							Before Printing on Art PaperWhen using art paper, dust is liable to be generated. It is therefore recommended that paper dust beremoved on art paper just before printing.
You will need a soft hair brush (or similar brush used to clean officeautomation equipment).
The wider the brush, the more effective it will be.
OK - soft brush made from material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, horse hair or goat hair.
Important
•
Be sure not to use brushes as shown below. The printing surface may be damaged.
Not OK - brush made from hard material, cloth or washcloth, sticky and abrasive materials.
Paper dust removal procedure:
1.
Check that the brush is not wet and free from dust or dirt.
2.
Brush the overall printing surface carefully in one direction.
Important
•
Be sure to brush all the way across the paper; do not start brushing at the middle or stop
halfway.
•
Be careful not to touch the printing surface as much as possible.
3.
To complete the removal of paper dust, brush the paper in the other direction from top to
bottom.

							Printing AreaTo ensure the best print quality, the machine allows a margin along each edge of media. The actual
printable area will be the area inside these margins.
Recommended printing area 
 : Canon recommends that you print within this area.
Printable area 
 : The area where it is possible to print. However, printing in this area can affect the print
quality or the paper feed precision.
Note
•
With performing Automatic Duplex Printing and Duplex (Two-sided) Copying, the printable area will be 0.08 inch (2 mm) smaller at the top margin.
•
When performing borderless copying or borderless printing from a printed photo, select  Extended copy
amount  in Print settings  of Device settings  to specify the amount of images that extends off the
paper.
Print settings
•
By selecting Borderless Printing option, you can make prints with no margins.
•
When performing Borderless Printing, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the printed image is enlarged to fill the whole page.
•
For Borderless Printing, use the following paper:
•
Photo Paper Pro Platinum 
•
Glossy Photo Paper "Everyday Use" 
•
Photo Paper Glossy 
•
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II 
•
Photo Paper Pro Luster 
•
Photo Paper Plus Semi-gloss 
•
Matte Photo Paper 
Performing Borderless Printing on any other type of paper may substantially reduce printing quality
and/or result in printouts with altered color hues.
Borderless Printing on plain paper may result in printouts with reduced quality. Use them only for test printing. Borderless Printing onto plain paper from the operation panel or from a digital camera is not
supported.
•
Borderless Printing is not available for legal, A5, or B5 sized paper, envelopes, or non-Canon genuine art paper.
•
Depending on the type of paper, Borderless Printing may reduce the print quality at the top and bottomedges of the paper or cause these parts to become smudged.
