Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-3
Paper Handling
Selecting Print Media
This section describes the different print media you can use with your MultiPASS.
To achieve the best possible printing performance, be sure to select the correct
print media.
Plain Paper
The MultiPASS supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation.
You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, and typical letterhead. Your
unit does not require special ink jet paper, and produces letter quality print on
most plain bond paper, including cotton bond and photocopy paper. Always use
paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges. Copier paper has a preferred
side for printing. Look at the label on the package to see which side to print on.
Envelopes
The MultiPASS can print on U.S. Commercial No. 10 envelopes and European DL
envelopes.
The following envelopes are not recommended because they may cause jams or
smears, or may damage your unit:
❑ Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, and double flaps.
❑ Envelopes made with special coated paper or deeply embossed paper.
❑ Envelopes using peel-off sealing strips.
❑ Envelopes in which letters have been enclosed.
Glossy Photo Paper
Canon Glossy Photo Paper is a high gloss, thick paper that produces the look and
feel of a photograph.
Be sure to test print media before purchasing a large quantity. If you have any
questions on whether a particular medium is suitable for your MultiPASS, please
contact your local Canon dealer.
n
You may be able to stack envelopes of other sizes in the multi-purpose tray.
However, Canon cannot guarantee consistent performance on envelope sizes
other than U.S. Commercial No. 10 or European DL.
