Canon Lbp 5200 User Guide

							xviii
•When you are moving the printer, always turn the printer off, unplug the power plug, 
and remove the interface cable. If you move the printer without unplugging the 
cables, the electrical cord and interface cable may be damaged, causing a fire or 
electrical shock.
•Do not drop paper clips, staples, or any other metallic objects into the printer. Do not 
spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) onto 
the printer. If any of these items come into contact with the electrical unit inside the 
printer they may ignite or cause an electrical shock. If any of these objects fall into 
the printer, turn the printer off immediately, and disconnect the USB cable if it is 
connected. After this, pull out the power plug, and contact the store where you 
purchased this printer.
•If you are connecting or disconnecting the USB cable while the printer power plug is 
connected to a power outlet, make sure that you do not touch the metal parts of the 
connector. Doing so may cause an electrical shock.
CAUTION
•Do not put any heavy objects on top of this product. If a heavy object topples over or 
falls it can cause personal injuries.
•Take care when you are handling expansion boards. Do not touch the corners or 
sharp areas of an expansion board as this may cause personal injury.
•If you will not use the printer for a long period of time, such as at night time, turn the 
printer off for safety reasons. Furthermore, if you will not use the printer for a longer 
period of time, such as a weekend, turn the printer off and unplug the power plug for 
safety.
•Laser light can be harmful to the human body. In products that are designed for laser 
light, the laser scanning unit is sealed behind a cover, and there is virtually no risk of 
being exposed to the laser light if the product is operated normally. Be sure to 
observe the following safety precautions.
-Never open any of the covers unless directed to by 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.
-The LBP5200 has been verified as a Class 1 laser product in compliance with 
IEC60825-1:1993.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•Turn the printer off, disconnect the USB cable and remove the power plug from the 
wall when you are cleaning the printer. Failure to do so may cause fire or electrical 
shock.
•When cleaning the printing, always use a cloth dipped in plain water or water 
containing a mild soap solution and firmly wring the excess moisture out of the cloth 
before use. Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other inflammable 
substance. If an inflammable substance comes into contact with the electrical unit 
inside the printer it may ignite or cause an electrical shock.
•There is a high-voltage unit inside this product. When you are clearing paper jams or 
inspecting the interior of the printer, make sure that a necklace, bracelet, or other 
metallic object does not touch the inside of the printer. Doing so may cause burns or 
an electrical shock.
•Do not put spent drum cartridges or spent toner cartridges into a fire. Any toner 
remaining in the drum or toner cartridges may ignite, causing burns or fire.
•Unplug the power plug periodically and wipe away any dust or dirt that has built up 
around the power outlet. If the power plug is left connected for a long period of time 
in a dusty, humid, or smoky environment, dust that gathers around the power outlet 
will absorb moisture and reduce the effectiveness of the insulation, leading to fires.
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 area around the fuser unit inside the printer becomes hot during use. If you are 
inspecting the inside of the printer while you are clearing a paper jam, etc. take care 
not to touch the area around the fuser unit. Doing so can cause burns.
•Be careful to avoid staining your clothes or hands with toner while you are clearing a 
paper jam, replacing the drum cartridge or replacing a toner cartridge. If you do get 
any toner on your clothes or hands, wash it off immediately with cold water. If you 
rinse using hot water the toner may become fixed, creating a stain that cannot be 
removed.
 
						

							xx
•When you are clearing jammed paper from inside the printer, remove the paper gently 
so that toner that is on the jammed paper does not spray out of the printer. This could 
lead to toner getting in your eyes or mouth. If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, 
wash it out immediately with cold water and consult a doctor.
•When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands with 
the edges of the paper.
•When removing used toner cartridges 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 put spent toner cartridges into a fire. The toner may ignite cause burns and 
fires.
•Do not store toner cartridges or paper in a location where there are open flames. 
Toner and paper could ignite, causing burns and fires.
CAUTION
Store toner cartridges and other consumables out of reach of infants. If toner from a 
toner cartridge is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Features and Benefits
■High Definition Full Color Printing
This printer is fitted with a 600 dpi full color laser printer engine. Through additional 
gradation control, this delivers 9600 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi high quality printing. 
Furthermore, calibration processing provides consistently stable images.
■High Performance Printing System CAPT
Canons latest high performance printing system for the Windows operating system, 
CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), has been built into a color printer for the 
first time. This system allows the data processing that was previously handled by the 
printer during printing to be batch processed by the computer, delivering high-speed 
printing that utilizes the full power of the computer. In addition, this means that even heavy 
data can be processed without the need for expansion memory in the printer.
■Compact Design
Although LBP5200 is a color printer, it is compact enough to fit on a desktop.
■USB 2.0 High Speed Installed as Standard
The LBP5200 delivers high-speed transmission by supporting a high-speed USB 2.0 
interface that offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.
■Easy Maintenance
While the intermediate transfer unit, light sensitive drum and waste toner box 
consumable parts are typically separated in a normal printer, in the LBP5200, these have 
been integrated into a single drum cartridge (Canon Genuine Parts), which reduces the 
number of points at which consumable parts need to be replaced.
In addition, replacement of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Parts) and other 
principle consumables can be done through the front panel, providing complete operation 
from the front of the printer.
■Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup
The use of On-Demand Fixing Technology delivers low power consumption and quick 
startup. This unique Canon technology means that the fixing heater is only turned on 
momentarily during printing, and no time is needed to warm up the printer. As a result, 
you can always start printing directly from standby mode without any delay. This energy 
saving design also means that the fuser unit uses virtually no power while the printer is in 
standby mode.
■Support for Various Types of Media
The LBP5200 is capable of printing various types of media including plain paper, heavy 
paper, envelopes, index card and transparency (black and white printing only).
