I. FEATURES
1. The smallest and lightest color printer
This printer is the smallest and lightest printer among the Canon color laser beam printers.
2. High resolution and high speed printing
The printer features continuous tone 256-level grayscale/color output at 600 x 600 dpi with
the standard memory configuration of 32MB.
The printer is capable of printing 4 ppm (page per minute) in full color mode and 16 ppm in
mono-color mode (A4 or Letter size).
3. Intermediate transfer belt (ITB)
The printer utilizes an intermediate transfer belt, which forms the toner image by accumu-
lating the four color images required for each full-color print and transferring this image to the
paper. The ITB makes the paper path from the registration area to the fixing area straight,
enabling color printing of various paper types and reducing the likelihood of paper jams.
4. Oilless fixing unit
The printer utilizes toner which contains wax, reducing the likelihood of toner adhesion to the
fixing roller surface and allowing the fixing unit to be oilless.
5. Easy maintenance
The main parts in the printer are structured to simplify maintenance of the printer. The main
parts are as follows.
ITB unit
Toner cartridge (Bk, M, C, Y)
Drum cartridge (photosensitive drum and waist toner case)
Fixing unit (Fixing unit is not fixed with screws and can be replaced simply by shifting the
fixing levers.)
Feed roller, separation roller, and secondary transfer roller
6. Flexible paper handling
The universal cassette (250 sheets of 80g/m
2
paper) and multi-purpose tray (100 sheets of
80g/m
2
paper) allow the printer to handle various paper types such as plain paper, OHT, labels,
postcards and envelopes.
With an optional paper feeder (500 sheets of 80g/m
2
paper) installed in the printer, three way
paper pick-up and large volume printing are made possible.
7. Duplex printing
With an optional duplexing unit installed in the printer, automatic color duplex printing is
made possible.
8. Wide networking
By using the standard equipped Ethernet or optional TokenRing, the printer can support the
following network protocols.
TCP/IP
Apple Talk (Ethernet)
IPX (Novell)
SMB (Server Message Block)
1 - 1
CHAPTER 1
9. Automatic PDL switching
The printer supports Hewlett-Packard PCL 5C and Adobe PostScript 3
TM
. The printer can
automatically switch PDL between PCL and PostScript according to the received data.

CHAPTER 1
III. SAFETY INFORMATION
A. Laser Safety
The laser/scanner unit emits invisible laser beam. DO NOT disassemble the unit as the laser
beam, can possibly damage your eyes. The unit cannot be adjusted in the field. The following
label is attached to the cover of the unit:
Fig. 1-3-1
B. Toner Safety
Toner is a harmless substance composed of plastics and a pigment.
If you get toner on your skin or clothes, remove as much as possible with dry tissue and then
wash it with cold water.
If you wash in hot water, the toner gels and becomes hard to remove.
As toner easily decomposes vinyl material, do not let it come into contact with this material.
C. Ozone Safety
An infinitesimal amount of ozone gas (O
3
) is generated during corona discharge from the charg-
ing roller used in this printer. The ozone gas is emitted only when the printer is operating.
The printer meets the ozone emission standard decided by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL)
when it is shipped from the factory.
D. Power Supply Safety
Note that even if the power switch is turned OFF, the current still flows to the primary side of
the power supply unit of the printer.
Unplug the power cable before disassembling and reassembling the printer.
