Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you use the 
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the machine in any way not described in this manual.
Warning
zThis product emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, 
please move away from this product and consult your doctor.
zYou may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety 
precautions.
Choosing a locationDo not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
Power supplyNever attempt to plug in or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are wet.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist 
the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power 
cord.
Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared 
with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way 
adapter, etc.).
Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug 
the machine at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe 
off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet. 
If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, 
smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug 
absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
If you hear thunder, disconnect the power supply of the machine and refrain from using it. Leaving 
the machine plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine, depending on 
the thunder storm.
Use the power cable included with the machine.
 
						

							4Safety Precautions
Cleaning the machineUse a damp cloth to clean the machine. Never use 
flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners.
If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical 
components inside the machine, it could cause a fire or 
electric shock.
Always unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning the machine.
If you accidentally switch the machine on while cleaning it, you could injure yourself or damage the 
machine.
Maintaining the 
machineDo not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are no user serviceable parts inside 
the machine.
The machine contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance procedure not 
described in this guide.
Working around the 
machineDo not use highly flammable sprays near the machine.
This could cause a fire or electric shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components 
inside the machine.
Caution
You may cause injury or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety precautions.
Choosing a locationDo not install the machine in a location that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration.
Since this machine weighs approximately 36.6 lbs. (16.6 kg), it is recommended that two people 
move or relocate the machine. Attempting to do so alone could result in dropping the machine or 
injuring yourself. 
Do not install the machine in locations that are very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, outdoors, or 
close to a heating source.
To avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks, install the machine in a location with an ambient 
temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) and humidity of 10% to 90% (condensation free).
Do not place the machine on a thick rug or carpet.
Do not place the machine with its back attached to the wall.
Power supplyEnsure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at 
all times so you can easily unplug the power cord if 
necessary.
Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.
Do not use an extension lead/cord.

Before Using the Machine
Included Items
Check that all the following items are in the box. If anything is missing or damaged, contact your 
Canon service representative.
zMachine
zSetup CD-ROM
zEasy Setup Instructions (Setup Sheet)
zNetwork Setup Guide
zQuick Start Guide
zPrint Head
zInk tanks (PGI-9PBK, PGI-7BK, PGI-9Y, PGI-9M, PGI-9C)
zClear ink tank (PGI-9Clear)
The clear ink is used only when printing on plain paper.
When printing on standard plain paper, which readily absorbs ink, printed text or images may 
be blurred or colors may run together. By coating the surface of plain paper with clear ink 
before actual printing begins, the clear ink coating prevents absorption of other inks to 
enhance colors and prevent smudging when printing on both sides of the paper.
In addition, paper curling, which often occurs when printing on plain paper, is reduced.
Note that, since plain paper is coated with the clear ink after it is printed out, any pencil marks 
made in the margin of the paper may not come off easily with use of an eraser.
zPower cord
zTelephone line cable
zCleaning sheets (for sheet cleaning)
zAdditional documents
* A USB cable is necessary to connect the machine with your computer.
* A LAN cable is necessary to connect the machine to the network.
