•Usage Location
Do not place the devices on an unstable or tilted table or desk, as there is risk that the
devices may fall and cause injury.

~CAUTIONS
•Devices
Do not block the air vents on the printer. Blocking the vents may cause the inside of the
printer to overheat, resulting
in damage to internal components and risk of equipment failure
or fire. Use the devices
in awell-ventilated area.
Do not rest heavy objects on the devices. Objects may fall off the devices and cause
injury. Weight placed on the devices may deform the casing, resulting
in damage to internal
parts and posing risk of fire.
Unplug the devices when you are not using them. If the devices remain plugged
in, there
is risk that accidental contact with the device's internal parts may cause electric shock.
Leaving the devices plugged
in during prolonged periods of non-use poses risk of fire.
Do not remove the paper cassette from the printer while printing is in progress. Paper
moves back and forth
in the cassette four times during printing. Placing your hand in the way
of moving paper may result
in injury. Wait for printing to finish completely before removing the
cassette. Never place your hand into the paper cassette slot.
Do not reach into internal parts of the devices except as specified
in the operating
instructions. Reaching into inappropriate parts of the devices may cause your hand to
become caught or injured.
•Power
Do not move the devices while they are plugged in. Doing so may damage the power
cord. Continued use of adamaged power cord poses risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not excessively bend or twist the power cord. Doing so may damage the cord.
Continued use of adamaged cable poses risk of fire or equipment failure. Leave about 15 cm
(6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the devices and 10 cm
(4 in.) of clearance on both
sides
to ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not pull on the power cord. Doing so may damage the power cord. Continued use of a
damaged cord poses risk of fire or electric shock. Always hold the cord by the plug area when
unplugging
it.
•

•Usage Location
Do not use the devices in locations that are smoky, humid, dusty, or subject to strong
vibration. Entry of water or dust into the devices, or internal damage caused by strong
vibration, may pose risk of fire or electric shock. Have the devices checked approximately
once ayear (contact your dealer), preferably before the onset of your area's humid season.
Do not leave the devices exposed to high temperatures.
Do not leave in direct sunlight, or
close to heating equipment, or
in acar with windows closed on ahot day. High temperatures
may cause deformation of the devices and pose risk of fire.
Do not use the devices near an open flame. Sheets ejected from the printer (onto the top
of the paper cassette) may
fal! into the flame, resulting in fire.
Do not use the devices close to TV sets or
AM radios. Devices' operation may adversely
affect TV and radio reception.

Proper Usage and Handling
•Usage Location
Do not use near strong magnets or near devices that produce strong electromagnetic
fields. Electromagnetic radiation from devices such
as TVs and game machines, and strong
magnetic fields from devices such
as speakers and large motors, may cause distortion in
printed images.
Use in a well-ventilated~ level area.
Leave about 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the devices and 10 cm
(4 in.) of clearance on both sides. Be sure to leave clearance around the paper-handling
slot (at the rear) so that paper has sufficient room to jut out from the slot during printing.
Place the printer so that the air vents on the back will not be blocked.
If the air vents blocked, the printer interior could heat up, causing the printer to temporarily
stop.
•Handling Precautions
Please avoid turning the printer's power on and off needlessly as the printer
initialization consumes ink: There may not
be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the
set.
Unplug the printer when you are not using it. But please note that you should plug in and
run the printer at least once every six months
to ensure that it remains functional.
Before transporting the printer, remove the paper and ink cassettes and close the
paper cassette cover and the ink cassette cover.
If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer,
print quality may deteriorate.
Pack the printer into an appropriate case for transport. If acase is not available, wrap it
with cloth or other protective material to protect against scratches.
Never use volatile compounds or insecticides on the printer, and do not allow rubber
or vinyl material to remain
in prolonged contact with the printer. These materials may
cause deformation of the printer's casing.
oOverheating
If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. This does notmean that the
printer has malfunctioned. The printer will resume normal printing as soon
as it cools
down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur
in the following cases:
•When printing continuously.
•If the room is unusually warm.
•If the air vents on the back
of the printer are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.
•

o To Prevent Damage from Condensation
Condensation may form in the printer if you suddenly move it from acold location to a
warm location.
To prevent damage that might be caused by condensation, place the printer
in asealed plastic bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room temperature before using
it. Stop using the printer immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage
the equipment. Wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
oCleaning the Printer
Never use benzene, paint thinner, or other volatile solvents to clean the printer. Volatile
solvents may cause deformation or peeling of the printer's casing.
To clean the printer, wipe it
with asoft dry cloth. If stronger cleaning
is required, wipe first with acloth moistened with a
dilute neutral solvent, then wipe again with asoft dry cloth. If you use achemical cleaning
cloth, read the instructions that come with it and observe all indicated precautions.
Keep the air vents clean and free of dust. Clean the vents as necessary. Oust that enters
the printer through the vents may land
on the ink sheet, resulting in poor print quality and
possibly leading to printer breakdown.
If the ink sheet becomes dusty, remove the ink
cassette and replace it with anew one.
•Proper Handling of Ink Cassettes
Please use only the ink cassettes specified for use by Canon.
Do not open the ink cassette cover while printing is in progress, and do not pull the
ink cassette out. These actions may damage the printer.
Do not touch or pull
on the ink sheet.
Do not handle the ink cassettes with wet or sweaty hands.
Allow ink cassettes to reach room temperature before installing and using them.
Condensation may form if you suddenly move ink cassettes from acold location to awarm
location. If there is risk of condensation, leave the cassette
in its packaging until it reaches
room temperature, and wipe away any moisture before loading
it.
If you are not planning to use the printer for aWhile, remove and store the ink cassette.

•Proper Handling of Paper Cassettes
Do not apply excessive force to the paper cassette. Force or impact on the cassette may
result
in paper jams or equipment damage.
Do not bend or deform the spring located at the rear of the middle cover of the paper
cassette.
Do not place any foreign objects
in the print output receptacle (on the top of the paper
cassette). This area is for paper only.
If you are not planning to use the printer for awhile, remove the paper cassette, close
the paper cassette's top cover and store the paper cassette. Also remove the paper
from the paper cassette and store
it horizontally.
•Proper Handling of Paper
Please use only the paper types specified for use by Canon.
Paper must be printed on the glossy side (the side without any printed markings).
Always load paper into the cassette with the glossy side up. Loading the paper the wrong way
may result in poor print quality, and
in some cases may cause damage to the printer.
Do not tear or bend the paper's perforated edges before printing. Tearing the paper's
perforated edges will
cause the ink sheet to wind up automatically and waste one print's
worth of ink. jf this happens, there will not be enough ink left to print all the paper sheets
included
in the kit.
Do not use label sheets
on which labels are partially peeled off.
Do not touch the print side of the paper with your fingers. Always hold the paper along
the edges (outside the perforated border).
•
WRONG RIGHT
Be sure that hands are dry before touching the paper. Sharp objects will scratch the paper
surface. Keep the paper surface free from fingerprints, dust, water droplets, etc.
Do not write on the paper before printing. Writing on paper before printing
on it may result
in malfunction.
