Print Media Requirements

Storing Paper

The quality of paper may deteriorate if it is stored improperly even when the paper meets the normal specifications. Deteriorated paper may cause misfeeds, paper jams, or deterioration in print quality.

Observe the following guidelines for storing and handling paper:

IMPORTANT

•

Store paper away from moisture since paper quality deteriorates in a moist environment.

•

Paper wrappers are moisture-proof. Keep paper in the wrapper until it is ready to be used. Store all unused paper in a wrapper.

•

Store paper on a flat surface to prevent it from creasing or curling.

•

Do not store paper on the floor where water and moisture can accumulate.

•

Avoid physical damage to stored paper.

•

Do not store a paper stack vertically or leaning on another object.

•

Avoid direct sunlight and moisture when storing paper.

•

If the paper storage room and work area differ significantly in temperature or humidity, keep the paper in the work area for at least one day prior to printing so that it can adapt to the new environment. When paper is moved to a location that differs significantly in temperature or humidity, it may curl or get creased.

Print Media Requirements

2-1

Paper Handling

Storing Color Print Paper

When handling or storing color printouts printed by this machine, be careful of the following points:

IMPORTANT

•

Avoid storing color prints with PVC materials such as clear folders. Toner may come off and stick to the PVC material.

•

Use insoluble adhesive when gluing color prints. Toner may melt when insoluble adhesive is used. Before using the adhesive, test it with paper that is no longer required.

•

Confirm that the color prints are completely dry before placing one over another. Prints may stick if they are placed together half-dried.

•

Store color prints on a flat surface to avoid creasing or curling. Toner may peel off when they are folded or creased.

•

Avoid storing color prints at high temperatures. Otherwise toner may melt and blot.

•

Put color prints in a binder when storing them for a long period of time (more than two years). Color prints may discolor when they are stored for a long period of time.

■ Unacceptable Paper

Do not copy on the following types of copy stock. Doing so may result in paper jams.

• Severely curled or wrinkled paper

• Transparencies designed for full-color copiers or printers

• Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-color copier (Do not copy

on the reverse side.)

CHAPTER

This chapter explains how to clean the machine, replace the toner cartridge, and repack and transport the machine.

Periodic Cleaning

Your machine requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for your machine.

CAUTION

• When cleaning the machine's exterior or the platen glass, be sure to disconnect

the power cord before cleaning the machine.

• Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can

stick to the components or generate static charges. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the components.

• Never use volatile liquids such as thinner, benzene, acetone, or any other

chemical cleaner to clean the interior of the machine; these can damage the machine's components.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the machine's exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.

Periodic Cleaning

8-1

Cleaning the Scanning Area

Wipe the scanning area (shaded area) with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water, then wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

Platen glass Platen glass cover

Cleaning the ADF Area

Black lines may appear in copies when the ADF is used to feed documents. This is caused by paste, ink, correction fluid, or other foreign matters in the read area of the platen glass (shaded area). Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the read area clean. Take particular care to clean at the locations where the black lines are appearing on copies.

Maintenance

If you have trouble getting the glass clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water or a mild neutral detergent, and then wipe the glass dry with another cloth.

IMPORTANT

•

Paste, ink, correction fluid, and other foreign matter can soil the platen glass when you send a document through the ADF while the paste, ink, or correction fluid on the document is still wet. This is what causes black lines on copies. Whenever you load a document in the ADF, always check to make sure that any paste, ink, or correction fluid that is on the document is completely dry.

•

When cleaning the read area of the platen glass, take care not to damage the white roller located on the center of the ADF.

Cleaning the Fusing Roller

If smudge marks appear on the back or front side of printed pages, clean the fusing roller in the following procedure. Print quality deterioration can be prevented by cleaning the fusing roller. First, print out a cleaning page using LTR or A4 size paper. Then, feed the cleaning page from the multi-purpose tray to clean the fusing roller.

IMPORTANT

A cleaning page cannot be printed on paper in size other than LTR or A4. Be sure to set LTR or A4 paper in the cassette.

Recycling Used Cartridges

Canon has instituted a worldwide recycling program for 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.

The Clean Earth Campaign

THE Canon CARTRIDGE RECYCLING PROGRAM

The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program fulfills the first initiative of Canon's Clean Earth Campaign, which supports four critical environmental areas:

• Recycling in the Workplace

• Conserving Environmental Resources

• Scientific Research and Education

• Encouraging Outdoors Appreciation

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.

Becoming a part of this worthwhile program is easy. When your cartridge is of no
