Read This First

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” or “compact power adapter” throughout this guide.

WARNINGS

Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data CD-ROMs. Playing the CD-ROM(s) in an audio CD player (music player) could damage the speakers. It is also possible to suffer from hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of a CD-ROM played on a music CD player.

 Devices

If the devices emit smoke or a burning odor, or show other signs of significant malfunction, immediately unplug the power cord from the power 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 casing becomes damaged, unplug the power cord from the power 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 power cord from the power 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 adjustments 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 devices to the same outlet may result in fire. Check that the voltage of the outlet is compatible with the devices before plugging them in.

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

Do not plug in or unplug the power cord while your hands are wet, as this may result in electric shock. When unplugging the power cord, hold it firmly at the plug area. Do not pull

directly on the cord, as this may damage or expose the cord’s internal wiring, resulting in risk of fire or electric shock.

Be sure that the power cord 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 cord. Damage to the cord may result in the exposure of live wires, fire, or electric shock.

Keep the power cord 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 cord 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 power cord. Continued use of a damaged power cord poses risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not excessively bend or twist the power cord. Doing so may damage the cord. Continued use of a damaged cable poses risk of fire or equipment failure. Leave about 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the devices and 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance on both sides to ensure adequate ventilation.

Do not pull on the power cord. Doing so may damage the power cord. Continued use of a damaged cord poses risk of fire or electric shock. Always hold the cord 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 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 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the front and back of the devices and 10 cm

(4 in.) of clearance on both sides. 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.

Place the printer so that the air vents on the back will not be blocked.

If the air vents blocked, the printer interior could heat up, causing the printer to temporarily stop.

 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. 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. If dirt or foreign objects enter the printer,

print quality may deteriorate. 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.

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.

 Overheating

If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. This does not mean that the printer has malfunctioned. The printer will resume 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 on the back of the printer are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.

 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 plastic bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room temperature before using it. Stop using the printer immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the equipment. Wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

 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

Please use only the ink cassettes specified for use by Canon. 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 touch or pull on the ink sheet. Do not handle the ink cassettes with wet or sweaty hands. Allow ink cassettes to reach room temperature before installing and using them.

Condensation may form if you suddenly move ink cassettes from a cold location to a warm location. If there is risk of condensation, leave the cassette in its packaging until it reaches room temperature, and wipe away any moisture before loading it.

If you are not planning to use the printer for a while, remove and store the ink cassette.
