Safety Precautions
Printer Location
Do not place the printer close to ammable solvents such as
alcohol or thinners. If ammable solvents come in contact with
electrical components inside the printer, such substances could
cause a re or electric shock.
Do not use ammable sprays near the printer. Gases in the spray
could cause a re or electric shock if they come in contact with
electrical components inside the printer.
Do not install the printer in a location that is unstable or subject to
excessive vibration. The printer could tip over or fall and cause
injury.
Do not install the printer in locations that are very humid or dusty,
in direct sunlight, or close to a heating appliance or replace. To
avoid the risk of res or electric shocks, install the printer in a
location with an ambient temperature range of 41 to 95°F
(5 to 35°C) and humidity of 10 to 90% (condensation free).
16Introduction
Safety Precautions
Do not place the printer on a thick rug or carpet. Fibers or dust
entering the printer could cause a re.
Keep the power outlet for the printer free of all obstacles so you
can unplug the power cord at any time. Such obstacles could
prevent you from unplugging the printer when a printer fault occurs
and cause a re or electric shock.
When you are carrying the printer, always use both hands and hold
the printer by both ends. When you are moving the printer to
another location, keep it stable so that you do not drop it and cause
injury.
17Introduction
Safety Precautions
Power Supply and Power Cord
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Do not attempt to plug the power cord into the power outlet or
unplug the power cord when your hands are wet. This could cause
an electric shock.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet. A loose or
poorly inserted plug could cause a re or electric shock.
Do not damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the
power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. Power
leaking from a damaged power cord could cause a re or electric
shock.
18Introduction
Safety Precautions
Do not use the printer while the power cord is bundled or knotted.
This could cause a re or electric shock.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the
printer, immediately unplug the power cord. Continuing to use the
printer in these circumstances could cause a re or electric shock.
Call the Canon Customer Care Center.
Getting Help From Canon
Always grasp the plug when you unplug the power cord.
Unplugging the power cord by pulling on the cord can damage the
cord and cause a re or electric shock.
Do not use a power supply voltage other than that supplied in the

electric shock. The correct power supply voltage and frequency is
as follows:
USA/Canada: AC 120V, 60Hz
19Introduction
Safety Precautions
Cleaning and Maintaining the Printer

solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If ammable
solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the

Always unplug the printer from the power outlet when you are
cleaning the printer. If you mistakenly plug in the printer while
cleaning it, you could touch moving internal printer components
and suffer injury.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. There are no
user serviceable parts inside the printer. The printer contains high-
voltage components that could cause a re or electric shock. Never
attempt any maintenance procedure other than the ones described
in this guide.
20Introduction
Safety Precautions
Working Around the Printer
Do not put your hands or ngers in the printer while it is printing.
The printer contains moving parts that could cause injury.

Such objects could fall or spill into the printer and cause a re or
electric shock.
If any foreign object (metal or liquid) enters the printer, unplug the
power cord and call the Canon Customer Care Center. Continued
use of the printer when a foreign object has fallen into the printer
