For optimum results, Canon recommends that you use genuine Canon media
with your S500 printer. Follow the instructions that come with any specialty
media on storing, handling and printing.
The specialty media available for use with the S500 include:
• Canon High Resolution Paper
• Canon Transparencies
• Canon Banner Paper
• Canon Glossy Photo Paper
• Canon Photo Paper Pro
• Canon Glossy Photo Cards
• Canon High Gloss Photo Film
• Canon T-Shirt Transfers
For instructions on loading and handling specialty media, see the
instructions that come with that media type or see the S500
User’s Guide on the Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM.
Handle media carefully by its edges. Dirt or fingerprints on the
print surface will adversely affect print quality.
