Safety Precautions

• Before using the printer, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the printer is operated correctly.

• The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the printer to prevent injuries or damage to yourself and other persons.

W ARNINGS

Printer

If the printer emits smoke or a burning odor, or shows other signs of significant malfunction, immediately unplug the power cable from the electrical outlet. Continued operation under these conditions poses risk of fire or electric shock. Be sure that smoke or burning odor subsides, and then contact your dealer or the nearest Canon Customer Support help desk.

If the printer is dropped or the printer casing becomes damaged, unplug the power cable from the electrical outlet. Continued operation poses risk of fire or electric shock. Contact your dealer or the nearest Canon Customer Support help desk.

Never rest small metallic objects or liquid containers on top of the printer. If liquid splashes onto the printer, wipe the printer dry using a soft absorbent cloth. If liquid spills into the printer or an object falls into the printer, immediately unplug the power cable from the electrical outlet. Continued operation poses risk of fire or electric shock. Contact your dealer or the nearest Canon Customer Support help desk.

Do not use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner to clean the printer. Use of such solvents poses a fire risk.

Do not drop or insert metallic or combustible objects into the printer. Entry of foreign objects into the printer may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment failure. Store the printer out of the reach of children.

Do not disassemble or modify the printer. The printer contains high-voltage components, and there is risk of electric shock. If your printer needs internal adjustment or repair, contact your dealer or a Canon Customer Support help desk.

Do not touch metal parts of the printer or the power plug during thunderstorms. Lightning strikes may produce lethal voltages within the printer. Keep clear of the printer while thunderstorms are in progress.

Power

Connect this product only to the power source described on the product label. Be sure that your electrical distribution setup are operating within their rated limited. Connecting too many lines to the same outlet may result in fire. Check that voltage and outlet are correct before plugging in the printer.

If the power cable becomes damaged (if internal wiring is exposed, etc.), immediately unplug the cable from the electrical outlet. Continued use poses risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not plug in or unplug the power cable while your hands are wet, as this may result in electric shock. When unplugging the cable, hold it firmly at the plug area. Do not pull directly on the cable, as this may damage or expose the cable’s internal wiring, resulting in risk of fire or electric shock.

Be sure that the power cable is plugged all the way in. A loose connection may result in heat buildup, fire, or electric shock.

Do not damage, modify, or rest heavy objects on the power cable. Damage to the cable may result in the exposure of live wires, fire, or electric shock.

Keep the power cable free of dust. The presence of dust or metallic debris on the plug poses risk of fire or electric shock. If the plug area is not clean, unplug the power cable and then wipe the plug area clean using a dry cloth. Check the plug periodically to make sure it is clean.

Usage Location

Do not place the printer on an unstable or tilted table or desk, as there is risk that the printer may fall and cause injury.

CAUTIONS

Printer

Do not block the air vents on the printer. Blocking the vents may cause the inside of the printer to overheat, resulting in damage to internal components and risk of equipment failure or fire. Use the printer in a well-ventilated area.

Do not rest heavy objects on the printer. Objects may fall off the printer and cause bodily injury. Weight on the printer may deform the printer casing, resulting in damage to internal parts and posing risk of fire.

Unplug the printer when you are not using it. If the printer remains plugged in, there is risk that accidental contact with the printer’s internal parts may cause electric shock. Leaving the printer plugged in during prolonged periods of non-use poses risk of fire.

Do not remove the paper cassette from the printer while printing is in progress. Paper moves back and forth in the cassette four times during printing. Placing your hand in the way of moving paper may result in injury. Wait for printing to finish completely before removing the cassette. Never reach your hand into the paper cassette slot.

Do not reach into internal parts of the printer except as specified in the operating instructions. Reaching into inappropriate parts of the printer may cause your hand to become caught or injured.

