1. Important Safety Instructions

To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings and precautions described below.

Installation Location

The performance of this scanner is affected by the
environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the
location where the scanner is installed meets the following
environmental requirements.

● Provide adequate space around the scanner for
operation, maintenance, and ventilation.

3.9" (100 mm) or more

24.84" (631 mm) or more

32.20" (818 mm) or more

● Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If
this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the
scanner.

● Avoid locations where a considerable amount of
dust accumulates.

● Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the
vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or
humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes
from ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile
chemicals may be present.

● Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.

● Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in

temperature. If the room in which the scanner is
installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the scanner. This
may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning
quality.

The following conditions are recommended for
optimal scanning quality:
Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to

90.5 °F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% RH

● Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that
generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers,
televisions, or radios).

Power

● Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage
and power supply frequency (either 120 V, 60 Hz
or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, depending on your
region).

● Do not use the scanner with a power supply that is
not rated for the specified voltage. Doing so might
cause fire or electric shock.

● Do not connect other electrical equipment to the
same power outlet to which the scanner is
connected. Also, when using an extension cord,
make sure that the extension cord is rated for the
current requirements of the scanner.

● The power cord may become damaged if it is often
stepped on or if heavy objects are placed on it.
Continued use of a damaged power cord can lead
to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.

2

● Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.

● Do not pull directly on the power cord. When

disconnecting the power cord, grasp the plug and
remove it from the outlet.

● Keep the area around the power plug clear of
objects so that the power cord can be
disconnected easily in an emergency.

● If you have any questions regarding the power
supply, contact your local authorized Canon dealer
or service representative for further information.

Moving the Scanner

● The scanner weights about 50 lbs (22.5 kg).
To lift or move the scanner, always use two
people, one on each side. Never attempt to lift the
scanner by yourself. You could drop the scanner or
pinch your fingers, resulting in personal injury or
damage to the scanner. Remember to be extra
careful when moving it.

● Make sure to disconnect the interface cable and
power cord when moving the scanner. If the
scanner is carried with these items connected, the
plugs and connectors may be damaged or cause
the scanner to fall and result in personal injury or
damage to the scanner.

Handling

WARNING

Note the following precautions whenever using the
scanner. Failure to do so may result in a fire or
electric shock.

■ Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, aerosol
sprays, or any other highly flammable substance
near the scanner.

■ Do not cut, damage, or modify the power cord. Do
not place heavy objects on the power cord, and do
not pull or excessively bend the power cord.

■ Never connect the power cord when your hands
are wet.

■ Do not connect the scanner to a multiplug power
strip.

■ Do not knot or coil the power cord, as this may
result in a fire or electric shock. When connecting
the power cord, make sure that the power plug is
securely and completely inserted into the power
outlet.

■ To use a reel-type extension cord, unwind all of the
cord from the reel. Long-term operation with the
cord wound on the reel may cause the cord to
overheat and could cause a fire.

■ Do not use power cords other than the power cord
provided with this scanner.

■ Never try to take the scanner apart or modify it in
any way, as this is dangerous and may lead to a
fire or electric shock.

■ Do not use flammable aerosol sprays products
near the scanner.

■ When cleaning the scanner, turn the power switch
OFF and disconnect the power plug from the
power supply.

■ Clean the scanner using a slightly dampened cloth
which has been well wrung out. Never use alcohol,
benzene, paint thinner, or any other flammable
substances.

■ If the scanner makes strange noises, or gives off
smoke, heat, or strange odors, or the scanner
does not function or other abnormalities occur
when you use the scanner, immediately turn the
power switch OFF, and disconnect the power plug
from the power outlet. Then, contact your local
authorized Canon dealer or service representative
for further information.

■ Do not drop the scanner, or subject it to impact or
strong shock. Should the scanner ever become
damaged, immediately turn the power switch OFF,
and disconnect the power plug from the power
outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon
dealer or service representative to have the unit
serviced.

■ Before moving the scanner, make sure to turn the
power switch OFF, and disconnect the power plug
from the power outlet.

CAUTION

■ Do not install the scanner on a surface that is
unstable or tilted, or in an area subject to
excessive vibrations, as this may cause the
scanner to fall, resulting in personal injury or
damage to the scanner.

■ Do not block the ventilation openings. Doing so
could case the scanner to overheat, creating a risk
of fire.

■ Never place small metal objects such as staples,
paper clips, or jewelry on the scanner. These items
may fall into the scanner, and cause a fire or
electric shock. Should such objects ever fall inside
the scanner, immediately turn the power switch
OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized
Canon dealer or service representative to have the
unit serviced.

■ Do not locate the scanner in a humid or dusty
location. Doing so may cause a fire or electric
shock.

■ Do not place objects on top of the scanner. Such
objects may tip or fall over, resulting in personal
injury.

■ When unplugging the power cord, grasp it firmly by
its plug. Do not pull directly on the power cord, as
this may damage or expose the cord’s internal
wiring, resulting in a fire or electric shock.

■ Leave sufficient space around the power plug so
that it can be unplugged easily. If objects are
placed around the power plug, you will be unable
to unplug it in an emergency.

■ Do not allow water or flammable substances
(alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill into
the scanner, as this may result in a fire or electric
shock.

■ Turn OFF the power switch for safety when not
using the scanner for a long period of time, such as
overnight. Also, turn OFF the power switch, and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet
for safety when the machine will not be used for an
extended period of time, such as during
consecutive holidays.

4

■ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get
caught in the scanner while you are using it. This
may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of
neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught
in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power
cord to stop the scanner.

■ Be careful when placing paper in the scanner and
when removing jammed paper. It is possible to cut
your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.

The scanner supports MultiStream, which, depending
on the software application, can create two images with
different scanning conditions from a single scan pass.
However, this function is only available when using
CapturePerfect 3.0 (supplied with the scanner) or
another application program that supports the Multi­Stream function.

Other Functions

● Rapid Recovery System

When this function is activated and a sensor detects a
misfeed due to a paper jam or double feed, which causes
feeding to stop, scanning pauses to allow you to correct
the cause of the misfeed, after which scanning continues
from the document page on which the abnormality was
detected. (See “Clearing a Paper Jam or Double Feed
Error” on p. 32.)

* The Rapid Recovery System is effective when feeding

stops as a result of detection of a Paper Jam, Double Feed,
Skew, or Staple.

Options

● Imprinter (Option)

As an option, printing can be made on scanned
documents.

● Barcode Detection (Option)

Barcodes on documents can be detected by installing
the optional barcode module.

● Patchcode Support (Option)

By installing the optional patchcode decoder, patch
code sheets inserted between document pages can be
detected for batch separation.
