Warning
You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the printer if you ignore any of these safety 
precautions.
Choosing a 
LocationDo not place the printer close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or 
thinners.
Power supplyNever attempt to plug in or unplug the printer 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 printer into a power socket that is shared 
with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way 
adapter, etc.).
Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, 
immediately unplug the printer at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe 
off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power 
outlet.
If the printer 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.
Use only power supplies listed in the user instructions (Canon AC Adapter: 
K30273 and/or Li-ion Battery Pack: Canon K30274).
Do not use them for other products.
Cleaning the 
printerUse a damp cloth to clean the printer. Never use 
flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners.
If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical 
components inside the printer, it could cause a fire or 
electric shock.
Always unplug the printer from the power outlet before cleaning the printer.
If you accidentally switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could injure 
yourself or damage the printer.
Maintaining the 
printerDo not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. There are no user 
serviceable parts inside the printer.
The printer contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any 
maintenance procedure not described in this guide.
