 Practical  Features 
Auto Gradation Adjustment for Various 
Paper Types
The Auto Adjust Gradation function adjusts the gradation, density, 
and colour tone of images, and only requires you to scan the test 
page. This function can be used for various weights of paper so that 
a high quality print result can be obtained in different paper types.
 "Adjustment for Image Quality and Finishing (Calibration)" in the e-Manual
Achieve High Quality Colour Reproduction 
with Auto Colour Tone Correction
Compared to the Auto Adjust Gradation function, which adjusts 
CMYK, the Auto Correct Colour Tone function adjusts mixed colours 
that are expressed with multiple toner. By using these functions 
together, you can perform the precise colour adjustment.
 "Adjustment for Image Quality and Finishing (Calibration)" in the e-Manual
Optimum Print Result for Each Paper Type
Paper information, which includes the basis weight, finish, fixing, and 
curl correction level, can be registered as the paper characteristics. 
As the detailed information can be specified for each different paper 
type, you can obtain the fine print result with considering the paper 
characteristics. This function is also effective for improving paper 
conveyance and print quality. 
 "Paper Type Management" in the e-Manual
Curl Correction for Stable Paper Conveyance
The machine constantly corrects the paper curl which occurs due 
to the pressure applied when toner is fixed. Moreover, by correcting 
the paper curl during outputting, the machine reduces the risk of 
a paper jam, and achieves the stable paper conveyance. The curl 
correction can be specified for each paper type you want to use.

							Easy Operation for Adjusting Image Position
You can adjust the image positions easily with this machine. All you 
need is measuring marks on the test page and then entering the 
measured values on the touch panel display. After that, the machine 
will automatically adjust the image positions. You can make the 
complicated adjustment easily by entering values for each edge of 
front and back sides on a single screen.
 "Paper Type Management" in the e-Manual
Quick Access to Frequently Used Settings
Different settings are required, depending on the printing purpose 
or paper types, but accessing setting items located in various menus 
every time is a quite complicated operation. In this case, register 
frequently used settings in "Settings/Registration Shortcut" button. 
You can directly access to the setting screen with this button and 
save the effort to search necessary setting items.
 "Settings/Registration" in the e-Manual
Alternative Settings for Your Needs, 
"Productivity" or "Quality"
You can set a priority to either print productivity or image quality. For 
instance, select "Productivity Priority" when printing a large number 
of documents to achieve speedy printing. On the other hands, select 
"Quality Priority" when printing documents which contain many 
pictures to obtain precisely printed images. This function can be set 
for each paper type to suit your various needs for printing.

▀ Power  Supply 
  This machine has two power cords. Connect each plug of the machine to the independent outlet that is 220 to 240 V 
AC 13 A or greater.  
 WARNING 
• 
 Do not use power supplies with voltages other than 
those specified herein, as this may result in a fire or 
electrical shock. 
•   Do not use power cords other than the provided 
power cord, 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 damage, modify, pull on, or excessively bend 
the power cord. Also do not place heavy objects 
on the power cord, as this could cause electrical 
damage and result in a fire or electrical shock.  • 
 Do not connect or disconnect the power plug with 
wet hands, as this may result in electrical shock. 
•   Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug 
power strip, or do not use extension cords, as this 
may cause a fire or electrical shock. 
•   Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as 
this may result in a fire or electrical shock. 
•   Insert the power plug completely into the power 
outlet, as failure to do so may result in a fire or 
electrical shock. 
•   When there is thunder and lightning, disconnect the 
power plug from the power outlet, as failure to do so 
may result in a fire, malfunction, or electrical shock. 
 CAUTION 
•  Do not connect any unauthorized optional products

Important Safety Instructions
 
▀ Handling 
 WARNING 
• 
 If the machine makes strange noises, or gives off 
smoke, heat, or strange smells, immediately turn 
OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the 
power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact 
your local authorized Canon dealer. Continued use of 
the machine in this condition may result in a fire or 
electrical shock. 
•   Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the 
machine. There are high-temperature and high-
voltage components inside the machine, and 
contact with those components may result in a fire 
or electrical shock. 
•   If you are using a cardiac pacemaker and feel 
abnormalities, please move away from the product 
immediately. This product emits low level magnetic 
flux.  • 
 Do not use highly flammable sprays near the 
machine. If gas from these sprays comes into contact 
with the electrical components inside the machine, 
it may result in a fire or electrical shock. 
•   When moving the machine, always turn OFF the 
main power switch, disconnect the power plug from 
the power outlet, and then unplug the interface 
cable. Otherwise, the power cord or interface cable 
may be damaged, resulting in a fire or electrical 
shock. 
 CAUTION 
•  Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they 
may fall or tip over, resulting in personal injury. 
•   For your safety, disconnect the power cord when the 
machine will not be used for an extended period of 
time. 
•   When opening and closing covers, be careful not to 
get your hands caught, as this may result in personal 
injury. 
•   Keep your hands, hair, clothing, etc. away from 
the rollers in the output area, as your hand, hair, or 
clothing may get caught in the rollers which may 
result in personal injury. 
•   In order to prevent burns, do not touch the fixing 
transport unit and its surroundings and output area 
when using the machine, as these areas are very hot 
during use. Also, be careful when handling printed 
paper as it may be hot especially during continuous 
printing. 
•   Paper that has just been output from the machine 
may be hot. Be careful when removing or aligning 
paper from the output tray. Touching paper right after 
it is output may result in low-temperature burns. 
•  Do not press down the feeder forcefully when using 
the platen glass to make copies of thick books. 
Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in 
personal injury. 
•   Be careful not to drop heavy object, such as a 
dictionary, on the platen glass. Doing so may 
damage the platen glass and result in personal injury. 
•   There are high-voltage components inside the 
machine. Do not touch the labeled component and 
its surroundings when removing jammed paper or 
inspecting the inside of the machine, as doing so 
may result in an electrical shock. 
•   Do not touch the finisher and its trays while the 
machine is operating, when the optional finisher 
is attached to the machine. Do not place your 
hands near the rollers of the tray where stapling is 
performed. Doing so may result in personal injury.

 Laser  beam 
 The laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since 
radiation emitted inside the produc

t is completely 
confined within protective housings and external 
covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the 
machine during any phase of user operation. Read the 
following remarks and instructions for safety. 
•   Never open covers other than those instructed in the 
manuals for this machine. 
•   Do not remove the caution label which is attached 
to the machine.    
 Controlling, adjusting, or operating the machine in 
ways not mentioned in the manuals for this machine 
may cause dangerous radiation to escape from the 
machine. If the laser beam escapes from the machine, 
exposure may cause serious damage to your eyes. 
  
 IMPORTANT 
• 
 Follow the instructions in the caution label attached 
to the machine. 
•   Do not shake the machine or do not apply shock to 
the machine. 
•   Do not forcibly open and close covers and other 
parts of the machine. Doing so may result in damage 
to the machine. 
•   During printing, do not turn OFF the main power, 
open and close covers, or load and remove paper, in 
order to prevent a paper jam. 
•   Do not use this product for uses other than as a 
colour digital multitasking machine.   Transporting the machine 
 If you intend to move the machine over a long 
distance, contac
