CHAPTER 1
Overview of the Clear Coating Feature
Clear coating is a printing feature that uses transparent and colorless
toner.
You can use the clear coating feature in conjunction with a copy or print
job, or you can use it independently by using preprinted paper.
IMPORTANT
For information on the Coating features, contact your local authorized
Canon dealer.
NOTE
The print result varies, depending on the paper type.
- If the clear coating feature is executed on matte paper, the print result may
be glossy.
- If the clear coating feature is executed on coated paper, the print result
may be less glossy.
Using the Clear Coating Feature in Conjunction with
a Copy or Print Job
■Coating a Part of the Paper (Clear Coat Form Composition)
The Clear Coat Form Composition mode enables you to copy or print a
clear image that has been stored on the hard disk of your machine or a
print server onto the original image. In this mode, cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black toners are used for copying/printing the original
image, and clear toner is used for printing the image form over the
original image. Blank paper is required to execute this mode.
This mode is available for the Copy, Mail Box, and Printer function
using a printer driver.

paper.
•When you copy or print a clear image onto the original using a printer driver,
it is recommended to use the same printer driver which you used for
creating the image form.
■Coating the Full Surface of the Paper (Clear Coat Entire
Page)
The Clear Coat Entire Page mode enables you to coat the full surface
of the paper while copying or printing. In this mode, cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black toners are used for copying/printing the original
image, and clear toner is used for coating. Blank paper is required to
execute this mode.
This mode is available for the Copy, Mail Box, and Printer function
