•  Do not install the machine near fl  ammable substances such as 
alcohol-based products or paint thinners. If these substances come in 
contact to the electrical parts inside the machine could ignite these 
substances and cause a fi  re or increase your risk of electric shock.
•  Do not place necklaces and other metal objects or containers fi  lled 
with liquid on the machine. If foreign substances come into contact 
with electrical parts inside the machine, this may result in a fi  re or 
electrical shock.
If any of these substances falls into the machine, turn off   the power to 
the machine immediately and contact your local Canon dealer.
•  Do not use near any medical equipment. Radio wave emitted from  this machine may interfere with medical equipments, which may 
result in serious accidents.
  CAUTION
•  Do not install the machine in the following locations. Doing so may  result in personal injury, fi  re or electrical shock.
 
− Unstable location
 
− A location subject to excessive vibrations
 
− A location where block the ventilation slots (too close to walls, bed, 
shaggy rug, and other similar objects)
 
− A damp or dusty location
 
− A location exposed to direct sunlight or an outside place
 
− A location subject to high temperatures
 
− A location near open fl  ames
 
− A location with poor ventilation system
•  Although ozone is generated from the machine during operation,  it does not have any aff  ect on the human body. However, if you 
intend to use the machine for long periods of time, ensure that the 
installation location is well ventilated.
•  Do not connect unapproved cables to this machine. Doing so may  result in a fi  re or an electric shock.
•  Machines with a hard disk may not operate properly when used at  high altitudes of about 3,000 meters above sea level, or higher.
Power Supply
  WARNING
•  Do not use power cords other than the one provided, as this can  result in a fi  re or electrical shock.
•  Do not modify or bend the power cord and do not pull on it with  great force. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. Damaging 
the power cord may result in a fi  re or an electric shock.
•  Do not plug or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this can  result in electrical shock.
•  Do not use extension cords or multi-plug power strips with this  machine. Doing so may result in a fi  re or electric shock.
•  Do not bundle up or tie up the power cord in a knot, as this can result  in a fi  re or electrical shock.
•  Insert the power plug completely into the AC power outlet. Failure to  do so can result in a fi  re or electrical shock.
•  Remove the power plug completely from the power outlet during  a thunder storm. Failure to do may result in a fi  re, electric shock, or 
malfunction.
  CAUTION
•  Use only a power supply that meets the voltage requirements listed  herein. Failure to do so may result in a fi  re or electric shock.
•  Do not obstruct the power outlet where this machine is connected,  so that you can unplug the power cord easily in an emergency.

power outlet with a dry cloth to remove dust and grime. When damp, 
accumulated dust may cause short circuiting or fi  res.
•  Use a damp, well wrung-out cloth to clean the machine. Dampen  cleaning cloths with water only. Do not use alcohol, benzenes, paint 
thinners, or other fl ammable substances. If these substances come 
into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, this may result 
in a fi  re or electric shock.
•  Check the power cord and plug regularly for damage. Check  the machine for rust, dents,  scratches, cracks, or excessive heat 
generation. Use of poorly-maintained equipment may result in a fi  re 
or electric shock.
Consumables
  WARNING
•  Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open fl  ames. This may 
cause an ignition, and result in burns or fi  re.
•  If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully wipe up the loose  toner with a damp, soft cloth and avoid inhaling any toner dust. 
Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up loose toner. Doing so 
may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner or result in a dust 
explosion due to static discharge.
  CAUTION

NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits 
for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These 
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses 
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used 
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference 
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment 
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which 
can be determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user 
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 
following measures:
•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•  Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit diff   erent from that to 
which the receiver is connected.

Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 
laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 
(DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation 
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the machine 
does not produce hazardous radiation. Since radiation emitted inside 
the machine is completely confi ned within protective housings and 
external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during 
any phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food 
and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on 
August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured 
from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in 
the United States.
  CAUTION
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other 
than those specifi  ed in this manual may result in hazardous radiation 
exposure.
The label is attached to the laser scanner machine inside the machine 
and is not in a user access area.
