding transparencies or back print film, remove each sheet after it is delivered, being careful not to touch the document tray or extension. Do not allow film sheets to stack up in the output tray.

(Should you dirty the document tray or extension when removing the sheets, wipe them clean with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.)

Let the printed sheets of film or paper dry completely before storing them.
