carefully read the following precautions and
install the machine in an appropriate location.
WARNING
Do not install in a location that may result in a
fi re or electrical shock
•
A location where the ventilation slots are
blocked (too close to walls, beds, sofas, rugs,
or similar objects)
•
A damp or dusty location
•
A location exposed to direct sunlight or
outdoors
•
A location subject to high temperatures

Other warnings
•
Do not connect unapproved cables to this
machine. Doing so may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
•
Do not place necklaces and other metal
objects or containers filled with liquid on the
machine. If foreign substances come in
contact with electrical parts inside the
machine, it may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
•
If any foreign substance falls into this machine,
unplug the power plug from the AC power
outlet and contact your local authorized Canon
dealer.
CAUTION
Do not install in the following locations
The machine may drop or fall, resulting in injury.
•
An unstable location
•
A location exposed to vibrations
Other cautions
•
Do not connect any unauthorized optional
products to the outlet for connecting
optional products, as this could result in a fire
or smoke.
•
When disconnecting the power cord, wait at
least 5 seconds before connecting the power
cord again.
•
Excessive voltage drop may cause a
malfunction or loss of data in the machine
and computers.
Leveling feet (only for products with leveling
feet)
Do not remove the machine's leveling feet after
the machine has been installed, as this may
cause the machine to fall or tip over, resulting in
personal injury.
IMPORTANT
Do not install in the following locations
Doing so may result in damage to the
machine.
•
A location subject to temperature and
humidity extremes, whether low or high
•
A location subject to dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity
•
A location near equipment that generates
magnetic or electromagnetic waves
•
A laboratory or location where chemical
reactions occur
•
A location exposed to corrosive or toxic gases
•
A location that may warp from the weight of
the machine or where the machine is liable to
sink (a carpet, etc.)
Avoid poorly ventilated locations
This machine generates a slight amount of
ozone and other emissions during normal use.
These emissions are not harmful to health.
However, they may be noticeable during
extended use or long production runs in poorly
ventilated rooms. To maintain a comfortable
working environment, it is recommended that
the room where the machine operates be
appropriately ventilated. Also avoid locations
where people would be exposed to emissions
from the machine.
Do not install in a location where
condensation occurs
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside
the machine when the room where the
machine is installed is heated rapidly, and when
the machine is moved from a cool or dry
location to a hot or humid location. Using the
machine under these conditions may result in
paper jams, poor print quality, or damage to the
machine. Let the machine adjust to the ambient
temperature and humidity for at least 2 hours
before use.
Avoid installing the machine near computers
or other precision electronic equipment.
Electrical interference and vibrations generated
by the machine while 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.
In altitudes of above sea level 3,000 m or
higher
Machines with a hard disk may not operate
properly when used at high altitudes of about
3,000 meters above sea level, or higher.
If the operating noise concerns you
Depending on the use environment and
operating mode, if the operating noise is of
concern, it is recommended that the machine
be installed in a place other than the office.
Moving the Machine
If you intend to move the machine, even to a
location on the same floor of your building,
contact your local authorized Canon dealer
beforehand. Do not attempt to move the
machine yourself.
Power Supply
WARNING
•
Use only a power supply that meets the
specified voltage requirements. Failure to do
so may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•
The machine must be connected to a
socket-outlet with grounding connection by
the provided power cord.
•
Do not use power cords other than the one
provided, as this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
•
The provided power cord is intended for use
with this machine. Do not connect the power
cord to other devices.
•
Do not modify, pull, forcibly bend, or perform
any other act that may damage the power
cord. Do not place heavy objects on the
power cord. Damaging the power cord may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not plug in or unplug the power plug
with wet hands, as this may result in an
electrical shock.
•
Do not use extension cords or multi-plug
power strips with the machine. Doing so may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not wrap the power cord or tie it in a knot,
as this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•
Insert the power plug completely into the AC
power outlet. Failure to do so may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
•
Remove the power plug completely from the
AC power outlet during a thunder storm.
Failure to do so may result in a fire, electrical
shock, or damage to the machine.
•
Make sure that the power supply for the
machine is safe, and has a steady voltage.
•
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.
Avoid the following situations:
If excessive stress is applied to the connection
part of the power cord, it may damage the
power cord or the wires inside the machine
may disconnect. This could result in a fire.
•
Connecting and disconnecting the power
cord frequently.
