•As a general rule, do not use extension cords or plug extension cords to a multiple
power strip. If extension cords must be used or plugged to a multiple power strip,
however, use them observing the following points on user's own authority. If you use
extension cords improperly, this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
- Do not connect one extension cord to another.

xiv
- Make sure that the voltage of the power plug is the one indicated in the rating label
(attached on the back of the printer) when you use the printer.
- Use an extension cord that allows the current value greater than the necessary one
indicated in the rating label (attached on the back of the printer).
- When you use an extension cord, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug
completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the
power cord and the extension cord.
- Periodically check that the extension cord is not overheated.
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 power plug when unplugging the power cord. Pulling on the power
cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If the
power cord is damaged, this could cause 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 result in 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 emits smoke, heat or unusual smells,
immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power plug from the AC power
outlet, and contact your local authorized Canon dealer. Otherwise, this 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.
•Always turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the interface cables when moving
the printer. Otherwise, the power cord or interface cables 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 slipped inside the printer, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the
power plug from the AC power outlet, and contact your local authorized Canon
dealer.

xv
•When unplugging the USB cable when the power is turned ON, do not touch the
metal part of the connector, as this may result in electrical shock.
CAUTION
•Do not place heavy objects on the printer, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.
•Be careful when handling the expansion board. Touching the edges or a sharp
portion of the expansion board may result in personal injuries.
•Turn OFF the power switch for safety when the printer will not be used for a long
period of time such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the power switch on the right 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
printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user operation. Read
the following remarks and instructions for safety.
- Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.
- Do not remove the caution label attached to the cover of the laser scanner unit.
- If the laser beam escapes from the printer, exposure may cause serious damage to
your eyes.
•It is confirmed that the LBP3600 is a Class 1 laser product in compliance with
IEC60825-1: 1993.
Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•When cleaning the printer, turn OFF the main power switch, then unplug the power
plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Clean the printer using a slightly dampened cloth with water or a mild detergent
diluted with water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable
substances. If flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside
the printer, this may result in a fire or electrical shock.

xvi
•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.
•Do not burn or throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•Unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet regularly, and clean the area around
the base of the power plug's metal pins and the AC power outlet with a dry cloth to
ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power plug is plugged 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.
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 doing so may result in burns or
electrical shock.
•When removing jammed paper or replacing a 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 getting
into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into 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 with
the edges of the paper.

xvii
•When removing a used toner cartridge from the toner cartridge guide, 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
WARNING
•Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause toner
remaining inside the cartridge to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
•Do not store a toner cartridge or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as
this may cause the toner or paper to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
•Keep toner and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items
are ingested, consult a physician immediately.
Others
WARNING
•The toner cartridge generates a low level magnetic field. If you use a cardiac
pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from the toner cartridge and
