Safety Precautions
Follow the warnings and precautions below to use the printer safely. Do not perform any operations or procedures other than as described in the manuals for this printer. Doing
so may result in unexpected accidents and can cause a fire or electrical shocks.
Printer location
Warning
• Do not set up the printer in any location exposed to alcohol,
thinner, or other volatile liquids. If these substances come
into contact with electrical components inside the printer,
there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Caution
• Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface.
If it falls over, this could cause personal injury.
• Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to
high humidity or large amounts of dust, or exposed to
direct sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. This could
cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the printer location in
an environment where temperature and humidity are within
the ranges of 15 °C to 30 °C (59 °F to 86 °F) and 10 to
80% RH (with no condensation).
• Never place the printer on a heavy wool or shag carpet.
The fibers may enter the printer and cause a fire.
• Keep the area around the power outlet clear of items so
that you can disconnect the power cable immediately if the
printer starts operating abnormally. In the event of a printer
malfunction, remove the power cable from the outlet as
soon as possible to prevent fire and electrical shocks.
• Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromag-
netic fields, whether equipment that generates such fields
or places where such fields occur. This could damage the
printer or cause malfunction.
Power Supply
Warning
• Never handle the power cable with wet hands. Doing so
may cause electrical shock.
• Insert the power cable securely and completely into the
power source. If the power cable is not inserted completely,
this could cause a fire or electrical shock.
2
• Do not use any power cable other than the one provided.
This could cause a fire or electrical shock. Never use the
power cable with any other electrical device.
• Never cut the power cable or attempt to modify it, and
never stretch it or bend it forcefully. Never place a heavy
object on the power cable. Damaged sections of the power
cable could cause a short circuit and may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• Never connect the power cable to a power strip or any
power source shared by other electrical devices. This could
cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Never knot the power cable or wrap it around itself. This
could cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Periodically disconnect the power cable and use a dry
cloth to wipe away dust that has collected on the plug and
the area around the power outlet. Leaving the power cable
plugged in and not cleaned for a long period, especially in
an area subject to dust, oil, and humidity, could cause the
insulation material to deteriorate and lead to a fire.
Caution
• Always grip the plug to remove the power cable from the
power outlet. Pulling on the power cable could damage the
cable and lead to a fire or electrical shock.
• Never use an extension cord. This could cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• Never use any power source other than 100–120 /
220–240 V AC. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
The printer operating conditions are described below. Use
the printer under the following conditions.
Power supply voltage: 100–120 / 220–240 V AC
Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz
In an Emergency
Warning
• If the printer emits smoke or strange odors, continuing to
use the printer may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Switch the printer off immediately and remove the power
plug from the power outlet. Contact your Canon dealer or
support center.
Cleaning the Printer
Warning
• For cleaning, use a cloth dampened in water. Never use
flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If
these substances come into contact with electrical compo-
nents inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical
shock.
Caution
• Always disconnect the power cable from the outlet before
cleaning the printer. If the printer is switched on acciden-
tally, moving parts inside the printer may cause personal
injuries.
Pacemakers
Warning
• This printer generates a low-level magnetic field. Anyone
wearing a pacemaker who experiences discomfort while
working around the printer should leave the area. Consult
a physician before continuing to work around the printer.
Moving the Printer
Caution
• Moving the printer requires at least six people, holding it
on both sides. Be careful to avoid back strain and other
injuries.
• When moving the printer, firmly grasp the carrying handles
under each side. The printer may be unsteady if you hold
it at other positions, which poses a risk of injury from
