General Paper Guidelines

Paper Types You Cannot Use
Do not use: Folded, creased, curled, or wrinkled paper Envelopes with double flaps, or with pressure seals Moist paper Paper with holes (e.g. punched holes) Very thin paper (less than 17 lb. or 64 g/m2) Very thick paper (more than 28 lb. or 105 g/m2) other than genuine Canon paper Postcards with photographs or stickers adhered to them Envelopes made with embossed or treated surfaces

Handling Paper

Hold the paper as close as possible to its edges and try not to touch the print surface. The print quality will deteriorate if the print surface is damaged or becomes dirty. Do not touch the print surface until the ink has dried. Some paper may curl and the print surface may smudge if you have used a large amount of ink for printing. Paper that tends to curl is not recommended for printing photographs or graphics. Use it for printing mainly text. If the paper is curled, uncurl (flatten) it before printing. Place the paper back into its packet when not using it, and store out of direct sunlight in a place where the temperature and humidity are low. If the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat, ink may blur.

Defective parts or a defective Product returned to a Canon USA repair facility or a Canon USA Authorized Service Facility ("ASF"), and proven to be defective upon inspection will be (a) repaired; (b) exchanged for new or comparable rebuilt, recovered, remanufactured, repaired and/or recycled parts or; (c) exchanged for a refurbished Product, as determined by the Canon USA repair facility or the ASF. Warranty repair or replacement shall not extend the original warranty period of the Product. A dated proof of purchase is required at the time of warranty service. A copy of your dated bill of sale will satisfy this requirement. This warranty does not cover any accessories, or any consumables, such as paper or ink cartridges, as to which there shall be no warranty or replacement. This limited warranty shall only apply if the Product is used in conjunction with compatible computers, peripheral equipment and software. Canon USA shall have no responsibility for such items except for compatible Canon brand peripheral equipment covered by a separate warranty ("Separate Warranty"). Repairs of such Canon brand peripheral equipment shall be governed by the terms of the Separate Warranty. Non-Canon brand equipment and software that may be distributed with the Product are sold "as is" and without warranty of any kind by Canon USA, including any implied warranty regarding merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and all such warranties are disclaimed. The sole warranty, if any, with respect to such non-Canon brand items is given by the manufacturer or producer thereof. This limited warranty covers all defects encountered in normal use of the Product and does not apply in the following cases: (a) Loss of or damage to the Product due to abuse, neglect, mishandling, improper packaging by you, alteration, accident, electrical current fluctuations, improper use, failure to follow operating or maintenance instructions in, or environmental conditions prescribed in, Canon USA's user's manual or other documentation, or services performed by someone other than a Canon USA repair facility or ASF. Without limiting the foregoing, dropping the Product, scratches, and abrasions will be presumed to have resulted from misuse, abuse or failure to operate the Product as set forth in the user's manual or other documentation for the Product. (b) Use of parts, media, software or supplies (other than those sold by Canon USA), including nonCanon ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges, that cause damage to the Product or cause abnormally frequent service calls or service problems. (c) If the Product has had its serial number or dating defaced, altered or removed.
