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.  
Do not place heavy objects on the copier,  
as they may tip over or fall resulting in  
personal injury.  
Do not install the copier in the following  
locations.  
• A damp or dusty location  
• A location which is exposed to direct

knot, as this may result in a fire or  
electrical shock.  
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  
power and extension cords.

or electrical shock.  
CAUTION  
Do not drop paper clips, staples or other  
metal objects inside the copier. Also, do  
not spill water, liquids or flammable  
substances (alcohol, benzene, paint  
thinner, etc.) inside 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.  
1
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.

when the copier will not be used for a long  
period of time such as at night. Also,  
unplug the power plug for safety when the  
copier will not be used for an even longer  
period of time such as during consecutive  
holidays.  
Maintenance and Inspection  
WARNING  
When cleaning the copier, first turn OFF  
the power switch and unplug the power  
plug. Failure to observe these items may  
result in a fire or electrical shock.  
If copying paper larger than the platen,  
pay attention to the portion of the paper  
that runs off the edge. If this is caught in  
the copier, it may be damaged.  
Do not touch the platen area during  
copying as your hand may be injured if  
caught by the moving parts.

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.

internal inspections, to avoid burns or electrical  
shock.  
Whenever there is a paper jam, even if you can  
see the jammed paper from the sides, be sure  
to open the top cover and remove the jammed  
paper from inside the copier rather than pulling  
it out from the sides.  
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.

main unit.  
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.

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  
the two corners to detach the tray.
