These instructions describe the operating procedures for the Canon
Microfilm Scanner 400. After you set up the unit, keep this manual
in a convenient location so you can find it when you need it.
Important features
❏ Saves space
The economical design of this compact film scanner requires less
space on your desk or work table.
❏ Automatic film detection
The unit automatically detects the presence of negative film or
positive film and performs accordingly. Troublesome adjustments
for the type of film are not required.
❏ Uses a variety of film formats
A wide variety of roll/fiche carriers or auto carriers can be installed so you can use several film formats like microfiche, aperture card, and roll film.
❏ Easy operation
Operations like border removal and image trimming can be performed at the press of a few keys before printing.
❏ Easy expansion
With the installation of an SCSI board (sold separately), you can
connect the unit to a personal computer for advanced operations
like CAR detection and image transfers.

Work safely!
To ensure safe, efficient operation, read the follow precautions
and recommendations before you choose a location and set up the
system.
Choosing a safe location
■ To ensure adequate space for ventilation, operation, and mainte-
nance, make sure there is enough space around the system on all
sides. To prevent overheating, never block the ventilation slots.
10cm
50cm
■ Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. When exposure to sunlight is
unavoidable, install curtains to protect the unit.
■ Avoid a dusty location. Dust can adversely affect the internal parts
of the unit.
■ Do not set up and use the unit in a location where the unit is ex-
posed to water, steam, or high humidity. Keep all liquids away
from the unit.
■ Avoid areas like laboratories where fumes from ammonia, acetone,
or other volatile chemicals are present. Never use any kind of
volatile, flammable spray near the unit.
3
Page 8
Work safely!
■ Never set up the unit in an area where flammable substances like
alcohol, thinner, or other organic chemicals are present.
■ Select a flat, stable surface that can support the 26 kg (57.2 lb)
weight of the unit.
■ Choose a location that is free of excessive vibration.
■ Avoid a location subject to sudden or wide changes in tempera-
ture. Condensation inside the unit can cause poor print quality.
Use the unit in a location within these ranges for temperature and
humidity.
Temperature 10˚C to 32.5˚C (50˚F to 90.5˚F)
Humidity 10% to 85% RH
■ Do not place the unit near large speakers, a radio, a television, or
any other type of equipment that can generate a strong magnetic
field.

Selecting a power source
Power supply requirements
Work safely!
U.S.A. 120V, 50-60 Hz
Europe 220-240V, 50-60 Hz
(other areas)
If you have any questions about the power source at
your work site, contact your supplier or the power company.
■ The unit should have an independent power source that is not
shared with any other electrical device. If you have to use an extension cord or power strip, make sure the total ampere rating for
all the equipment does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cord.
■ Do not place anything on the power cord, and do not locate the
unit where people working around the unit will walk on the cord.
With no variation
more than 10%
above the rated
power on the unit
label.
■ Do not bundle the power cord or wrap it around an object like a
table or chair leg. The area around the unit should be clear of all
obstacles. In case of an emergency, you should be able to reach
the power source quickly to unplug the cord.
■ To remove the power cord from the power outlet, grasp the head
of the plug firmly to remove it. Never pull on the cord to remove
the plug from the power outlet. Never touch the power cord with
wet hands.

Important warnings
Before you use the equipment, make sure you and your co-workers read the following warnings about using this equipment.
PAY ATTENTION TO THESE WARNINGS! FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT
IN INJURY FROM FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
■ Use only the power cord supplied with the unit.
■ Never disassemble the unit. There are no user servicable parts
inside the unit.
■ If you detect strange noises, odors, or smoke around the unit, turn
the power switch off immediately, remove the plug from the power
source and call for service.
■ Handle the unit carefully to avoid dropping it, hitting it, or sub-
jecting it to strong shock or vibration. If something collides with
the unit or hits it, turn it off immediately, remove the plug from
the power source, and call for service.
■ Before you move the unit even a short distance, turn off the power
switch and remove the plug from the power source.
■ Never place anything on top of the unit, especially a liquid con-
tainer like a flower vase.
■ When you are working around the unit, avoid wearing loose fit-
ting jewelry like bracelets and necklaces.
■ Keep the work area clear of metal clips, pins, paper clips and other
types of fasteners. If something falls into the unit accidentally,
turn the unit power switch off, unplug the power cord from the
power source, and call for service.
■ To avoid possible injury from falling objects, never place heavy
objects on the unit.
■ If the unit is not to be used for a long period, turn the power switch
off and unplug the power cord from the power source.
■ Avoid touching internal parts when you perform routine cleaning
or maintenance like changing the lamp. Some parts inside the main
unit generate high temperatures and high voltages.
■ To avoid minor injuries, avoid touching the metal studs on the
bottom of the unit when you move it.

MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes routine maintenance and troubleshooting
procedures:
To ensure optimum performance and a long service life for the
unit, perform the routine maintenance procedures described below.
Changing the lamp
The halogen lamp projects the film image on the screen. If it burns
out, you will not be able to see images on the screen. Follow the
procedure below to change the lamp after it burns out.
If the lamp burns out, you will see L5 displayed in the Print dis-
play.
THE HALOGEN LAMP AND LAMP UNIT ARE EXTREMELY HOT. AFTER "L5" APPEARS IN THE
PRINT DISPLAY, WAIT A FEW MINUTES FOR THE
LAMP AND LAMP UNIT TO COOL DOWN BEFORE
YOU TURN OFF THE UNIT AND CHANGE THE
BULB.
1. If you do not see the image on the screen, check the Print display.
If you see L5 in the Print display, this confirms that the halogen
lamp has burned out. (➞26)
2. Wait about 5 minutes for the lamp and lamp unit to cool down.
Then turn off the unit.
3. On the right side of the unit, grip the lamp unit with firm pressure
and pull it from the main unit.
22
Page 27
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE LAMP IS STILL WARM, WAIT UNTIL THE
LAMP UNIT COOLS DOWN. HALOGEN LAMPS
BURN EXTREMELY HOT AND REQUIRE MORE
TIME TO COOL DOWN THAN ORDINARY BULBS.
4. Push the side lever holding the halogen bulb to the side then lift
up the bulb.
5. Replace the halogen bulb only with a Canon specified replace-
ment.
Handle the new halogen bulb with extreme care. Do
not touch the surface of the new bulb with your bare
fingertips. Oil from your fingertips or other foreign matter can cause the bulb to burn unevenly, shortening
the service life of the halogen bulb.
While holding the company mark on the new halogen bulb up,
insert the bulb into the lamp unit.
6. Insert the lamp unit into the main unit with firm, even pressure
until it locks into place.
23
Page 28

Service Call Errors
Every time you turn on the main unit, the unit automatically performs a self-diagnostic test. If the unit detects a problem at power
on, or at any other time during operation, it will display a Service
Call Error message in the Print display. A Service Call Error is a
three-digit number prefixed with the letter "E" (Ennn). A Service
Call Error message tells the service technician the source of the
problem.
Follow the procedure below when a Service Call Error occurs.
1. Note the Service Call Error in the Print display and turn the main
unit off immediately. Wait a few moments.
2. Turn the main unit on again and watch the display.
If you see a "1" in the Print display, the main unit has recovered
and you can resume normal operation.
When a service call error occurs, turning the main unit
off and on again frequently solves the problem.
If you see the Service Call Error again (Ennn), jot down the error
number, turn the main unit off immediately, then unplug the main
unit, printer, and/or carrier from the power source. Call for service and make sure you tell the service technician the number of
the Service Call Error displayed in the Print display.
