							xxi
•The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer 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.
•When removing paper 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 with 
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 getting into 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 cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If 
these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

Features and Benefits
Features and Benefits
This section describes the major features.
High Performance Printing System CAPT
LBP3300 is equipped with the latest high performance printing system, CAPT (Canon 
Advanced Printing Technology), that is compatible with Windows operating systems. As 
this system allows data to be batch processed by a computer instead of a printer, it 
enables high-speed printing, making full use of the features of the computer. Also, a large 
amount of data can be processed without expanding the printer memory.
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Installed as Standard
LBP3300 achieves high-speed transmission by supporting Hi-Speed I/F USB 2.0 that 
offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.
High Speed Printing and Super High Quality Printing
Delivers a high printing speed of 21 pages per minute. Relieves the stress of waiting for a 
print job to finish. This printer is fitted with a 600 dpi laser printer engine. A stunningly high 
resolution of 2400 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi is made possible through the new AIR 
(Automatic Image Refinement) which is unique to Canon. Furthermore, because the 
grayscale makes use of a dithering pattern, photographs and graphics can be printed with 
beautifully subtle reproduction.
Duplex Unit Installed as Standard
LBP3300 is supplied with the duplex unit. Therefore, you can automatically perform 2-
sided printing with paper (A4, Legal, and Letter size) loaded in the manual feed slot or 
paper cassette. By doing so, you can save paper and make the file space more efficient.
Simple Maintenance and Printer Status Window
The toner cartridge made for this printer (Canon Genuine Cartridge) is designed as a 
single part containing both toner and the light sensitive drum, so that it can be easily 
replaced.
The Printer Status Window that is displayed during printing makes it easy to tell exactly 
what the printer is doing through the use of graphical and audio cues, improving the 
overall usability of the printer.
Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup
By adopting On-demand Fixing System, LBP3300 achieves low power consumption and 
quick startup. This Canons original technology enables instantaneous heating of the 
fusing heater only before printing, saving warm-up time. So, LBP3300 is always in 
standby status and ready to print. Also, thanks to its power-saving design, the fixing units 
power consumption is very low when idle.

Features and Benefits
Supporting Various Types of Media
Supports various types of media including plain paper, heavy paper, envelopes (Envelope 
DL, Envelope COM10, Envelope C5, and Envelope Monarch), Index Card, labels, and 
transparencies. Although LBP3300 is designed for printing media of A4 size or smaller, 
you can print A3 and B4 size data on A4 size paper by using the function to reduce the 
standard paper sizes.
You can also print irregular, custom size paper.
Network-capable Printer
LBP3300 can be used as an Ethernet network printer by installing the optional network 
board. The network board enables the operation of the printer using a built-in web browser 
Remote UI allowing you to specify settings and manage the printer from a computer on 
the network.
NOTE
For details on the operating systems that support the optional network board and 
procedure for setting the board, see Network Guide.
