Choosing General-Purpose Paper Settings
Since these settings anticipate a wide variety of paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper,
these settings will make it difficult for bleeding ink and the printhead rubbing to occur. Refer to the following table for
the relationships between the conditions of the paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper and
the media type to select.

Selecting Special Settings
Special settings are provided that allow you to select the amount of ink used in steps. You can fix lackluster colors or
bleeding ink by selecting special settings where the amount of ink used is suitable for the paper you are using.
"Special 1" uses the least amount of ink, with the amount of ink used increasing through 5 steps as the number increa-
ses up to "Special 5" which uses the greatest amount of ink. Although colors become more vivid as the amount of ink
used increases, bleeding also occurs more easily. We recommend that you try in order starting from "Special 1" while
checking the state of the printing.
