General Handling Precautions
WARNING• Do not take apart or modify the scanner and supplies. Fire or electrical shock may result from 
improper handling of its components.
• If you hear unusual noises, see smoke, feel excessive heat or smell anything unusual, immediately 
unplug the power cord and contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk. Continued 
use of the scanner may result in fires or electrical shock.
• Do not use flammable sprays near the scanner. Also do not enter metallic objects or spill water, 
liquids, or flammable materials on the scanner. If they enter and contact the inner electrical parts, fire 
or electrical shock may result.
• When cleaning the scanner, always unplug the power cord. Wipe with a soft dry cloth. When it is still 
dirty, use a cloth damped with water and wrung well, and then wipe off moisture with a soft dry cloth. 
Do not use flammable liquids such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If a flammable liquid enters the 
inner electrical parts or the cables are damaged by plugging/unplugging, fire or electrical shock may 
result.
If anything enters the scanner, immediately unplug the power cord. Then contact your retailer or Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
CAUTION• Do not release the document cover until it completely opens/closes. If the document cover falls, it 
may lead to pinch your hands or damage the scanner and result in injury.
• Do not place items that weigh 4.4 lbs. (2.0 kg) or more on the document glass. Also, do not press
