The Features of Media Configuration Tool

The Media Configuration Tool offers the following features.
• Enables information about additional media (types of paper) supported by the printer to be added to the printer control
panel and to the printer driver, through the use of relevant media information files.
• You can rearrange lists of the types of paper on the printer control panel and in printer driver dialog boxes and rename
them, in addition to other functions.
• You can add custom paper (paper that is not Canon genuine paper or Canon feed confirmed paper) to the printer con-
trol panel and printer driver.
Important
• Normally, the Media Configuration Tool is installed and the media information is configured when you in-
stall the printer driver from the User Software CD-ROM. Use this software if you want to add new media
information or edit existing media information.
• Administration of paper information using the Media Configuration Tool should be performed by the printer
administrator.
• Canon offers absolutely no guarantees regarding the print quality or paper feed properties of customer paper
448
(paper that is not Canon genuine paper or Canon output confirmed paper).
• The paper feed properties cannot be guaranteed if Add Custom Paper is used on Canon genuine paper in the

Media Configuration Tool.

• The print quality and paper feed properties cannot be guaranteed if Add Custom Paper is used on Canon
feed confirmed paper in the Media Configuration Tool. Furthermore, Canon does not guarantee the print
quality of Canon feed confirmed paper.
