Paper 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 using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon. 
Some types of paper available at office supply stores may not be suitable for the machine. If you have 
any questions about paper and transparencies, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the 
Canon help line.■Paper StorageIn order to prevent paper jams, do the following:•To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store 
paper in a dry location, out of direct sunlight.•To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.•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.•Severely curled or wrinkled paper•Transparencies designed for full-color copiers or printers•Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-color copier (Do not print on the reverse 
side.)•Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side.)
IMPORTANTNever attempt to print on full-color transparencies. Doing so may result in product malfunction.

■Acceptable Paper
IMPORTANTYou cannnot use multi-purpose feeder for FAX.NOTE•The printing speed may become slower than usual depending on the paper size, the paper type, and the number 
of sheets you specify. This is because the machine’s safety function works to prevent the failure due to heat.•Some types of paper may not feed properly into the cassette or the multi-purpose feeder.
Printing Areas
Please note that the term “printing area” represents both the recommended area for optimum print 
quality and the entire area where the machine can technically print from your computer.
Printing area (light shade): Canon recommends that you print within this area.■Paper

performing the following steps. Failure to do so, may cause the machine tip over, and result in 
personal injury.NOTE•The paper in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.•The cassette holds up to approx. 250 sheets (FAX-L380S)/500 sheets (FAX-L390) of 64 g/m
