Please read and take note of the following precautions before using the equipment.

WARNING

Indicates a warning concerning operations that may lead to death or injury to
persons if not performed correctly. In order to use the equipment safely, always pay
attention to these warnings.

CAUTION

Indicates a caution concerning operations that may lead to injury to persons or
damage to property if not performed correctly. In order to use the equipment
safely, always pay attention to these cautions.

About Locations

WARNING

• Do not place the equipment near flammable liquids such as alcohol or thinners. If
the internal electrical parts come in contact with flammable liquids, fire or electrical
shock may result.

• Do not place the following objects on top of the equipment. If the internal
electrical parts come in contact with these objects, fire or electrical shock may
result.

- metallic objects, such as necklaces

- containers with liquid, such as cups, vases and flower pots

• Do not place the equipment on shaky stands, unstable surfaces or surfaces subject
to frequent vibrations. If the equipment falls, it may cause injuries.

• Do not place heavy objects on the equipment. Objects may fall and cause injuries.

About the Power Supply

WARNING

• Do not damage, mutilate or modify the AC adapter. Do not place heavy objects on,
pull or excessively bend the cord of the AC adapter. Damaged wires may cause fire
or electrical shock.

• Do not plug in/unplug the AC adapter with wet hands. Fire or electrical shock may
result.

• Do not connect excessive numbers of plugs into one electrical outlet. Fire or
electrical shock may result.

• Do not twist or tie the AC adapter together. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Always plug the AC adapter in all the way. If it is not plugged in completely, fire or
electrical shock may result.

• Do not use AC adapters other than the one supplied. Fire or electrical shock may
result.

• As a rule, do not use electrical extension cords. Fire or electrical shock may result. If
the use of an extension cord is necessary, do not use one longer than 5 m (15 feet).
Make sure that the extension cord is not twisted, and that the AC adapter is fully
plugged into the extension cord. Do not use multiple extension cords.

• Do not use extension cords in corridors or other high traffic areas where they can
be stepped on or tripped over. This could damage the cords and result in fire or
electrical shock.

• Do not use the AC adapter outdoors or in exposed areas.

5

CAUTION

• Do not plug the equipment into outlets with voltages other than the specified
voltages. Incorrect voltages may result in fire or electrical shock.

• When unplugging the AC adapter, always pull on the main body. Pulling on the
cord may damage the wires and lead to fire or electrical shock.

• Do not place objects around the AC adapter in case it needs to be unplugged
during emergencies.

• Unplug the AC adapter from the outlet at least once a year and clean the area
around the base of the AC adapter’s metal pins to ensure that all dust is removed. If
dust accumulates in this area, it may result in fire.

General Handling Precautions

WARNING

• Do not take apart or modify the equipment. Fire or electrical shock may result from
improper handling of its components.

• If you hear unusual noises, see smoke, feel excessive heat or smell anything
unusual, immediately unplug the AC adapter and contact your retailer or Canon
Customer Support Help Desk. Continued use may result in fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use flammable sprays near this equipment. Also do not spill water, liquids,
or flammable liquids on the equipment. If these fluids enter this equipment and
contact the electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may result. If anything enters
the equipment, immediately unplug the AC adapter and contact your retailer or
Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• When cleaning the equipment, always unplug the AC adapter. Otherwise, fire or
electrical shock may result.

• When cleaning the equipment, use a water-moistened cloth that is well wrung out.
Do not use flammable liquids, such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If a flammable
liquid enters the inner electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may result.

CAUTION

• Carefully close the document cover in order not to pinch your hands.

• Do not press heavily on the document cover. The document glass may break and
injure you.

• When not in use for extended periods, such as long weekends, unplug the AC
adapter for safety.

• When transporting the equipment, be extremely careful. Dropping it could cause
an injury.

• Wait until the equipment has cooled before placing a cover over it. Otherwise fire
may result.

• Do not use the supplied CD-ROM in regular CD players. It produces excessively loud
sound that may cause hearing damage.

Setup and Operating Conditions

• Please use in an area where the following temperature and humidity conditions can be met.

Surrounding temperature:

10 degrees - 35 degrees C (50 degrees - 95 degrees F)

Surrounding humidity:

10% - 90% RH (without condensation)

• Please use where the electrical conditions (normal home outlets) can be met in your
country.

• Make certain there is plenty of clear space around the scanner.
(Below is a diagram looking straight down on the scanner)

Approx. 20 cm
(8 in)

(4 in)

• Set up the scanner so that the cable reaches from the scanner to the electrical outlet.

• Do not set up in areas where there is an excessive fluctuation in temperature. Also do not
move the equipment from low temperature areas to hight temperature areas.
Condensation may cause image errors. Leave the scanner enough time to gradually adapt
to the new conditions before use.

• Do not use the scanner in areas subject to direct sunlight. The humidity may rise inside the
equipment and cause damage or decrease image quality. If you have to use the scanner in
direct sunlight, make sure to use a thick curtain to block the light.

2. When cleaning the document cover or document glass, dampen
a clean, soft cloth with water and wring the cloth well. Use the
well-wrung cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Then,
thoroughly remove any moisture or water vapor with a soft,
dry cloth. Be particularly careful to remove any traces of dirt or
liquid when wiping the document glass.

• Moisture left on the document glass or cover may damage photographs and other
documents as well as produce poor results.

• Do not dampen the connectors, ports or other metallic components on the scanner’s
back panel. Immediately remove any moisture that contacts these components by
wiping them with a dry cloth.

• Do not use a sodden cloth or apply a liquid directly to any portion of the scanner.
Any moisture that enters the interior, the underside of the document glass or the
sensors may degrade image quality and lead to malfunctions.

• Never use substances containing alcohol, thinners or benzene on the equipment.
Use of these substances may deform, discolor or dissolve the casing.

exchanged between graphics application programs and input devices, such as scanners. A device
driver based on these standards is called a TWAIN driver.

• ScanGear CS-U is not a stand-alone program that can be started by itself. It is used as a TWAIN
driver. Start the application program first, then start ScanGear CS-U from within the program.
The images scanned while both programs are running will be directly loaded into the
application program (the application program must comply with the TWAIN_32 standard).

Photoshop LE

Start TWAIN driver from within
an application program.

• The methods for starting TWAIN drivers vary between application programs. See the respective
manuals for other programs.

Precautions for Scanning at High Resolutions

Please note that file sizes increase almost exponentially as the resolution is raised when scanning in
color mode. Scanning at high resolutions may require more time for scanning and image processing.
You are recommended to avoid raising the resolution beyond the minimum requirement to scan in
color mode.

Resolution Guidelines

• For uploading to a web site or viewing on a computer monitor, choose 75 dpi

• For scanning print photos and magazine clippings, choose 150 - 300 dpi

• For printing on a inkjet printer, choose a resolution approximately half the printer’s rating (180 dpi,
360 dpi, 720 dpi)

A resolution higher than 600 dpi is effective in case for scanning relatively small originals that will be
blown up to larger sizes for printing.
