„„ „Proper Handling of Paper
Please use only the paper types specified for use by Canon.
Paper must be printed on the glossy side (the side without any printed markings). 
Always load paper into the cassette with the glossy side up. Loading the paper the wrong way 
may result in poor print quality, and in some cases may cause damage to the printer.
Do not tear or bend the paper’s perforated edges before printing. Tearing the paper’s 
perforated edges will cause the ink sheet to wind up automatically...
