Installation Location and Handling
This section describes precautions for installation location and handling. We 
recommend that you read this section prior to using this machine.
Installation Precautions
Avoid Installing the Machine in the Following Locations
■Avoid locations subject to temperature 
and humidity extremes, whether low or 
high.
For example, avoid installing the machine near 
water faucets, hot water heaters, humidifiers, air 
conditioners, heaters or stoves.
■Avoid installing the machine in direct 
sunlight.
If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the 
machine. Be sure that curtains do not block the 
machine’s ventilation slots or louvers, or interfere 
with the electrical cord or power supply.

■Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
This machine generates a slight amount of ozone 
during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone 
may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone may 
be more noticeable during extended use or long 
production runs, especially in poorly ventilated 
rooms. It is recommended that the room be 
appropriately ventilated, sufficient to maintain a 
comfortable working environment, in areas of 
machine operation.
■Avoid locations where ammonia gas is 
emitted.
■Avoid locations that are subject to 
vibration.
For example, avoid installing the machine on 
unstable floors or stands.
■Avoid exposing the machine to rapid 
changes in temperature.
If the room in which the machine is installed is cold 
but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) 
may form inside the machine. This may result in a 
noticeable degradation in the quality of the copied 
image, the inability to properly scan an original, or 
the copies having no printed image at all.

Select a Safe Power Supply
■Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.
■Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or 
paint thinner.
■Avoid installing the machine near computers or other precision electronic 
equipment.
Electrical interference and vibrations generated by the machine during printing can 
adversely affect the operation of such equipment.
■Avoid installing the machine near televisions, radios, or similar electronic 
equipment.
The machine may interfere with sound and picture signal reception. Insert the power plug 
into a dedicated power outlet, and maintain as much space as possible between the 
machine and other electronic equipment.
■Plug the machine into a standard 220 - 240 V AC, three-wire grounded 
outlet.
■Make sure that the power supply for the machine is safe, and has a steady 
voltage.
■Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to 
which the machine is connected.
■Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may 
cause a fire or electrical shock.
■The power cord may become damaged if it 
is often stepped on or if heavy objects are 
placed on it. Continued use of a damaged 
power cord can lead to an accident, such 
as a fire or electrical shock.

Moving the Machine
■If you intend to move the machine, even to a location on the same floor of 
your building, contact your local authorized Canon dealer beforehand.
■The machine is heavy, and requires two or more people to lift it. Therefore, 
do not attempt to move it by yourself. Doing so, may result in personal 
injury.
■When carrying the machine, be sure to hold the handles, as indicated 
below. Failure to do so, may cause the machine to be dropped, and result 
in personal injury.
Pull out and grasp these handles.
Grasp these 
handles.

Handling Precautions
■Do not attempt to disassemble or modify 
the machine.
■Be careful not to spill liquids or drop any 
foreign objects, such as paper clips or 
staples inside the machine. If a foreign 
object comes into contact with electrical 
parts inside the machine, it may cause a 
short circuit and result in a fire or 
electrical shock.
■If there is smoke or unusual noise, 
immediately turn the main power 
switch OFF, disconnect the power cord 
from the power outlet, and then call your 
local authorized Canon dealer. Using the 
machine in this state may cause a fire or 
electrical shock. Also, avoid placing 
objects around the power plug so that the 
machine can be disconnected whenever 
necessary.
■Do not turn the main power switch OFF or open the front covers while the 
machine is in operation. This may result in paper jams.
■Some parts inside the machine are subject to high-voltages and 
temperatures. Take adequate precautions when inspecting the inside of 
the machine. Do not carry out any inspections not described in this 
manual.

■Do not use flammable sprays, such as 
spray glue near the machine. There is a 
danger of ignition.
■For safety reasons, turn OFF the control 
panel power switch of the machine when 
it will not be used for a long period of 
time, such as overnight. As an added 
safety measure, turn OFF the main power 
switch, and disconnect the power cord 
when the machine will not be used for an 
extended period of time, such as during 
consecutive holidays.
■This machine generates a slight amount of ozone during normal use. 
Although sensitivity to ozone may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone 
may be more noticeable during extended use or long production runs, 
especially in poorly ventilated rooms. It is recommended that the room be 
appropriately ventilated, sufficient to maintain a comfortable working 
environment, in areas of machine operation.
