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
Please read these“Important Safety Instructions”thoroughly before operating the
machine. As these instructions are intended to prevent injury to the user or other persons
or destruction of property, always pay attention to these instructions. Also, since it may
result in unexpected accidents or injuries, do not perform any operation unless otherwise
specified in the manual. Improper operation or use of this machine could result in personal
injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered under your
Limited Warranty.
Handling and Maintenance
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are high‑temperature and
high‑voltage components inside the machine which may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
If the machine makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or strange smells,
immediately turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Then, contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or the Canon Customer
Care Center. Continued use of the machine in this condition may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not use highly flammable sprays near the machine. If gas from these sprays comes
into contact with the electrical components inside the machine, this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn off the main
power switch, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine. Otherwise, the
power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.

xviii
Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do
not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, etc.)
inside the machine. If these items come into contact with a high‑voltage area inside the
machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped or spilled
inside the machine, immediately turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the
power cord from the power outlet. Then contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or
the Canon Customer Care Center.
Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.
Close the feeder gently to avoid catching your hands, as this may result in personal injury.
Do not press down hard on the feeder when using the platen glass to make copies of
thick books. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in personal injury.
Do not put your hand close to the rollers on the output tray. The machine may suddenly
begin to print even if it is not in operation, causing your clothing or fingers to become
caught in the machine and resulting in injury.
If the laser beam escapes from the machine, exposure may cause serious damage to your
eyes.
The laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the
product is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser
beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. Read the
following remarks and instructions for safety.
Be careful when removing printed paper from output trays or when aligning it, because it
may be hot and result in burn injury.
Turn off the control panel power switch for safety when the machine will not be used
for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn off the main power switch, and
disconnect the power cord for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended
period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.

xix
What Can I Do with This Machine?
Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.
Do not remove the caution label attached to the fixing unit and the duplex unit.
When cleaning the machine, first turn off the main power switch, and then disconnect
the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around
the base of the power plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure
that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of
time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and
become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with
water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check
detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a
high‑voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
There are some area inside the machine which are subject to high‑voltage. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this
may result in burns or electrical shock.
Do not burn or throw used cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner
remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
