Printing a banner via canon mx310

Here are the instructions for duplex printing.

The duplex printing function allows you to print data on both sides of a sheet of paper.

The procedure for performing duplex printing is as follows:

1. Open the printer driver setup window, and check the Duplex Printing check box on the Page Setup tab.

2. Select Normal-size Printing (or Fit-to-Page Printing, Scaled Printing or Page Layout Printing) from the Page Layout list.

3. Specify Staple Side.

The printer analyzes the Orientation and Page Layout settings, and automatically selects the best staple position. Check the Staple Side setting. If you want to change the setting, select another value from the list.

4. If necessary, click Specify Margin... and set the Margin width.

5. Click OK.

If a media type other than Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected for Media Type on the Main tab:

When you execute print, the document will be printed on one side of a sheet of paper. When printing is complete, reload paper according to the displayed message and then click OK. The document will be printed on the opposite side.

If Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected for Media Type on the Main tab:

When you execute print, the document will be printed front and back alternately for one sheet at a time. Load the paper according to the displayed messages.
Note

Duplex Printing is unavailable when:

- A media type other than Plain Paper or Photo Paper Plus Double Sided is selected from the Media Type list.

- Poster Printing is selected from the Page Layout list.

When Booklet Printing is selected from the Page Layout list, Duplex Printing and Staple Side appear grayed out and are unavailable.

Please rate this solution. Thanks.

The MX310 is a straight through printer. So you put the paper in the rear tray after opening it. Pull out the paper support and adjust the lever for the paper thickness to match your paper specifications. The lever goes to the left unless printing envelopes and T-shirt transfers. Also pull out the paper output tray and set the output tray extension.

Align the 4 corners of the paper stack (if loading more than one sheet) and bend to uncurl the paper (if needed) before inserting in the rear tray. For photo paper and other pages with a print side and a back, place the pages with the print side facing up. Align the paper against the right side of the rear tray and then pinch the paper guide and slide it to the left side of the paper stack. Make sure to adjust the paper size to match in the computer's printer properties (paper size) or in the copy settings on the all-in-one before either printing or copying.

Specific directions and pictures are in the Quick Start Guide that is available as a PDF here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx310#BrochuresAndManuals .

I hope this helps.

Yes through MS Word.
Go to the file menu select page setup select the paper tab and then from the drop down menu select paper size and select envelope. If you have multiple options for envelope like envelope9, envelope10, envelope11 etc. select the envelop size that you want. The paper size of the document will change to the specified envelope size and then you can print the document normally using any printer.

Hi Did you get an answer I have the same problem.

the default page setup - paper size and orientation of your email was not set to short or long bond paper. try to find settings then set it to bond paper size

Many programs allow you to change the size of the page for the document you are creating. If the size of the page defined in the program is different than the size of the page set in the printer driver, the document may print too small or over multiple pages.

In the application you wish to print from, check for a 'Page Setup' option in the 'File' menu. Make sure that the defined page size in 'Page Setup' matches the printer's settings. If you are unable to locate 'Page Setup', consult the application's 'Help' files or manual.

Note:

• Be sure to set the printer driver setting properly. If you do not, the address will be printed in the wrong direction.
  
  
• It may be required to change the paper size option to 'Envelope' in File Page Setup menu.
  Note:
  

Printer Driver Settings:

1Select Envelope in Media Type.

1. 
   
2. Select the size for envelopes.
   
   * In Windows, select DL Env. or Comm. Env. #10 in Page Size.
   
3. * In Macintosh, select DL Envelope or #10 Envelope in Paper Size.
   
4. Select Landscape in Orientation.
   

Unfused Image
The printed image is not fully fused to the paper. The image rubs off easily

On the page to be printed. Click File > then click on Print > Click Properties to check Paper Size for printing output. Or you can go to Print Preview first adjust the settings/properties in there before clicking on Print for the final print/output.

I had the same problem until recently. You have to install the drivers FROM THE CD that came with the printer, instead of selecting the drivers from the default list. Then, when selecting which printer driver to use (you'll have two options) choose Canon IJ and NOT Canon MX310 series. This is a problem with their MX310 driver, which is solved using a default/generic Canon InkJet (hence, the IJ) driver. Hope this helps!
P.S. This only works on Mac OS X. I have yet to figure out how to print wirelessly through Vista. Will keep you posted.