Power

Do not move the printer while it is plugged in. Doing so may damage the power cable. Continued use of a damaged power cable poses risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not excessively bend or twist the power cable. Doing so may damage the cable. Continued use of a damaged cable poses risk of fire or equipment failure. Leave about 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance around the cable to ensure adequate ventilation.

Do not pull on the power cable. Doing so may damage the cable. Continued use of a damaged cable poses risk of fire or electric shock. Always hold the cable by the plug area when unplugging it.

Usage Location

Do not use the printer in locations that are smoky, humid, dusty, or subject to strong vibration. Entry of water or dust into the printer, or internal damage caused by strong vibration, may pose risk of fire or electric shock. Have the printer checked approximately once a year (contact your dealer), preferably before the onset of the your area’s humid season.

Do not leave the printer exposed to high temperatures. Do not leave in direct sunlight, or close to heating equipment, or in a car with windows closed on a hot day. High temperatures may cause deformation of the printer and pose risk of fire.

Do not use the printer near an open flame. Sheets ejected from the printer (onto the top of the paper cassette) may fall into the flame, resulting in fire.

Do not use the printer close to TV sets or AM radios. Printer operation may adversely affect TV and radio reception.

Proper Usage and Handling

Usage Location

• Do not use near strong magnets or near devices that produce strong electromagnetic fields. Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as TVs and game machines, and strong magnetic fields from devices such as speakers and large motors, may cause distortion in printed images.

• Use in a well-ventilated area.

• Leave about 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance around the printer. Be sure to leave clearance around the paper handling slot (at the rear) so that paper has sufficient room to jut out from the slot during printing.

Handling Precautions

• Never use volatile compounds or insecticides on the printer, and do not allow rubber or vinyl material to remain in prolonged contact with the printer. These materials may cause deformation of the printer’s casing.

• Unplug the printer when you are not using it. But please note that you should plug in and run the printer at least once every six months to ensure that it remains functional.

• Before transporting the printer, remove the paper and ink cassettes and close the paper cassette cover and the ink cassette cover.

• Pack the printer into an appropriate case for transport. If a case is not available, wrap it with cloth or other protective material to protect against scratches.

Overheating

If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating.

has malfunctioned.

normal printing as soon as it cools down. Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur

in the following cases:

• When printing continuously.

• If the room is unusually warm.

• If the air vents are blocked or if ventilation is

inadequate.

This does not mean that the printer

The printer will resume

To Prevent Damage from Condensation

Condensation may form in the printer if you suddenly move it from a cold location to a warm location. To prevent damage that might be caused by condensation, place the printer in a sealed vinyl bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room temperature before using it.

Cleaning the Printer

• Never use benzene, paint thinner, or other volatile solvents to clean the printer. Volatile solvents may cause deformation or peeling of the printer’s casing. To clean the printer, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. If stronger cleaning is required, wipe first with a cloth moistened with a dilute neutral solvent, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. If you use a chemical cleaning cloth, read the instructions that come with it and observe all indicated precautions.

• Keep the air vents clean and free of dust. Clean the vents as necessary. Dust that enters the printer through the vents may land on the ink sheet, resulting in poor print quality and possibly leading to printer breakdown. If the ink sheet becomes dusty, remove the ink cassette and replace it with a new one.

Proper Handling of Ink Cassettes, Ink Sheets, Paper Cassette Slot, and Paper

• Please use only the ink cassettes and paper types specified for use by Canon.

• Allow ink cassettes and paper to reach room temperature before installing and using them. Condensation may form if you suddenly move ink cassettes or paper from a cold location to a warm location. If there is risk of condensation, leave the cassette and paper in their packaging until they reach room temperature, and wipe away any moisture before loading them.

• Do not place any foreign objects in the print output receptacle (on the top of the paper cassette). This area is for paper only.

• Remember to remove the slack from the ink sheet before installing the ink cassette. To take up the slack, push in the blue circle and turn it in the direction of the arrow embossed on the top of the cassette.

