Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user operation. Read the following remarks and instructions for safety.

- Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.

xix

- Do not remove the caution label attached to the cover of the laser scanner unit.

-If the laser beam escapes from the printer, exposure may cause serious damage to your eyes.

Maintenance and Inspections

WARNING

•When cleaning the printer, turn OFF the main power switch, remove the USB cable, and then unplug the power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.

•Unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of the power plug's metal pins and the AC power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power plug is plugged for a long

period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.

•Clean the printer using a slightly dampened cloth with water or a mild detergent diluted with water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. If flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.

•There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.

•Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.

CAUTION

•Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this manual. There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment could result in personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered under your Limited Warranty.

xx

•The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or electrical shock.

•When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to allow the toner 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.

•When removing paper jammed inside the printer, remove the jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.

•When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands with the edges of the paper.

•When removing a used toner cartridge from the toner cartridge slot, remove the cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.

Consumables

WARNING

•Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite and result in burns or a fire.

•Do not store a toner cartridge or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner or paper to ignite and result in burns or a fire.

CAUTION

Keep toner cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

Others

WARNING

Features and Benefits

This section describes the major features.

■High Performance Printing System "CAPT"

LBP3300 is equipped with the latest high performance printing system, "CAPT" (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), that is compatible with Windows operating systems. As this system allows data to be batch processed by a computer instead of a printer, it enables high-speed printing, making full use of the features of the computer. Also, a large amount of data can be processed without expanding the printer memory.

■USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Installed as Standard

LBP3300 achieves high-speed transmission by supporting Hi-Speed I/F USB 2.0 that offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.

■High Speed Printing and Super High Quality Printing

Delivers a high printing speed of 21 pages per minute. Relieves the stress of waiting for a print job to finish. This printer is fitted with a 600 dpi laser printer engine. A stunningly high resolution of 2400 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi is made possible through the new AIR (Automatic Image Refinement) which is unique to Canon. Furthermore, because the grayscale makes use of a dithering pattern, photographs and graphics can be printed with beautifully subtle reproduction.

■Duplex Unit Installed as Standard

LBP3300 is supplied with the duplex unit. Therefore, you can automatically perform 2- sided printing with paper (A4, Legal, and Letter size) loaded in the manual feed slot or paper cassette. By doing so, you can save paper and make the file space more efficient.

■Simple Maintenance and Printer Status Window

The toner cartridge made for this printer (Canon Genuine Cartridge) is designed as a single part containing both toner and the light sensitive drum, so that it can be easily replaced.

The Printer Status Window that is displayed during printing makes it easy to tell exactly what the printer is doing through the use of graphical and audio cues, improving the overall usability of the printer.

■Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup

By adopting "On-demand Fixing System", LBP3300 achieves low power consumption and quick startup. This Canon's original technology enables instantaneous heating of the fusing heater only before printing, saving warm-up time. So, LBP3300 is always in standby status and ready to print. Also, thanks to its power-saving design, the fixing unit's power consumption is very low when idle.

1-2 Features and Benefits

■Supporting Various Types of Media

Supports various types of media including plain paper, heavy paper, envelopes (Envelope DL, Envelope COM10, Envelope C5, and Envelope Monarch), Index Card, labels, and transparencies. Although LBP3300 is designed for printing media of A4 size or smaller, you can print A3 and B4 size data on A4 size paper by using the function to reduce the standard paper sizes.

You can also print irregular, custom size paper.

■Network-capable Printer

LBP3300 can be used as an Ethernet network printer by installing the optional network board. The network board enables the operation of the printer using a built-in web browser "Remote UI" allowing you to specify settings and manage the printer from a computer on the network.

NOTE

For details on the operating systems that support the optional network board and procedure for setting the board, see "Network Guide".
