cause the printer to fall or tip over, resulting in personal injury.

xiv
•Never block the ventilation slots and louvers on the printer. These openings are
provided for proper ventilation of working parts inside the printer. Blocking
these openings can cause the printer to overheat. Never place the printer on a
soft surface, such as a sofa or rug.
•Do not install the printer in the following locations:
- A damp or dusty location.
- A location exposed to smoke and steam, such as near stoves and humidifiers.
- A location exposed to rain and snow.
- A location near water faucets and water.
- A location which is exposed to direct sunlight.
- A location subject to high temperatures.
- A location that is subject to open flames.
•To avoid damaging the printer or personal injury, carry the printer in the manner
shown in the illustration below. Hold it firmly, with one hand on each side.
•When connecting the interface cable, connect it properly according to the
instruction in this manual. If not connected properly, it may result in a
malfunction or electrical shock.
•When moving the printer, follow the instructions in this manual to hold it
correctly. Failure to do so may cause you to drop the printer, resulting in
personal injury.
Power Supply
WARNING
•Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on
the power cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical
damage and result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do so may cause the
cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not insert or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this may result in
electrical shock.
•Do not plug the printer into a multi-plug power strip, as this may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
•Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
•Insert the power cord completely into the outlet, as failure to do so may result in
a fire or electrical shock.

xv
•As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may
result in a fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however,
use one rated for voltages of AC 230 V and over and untie the cord binding and
insert the power plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm
connection between the power and extension cord.
CAUTION
•Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as
this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Always grasp the plug when unplugging the power plug. Pulling on the power
cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If
the cord is damaged, this could cause a current to leak, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.
•Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily.
If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an
emergency.
Handling
WARNING
•Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. There are high-temperature
and high-voltage components inside the printer which may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
•Electrical equipment can be hazardous if not used properly. To avoid injury, do
not allow children access to the interior of any electrical product, and do not let
them touch any electrical contacts or gears that are exposed.
•If the printer makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat or unusual smells,
immediately turn OFF the power switch, and unplug the power plug from the
outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer. Continued use of the
printer in this condition may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use highly flammable sprays near the printer. If gas from these sprays
comes into contact with the electrical components inside the printer, it may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
•To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn the
main power switch to OFF, and unplug the interface cable when moving the
printer. Otherwise the power cord and interface cable may be damaged,
resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not drop paper clips, staples or other metal objects inside the printer. Also,
do not spill water, liquids or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint
thinner, etc.) inside the printer. If these items come into contact with a
high-voltage area inside the printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If
these items are dropped or spilled inside the printer, immediately turn the main
power switch to OFF and unplug the power plug from the outlet. Then contact
your local authorized Canon dealer.
•When unplugging the USB cable while the power switch is turned ON, do not
touch the metal part of the connector. This may lead to electrical shock.

xvi
CAUTION
•Do not place heavy objects on the printer, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.
•Turn OFF the main power switch for safety when the printer will not be used for
a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the main power switch
on the back of the printer and unplug the power plug for safety when the printer
will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive
holidays.
•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 can not escape from the printer during any phase of user
operation. Read the following remarks and following instructions for safety.
•Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.
•Do not remove the caution label attached to the laser scanner unit inside the
printer.
•If the laser beam escapes from the printer, exposure may cause serious damage
to your eyes.
Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•When cleaning the printer, first turn OFF the main power switch, then unplug the
power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
•Unplug the power plug from the outlet regularly, and clean the area around the
base of the plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure all
dust and grime is removed. If the printer is plugged in for a long period of time
in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the plug and
become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
•There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high voltages.
When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do
not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the
printer, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.

xvii
•Do not throw used toner cartridges into open flames.The remaining toner inside
the cartridges will ignite and may cause burns or a fire.
CAUTION
•Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this
manual.There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those
controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment
could result in personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that
may not be covered under your Limited Warranty.
•The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer may become hot during
use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer,
do not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as this may result in burns or
electrical shock.
•When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to
allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will
dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with
cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible
to remove the toner stains.
•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the printer, remove the
jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and
entering your eyes or mouth. If toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them
immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
•When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands
on the edges of the paper.
•When removing used toner cartridges from the toner cartridge slot, remove the
cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and entering your eyes
or mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with
cold water and immediately consult a physician.
Consumables

•Do not throw used toner cartridges into open flames.The remaining toner inside
the cartridges will ignite and may cause burns or a fire.
