IMPORTANT
If you are printing from an OS that lacks a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper size specified in this setting. If the paper size specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper size and type. (See "Enabling Paper Drawer Auto Selection.") If you are printing from an OS that lacks a printer driver for the machine (MS-DOS, UNIX, etc.), make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type specified in this setting. If the paper type specified in this setting is not available, an error message is displayed when the machine tries to print the job, and the machine stops. In addition, if a paper source has not been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default print settings for the paper size and type.

NOTE
Use the following figures as a guideline to decide whether paper should be specified as Plain Paper or Heavy Paper. Plain Paper: 60 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 Heavy Paper: 91 g/m2 to 220 g/m2 Canon transparency film is recommended for printing on transparencies. Canon label paper is recommended for printing on labels. Only Plain Paper, Color Paper, and Recycled Paper can be printed using two-sided printing.
