Before printing, check whether the paper to use is suitable. Do not use the following types of paper, as they can cause paper jams or printing errors: Wrinkled, creased, curled, torn, or damp paper*1 Thin straw paper, very thin paper, coarse paper, glossy paper Paper with glue or other adhesive sticking out or label paper whose back side can be easily peeled off Paper printed by a thermal transfer printer, back side of paper printed by a thermal transfer printer *1 Printing on damp paper may cause steam to be emitted from the output area or water droplets to adhere to the output part, but this does not indicate a malfunction. This is because the water contained in the paper evaporates due to the heat generated when the toner fixes to the paper. This is more likely to occur when the room temperature is low. |
Precautions Regarding Paper![](./images/global_images/1T0002134966/g_ne_toggle_open.gif)
|
When using paperOnly use paper that has fully acclimatized to the environment in which this machine is installed. Using paper that has been stored under different temperature or humidity may cause paper jams or result in poor print quality. When you cut paper, the cutting sides of the paper must be made smooth using a polishing tool. To smooth the cutting sides of the paper, place it on a level surface, and move the polishing tool perpendicularly against the edges approximately three times. If you do not smooth all four sides of the paper, streaks may appear in images, or paper feeding may be adversely affected. Paper handling and storageUse 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. Keep the paper wrapped in its original package to protect the paper from moisture or dryness. Do not store the paper in such a way that may cause it to curl or fold. Do not store the paper vertically or stack too much paper. Do not store the paper in direct sunlight, or in a place subject to high humidity, dryness, or drastic changes in temperature or humidity. The permissible humidity range for paper storage is 25% to 75% (with a room temperature of 15°C to 27.5°C). Storing paper in a location that does not meet these specifications may affect the paper feed and image quality. |
Guidelines for Using the Preprinted Paper![](./images/global_images/1T0002134966/g_ne_toggle_open.gif)
The use of paper which has already been printed on by another machine (preprinted paper) may lead to a reduction in the life cycle of parts or an increased frequency in cleaning. For information on the guidelines for using the preprinted paper such as the ink used on the preprinted paper, application of the spray powder, and safety, contact the distributor, the place where the preprinted paper was purchased, or your local authorized Canon dealer.
Using Paper Printed by an Offset Printer
Depending on the type, ink used by offset printers may contain substances (such as solvents or wax) which cause it to soften or melt at high temperatures. The machine has a high toner fixing temperature, so using paper that has been printed with these types of ink may cause the ink to stick to the fixing unit, etc., causing output paper to appear dirty or the lifespan of parts to decrease. In order to prevent ink from melting, it is recommended that you use paper printed with heat-resistant oil-based (oxidation-polymerization-type) ink or UV-curable ink.
If the ink melts, the problem may be resolved by lowering the temperature of the fixing unit. However, this may cause a decrease in fixation. For more information, contact your dealer or service representative.
Dry preprinted paper for a sufficient period (72 hours or longer) before use.
Do not print on portions where ink is already present, or portions which are varnished. Doing so may result in a dirty output with the toner not adhering to the inked surface (especially when coated paper is used) or an output with the moiré effect (a shimmering, wavy pattern), depending on the screen frequency and screen angles. If you must print on an inked surface, you may be able to improve the print result by printing on the area where the image density is very light. Also, for the moiré effect, you can improve the print result by adjusting the screen frequency. For more information, contact your dealer or service representative.
Spray powders are particles that are applied to help prevent bleeding when printing using oil based ink. Feeding the paper with spray powders into the machine may cause the spray powders to scatter inside the machine resulting in dirty output or reducing the transfer performance of rollers and belts. Therefore, if you are using oil base inked paper, avoid using paper with heavy amounts of spray powders. If the problem continues to occur, we recommend you remove the spray powders. If the inside of the machine becomes dirty from the spray powders, contact your dealer or service representative.
Using Paper Printed by a Full Color Laser Printer
Do not use the paper that was printed with a full color laser printer. Since the toner adhering temperature for this machine is higher than the general color laser printer, if the toner of the pre-printed media melts, the paper may get jammed in the fixing unit and damage the machine. Also, even under the specified condition, the quality of the output prints may degrade due to reasons such as changes in the glossiness. If you must use a full color laser printed media, narrow the printing range and lighten the image density. However, if you are using a full color laser printed media, make sure you contact your dealer or service representative.
You can use paper printed from a full color laser printer only if the paper is being used as the cover or sheet insertion by feeding it from the "Document Insertion Unit-R." In this case, be careful of the paper curl and paper sticking together.
Other Precautions
By feeding the preprinted paper into the machine, the quality of the paper may change. If the paper is still not fed correctly, perform <Adjust Paper Separation Fan Level>.
