Take note of the following warnings when added custom paper other than Canon genuine paper and feed confirmed
paper to the printer driver and the printer itself.
About the Cutter
•
Depending on the paper, there are types that cannot be cut by the cutter unit, and types that speed deterioration of
the blade and cause damage to the cutter. For thick paper, hard paper, etc. do not use the cutter unit, and instead
cut the roll paper using scissors, etc. after printing. In this case, select
User Cut
as the
Automatic Cutting Set-
tings
in the
Roll Paper Settings
dialog box.
Note
•
If the cutter is damaged, contact your Canon dealer for assistance.
•
For details on the methods for cutting roll paper,
see "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls."

About Borderless Printing
•
When performing borderless printing on paper where the ink does not dry well, the cutter unit may leave scratches
where it touches the printed surface, or may not cut correctly. In this kind of situation, configure the amount of time
to wait for the ink to dry after printing using
Drying Time
in the
Roll Paper Settings
dialog box.
Alternatively, if the paper cannot be cut well by the cutter, set the
Automatic Cutting Settings
to
User Cut
in the
Roll Paper Settings
dialog box, and cut the roll paper using scissors, etc.
