electrical shock.
•Insert the power plug completely into the power outlet, as failure to do so may result 
in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result in a 
fire or electrical shock.
•As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in 
a fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated 
for voltages of 220 - 240 V AC and over, untie the cord binding, and insert the power 
plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between 
the power cord and the extension cord.
 
						

							xxii
CAUTION

and high-voltage components inside the machine which may result in a fire or 
electrical shock.
•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 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.
•To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn OFF the 
main power switch, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine. 
Otherwise, the power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in a fire or 
electrical shock.
•Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do 
not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, 
etc.) inside the machine. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area 
inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are 
dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn OFF the main power switch, 
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact your local 
authorized Canon dealer.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, and then 
disconnect the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or 
electrical shock.
•Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area 
around the base of the power plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth 
to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long 
period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the 
power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
•Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with 
water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. 
Check detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into 
contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical 
shock.
•There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. When 
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside the machine, do not allow 
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside the machine, as this 
may result in burns or electrical shock.
•Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the 
toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
 
						

							xxvi
CAUTION
•The fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings inside the machine may 
become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside 
of the machine, do not touch the fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings, 
as doing so may result in burns.
•When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to allow 
the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your 
hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. 
Washing them with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove 
the toner stains.
•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the 
jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting 
into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them 
immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
•When loading paper or removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your 
hands on the edges of the originals or paper.
•When removing a used toner cartridge, remove the cartridge carefully to prevent the 
toner from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your 
eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a 
physician.
•Do not dismantle the toner cartridge, as doing so may cause the toner to fly out and 
enter your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them 
immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
•Handle the toner cartridge carefully. Avoid contact with any toner that is released 
from the cartridge. If toner makes contact with your skin, immediately wash the area 
with soap and cold water. If your skin still feels irritated after washing the area 
thoroughly, or if you ingest the toner, seek immediate medical treatment.

Consumables
WARNING
•Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the 
toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•Do not store toner cartridges or paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may 
cause the toner or paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•When discarding used toner cartridges, put the cartridges into a bag to prevent the 
toner remaining inside the cartridges from scattering, and then dispose of them in a 
location away from open flames.
CAUTION
•Keep toner and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items 
are ingested, consult a physician immediately.
•Do not dismantle the toner cartridge, as dismantling it may cause toner dust to 
scatter on your skin or clothes. If toner comes in contact with your clothes, brush it 
off immediately. Do not wash the clothes with hot water, as this may cause the toner 
to set in the fabric. If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with 
cold water and seek immediate medical treatment.
•Handle the toner cartridge carefully. Avoid contact with any toner that is released 
from the cartridge. If toner makes contact with your skin, immediately wash the area
