Handle media
Check and prepare media before loading
Before you load media into the paper trays, it is important to check and prepare the media.
When there are load and storage instructions on the paper package, follow these instructions.
When you print on media that have absorbed moisture, steam may be released from the output
area of the machine. This is due to the evaporation of moisture in the paper caused by the high
temperature in the print module.
CAUTION
• When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
• Do not store media in places exposed to open flames. This can cause the paper to ignite
which could result in burns or a fire.
NOTE
• Use paper recommended by Canon for high-quality output.
• Some commercially available media types are not appropriate for your print system. Contact
your local authorized Canon dealer to order media. (See Consumables on page 185 )
