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 servic\
e 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 Canon Customer Care Center, or a C\
anon Authorized Service Facility.
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 handles (on the left side) and the hand grips (on the 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.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and 
contact Canon Customer Care Center in any of the following cases:
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid or small object has fallen into the machine.
If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions 
in this guide. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in this 
guide. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may require 
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
If the machine has been dropped.
If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for 
servicing.
Do not place your hands, hair, clothing, etc., near the exit and feed rollers. Even if the 
machine is not in operation, your hands, hair, or clothing may get caught in the rollers, 
which may result in personal injury or damage if the machine suddenly starts printing.
Be careful when removing printed paper from paper delivery tray or when aligning it, 
because it may be hot and result in burn injury.
Location
Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to 
support its weight.
Place the machine in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place.
Make sure the area is free from dust.
Make sure the location is not exposed to high temperature or humidity.
Keep the machine away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to place 
the machine near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
Do not use the machine near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come into 
contact with the machine.
Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
Do not place the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic 
fields, such as speakers.

If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone line outlet for easy connection 
of the telephone line cord, and to avoid the expense of installing a new outlet.
Place the machine near a standard 120 V AC (60 Hz) power outlet.
To ensure reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from overheating (which 
can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent. 
Never block or cover any openings on the machine by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, or 
other similar surface. Do not place the machine in a cupboard or built-in installation, or 
near a radiator or other heat source unless proper ventilation is provided. Leave at least 
4" (100 mm) around all sides of the machine.
Do not stack boxes or furniture around the power outlet. Keep the area free so you can 
reach the outlet quickly. If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange odors, noises) 
around the machine, unplug the power cord immediately. Contact Canon Customer Care 
Center.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not place the machine where 
the cord will be walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.

electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Do not use this machine near water (i.e., near a bathtub, kitchen si\
nk, or laundry tub), or in a wet basement or 
near a swimming pool.
2. Avoid using the telephone during an electrical storm, as there may be a remote risk of electric shock from
