This chapter describes how to use the printer for all your printing operations. It includes:
Selecting paper types
Printer settings for various print media
Loading paper
Printing on envelopes
Using Canon Specialty Papers
To ensure the best performance of your printer, you'll want to select the best paper and
load it correctly. You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you
can manually feed one sheet at a time.
Selecting Paper Types
One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible performance of
your Bubble Jet printer is to select the correct paper. Your printer produces letter quality
print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does
not require special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper
types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.
Plain Paper
The printer supports paper sizes of letter, letter plus, legal, A4, and A4 plus in
portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and
typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged
edges. Copier paper has a preferred side for printing. Look at the label on the
package to see which side to print on first.
High Gloss Photo Film
The Canon High Gloss Photo Film features a bright white finish that lends
striking visual power to charts, graphs, and photographic images. Use this film to
make your presentation materials and graphics look professional. When printing
on this film, use the BC-32 Photo and BC-31 Color BJ Cartridges. In the printer
driver, select the appropriate Print Mode and select High Gloss Photo Film for
the Media Type.
