1. Important Safety Instructions
To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings 
and precautions described below.
Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in which it is 
installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is installed meets the 
following environmental requirements.
• Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation and maintenance.
• If scanned documents are ejected to the back of the scanner, provide 
adequate space behind the scanner for documents ejected after being 
scanned. (See “Document Eject Tray,” on p. 23.)
• Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use 
curtains to shade the scanner.
• Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.
• Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water faucet, 
water heater, or humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes from 
ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals may be present.
• Avoid locations where ammonia gas is emitted.
• Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or 
paint thinner.
• Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.
• Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in 
which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets 
(condensation) may form inside the scanner. This may result in a noticeable 
degradation in scanning quality.

Chapter 1
The following conditions are recommended for optimal scanning quality:
Room temperature:  10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 90.5 °F)
Humidity:  20% to 80% RH
• Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a magnetic field 
(e.g. speakers, televisions, or radios).
Power
• Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power supply 
frequency. (either 120 V, 60 Hz or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz depending on your 
region)
• Do not use a power supply that is not rated for the specified voltage. Doing 
so might cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to which 
the scanner is connected. Also, when using an extension cord, make sure that 
the extension cord is rated for the current requirements of the scanner.
• The power cord may become damaged if they are often stepped on or if 
heavy objects are placed on them. Continued use of a damaged power cord 
can lead to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.
• Do not pull directly on the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord, 
grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
• Keep the area around the power plug clear of objects so that the power cord 
can be disconnected easily in an emergency.
• If you have any questions regarding the power supply, contact your local 
authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further information.
Moving the Scanner
• When moving the scanner, always hold it with both hands to avoid dropping 
it. The scanner weighs approximately 23 lb (10.2 kg) alone.
• Make sure to disconnect the interface cable and power cord. If the scanner is 
transported with these items plugged in, the plugs and connectors may be 
damaged due to physical shock.
