What Can I Do with This Machine?
Preface
Thank you for choosing a Canon product. Before using the machine, please read the
following instructions for your safety.
Important Safety Instructions
Except as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service the machine yourself. Never attempt to
disassemble the machine: opening and removing its interior covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and
other risks. For all service, contact Canon Customer Care Center, or a Canon Authorized Service Facility.
Handling and Maintenance
Be careful when removing printed paper from output trays or when aligning it, because it may be hot and result
in burn injury.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.
Do not subject the machine to strong physical shocks or vibrations.
Always unplug the machine before moving or cleaning it.
To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the scanning platform, or add or
remove paper in the machine while printing.
When transporting the machine, be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the
machine.
Place the toner cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth to
prevent exposure to light.
Always grip the handle on the sides of the machine when you lift the machine. Never lift
the machine by any of its trays or attachments.
Do not insert any objects into the slots or openings on the machine since they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the machine.
To avoid spillage in or around the machine, do not eat or drink near it.
Keep the machine clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the machine from operating
properly.

Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and
contact Canon Customer Care Center in any of the following cases:
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid or small object has fallen 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 this guide. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in this
guide. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
If the machine has been dropped.
If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for
servicing.
Location
Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to
support its weight.
Place the machine in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place.
Make sure the area is free from dust.
Make sure the location is not exposed to high temperature or humidity.
Keep the machine away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to place
the machine near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
Do not use the machine near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come into
contact with the machine.
Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
Do not place the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic
fields, such as speakers.

xix
What Can I Do with This Machine?
If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone line outlet for easy connection
of the telephone line cord, and to avoid the expense of installing a new outlet.
Place the machine near a standard 120 V AC (60 Hz) power outlet.
To ensure reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from overheating (which
can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent.
Never block or cover any openings on the machine by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. Do not place the machine in a cupboard or built-in installation, or
near a radiator or other heat source unless proper ventilation is provided. Leave at least
4" (10 cm) around all sides of the machine.
* The depth is 29 3/4" (755 mm)
when scanning platform is
lifted up.
Do not stack boxes or furniture around the power outlet. Keep the area free so you can
reach the outlet quickly. If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange odors, noises)
around the machine, unplug the power cord immediately. Contact Canon Customer Care
Center.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not place the machine where
the cord will be walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.
