IMPORTANT |
For high-quality copies and printouts, use paper that is recommended for this machine. Using other types of paper may cause problems such as paper jams. If you use the type of paper that is not recommended for this machine, contact your local authorized Canon dealer. You can use various types of paper for this machine, however, you may not be able to get the sufficient image quality and paper feeding depending on the paper characteristics (stiffness, thickness, air permeability, smoothness, moisture absorbency, etc.). For the paper thickness for plain paper, for example, please use paper with thickness of 420 micrometer or less as a reference. |

IMPORTANT |
Use paper soon after it is unpacked as the moisture absorption condition of paper may affect the image quality and paper feeding. Wrap any remaining paper in its original package and store it on a flat surface. When it is necessary to perform post-processing on a translucent film, set [Color] for the paper set in the registered user settings to [Translucent (Finishing OK)]. Note that, depending on the condition of the translucent film, it may be judged as a transparent film, causing a paper jam. (See "Changing the Colour.") |
NOTE |
For instructions on loading paper, see the following sections: "Loading Paper into a Paper Deck (Main Unit, POD Deck-D1 (Optional))" for paper decks "Loading Paper into the Long Sheet Tray-A1 (Optional)" for the Long Sheet Tray-A1 "Loading Paper into the POD Deck Lite-C1 (Optional)" for the POD Deck Lite-C1 "Loading Paper into a Paper Deck (Main Unit, POD Deck-D1 (Optional))" for the POD Deck-D1/Secondary POD Deck-D1 "Loading Paper into the Document Insertion Unit-N1 (Optional)" for the Document Insertion Unit-N1 The Long Sheet Tray-A1, POD Deck Lite-C1, POD Deck-D1/Secondary POD Deck-D1, and Document Insertion Unit-N1 are optional. Chlorine-free paper can be used with this machine. |
Storing Printouts
When handling or storing paper printed by this machine, be careful of the following points.
How to store printouts
Store paper on a flat surface.
Avoid storing printouts in folders made of PVC material, as this may cause the toner to melt and stick to the PVC material. Toner may peel when printouts are folded or creased.
Store printouts in the condition where they are not folded or creased as toner may peel.
Put printouts in a binder when storing for a long period of time (two years or longer).
Printouts may discolor when stored for a long period of time.
Avoid storing printouts in a location subject to high temperatures.
Precautions when sticking printouts with adhesive
Be sure to use insoluble adhesive.
Test the adhesive on an unneeded printout before using.
Before stacking printouts that stuck with adhesive, check that the adhesive completely dried.
