Ensuring Optimal Printing Results Ink Tips Printing Tips Check Paper Settings Before Printing Set Cassette Paper Information After Loading Paper Canceling a Print Job Keeping Print Quality High Transporting Your Printer 342
Ink Tips How is ink used for various purposes other than printing? Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. When you use the Canon printer for the first time after you install the bundled ink tanks, the printer consumes a small amount of ink in the amount to enable printing by filling the nozzles of the Print Head with ink. For this reason, the number of sheets that can be printed with the first ink tanks is fewer than the succeeding ink tanks.
Printing Tips Check the machine status before printing! • Is the print head OK? If a print head nozzle is clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head. Maintenance Procedure • Is the inside of the machine smeared with ink? After printing large quantities of paper or performing borderless printing, the area where papers go through may get smeared with ink. Clean the inside of your machine with Bottom Plate Cleaning.
Check Paper Settings Before Printing Before printing, make paper settings in the operation panel or the computer screen. There are various types of paper, such as paper with a special surface coating for printing photos at optimal quality and paper suitable for documents. Each media type has specific preset settings (how ink is used and sprayed, distance from nozzles, etc.), that allow you to print to that type with optimal image quality.
Set Cassette Paper Information After Loading Paper When you insert a cassette into the machine after loading paper, the screen for setting the type and size of paper is displayed. Set the cassette paper information according to the type and size of loaded paper. To prevent incorrect printing, this machine has a function that detects whether the information set for the paper loaded in the cassette matches the paper settings.
Canceling a Print Job Never press the ON button! If you press the ON button while printing is in progress, the print data sent from the computer queues in the machine and you may not be able to continue to print. Press the Stop button to cancel printing.
Keeping Print Quality High The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging. Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality. Note • Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or paintstick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.
Transporting Your Printer When relocating the machine for changing your living place or repairing it, make sure of the following. Important • Pack the machine in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficient protective material to ensure safe transport. • With the print head and ink tank left installed in the machine, press the ON button to turn off the power. This allows the machine to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying.