Blue circle

• Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet.

• Do not touch the print side of the paper with your fingers. Always hold the paper along the edges (outside the perforated border). Be sure that hands are dry before touching the paper, and do not scratch on the paper surface with a hard object. Keep the paper surface away from dust, water droplets, etc.

WRONGRIGHT

• Do not tear or bend the paper’s perforated edges before printing.

• Do not use label sheets on which labels are partially peeled off.

• Paper must be printed on the glossy side (the side without any printed markings). Always load paper into the cassette with the glossy side up. Loading the paper the wrong way may result in poor print quality, and in some cases may cause damage to the printer.

• Do not write on the paper before printing. Writing on paper before printing to it may result in malfunction.

• You may write on the back of the paper with an oil-based pen, but to avoid smudging please allow ink time to dry before touching it.

• Do not overload the paper cassette. Maximum capacity is 18 sheets. Overloading the cassette may damage the printer.

• Do not open the ink cassette cover while printing is in progress, and do not try to forcibly pull the ink cassette out. These actions may damage the printer.

• Do not apply excessive force to the paper cassette. Force or impact on the cassette may result in paper jams or equipment damage.

• Do not bend or deform the spring located at the rear of the middle cover of the paper cassette.

Spring

• Do not allow too many prints to accumulate in the print output receptacle.

• Do not touch paper while it is being printed. During printing, the sheet repeatedly moves back and forth along the top of the paper cassette and in and out through the paper handling slot. Please do not touch the sheet during this process.

Storing of Ink Cassettes and Paper

• Do not store in locations that are humid or dusty or that reach temperatures above 40°C (104°F), or where exposed to direct sunlight. Inappropriate storage may impair the print quality.

• Remove unused paper from the paper cassette, return it to its original package, and store the package horizontally.

• If you are not planning to use the printer for a while, remove the ink cassette and paper cassette. Close the paper cassette's upper cover.

Maintaining the Quality of Your Prints

• Do not stick any type of adhesive tape onto the print surface.

• Do not allow print surfaces to come into contact with vinyl materials. Keep the print surface away from vinyl desk blotters, vinyl wallets and name-card cases, plastic erasers, etc.

• Do not apply alcohol or other volatile solvents to the print surface. Contact with volatile solvents may cause color loss or color change.

• Do not leave print surfaces tightly pressed against any other surfaces or objects for prolonged periods. Prolonged contact may cause color bleeding.

• Do not store prints in hot, humid, or dusty locations or where exposed to direct sunlight.

• Color change may occur over time in accordance with conditions of storage. Canon assumes no liability for color changes.

• If you wish to mount prints into an album, select an album with nylon-based sleeves, or with propylene or cellophane sleeves. Other types of sleeves may cause color loss or color bleeding.

Checking Your Ink/Paper Sets

• When opening an ink/paper set (color ink/ paper or color ink/label set), check the contents. If something seems to be missing or appears to be damaged, contact the dealer for assistance.

The printer outputs the finished prints into the receptacle onto the top of the printer cassette. Be sure to close the middle cover so that output can proceed normally.

• Please use specified paper types only.

• Be sure to fan the paper stack (so that the sheets won’t stick together) before loading the paper into the cassette.

• Please also refer to “Proper Usage and Handling” for advice about proper paper handling. ( p. 12)

• Do not bend or tear off perforated edges on the paper prior to printing. Doing so may cause the part of the ink sheet to be wasted. (The ink sheet is just long enough to print to all of the paper in the ink/paper set. Wasting part of the ink sheet will cause it to run out too soon.)

• Never print on a sheet of paper more than once, even if the first printing has left the paper completely blank. The coating applied to the paper as it passes through the printer makes it unsuitable for further use. Reused paper may stick to the ink sheet, resulting in damage to the printer.

• Do not remove the paper cassette while feeding, printing, or ejection is in progress.

Loading the Ink Cassette

Open the ink cassette
