Basic Printing
Recommended Paper Use
There are two steps recommended for getting the best printed output:
• Set the paper thickness lever for the media used. (See “Load Limit and Paper
Thickness Lever Position” on page 5.)
• Select the correct media setting in the printer driver. (See “Chapter 2:
Advanced Print Features” on page 9.)
General Printing
For everyday paper printing, use Canon Brilliant White Paper, Canon High
Resolution Paper, or plain paper (17 to 28 lb.). Use standard #10 envelopes with
your S900 photo printer.
Specialty Media
For optimum results, Canon recommends that you use genuine Canon media with
your S900 photo printer. Follow the instructions that come with any specialty
media on loading, storing, handling and printing.
The specialty media available for use with the S900 include:
• Canon Photo Paper Pro
• Canon Photo Paper Pro 4" x 6"
• Canon Photo Paper Pro for Borderless Printing 4" x 6"
• Canon Glossy Photo Paper
• Canon Glossy Photo Cards
• Canon High Gloss Photo Film
• Canon High Resolution Paper
• Canon Transparencies
• Canon Banner Paper
• Canon T-Shirt Transfers
Handle media carefully by its edges. Dirt or fingerprints on the print
surface will adversely affect print quality. For instructions on
loading and handling specialty media, see the S900 User’s Guide
on the S900 Setup Software & User’s Guide CD-ROM, or see the
instructions that come with that media.
