Safety Precautions

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

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

•“Devices” refers to the “printer, compact power adapter, battery pack (optional) or charge adapter (optional)” throughout this guide.

WARNINGS

Devices

If the devices emit smoke or a burning odor, or show other signs of significant malfunction, immediately unplug the AC 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 devices are dropped or the devices casing becomes damaged, unplug the AC 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 devices. If liquid splashes onto the devices, wipe the devices dry using a soft absorbent cloth. If liquid spills into the devices or an object falls into the devices, immediately unplug the AC 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 devices. Use of such solvents poses a fire risk.

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

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

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

Power

Do not exceed the cable and power outlet ratings when operating this product. Do not operate this product outside of the specified voltage rating. Connecting too many lines to the same outlet may result in fire. Check that the voltage of the outlet is compatible with the devices before them in.

If the AC 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 AC 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 AC 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 AC cable. Damage to the cable may result in the exposure of live wires, fire, or electric shock.

Keep the AC 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 AC 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 devices on an unstable or tilted table or desk, as there is risk that the devices may fall and cause injury.

CAUTIONS

Devices

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 devices in a well-ventilated area.

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

Unplug the devices when you are not using them. If the devices remain plugged in, there is risk that accidental contact with the device’s internal parts may cause electric shock. Leaving the devices 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 place your hand into the paper cassette slot.

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

Power

Do not move the devices while they are plugged in. Doing so may damage the AC cable. Continued use of a damaged AC cable poses risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not excessively bend or twist the AC 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 devices to ensure adequate ventilation.

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

Do not leave the devices 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 devices and pose risk of fire.

Do not use the devices 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 devices close to TV sets or AM radios. Devices’ 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, level 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

• Please avoid turning the printer’s power on and off needlessly as the printer initialization consumes ink: There may not be enough ink left for the allotted sheets in the set.

• 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.

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.

The printer will resume normal printing as soon as it

This does not mean that

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, Paper Cassettes, 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

Ink Sheet

• Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet.

• 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 on 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. Do not insert more than 18 sheets in the paper cassette. Overloading the cassette may damage the printer.

• Do not open the ink cassette cover while printing is in progress, and do not 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 allow more than 9 sheets 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.

Maintaining the Quality of Your Prints

• 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.

• 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.

Storage

• 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.

Others

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

• Charge the battery pack using the compact power adapter supplied with the printer.

• When using the battery pack (optional), if the battery status is low, the finished print may not be ejected into the print output receptacle completely. If this happens, please pull out the paper.