Wrap the preprinted paper in its original package, and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Precautions Regarding the Curling of Paper![](./images/global_images/1T0002134966/g_ne_toggle_open.gif)
If paper jams or poor print quality occur, paper curl is often the cause. The paper stiffness, direction of curl, and amount of curl have a strong influence on how well the paper is transported through the machine. If paper is curled, always adjust the curl amount to the appropriate level as described below.
The Relationship Between Paper Grain and Curling Direction
The stiffness of paper varies depending on the direction of the paper grain (the fibers which make up the paper). Paper is more likely to curl parallel to the direction of its grain.
Direction of the paper grain |
Long grain | | Short grain |
| | |
![](./images/book_images/b_in_C0000_a.gif) : High tendency to curl ![](./images/book_images/b_in_C0000_b.gif) : Low tendency to curl |
|
For thin paper of 52 g/m2 to 63 g/m2, it is recommended that you use paper which has paper grain running parallel to the direction in which it is to be fed. |
Correcting Curling
To help prevent problems caused by curling, it is necessary to ensure that curling is corrected and kept within the appropriate allowable range. The amount of curl that may cause problems depends on the paper type and weight.
|
How to Measure Curling As shown in the diagrams below, place paper on a flat surface with the curls face-up and measure the amount of curling on both corners of the leading edge of the paper. If the curl is perpendicular to the feeding direction Curl measurement points | | Side view of paper facing the feeding direction | | | | Feeding direction | | *Measure the curling amount (in mm) |
If the curl is parallel to the feeding direction Curl measurement points | | Front view of paper facing the feeding direction | | | | Feeding direction | | *Measure the curling amount (in mm) |
If the Paper to be Loaded into the "Multi-drawer Paper Deck-E" is Curled If the orientation (front/back) of the paper can be changed, switch the front and back of the paper and load it. If the orientation (front/back) of the paper cannot be changed, manually correct the curl. If you cannot measure the curling amount, load the paper with the curl facing upward. |
Acceptable curl range when the curl is perpendicular to the feeding direction
If you feed paper from the main unit, "POD Deck Lite-C," or "POD Deck Lite XL-A"
Maintaining a curl amount of 5 mm or less for both upward and downward curling is recommended, regardless of basis weight.
If you feed paper from the "Multi-drawer Paper Deck-E"
For heavy paper (164 g/m2 to 350 g/m2), it is recommended that you maintain a curl amount of 5 mm or less for upward curling. Using paper with downward curling is not recommended.
For heavy paper (351 g/m2 to 400 g/m2), it is recommended that you maintain a curl amount of 3 mm or less for upward curling. Using paper with downward curling is not recommended.
For paper from 52 g/m2 to 163 g/m2 in weight, it is recommended that you maintain a curl amount of 5 mm or less for both upward and downward curling.
If you feed paper from the multi-purpose tray
For paper lighter than 105 g/m2, it is recommended that you maintain a curl amount of 10 mm or less for both upward and downward curling.
For paper from 106 g/m2 to 163 g/m2 in weight, it is recommended that you maintain a curl amount of 10 mm or less for upward curling and 5 mm or less for downward curling.
For paper from 164 g/m2 to 350 g/m2 in weight, it is recommended that you maintain a curl amount of 5 mm or less for upward curling. Using paper with downward curling is not recommended.
Acceptable curl range when the curl is parallel to the feeding direction
If you feed paper from the main unit, "POD Deck Lite-C," or "POD Deck Lite XL-A"
Paper that appears curled when viewed from the front of the feeding direction may cause gaps to appear between the side regulation plates inside the Paper Deck, thus causing the paper to be fed diagonally. If must use curled paper, ensure that the curling amount is kept at 5 mm or less.
For heavy paper (164 g/m2 to 350 g/m2), it is not recommended that you use curled sheets. Furthermore, using heavy paper (164 g/m2 to 350 g/m2) may still cause feeding problems, even if the paper is not curled. When using paper smaller than A4 size, it is recommended that you use paper with the paper grain parallel to the longer side. When using paper larger than B4 size, it is recommended that you use paper with the paper grain parallel to the shorter side.

Storing Printed Paper
Store the paper on a flat surface.
Do not store paper together with items made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), such as clear folders. The toner may melt, causing paper to become stuck to PVC-based material.
Store paper so that it does not become folded or wrinkled. Doing so may cause the toner to come off.
If you intend to store paper for long periods (two or more years), preserve them in a binder, etc.
Long-term storage may cause paper to discolor, which in turn may cause print to appear discolored.
Do not store paper in places with 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.
