Print Media That Can Be Used
A variety of print media can be used with this printer. The size and types of
paper or special media, the print area for each type, and other details are
described below.
Important
z With some print media, the hue of some colors may change slightly when the ink
on the surface of the media has dried completely. In such a case, wait for the ink to
dry completely before handling the media.
Note
z For more details about Canon print media, please refer to the instructions provided
with each media package.
Types of Print Media
The types of paper and other print media are described below.
TPlain Paper
Inexpensive paper for use. Suitable for printing monochrome, proofs,
and low density color images.
Note
z Compared to other types of media, the stability of plain paper is slightly less
because it is more susceptible to change by temperature and humidity.
2
z You can also use plain, cut sheet copy paper (64 ~ 105 g/m ) intended for use on
copy machines.
TCoated Paper
Specially coated for use, coated paper reproduces brilliant colors without
blurring.
THeavy Coated Paper
Specially coated for use, heavy coated paper is thicker than coated paper,
making it suitable for printing POP artwork and other graphic designs.
TGlossy Paper
Provided with a brilliant, bright base coat on its print side. This media is
suitable for printing high density graphic images like photographs and
other images that require extremely high quality finishing.

TGlossy Film
Coated with a film base that reproduces color even more brilliantly than
glossy paper. This media is ideal for reproducing brilliant colors for
graphic and photographic images that require the best possible quality.
TPhoto Glossy Paper
Highest grade glossy paper with a photographic print paper base coating
possessing high chromaticity, ideal for printing photographs. Realizes the
best reproduction of photographic images shot with traditional silver-
halide film.
TPhoto Semi-Glossy Paper
Highest grade semi-glossy paper with a photographic print paper base
coating possessing high chromaticity but also possesses properties to
suppress reflected light. Ideal for subduing surface light reflections when
you want to give a soft finish to photographs.
TProofing Paper
Media used to achieve best results in color hues and gloss. Ideal for
testing prints to confirm changed color or finishing settings.
TBack Print Film
The front side is glossy like a photograph and the reverse side is white,
semi-transparent and slightly rough to the touch. The finish of the front
side is like a photograph and ideal for display with a backlighting device.
The image is printed from the reverse side, protecting the front side so
laminate processing is not required.

types listed above. The Special settings determine in 5 steps the amount of ink used
on the surface of the media. The higher the number in the range of 1 to 5, the
greater the amount of ink used. The setting may require testing and adjustment,
depending on the media in use and the content of the image.
z The media size is detected automatically, therefore no setting for the size is
required.
z In order to align the leading edge correctly on the W7200, the paper is fed
approximately 100 mm (4 in.) then cut. On the W7250 without the stand installed,
the paper is feed 300 mm (11.8 in.) then cut.
z When the optional stand is not installed with the W7250, pressing ꢀ feeds the roll
media only about 130 mm (5.1 in.) to ensure that the surface of the printing area is

Using the Media Take-up Unit
take-up unit can be used to take up printed roll media as it is output from the
printer. This is convenient for very long, continuous print jobs on roll media.
Here is a summary of the general procedure for using the Media Take-up
Unit.
•
•
Load the roll media in the printer. (Æ P.2-8)
Use the operation panel to select “Enable” for the “Take-up Reel” item in
the MAIN MENU. (Æ P.2-30)
•
•
Install the Media Take-up Unit. (Æ P.2-31)
Execute the print job from Windows or a Macintosh. (Æ Chapter 3 or
Chapter 4)
•
•
Remove the printed media from the take-up reel of the Media Take-up
Unit. (Æ P.2-36)
Use the operation panel to select “Disable” for the “Take-up Reel” item
in the MAIN MENU. (Æ P.2-40)
Important
z When using the Media Take-up Unit, do not block the sensor or lay anything on
sensor to ensure that the unit operates correctly.
z When using the Media Take-up Unit, the auto cut feature never cuts the media,
regardless of the Auto Cut setting on the MAIN MENU. However, if the Auto Cut
setting in the printer driver is switched on, the media will be cut. Be sure to check
this setting off before starting the print job.
z The Media Take-up Unit cannot be used with cut sheets.
z The Media Take-up Unit cannot be used with plain paper rolls.
z With some print media, the hue of some colors may change slightly when the ink
on the surface of the media has dried completely. In such a case, wait for the ink to
dry completely before handling the media.
z When printing on thinly coated media or thin, weak media with a large amount of
ink in a location where the humidity is high, the media may be difficult to take up
cleanly without smearing. In such a case, improve the environmental situation such
as relocation or climate control, or use the printer driver set the ink drying time to
insure that the printed media is dry when it is taken up.

tank will run out of ink very soon. The first letter(s) of the message (“X”)
tells you which tank is running low: Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), PM (Photo
Magenta), C (Cyan), PC (Photo Cyan), Bk (Black). For example, “Y Ink
Check”. After this message is displayed, have the correct color ink tank on
hand for replacement.

