WARNING
• Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the

power cord, or pull 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 this may cause the power
cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands, as this may result in
electrical shock.
• Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug 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 plug completely into the power outlet, as failure to do so may result
in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
• 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 220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz and over, 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.

xviii

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 disconnecting 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 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 unusual noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or unusual smells,
immediately turn OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from
the power outlet. Then contact your local authorized Canon dealer. 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, it 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.
• 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, this 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 your local authorized
Canon dealer.

xix

CAUTION
• Do not place heavy (2 kg or more) objects on the

machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.
• Close the feeder/platen cover gently to avoid
catching your hands, as this may result in
personal injury.
• Do not press down hard on the feeder/platen
cover when using the platen glass to make copies
of a thick book. Doing so may damage the platen
glass and result in personal injury.
• Do not touch the finisher while the machine is
printing, as this may result in personal injury.
• Do not place your hand in the part of the tray where stapling is performed when a
finisher is attached, as this may result in personal injury.

• 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.
• Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.
• If the laser beam escapes from the machine, exposure may cause serious damage to
your eyes.
• Do not remove the caution label attached to the laser scanner unit inside the machine
and next to the toner cartridge behind the front cover.

• 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.

xxi

Maintenance and Inspection
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, 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, this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Some internal parts of the machine are 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 toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the
toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.

xxii

CAUTION
• The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the

machine may become hot during use. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the
inside of the machine, 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 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 them 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 machine, 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 originals or paper, take care not to cut your
hands on the edges of the originals or paper.

Installation Location and Handling
This section describes precautions for installation location and handling, we
recommend that you read this section prior to using this machine.

Before You Start Using This Machine

1

Installation Precautions
Avoid Installing the Machine in the Following Locations
■ Avoid locations subject to temperature and humidity extremes, whether
low or high.
For example, avoid installing the machine near water faucets, hot water heaters,
humidifiers, air conditioners, heaters or stoves.

1-2

Installation Location and Handling

■ Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight.
If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the machine.

■ Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
This machine generates a slight amount of ozone during normal use. Although sensitivity
to ozone may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone may be more noticeable during
extended use or long production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms. It is
recommended that the room be appropriately ventilated, sufficient to maintain a
comfortable working environment, in areas of machine operation.

Installation Location and Handling

1-3

Before You Start Using This Machine

1

■ Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.
■ Avoid locations where ammonia gas is emitted.

Before You Start Using This Machine

1

■ Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or
paint thinner.
■ Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.
For example, avoid installing the machine on unstable floors or stands.

1-4

Installation Location and Handling

■ Avoid exposing the machine to rapid changes in temperature.
If the room in which the machine is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the machine. This may result in a noticeable degradation
in the quality of the copied image, the inability to properly scan an original, or the copies
having no printed image at all.

■ Avoid installing the machine near computers or other precision electronic
equipment.
Electrical interference and vibrations generated by the machine during printing can
adversely affect the operation of such equipment.

■ Avoid installing the machine near televisions, radios, or similar electronic
equipment.
The machine might interfere with sound and picture signal reception. Insert the power
plug into a dedicated power outlet, and maintain as much space as possible between the
machine and other electronic equipment.

Installation Location and Handling

Select a Safe Power Supply
■ Plug the machine into a standard 220-240 V AC, three-wire grounded outlet.
■ Make sure that the power supply for the machine is safe, and has a steady
voltage.

1
Before You Start Using This Machine

■ Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to
which the machine is connected.
■ Do not connect the power cord to a multi-plug power strip, as this may
cause a fire or electrical shock.
■ The power cord may become damaged if it is often stepped on or if heavy
objects are placed on it. Continued use of a damaged power cord can lead
to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.

1-6

IMPORTANT
• If the paper is curled, curl it down before placing it in the paper drawer.
• Make sure that the height of the paper stack does not exceed
(limit mark) and
the corners are below the paper size guide clips.
• Be sure to set the paper-size detecting lever correctly. If the lever is set to the
wrong position, paper jams or dirty prints may occur, or the inside of the machine
may get dirty.
NOTE
• Each paper drawer holds about 250 sheets of paper (80 g/m2).
• For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has
logos or patterns already printed on it), see “Relationship between Original
Orientation and Preprinted Paper Output Chart,” in the Reference Guide.
• If the output paper is curled severely, reloading the paper by turning it over may
sometimes relieve a curl of paper.

use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the
machine, do not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as this may result in
burns or electrical shock.
• When removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands on
the edges of the original or paper.
• 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.
• When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, take care
not to allow the toner on the jammed paper 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 machine, 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.
