•Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the printer. Also, do 
not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, 
etc.) inside the printer. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area 
inside the printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped 
or slipped inside the printer, immediately turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect 
the USB cable if you use it. Then, unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet, 
and contact the shop that you purchased this printer.
•When connecting or disconnecting the USB cable while the power plug is plugged 
into the AC power outlet, do not touch the metal part of the connector. This may lead 
to an electrical shock.
CAUTION
•Do not place heavy objects on the printer, as they may tip over or fall resulting in 
personal injury.
•Turn OFF the power switch for safety when the printer will not be used for a long 
period of time such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the power switch on the right of the 
printer and unplug the power plug for safety when the printer will not be used for an 
extended period of time such as during consecutive holidays.
•The laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the 
printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the 
laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user operation. Read 
the following remarks and instructions for safety.
-Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.
-Do not remove the caution label attached to the cover of the laser scanner unit.
-If the laser beam escapes from the printer, exposure may cause serious damage to 
your eyes.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•When cleaning the printer, first turn OFF the power switch, disconnect the USB cable, 
then unplug the power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or 
electrical shock.
•Clean the printer 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 printer, it may result in a fire or electrical 
shock.
•There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages. When 
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow 
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this 
may result in burns or electrical shock.
•Do not burn or throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the 
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•Unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet regularly, and clean the area around 
the base of the power plugs metal pins and the AC power outlet with a dry cloth to 
ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power plug is plugged 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.
CAUTION
•Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this manual. 
There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those controls that 
are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment could result in 
personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered 
under your Limited Warranty.
•The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer may become hot during use. 
When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not 
touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or 
electrical shock.
•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 with warm water will set the toner and make it impossible to remove the 
toner stains.
 
						

							xx
•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the printer, 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 paper, take care not to cut your hands on 
the edges of the paper.
•When removing a used toner cartridge from the toner cartridge slot, remove the 
cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and entering your eyes or 
mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold 
water and immediately consult a physician.
Consumables
WARNING
•Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause toner 
remaining inside the cartridge to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
•Do not store a toner cartridge or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as 
this may cause the toner or paper to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
Keep toner and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items 
are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

Features and Benefits
■High Performance Printing System CAPT
LBP3200 is equipped with the latest CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology) 
software supporting Windows 98/Me and Windows 2000/XP. As this system 
batch-processes the print data in a computer instead of a printer, it enables high-speed 
printing, making full use of the features of a computer. It shortens the time period over 
which the computer is freed. The information, such as out of paper, the remaining time of 
printing and the estimated time of print completion, appears on the display in real time. 
■USB Interface Equipped as Standard
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface with which the peripheral devices can be 
connected using one connector is equipped as standard.
■High-speed Printing & Extra-High-definition Image Printing
18-sheet-a-minute high-speed printing minimizes your stress of waiting for print 
completion. LBP3200 is equipped with a printer engine of 600 dpi resolution. By adopting 
Canons own new Automatic Image Refinement, an 2400 dpi-equivalent x 600 dpi 
extra-high-definition image can be obtained. The gray scale adopting the dither method 
produces delicate images such as photographs and graphics beautifully.
■Supporting Various  Networks
If you use this printer as a network printer, the status is displayed in both the server and 
client computers. You can perform job operations from both of them.
■Supporting Various Type of Materials
Various types of materials, such as plain paper, envelops (Envelope C5, Envelope 
COM10, Envelope DL, Envelope Monarch), labels, transparencies, can be used for this 
printer. Although this printer is for A4-size paper, its reduction mode can reduce a 
document of larger size, such as A3 and B4, to A4 size to print.
It can also produce a print of custom paper size.
■Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup
Canons own On-demand Fixing System achieves low power consumption and quick 
startup. This innovative technology heats the fixing heater instantaneously only at printing, 
and saves warm-up time. So, LBP3200 is always in standby status and ready to print. 
Furthermore, the average power consumption at standby status is only about 7 W.
■Compact & Quiet Design
The compact design of this printer saves space in your home or office.
Quiet during print and noiseless in standby status allow you to use this printer without 
concerning with neighbourhood even at night.
