Preface
Preface
Thank you for choosing a Canon product. Before using the machine, please read the 
following instructions for your safety.
Important Safety Instructions
Except as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service the machine yourself. Never attempt to disassemble the 
machine: opening and removing its interior covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service, contact your 
local authorized Canon dealer.
Handling and Maintenance
Be careful when removing printed paper from output trays or when aligning it, because it may be hot and result in burn injury.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.
Do not subject the machine to strong physical shocks or vibrations.
Always unplug the machine before moving or cleaning it.
To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the left cover or add or remove paper in the 
machine while printing.
When transporting the machine, be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the machine.
Place the toner cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth to prevent exposure to light.
Always use the hand grips (on the left and right side) of the machine when you lift the machine. Never lift 
the machine by any of its trays or attachments.
Do not insert any objects into the slots or openings on the machine since they may touch dangerous 
voltage points or short out parts. This could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the machine.
To avoid spillage in or around the machine, do not eat or drink near it.
Keep the machine clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the machine from operating properly.
Toner cartridge for this machine will be available for at least seven (7) years (or any such longer period as 
required by applicable laws) after production of this machine model has been discontinued.
Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and contact your local 
authorized Canon dealer in any of the following cases:When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
