Paper Type Management Settings

You can register and edit detailed information of frequently used paper types as the [Custom Type].

To register a new paper type, first duplicate the paper type that resembles the new type in order to copy all of the internal operational parameters. This procedure copies the suitable settings to the new paper type from the registered custom paper easily.

You can also improve printing quality and paper feeding trouble by editing the custom paper, depending on the characteristics.


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 All Settings

[Reduce Ghosting]

If ghosting appears on the back side when performing manual two-sided printing, selecting [Reduce Ghosting] may improve the problem.


If this setting is enabled, printing may become faint because insufficient toner is fixed.

[Reduce Toner Flaking]

You can reduce image quality problems that occur due to an inappropriate fixing assembly temperature by adjusting the fixing temperature.


Set this in the following cases. The print results may be improved. [Mode 1]: Set this when the toner of the printed images peels off. [Mode 2]: Set this when the improvements of [Mode 1] are insufficient. This may improve the print results. Set [Off] to not use either setting. Toner peeling may be able to be improved without changing this setting, by changing the paper type and usage environment.

Set this in the following cases. The print results may be improved.

[Mode 1]: Set this when the toner of the printed images peels off.

[Mode 2]: Set this when the improvements of [Mode 1] are insufficient. This may improve the print results.

Set [Off] to not use either setting.

Toner peeling may be able to be improved without changing this setting, by changing the paper type and usage environment.

[Humid Environment Mode]

Print problems may occur due to humidity in the environment of the machine. This setting may improve this problem.


Set this in the following cases. The print results may be improved. [High Humidity]: Set this if the print density is light or irregular when using the machine in a high humidity environment. [Low Humidity 1]: Set this if images and text are blurred when using the machine in a low humidity environment. [Low Humidity 2]: Set this if images show toner scattering or shaded parts of the image have white patches (areas left white) when using the machine in a low humidity environment. Set [Standard] to not use either setting.

Set this in the following cases. The print results may be improved.

[High Humidity]: Set this if the print density is light or irregular when using the machine in a high humidity environment.

[Low Humidity 1]: Set this if images and text are blurred when using the machine in a low humidity environment.

[Use Fixing Prevention Mode]

If the output paper sticks together, this setting may improve the problem.


When selected, the print speed may be slower.

[Adjust Paper Separation in Fixing Area]

If thin paper is used in an environment with high temperature or high humidity, the paper may jam in the fixing assembly. This setting may improve this problem.

[Reduce Image Defects Caused by Paper Dust]

Using paper with a large amount of paper dust may cause images to be printed faintly or with streaks. This setting may improve this problem.


When selected, the print speed may be slower.
