Using Canon’s Specialty Papers
This section provides guidelines for printing on Canon’s specialty papers and 
describes special procedures required for high resolution paper, fabric sheets, and 
banner paper.
Specialty Paper Guidelines
Follow these guidelines:
❑When feeding transparencies, remove each sheet after it is delivered, being 
careful not to touch the document tray. Do not allow transparency sheets to 
stack up in the output tray. (Should you dirty the document tray when 
removing the sheets, wipe the document tray clean with a clean, soft, lint-free 
cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.)
❑Let the printed sheets of transparency or paper dry completely before storing 
them.
❑When your output has dried completely, cover its printed side with a sheet of 
plain (not coated) paper before storing it; this is recommended even if you 
place the sheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder. Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon specialty paper. 
These instructions provide important information regarding how to achieve the 
highest print quality with these papers.

❑When loading transparencies, insert one sheet of plain paper as the last sheet 
in the stack.
❑Do not leave film in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time. Dust and 
dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.
❑To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, use a pair of thin cloth gloves while 
loading and handling film.
❑To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.
❑Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their 
protective packaging until you are ready to use them.
❑Store unused film at temperatures between 59° and 86°F (15° and 30°C). The 
relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
Printing on High Resolution Paper
To load High Resolution Paper in the MultiPASS, follow the same procedure as for 
loading paper in the multi-purpose tray (see page 2-11). However, before printing, 
be sure to raise the paper output guides, as described below. 
After using a package of High Resolution Paper, be sure to perform the cleaning 
operation described on page page 2-18.
Using the Paper Output Guides
When printing on High Resolution Paper or Banner Paper, use the guides on the 
paper output tray to help support the printed sheet as it exits the unit. This will 
keep the sheet from sagging and pulling through the unit as it exits, which can lead 
to poor print quality. 
						

							2-18Paper Handling Chapter 2
1. Raise both paper output guides to a vertical position.
2. When you finish printing on High Resolution Paper or Banner Paper, lower 
the paper output guides.
Using the Cleaning Sheet
Canon’s High Resolution Paper is designed for high quality printing. This paper is 
specially coated to produce delicate color output.
After using a package of High Resolution Paper (200 sheets) you need to use 
the cleaning sheet, provided with the paper, to remove paper dust from the unit’s 
rollers; this will help prevent paper feed problems.
1. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set to the left  m (see page 2-6).  Always raise both paper output guides.
Always lower the paper output guides when using the MultiPASS as a fax 
machine; in the raised position they can cause the faxes to pile up and jam.

2. Remove the covers from the two pieces of tape on the cleaning sheet.
3. With the sticky side out (toward you) and down (going into the multi-purpose 
tray), insert the sheet into the multi-purpose tray until it stops, so that the 
right edge of the sheet is aligned with the right side of the multi-purpose tray. 
Then slide the paper guide snugly against the left edge of the  cleaning sheet. To avoid paper jams, smearing, and other problems, never open the printer 
cover to set the paper thickness lever while the MultiPASS is printing.

The MultiPASS feeds the cleaning sheet into the MultiPASS and cleans the

Printing on Banner Paper
Banner paper is a continuous sheet of paper with perforations at equal distances 
along its length, where it can be cut to the length required. For best results, use 
Canon’s Banner Paper.
To set up a print job on banner paper, you must decide on the number of sheets 
you need. The banner can be a maximum of five actual printed pages (for a total of 
six pages, including the first sheet on which the banner cannot be printed).ROLLER CLEANING

Always leave an extra sheet at the end of the banner — just in case the type 
runs over.
Printing on banner paper requires quite a bit of ink. If you think your BJ 
cartridge may run out of ink, use a new BJ cartridge.
For best print results on banner paper, use light design patterns.
To prevent ink from running over the edges of the sheet, print within the 
margins (see page A-4).

1. Place the MultiPASS near the edge of a table so that the paper can flow over the 
edge as it exits the unit.
❑Make sure the paper rest is extended.
2. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set to the left  m  (see page 2-6).
To avoid paper jams, smearing, and other problems, never open the printer 
cover to set the paper thickness lever while the MultiPASS is printing.

8. Slide the paper guide against the left edge of the sheet, leaving a 0.04 inch (1 
mm) gap between the paper guide and the edge of the sheet.
❑Make sure the sheet is under the tabs on the multi-purpose tray.
9. Your MultiPASS is now ready to print. Set your Macintosh to print on the 
banner paper.
❑Allow the paper to flow over the edge of the table as it exits the MultiPASS.