Handling Ink Tank Precautions
Follow the precautions below when handling ink tanks.
Caution
z Store the ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally
ingests ink from an ink tank, contact a physician immediately.
Important
z To avoid spilling and damage from stains, never drop or shake an ink tank.
z There may be some ink on or around the ink port of an ink removed from the
printer, so always handle a removed ink tank carefully to avoid staining your
clothing or the work area.
z Do not break the seal of the protective packing on an ink tank until you are ready to
install it in the printer. After breaking the seal, install the ink tank immediately. Not
installing and ink tank immediately after breaking its seal could cause poor
printing.
z An ink tank should be used up within six months after its seal is broken. Not using
the ink tank within this time period could cause poor printing.
z Never leave an ink tank removed from the printer for longer than one month. This
could lead to ink clogging in the tank and poor printing.

Caution About Using Refilled Ink Tanks for This
Printer
The ink tanks specified for use with this printer are provided with an ink
level detection function to prevent the tanks from running out of ink during
printing and to prevent damage to the printhead.
When using refilled ink tanks, the printer cannot detect the ink level and stop
printing due to ink shortage. If you use such ink tanks, then the ink level
detection function must be switched off.
Printing with the ink level detection function switched off could damage the
printer, especially the printhead, or could cause the printer to operate
abnormally in other ways. Canon is not responsible for damages or injuries
caused by such actions.
Caution
z Once the ink level detection feature is switched off, the ink level detection
information cannot be recovered. If you want to display the ink level
detection information, you must switch the ink level detection function on
and then install new ink tanks specified for use with this printer.
z Repeatedly removing the same ink tanks from the printer could cause ink to
leak from the tank and damage the printer.

Cleaning the Printhead
When the ink nozzles of the printhead become clogged, you can restore
normal operation by cleaning the printhead.
Types of Printhead Cleaning
There are two methods for printhead cleaning.
THead Cleaning A
Perform when the printing is faint or when dust has collected on the
printhead. This cleaning method consumes the least amount of ink. Head
Cleaning A requires about 1 minute to complete.
THead Cleaning B
Perform when the printing is blank or when Head Cleaning A does not
correct the problem. Head Cleaning B requires about 2 minutes to
complete.
Printhead Cleaning Procedure
Follow the procedure below to clean the printhead. The procedure is
basically the same for both printhead cleaning methods.
•
•
•
If one execution of Head Cleaning A does not correct the problem,
perform Head Cleaning B.
If Head Cleaning B does not correct the problem, repeat Head Cleaning
B two or three times.
If three consecutive cleanings with Head Cleaning B do not solve the
problem, then the printhead is damaged and should be replaced.

Aligning the Printhead
If you notice broken vertical lines or deviation in colors in your prints,
execute Print Pattern A and align the printhead. Before printing a printhead
alignment pattern, make sure A3 size or larger roll media is loaded.
Follow the procedure below to align the printhead.
Note
z When you execute Print Pattern A, use the media most commonly used with the
printer.
z If you use cut sheets to print the test pattern to align the printhead, prepare at least
three sheets of A3 size or larger. The sheets should be new, not the blank sides of
used paper or other media. The procedure with cut sheets is slightly different, so
you will need to follow the instructions displayed on the operation panel.

Adjusting Amount of Media Feed
The amount of feed is adjusted for each media type. Printing Pattern B sets
the amount of feed for the currently selected media type. Before printing,
make sure that A3 or larger roll media is set. If you are using the W7250
without the stand, make sure that A3 or larger cut sheet is set.
Important
z Before adjusting the amount of media feed, you must use the operation panel to
select the correct setting for the roll media type loaded in the printer. If the “Roll
Media Type” selection is incorrect for the roll media set in the printer, this could
cause poor print quality or possibly damage the printer.
z Only Cut Sheet should be used with the W7250 without the stand. For details about
loading cut sheets, see “Loading Cut Sheets” in Chapter 2 (Æ P.2-18). It is possible
to use both Roll Media and Cut Sheet with the W7200 and the W7250 with the
stand.
Note

Reducing the Amount of Cut Waste
The cut waste reduction function allows you to reduce the amount of waste
and paper dust created when cutting glossy film and other types of media
that easily generate cutting waste. Using this function reduces the chance of
poor print quality and lengthens the service life of the printhead. The cut
waste reduction feature can be switched on or off for each type of media.
Important
z Switching on the cut waste reduction function draws a black line at the leading and
trailing edges of roll media.
z Do not use this function with plain paper, thin paper, or paper that wrinkles easily.
To avoid paper jams, do not use this function with cut sheets. This function cannot
