Light-Weight Media - Canon VarioPrint 6000 Series Operation Manual

Light-weight media

Light-weight media
Introduction
Light-weight media is media with a weight less than 50 g/m². You must handle light-weight media
with extra care because light-weight media can be damaged very easily. Even minor irregularities
of the light-weight media will lead to a significant reduced reliability and runability. Discard
damaged sheets.
The stiffness of light-weight media is very low. To load light-weight media you must know the
grain direction.
The allowed light-weight media is given in the acceptable paper list. Contact your local authorized
dealer for the latest version.
To print light-weight media the optional light-weight media module must be installed.
Printing jobs with light-weight media
• When you print a job that contains media with a weight less than 60 g/m², the system informs
you that you must switch to [Low temperature mode], when the system is not in this mode.
• When you print a job that contains media with a weight more than 85 g/m², the system informs
you that you must switch to normal temperature mode, when the system is not in this mode.
• When you print a job that contains media with mixed media weights, the system informs you
that you must switch to the temperature mode indicated in the table below, when the system is
not in this mode.
