4Paper Handling
This chapter describes how to select and prepare the print media for the different functions your machine can 
perform.
Print Media Requirements
For high-quality printing, we recommend usi ng paper and transparencies recommended by Canon. 
Some types of paper available at office supply stor es may not be suitable for the machine. If you have 
any questions about paper and transparencies, contac t your local authorized Canon dealer or the 
Canon help line.

 Paper StorageIn order to prevent paper jams, do the following:
\200To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store 
paper in a dry location, out of direct sunlight.
\200 To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.
\200 If the paper is curled, uncurl it before loading it in  the cassette or multi-purpose feeder. Failure to do 
so will cause paper creases and a paper jam.

 Unacceptable PaperDo not print on the following types of paper stock. Doing so may result in paper jams.
\200Severely curled or wrinkled paper
\200 Transparencies designed for full-c olor copiers or printers
\200 Paper which has already been copied  using a digital full-color copier (Do not print on the reverse 
side.)
\200 Paper which has been printed on using a thermal tr ansfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side.)
