Handling
Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as appliances such as an air conditioner, television,
or copier. These devices generate electrical noise which may interfere with your machine’s
operation.
Whenever you turn OFF the power and unplug the machine, wait at least five seconds before you
plug it in again.
Use only the power cord that came with the machine. Using a different power cord may cause
electric leakage or damage to the machine.
Turn OFF the power and unplug the machine in the following conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has spilled into the machine.
• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in the guides
included with your machine.
• If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions provided in
Chapter 13, “Troubleshooting.”
• If the machine has been dropped or damaged.
• If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for servicing.
Turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord if the machine will not be used for a long
period such as during holidays.
Close the document cover gently to avoid catching your hand.
Failing to do so may result in personal injury.
Do not press down hard on the document cover when using
the platen glass to scan thick books. This may damage the
platen glass and document cover and/or result in personal
injury.
Do not place the following objects on top of the machine. If such objects come into contact with
internal electrical components, the machine may short-circuit, resulting in fire or electrical shock.
– Metal objects such as jewelry and watches
– Containers of water or other liquids such as glasses, vases, or pot plants
If water does spill inside the machine, turn OFF the power immediately by pressing the
[ON/OFF] key, and disconnect the power cord. Then, contact the Canon Customer Care Center at
757-413-2848.
Do not touch the high-voltage electrical parts as this may result in electrical shock.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the machine as these may topple over and result in injury.
