Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this guide to ensure that you use your 
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the machine in any way not described in this guide. 
Warning
You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety 
precautions.
Location Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners. If 
flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, it may 
result in fire or electrical shock.
Power supply Never attempt to plug or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are 
wet. This may result in electrical shock.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet. If the prongs of the power plug 
come into contact with metal objects, it may result in fire or electrical shock.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place 
heavy objects on the power cord. These actions may cause electrical damage and result in 
fire or electrical shock.
Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension 
lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.). This may result in fire or electrical shock. 
Plug the machine into a standard 110-120 V AC, 50/60 Hz or 200-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 
(depending on your local electrical requirements), two-prong* grounded outlet. Operate the 
machine only from the type of power source indicated on the machine’s label or a fire, 
electrical shock, or malfunction may occur. If you are unsure of the type of power available, 
consult your local power company.
* The shape of the plug and outlet may vary depending on the country of purchase.
Do not allow the power cord to be near objects that emit heat. The outer cover of the power 
cord may melt resulting in fire or electrical shock.
Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted. Knots in the cord may 
result in fire or electrical shock. 
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately 
unplug the machine at the power supply and contact the Canon Customer Care Center.
Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock. 
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. 
Maintenance Do not service the machine yourself except as specifically described in this guide. If further 
servicing is required, contact the Canon Customer Care Center.
When storing the machine, choose a location where the machine is not exposed to dust. 
Dust accumulation may prevent the machine from operating properly.
Use 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 electrical shock. 
Always turn OFF the power and unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning 
the machine. 
If you leave on or accidentally switch the machine ON while cleaning it, it may result in 
injury or damage the machine.  
						

							7
Handling Do 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. Incorrect maintenance procedures may damage the 
machine, or cause a fire or electrical shock.
Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also do not 
spill water, liquid, or flammable substances inside the machine. If these items come into 
contact with high-voltage parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or electrical shock. 
If these items are dropped or spilled in the machine, turn OFF the power and unplug the 
power cord immediately with dry hands. Then contact the Canon Customer Care Center.
Do not use flammable sprays near the machine.
This could cause a fire or electrical shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical 
components inside the machine. 
There are high-voltage components inside the machine. If you are looking inside the 
machine to clear paper jams etc., do not allow metal objects such as jewelry to come into 
contact with the inside of the machine. Contact may result in burns or electrical shock.
Others This 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.
When setting the machine near electric products with fluorescent lighting, separate the 
machine at least 5.9 inches (15 cm) from electric products equipped with fluorescent 
lighting. If you place it near to them, the machine may malfunction as a result of the noise 
emitted by the fluorescent lighting.
When turning OFF the power, be sure to press [ON/OFF] and confirm that the Alarm Lamp 
has shut off. If you pull the power plug out of the wall outlet while the Alarm Lamp is lit or 
flashing, the Print Head is not protected, and you may not be able to print later.
Caution
You may cause injury or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety precautions. 
Location Do not block or cover the ventilation port or any openings on the machine with objects, as 
it may cause the inside of machine to overheat and cause a fire. 
Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support 
its weight. If the machine topples over, it may result in injury. (For the weight of the 
machine, see “Appendix” on page 164.)
Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
Do not install the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields, 
such as speakers.
To ensure proper ventilation, make sure the machine is approximately 4 inches (10 cm) 
away from walls and other equipment. 
Do not install the machine in a location that is very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, 
outdoors, or close to a heating source. 
Installing in such a location may result in fire or electrical shock. 
To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shocks, install the machine in a location with an 
ambient temperature range of 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) and humidity of 10% to 90% 
(condensation free). 
Do not place the machine on a thick rug or carpet. 
If fibers or dust come inside the machine, it could cause a fire.

Power supply Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord. 
Pulling on the power cord may damage the cord and cause a fire or electrical shock. 
When turning OFF the power, be sure to press [ON/OFF] or unplug the machine. 
However, if the machine is unplugged during printing, the Print Head is not protected with 
the cap that prevents the ink from drying. This may affect the print quality of the machine 
when printing later. 
During electrical storms, turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord from the 
power outlet. 
Do not use an extension cord as this may result in fire or electrical shock.
Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily 
unplug the power cord if necessary. Otherwise you will be unable to disconnect the power 
plug in case of an emergency, and it may result in fire or electrical shock.
Never use a power supply source other than the one rated for the machine in the country 
where you purchased the machine as it may result in fire or electrical shock.

110-120 V AC, 50/60 Hz or 200-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (depending on local electrical 
requirements)
Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as appliances such as an air conditioner, 
television, or copier. These devices generate electrical noise which may interfere with your 
machine’s operation. 
Whenever you turn OFF the power and unplug the machine, wait at least five seconds 
before you plug it in again. 
Use only the power cord that came with the machine. Using a different power cord may 
cause electric leakage or damage to the machine.
Turn OFF the power and unplug the machine in the following conditions:
zWhen the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
zIf liquid has spilled into the machine.
zIf the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
zIf the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in the
