Safety
Considerations
ꢁ Do not install the copier so that the
ventilation ports are blocked by objects. If
the ventilation ports are blocked, heat will
build up inside the copier and may result
in a fire.
Power Supply
WARNING
Installation
ꢁ Do not damage or modify the power cord.
Also, do not place heavy objects on the
power cord, or pull on or excessively bend
it, as this could cause electrical damage
and result in a fire or electrical shock.
ꢁ Do not place the following items on the
copier. If these items come into contact
with a high-voltage area inside the copier,
this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Necklaces and other metal objects
• Cups, vases, flowerpots and other
containers filled with water or liquids.
If these items are dropped or spilled
inside the copier, immediately turn OFF
the power switch and unplug the power
plug from the socket. Then, contact your
service representative.
WARNING
1
ꢁ Do not install the copier near alcohol,
paint thinner or other inflammable
substances. If inflammable substances
come into contact with electrical parts
inside the copier, this may result in a fire
or electrical shock.
ꢁ Do not insert or unplug the power plug
with wet hands, as this may result in
electrical shock.
CAUTION
ꢁ Do not install the copier in unstable
locations such as on unsteady platforms
or in tilted places, or in locations which are
subject to excessive vibrations, as this
may cause the copier to fall or tip over,
resulting in personal injury.

Handling
WARNING
CAUTION
ꢁ Do not use power supplies with voltages
other than 115V AC, as this may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
ꢁ Do not attempt to disassemble or modify
the copier. There are high temperature
and high voltage components inside the
copier which may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
ꢁ Always grasp the plug portion when
unplugging the power plug. Pulling on the
power cord may expose or snap the core
wire, or otherwise damage the power cord.
If the cord is damaged, this could cause
an electricity leak and result in a fire or
electrical shock.
1
ꢁ If the copier makes strange noises, or
emits smoke, heat or unusual smells,
immediately turn OFF the power switch
and unplug the power plug from the
socket. Then, contact your service
representative. Continued use of the
copier in this condition may result in a fire
or electrical shock.
ꢁ Leave sufficient space around the power
plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If
objects are placed around the power plug,
you will be unable to unplug it in an
emergency.
ꢁ Insert the power plug completely into the
socket, as failure to do so may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
ꢁ Do not use power cords other than the
provided power cord, as this may result in
a fire or electrical shock.
ꢁ As a general rule, do not use extension
cords.
Using an extension cord may result in a
fire or electrical shock. If an extension
cord must be used, however, untie the
cord binding and insert the power plug
completely into the extension cord socket
to ensure a firm connection between the

8
ꢁ When removing jammed paper or when
inspecting the inside of the copier, do not
allow necklaces, bracelets or other metal
objects to touch the inside of the copier, as
this may result in burns or electrical shock.
Consumables
WARNING
ꢁ Do not throw cartridges into open flames,
as this may cause the toner to ignite and
result in burns or a fire.
ꢁ When removing copy paper which has
become jammed from inside the copier, take
care not to allow the toner on the jammed
copy paper to come into contact with your
hands or clothing, as this will dirty your
hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash
them immediately with cold water. Washing
with warm water will set the toner and make
it impossible to remove the toner stains.
1
ꢁ Do not store cartridges or copy paper in
places exposed to open flames, as this
may cause the cartridges or copy paper to
ignite and result in burns or a fire.
ꢁ Clean the copier using a firmly wrung-out
cloth dampened with a mild cleansing
detergent. Do not use alcohol, benzene,
paint thinner or other flammable
substances. If flammable substances
come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the copier, this may result in a fire
or electrical shock.
CAUTION
ꢁ When removing copy paper which has
become jammed from inside the copier,
remove the jammed copy paper gently to
prevent the toner on the paper from
scattering and entering your eyes or mouth.
If toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash
immediately with cold water and consult a
physician.
ꢁ Keep cartridges and other consumables
out of the reach of small children. If these
items are ingested, consult a physician
immediately.
ꢁ Do not throw used cartridges into open
flames, as this may ignite the toner
remaining inside the cartridges and result
in burns or a fire.
ꢁ When loading copy paper or removing
jammed originals or copy paper, take care
not to cut your hands on the edges of the
original or copy paper.
CAUTION
ꢁ There are some areas inside the copier
which are subject to high voltages and high
temperatures. Take adequate precaution
when performing internal inspections, to
avoid burns or electrical shock.

Recycling used cartridges
Cartridge Storing Precautions
Canon has instituted a worldwide recycling
program for toner cartridges called “The
Clean Earth Campaign”. This program
preserves precious natural resources by
utilizing a variety of materials found in the
used cartridges that are of no further use, to
remanufacture new cartridges which, at the
same time, keeps the environment cleaner
by reducing landfill waste. Complete details
concerning this program are enclosed in
each PC Cartridge Box, and mentioned in
this manual.
Store all unused cartridges according to the following guidelines.
• Place the cartridge in the shipping bag so that the side with the written
instructions is facing upwards. Then place the cartridge into its shipping
box. Store the unused cartridges out of direct sunlight.
1
• If you do not have the shipping bag and box, be sure to store the cartridge
in a dark location. Make sure that the side with the written instructions is
always facing upwards.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end or turn it upside down.
• Store the cartridges out of reach of small children.
• Never place the cartridges near heaters or humidifiers, etc. Always store
at 104°F or less.
• The recommended storage conditions are as follows:
Temperature
68°F to 77°F
Relative Humidity 40% to 70%

The Clean Earth Campaign
THE CANON CARTRIDGE RECYCLING PROGRAM
We appreciate your support of The Canon
Cartridge Recycling Program.
Working together we can make a significant
contribution to a cleaner planet.
The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program
fulfills the first initiative of Canon’s Clean
Earth Campaign, which supports four critical
environmental areas:
1
•
Cartridges collected through this program
are not refilled.
•
•
•
•
Recycling in the Workplace
Conserving Environmental Resources
Scientific Research and Education
Encouraging Outdoors Appreciation
•
You are not entitled to a tax deduction or
rebate for the return of empty toner
cartridges.
The remaining “Clean Earth” initiatives are
supported in the U.S. through sponsorships
of the National Park Foundation, the National
Wildlife Federation, and The Nature
Conservancy and in Canada through
donations to the World Wildlife Fund Canada
and The Nature Conservancy of Canada.
Since its inception, The Canon Cartridge
Recycling Program has collected millions of
cartridges that otherwise would have been
discarded into landfills or similar facilities.
Instead, this rapidly growing program returns
used cartridges to the manufacturing
process, thus conserving an array of
resources.
•
This program may be modified or
discontinued without notice.
Becoming a part of this worthwhile program
is easy. When your cartridge is of no further
use, simply follow the instructions detailed for
U.S. or Canadian residents.

Routine Cleaning
To ensure optimum copy quality
the platen glass, platen cover,
copy tray and multi-stack tray
should be cleaned on a regular
basis.
To clean these parts, wipe with a
cloth dampened with water or a
mild cleaning agent and then wipe
with a soft dry cloth.
CAUTION:
•
•
Before cleaning the copier, turn the power
switch OFF and unplug the copier from its
power source. Failure to do so may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
ꢀ Clean the external housing of the
copier in the same way.
Clean the copier using a firmly wrung-out cloth
dampened with a mild cleansing detergent. Do
not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner or other
flammable substances. If flammable substances
come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the copier, this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
ꢀ To clean the underside of the platen
glass, first remove the multi-stack tray
from the main unit. To do so, hold the
corners of the multi-stack tray with
both hands and lightly push inwards on
