Adding Custom Paper
In the Media Configuration Tool, paper created by customizing existing media information is called custom
paper.
To improve the print quality and feeding of paper other than Canon genuine paper or Canon feed confirmed
paper, add and edit custom paper.
To add a new custom paper to a printer, first select the media information used as its basis.
Next, specify the name of the paper, and then add it to the printer as custom paper.
After adding custom paper to the printer, edit the media information of the custom paper to obtain a high
quality print result.
For details on the procedure for editing media information for custom paper, see "Editing Custom Paper."
