To use this machine safely and in a trouble-free
way, carefully read the following precautions
and install the machine in an appropriate
location.
WARNING

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
•
A location exposed to open fl ames
•
Near alcohol, paint thinners or other
fl ammable substances
Other warnings
•
Do not connect unapproved cables to this
machine. Doing so may result in a fi re or
electrical shock.
•
Do not place necklaces and other metal
objects or containers fi lled with liquid on the
machine. If foreign substances come in contact
with electrical parts inside the machine, it may
result in a fi re 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.
Do not install in the following locations
The machine may drop or fall, resulting in injury.
•
An unstable location
•
A location exposed to vibrations
CAUTION
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.
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.
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.
Connecting the Telephone Line (Only for
Products with a Fax Function)
This machine conforms to a analog telephone line
standard. The machine can be connected to the public
switched telephone network (PSTN) only. If you connect
the machine to a digital telephone line or a dedicated
telephone line, it might impede proper operation of the
machine and could be the cause of damage. Make sure
to confi rm a type of telephone line before connecting
the machine. Contact your optical fi ber line or IP
telephone line service providers if you want to connect
the machine to those telephone lines.
When using wireless LAN (only for products
with a wireless LAN function)
•
Install the machine at a distance of 50 meters
or less from the wireless LAN router.
•
As far as possible, install in a location where
communication is not blocked by intervening
objects. The signal may be degraded when
passing through walls or fl oors.
•
Keep the machine as far as possible from
digital cordless phones, microwave ovens, or
other equipment that emits radio waves.
•
Do not use near medical equipment. Radio
waves emitted from this machine may
interfere with medical equipment, which may
result in malfunctions and accidents.
Power Supply
WARNING
•
Use only a power supply that meets the
specifi ed voltage requirements. Failure to do
so may result in a fi re or electrical shock.
•
Do not use power cords other than the one
provided, as this may result in a fi re 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 fi re 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 fi re or electrical shock.
•
Do not wrap the power cord or tie it in a knot,
as this may result in a fi re or electrical shock.
•
Insert the power plug completely into the AC
power outlet. Failure to do so may result in a
fi re 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 fi re, 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 fi re or electrical shock.
•
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 fi re. Avoid the following situations:
– Connecting and disconnecting the power
cord frequently.
– Tripping over the power cord.
– The power cord is bent near the connection
part, and continuous stress is being applied to
the power outlet or the connection part.
– Applying excessive force on the power plug.
CAUTION
Install this machine near the power outlet and
leave suffi
cient space around the power plug so
that it can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
IMPORTANT
When connecting power
•
Do not connect the power cord to an uninterruptible
power source. Doing so may result in malfunction of
or damage to the machine at power failure.
•
If you plug this machine into an AC power
outlet with multiple sockets, do not use the
remaining sockets to connect other devices.
•
Do not connect the power cord to the
auxiliary AC power outlet on a computer.
Other precautions
Electrical noise may cause this machine to
malfunction or lose data.
Handling
WARNING
•
Immediately unplug the power plug from the AC
power outlet and contact an authorized Canon
dealer if the machine makes an unusual noise, emits
an unusual smell, or emits smoke or excessive heat.
Continued use may result in a fi re or electrical shock.
