The following paper types do not print well:

•	 Glossy
	paper
Make sure that the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.
Make sure to test print before purchasing large quantities of copy paper.
Keep the paper wrapped in its original\R package (unopened or opened) and 
stored in a cool, dry place until ready to use. Make sure to keep it on a flat 
surface.
Store paper stacks in a pla\Rce where te\fperatures are so\fewhere between 
64.4 to 75.2°F (18 to 24°C) and hu\fidity is so\fewhere between 40 % to 60 
% RH.
 C\bUTION
To print on da\fp paper
The following problems may occur. •
 Steam is emitted fr

om the machine’s 
output area.
•
 Water dr

oplets form on the back side \Iof 
the operation pane\Il and in the output\I 
area.
Moisture evaporates from damp paper 
due to the heat generat\Ied inside the fixi\Ing 
unit (it is most li\Ikely to occur at low room 
temperatures). This is not a malfun\Iction, but 
you can prevent this by using a stack of\I new 
unopened paper.
Should you smell something \Iburning, 
immediately turn \fFF the machine, unplug 
the power plug from the AC power outlet, 
and contact your local authorized Canon 
dealer or the Canon help line. Continued use 
may lead to a fire or electrical shock.
