Important Safety Instructions
ead these safety instructions thoroughly before using your machine, and keep them handy in case you need to refer to them
later.
For cardiac pacemaker users
• This product and the drum cartridge emit lo level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities,
please stay a ay from this product and the drum cartridge, and consult your doctor.
• Do not disassemble or modify. There are high-temperature and high-voltage components inside the machine hich may result
in a fire or electrical shock.

n
nn
nLocation
• Do not place the machine near alcohol, paint, thinner or other inflammable substances.
If inflammable substances come into contact ith electrical parts inside the machine, it
may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not block or cover the ventilation port or any openings on the machine ith objects,
as this may result in a fire.
• Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to
support its eight (approx. 24.0 kg iR1530/iR1570F, 21.9 kg iR1510).
• Make sure the area is free from dust.
• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
During use, the machine generates ozone. However, the amount of ozone generated is not
enough to affect the human body. Nevertheless, if the machine is used for a prolonged
period of time in a poorly ventilated room, or when making a large quantity of prints, be
sure to ventilate the room to make the working environment as comfortable as possible.
• Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature changes, and always stays
between 20°C and 25°C.
• Make sure the relative humidity of the area is between 40% and 70%.

1-2
• Keep the machine away from direct sunlight.
• Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
• Do not install the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields, such as speakers.
• Make sure the machine is approximately 10 cm away from walls and other equipment for proper ventilation.

• If dust accumulates around the plug of the power cord when it is connected to a power outlet,
unplug the machine and wipe the plug with a clean, dry cloth.
• For the i 1570F model, do not plug the machine into the same circuit with appliances such
as an air conditioner, television or copier. These devices generate an electrical noise, and may
interfere with your machine’s operation.
• Plug the machine into a standard 220-240 V AC power outlet. Operate the machine only from the type of power source
indicated on the machine’s label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your local power company.
• Use only the power cord that came with the machine.
• Unplug the machine in the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has spilled into the machine.
- If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in the guides included with your machine.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in the guides since improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

Paper Handling
Print Media Requirements
For high-quality copies, we recommend using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon. Some types of paper available
at office supply stores may not be suitable for this machine. If you have any questions about paper and transparencies, consult
your dealer or Canon Customer elations.
Paper Storage
In order to prevent paper jams, follow the procedure below for storing paper:
• To prevent moisture built-up, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store paper in a dry location, out
of direct sunlight.
• To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.
• After copying, do not leave paper in the stack bypass.
Unacceptable Paper
Do not copy on the following types of copy stock; doing so will result in paper jams.
• Severely curled or wrinkled paper
• Transparencies for full-colour copiers or printers
• Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-colour copier (Do not copy on the reverse side either.)
• Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side either.)
• Never attempt to make copies on full-colour transparencies. Doing so may result in copier malfunction.
Acceptable Paper
* Tell the service person, if you want to use LGL, LT sizes.

Loading Paper

nLoading Paper in the Paper Drawer
This section describes how to load paper in the paper drawer.
• When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
1Grip the paper drawer handle, and draw it out towards you until the paper
drawer comes to a stop.
2Open a package of paper, and remove the paper stack.
• If the paper is curled, uncurl it before placing it in the paper drawer. Failure to do so will
cause paper creases and a paper jam.
• 64 to 80 g/m2 paper is acceptable.
• The paper drawer holds up to approximately 500 sheets of 80 g/m2 paper.
3Load the paper stack beneath the paper drawer’s length guide’s claws a and
width guide’s claws b.
• Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the length and width guide’s claws in the
paper drawer. Failure to do so will cause a paper jam.
• Do not load extra paper when there is still paper left in the paper drawer.
• Only load one size of paper into the paper drawer. Do not load different sizes of paper
into the paper drawer at the same time.
• The paper drawer is for plain paper, coloured paper or recycled paper only. Loading
other paper in the paper drawer may cause a paper jam.
• Do not load labels or transparencies into the paper drawer.
4Gently insert the paper drawer as far as it will go.
• If copies are curled, or a paper jam occurs, remove the paper stack from the paper
drawer. Turn it over and then place it in the paper drawer.
• If you load paper while making copies, do not load a different paper size.

2-4
Closing the paper drawer
When closing the paper drawer, make sure to push it in completely as far as it will go. If copying is performed when the paper
drawer is not pushed in completely, it will cause a paper jam.
If copy paper is sticking out of the paper drawer
Sometimes, when you pull out the paper drawer, paper may stick out as shown in the illustration below. Make sure that the paper
is neatly loaded into the paper drawer before you push the paper drawer back into the main unit.
