Note
• For details on non-standard paper sizes,
see " Printing on Non-Standard Paper Sizes ."
• Borderless printing is not supported on sheets.
When using this printer to print on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper, use paper that meets the following conditions.
Note
• Refer to Paper Reference Guide
334
•
Paper where the size is described in "Paper Sizes" (See " Paper Sizes .")
• Paper where the thickness is described in "Paper Thickness" in "Specifications"
• Paper where bleeding and ink overflow does not occur when printing
• Paper that does not warp severely when loading the paper or printing
Important
• If you use paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper, Canon provides absolutely no guarantees regarding print quality or paper feed properties. Refer to Paper Reference Guide for details on genuine
Canon paper and feed confirmed paper.
(See " Displaying the Paper Reference Guide .")

iPF840 Printing on Paper Other Than Genuine Paper and feed confirmed Paper Using Existing Settings
You can easily print on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper without making complicated settings by selecting existing settings provided in the printer control panel and printer driver depending on the media type you are using. The existing settings consist of general-purpose paper settings provided for each media type and special settings that allow you to select the amount of ink to use.
Important
• The genuine Canon paper settings provided in the printer control panel and printer driver are optimized for genuine Canon paper. If these settings are selected for printing on paper other than genuine Canon paper, the ink may bleed or the printhead may rub against the paper. In order to easily print on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper, we recommend that you select one of the following general-purpose paper settings or special settings.
Note
• For an overview of the media types,
•
Choosing General-Purpose Paper Settings
Since these settings anticipate a wide variety of paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper, these settings will make it difficult for bleeding ink and the printhead rubbing to occur. Refer to the following table for the relationships between the conditions of the paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed confirmed paper and the media type to select.

*1: Print using slightly less ink. Try this if you are concerned about rubbing of ink after printing.
*2: Software RIP is required separately.
Selecting Special Settings
Special settings are provided that allow you to select the amount of ink used in steps. You can fix lackluster colors or bleeding ink by selecting special settings where the amount of ink used is suitable for the paper you are using.
"Special 1" uses the least amount of ink, with the amount of ink used increasing through 5 steps as the number increases up to "Special 5" which uses the greatest amount of ink. Although colors become more vivid as the amount of ink used increases, bleeding also occurs more easily. We recommend that you try in order starting from
"Special 1" while checking the state of the printing.

Follow these steps to change the type of paper specified on the printer after you have loaded paper.
If you will continue using this type of paper later, selecting Keep Paper Type > On will save the time and effort of configuring the media type setting when you load the paper again. The current media type settings before you select On
will be automatically selected at that time. (See "Using the Same Type of Paper Regularly.")
Important
• For best printing results, the printer fine-tunes the print head height and the feed amount for each type of paper.
Be sure to select the type of paper to use correctly before printing.
• Because the printer fine-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper, the margins and the size of printed images may vary depending on the type of paper used. If margins and the size of images are not as you expected, adjust the paper feed amount.
(See " Adjusting the Feed Amount .")
• Rolls and sheets have different printing areas, and sheets having a larger bottom margin than rolls.

• If the Cutter touches the print surface on which the ink is not dry, the paper surface may become scratched or soiled, or the paper surface may rub when the paper falls and the surface may become soiled.
To wait for the ink to dry without allowing printed documents to fall after printing, set Cutting Mode on the menu of the printer to Eject

How rolls are cut after ejection varies depending on printer settings.
Cutting Method
Automatic The roll is automatically cut by the Cutter Unit following printer driver settings.
Eject (when the paper surface is being scratched / to wait for ink to dry)
(when using media that cannot be cut with the Cutter
Paper cutting (to have the roll cut at your specified position)
Select this to move the cutter by key operation and cut paper. Although there are cases with Automatic in which the paper falls and the paper surface is scratched when the paper rubs the Output Stacker, you can avoid damaging the paper with this method since you can cut by holding the paper with your hand so that the paper does not fall when cutting,
Also, since you can cut while visually confirming the drying of the ink, you can avoid ejecting paper before the ink has dried.
To cut the roll with the Cutter Unit, press the Cut button.
Select this for paper that cannot be cut with the
Cutter Unit and for paper of which the leading edge curls strongly and rubs the printhead.
Cut each page from the roll using scissors. For continuous printing (if you will cut each page later), select Automatic Cutting > Yes or select Print Cut
Guideline .
Choose this option if you want to cut pages by pressing Cutter Unit buttons for manual cutting after printing when Automatic Cutting > No is selected or Print Cut Guideline is selected in the printer driver.
Otherwise choose this option if you want to cut the roll edge after loading a roll.
