Notes on the operating environment

In low humidity environments (below 40%), your printer may develop the following problems.

Paper becomes curled or wrinkled.

Paper and the printhead are more likely to touch each other, resulting in a scratched print surface or damaged
printhead.

The cut printed matter sticks to the printer and will not fall down (film media).

Paper sticks to the printer, making its transfer impossible and preventing its normal ejection (film media).

Uneven printing (film media)

In high humidity environments (over 60%), your printer may develop the following problems.

Printed matter will not dry.

Wavy paper surface

Cut edges are ragged (fabric media).

Margins remain due to borderless printing.

Important

Canon offers absolutely no guarantees regarding the print quality or paper feed properties of customer paper (pa-
per that is not Canon genuine paper or Canon feed confirmed paper).

In order to add new custom paper to the printer control panel and printer driver, first select the media type to use as
the basis from among the Canon genuine paper and feed confirmed paper. Add this as custom paper after making
various changes to the standard paper as necessary.

Important

Canon offers absolutely no guarantees regarding the print quality or paper feed properties of customer paper.

For Canon genuine paper and Canon feed confirmed paper, print using the media type as recommended in the
Paper Reference Guide. The print quality and feed properties are not guaranteed if you use Add Custom Paper in
