It is necessary to log in as an administrator to register custom paper types or change the settings of registered custom paper types. Logging into the Machine When you register the custom paper type, you cannot specify the paper source. For more information on registering the paper source, see Specifying Paper Size and Type in the Paper Drawer. You can import/export the registered custom paper type information, and share it with another Canon machine. Importing/Exporting the Settings Individually |
When you register the settings for the custom paper type, make sure to change its name. You cannot change the settings of the default paper types registered in the machine. |
If you enter a value that is different from the actual weight of the set paper, paper jams may occur, and the quality of the image may be adversely affected. |
If you select the paper size which is different from the actual paper size, paper jams may occur, and the quality of the image may be adversely affected. |
When you select to register a custom size envelope, you can specify the flap position. |
If you select a finishing type which is different from that of the loaded paper, paper jams may occur, and the quality of the image may be adversely affected. |

Users other than the administrators should not change the settings. For instructions on changing the settings, contact your dealer or service representative. If the result is unsatisfactory even after pressing <+>, press <->. If the condition is not improved even after you have adjusted the value in both <-> and <+> directions, adjust the Secondary Transfer Voltage value. The condition may be improved by adjusting the value of Secondary Transfer Voltage value in the <-> direction. However, note that changing the value of Secondary Transfer Voltage value abruptly may greatly affect the output result. Make sure to check the output result while adjusting the value. |
Depending on the paper, if the value in this mode is increased, a paper jam may occur. If the value is decreased, the quality of the image could be adversely affected or toner may not be applied properly to the image. Make sure to change the value in small increments as changing the value abruptly may cause some troubles. |
Users other than the administrators should not change the settings. For instructions on changing the settings, contact your dealer or service representative. Adjusting this mode may affect the paper curl status. Readjust the <Curl Correction Level> setting, if necessary. Press <+> to increase the gloss, and press <-> to decrease the gloss. Press <+> to improve the fine black and erase the tiny white grainy dots on the black printed area. Values of the <Gloss> and <Fine Black> are directly related to each other. You cannot adjust the Fine Black setting for the following paper types: Transparency/clear/translucent film Coated Vellum Result of the adjustment may turn out to be the opposite of what you wish because of paper characteristics. Make sure to check the output result while adjusting the value. |
Users other than the administrators should not change the settings. For instructions on changing the settings, contact your dealer or service representative. If both the saddle stitch position and the fold position deviate from the center of the paper, first adjust the fold position to match the saddle stitch position in <Adjust Saddle Stitch Fold Position>, and then adjust the saddle stitch position and fold position in <Change Fold/Stitch Position>. <Adjust Saddle Stitch Fold Position> only adjusts the fold position and <Change Fold/Stitch Position> adjusts both the saddle stitch position and fold position. For information on adjusting the paper fold position, see Adjust Saddle Stitch Fold Position. Follow the guidelines below to perform adjustment. If you want the saddle stitch position of the fold to move right (if you are facing the paper), increase the set value. If you want the saddle stitch position of the fold to move left (if you are facing the paper), decrease the set value. When you want to perform <Adjust by Measuring Output Paper>, see operations after step 2 in Adjusting the Saddle Stitch Fold Position and Staple Position. |

Users other than the administrators should not change the settings. For instructions on changing the settings, contact your dealer or service representative. If the entire image becomes fainter or corrupt, rather than only the lead edge, change <Adjust Secondary Transfer Voltage>. Adjusting <Adjust Lead Edge Secondary Transfer Voltage> may affect the settings of <Correct Tail End Toner Application> and <Adjust Image Position>. Readjust these settings, if necessary. Follow the guidelines below to perform adjustment. <Correction Level>: Increasing this in the positive direction increases the effect for tail end image problems. Increasing the value too high may cause toner to be missing in high density areas. <Correction Amount>: Increasing this in the positive direction increases the distance where control is performed from the tail end of the paper in the lead edge direction when seen from the tail end of the paper. The distance increases in 1 mm increments. If performing adjustment does not improve the problem, adjust <Adjust Secondary Transfer Voltage> or <Adj. Lead Edge Sec. Transfer Volt.>. In this case, decreasing the secondary transfer voltage from the current value can have an effect, but adjustment should be performed gradually as it may affect the image. |
