Handling and Maintenance
– Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.
– Do not subject the machine to strong physical shocks or vibrations.
– Always unplug the machine before moving or cleaning it.
– To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the left  cover, or add or remove paper in the machine while printing.
– Always grip the handle on the sides of the machine when you lift the 
machine. Never lift the machine by any of its trays or attachments.
– Do not insert any objects into the slots or openings on the machine  since they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. 
This could result in fire or electric shock.
– Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to  fall into the machine. If something does fall into it, unplug the 
machine immediately and contact your local authorized Canon 
dealer.
– To avoid spillage in or around the machine, do not eat or drink near 
it. If you spill liquid or if any substance falls into it, unplug the power 
cord immediately and contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
– Keep the machine clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the 
machine from operating properly.
– Toner cartridge for this machine will be available for at least seven  (7) years (or any such longer period as required by applicable laws) 
after production of this machine model has been discontinued.
– Unplug the machine from the wall outlet and contact your local  authorized Canon dealer in any of the following cases:
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid has spilled into the machine.
– If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed 
the instructions in this guide. Adjust only those controls that are 
covered by the instructions in this guide. Improper adjustment of 
other controls may result in damage and may require extensive 
work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal 
operation.
– If the machine has been dropped.
– If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance,  indicating a need for servicing.
– Do not place your hands, hair, clothing, etc., near the exit and  feed rollers. Even if the machine is not in operation, your hands, 
hair, or clothing may get caught in the rollers, which may result in 
personal injury or damage if the machine suddenly starts printing.
– Be careful when removing printed paper from paper delivery tray  or when aligning it, because it may be hot and result in burn injury. Location
– Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is 
strong enough to support its weight.
– Place the machine in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place.
– Make sure the area is free from dust.
– Make sure the location is not exposed to high temperature or  humidity.
– Keep the machine away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If  you have to place it near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
– Do not use the machine near water. Make sure that no wet or humid 
objects come into contact with the machine.
– Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
– Do not install the machine near devices that contain magnets or  generate magnetic fields, such as speakers.
– If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone line outlet  for easy connection of the telephone line cord, and to avoid the 
expense of installing a new outlet.
– Place the machine near a standard 220–240 V AC (50/60 Hz) power  outlet.
– To ensure reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from  overheating (which can cause it to operate abnormally and create a 
fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent. Never block or cover any 
openings on the machine by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, or other 
similar surface. Do not place the machine in a cupboard or built-in 
installation, or near a radiator or other heat source unless proper 
ventilation is provided. Leave enough space around all sides of the 
machine, and make sure that the clearance between the machine’s 
ventilation slot and wall or other equipment is more than 5 cm.
– Do not stack boxes or furniture around the power outlet. Keep the  area free so you can reach the outlet quickly. If you notice anything 
unusual (smoke, strange odors, noises) around the machine, unplug 
the power cord immediately. Contact your local authorized Canon 
dealer.
– Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not place 
the machine where the cord will be walked on. Make sure the cord is 
not knotted or kinked.

WARNING
Except as specifically described in the manuals of the 
machine, do not attempt to service the machine yourself. 
Never attempt to disassemble the machine: opening and 
removing its interior covers will expose you to dangerous 
voltages and other risks. For all service, contact your local 
authorized Canon dealer.
