Chapter 4

Using Canon’s Specialty Papers

This section describes how to use the cleaning sheet that comes with
the Canon High Resolution Paper and how to use the Fabric Sheets for
Canon printers.

Canon’s High Resolution Paper HR-101

Canon’s High Resolution Paper HR-101 is designed for high quality
printing. This paper is specially coated to produce delicate color
output. After using a package of High Resolution Paper (200 sheets),
you need to use the cleaning sheet enclosed with the paper to remove
paper dust from the printer’s rollers; this will help prevent paper feed
problems.

Using the Cleaning Sheet

Make sure the paper thickness lever is to the center.

❍

Make sure the paper support and paper output trays are
extended.
