FB620P incorporate the following special features.
Compact Footprint
Ultra compact body [256.0 x 372.5 x 63 millimeters (10.1 x 14.7 x 2.5 inches)]
for an A4/Letter-size scanner. Weighing only 2.0 kilograms (4.4 pounds),
this scanner is so light that it can easily be placed or moved to suit your
convenience.
Simple Connection to a Parallel Port
Easily connected to your computer’s parallel (printer) port with a single
cable (supplied). Your existing printer connects to the scanner’s second
parallel port, creating a daisy chain configuration. See Precautions with
Printers, p.69 of this guide.
Standby Power and Energy-Saving Features
Convenient standby power feature means that the scanner is always ready
to use. On continuous standby operation, it consumes a mere 2.5 watts per
hour and only 5 watts per hour in full operation.
8
Fine Colour Tones and High Resolution
Scanning method employs proprietary Canon LIDE scanning technology in
an ultrahigh-sensitivity CIS (contact image sensor). Reading 10 bits (1,024
colors) per red, green and blue (RGB) channel, the scanner offers 8-bit
output that reproduces brilliant tones at high resolution.

Safety Precautions
The following precautions should be observed in handling the equipment described in
this guide.
Safe Locations
• Place the equipment on a flat, level and stable surface.
• Operate the equipment within the following parameters.
Temperature range: 5-35°C (41-95°F)
Humidity range: 10%-90% relative humidity (without condensation)
• Do not place the equipment in places subject to direct sunlight or high
temperatures, which may raise the interior heat level and lead to equipment damage or degraded performance. Use curtains if locations subject
to direct sunlight are unavoidable.
• The parallel cable provided with the scanner is 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) long.
Place the scanner within reach of the computer using this cable. Use this
cable only. Do not substitute other cables.
• Do not place the equipment in areas subject to rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Refrain from moving the equipment between such
environments to avoid the formation of interior condensation, which
degrades performance. Allow scanner to adjust slowly to the new environment before using it if it is moved between temperature extremes.
10
• Do not place the scanner in close proximity to TVs, speakers or other
devices generating magnetic or electromagnetic fields. Magnetic interference may cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the scanner in environments subject to vibration, smoke,
mist or excessive dust.
• Do not place the scanner in laboratories or other environments in which
chemical reactions are conducted. Avoid locations subject to salty or
greasy air or other corrosive gases and fumes. These locations may damage the equipment.
• Leave space around the equipment as shown below.
20 cm
(8 inches)
10 cm
(4 inches)
10 cm
(4 inches)
• Position the scanner so that its feet are securely in contact with the
supporting surface. If the feet are not fully supported, the unit may fall
over or fall down and cause an injury.
11
About the Power Supply
• Do not use an AC adapter other than the one supplied with the scanner.
Other adapters may damage the equipment.
• Avoid plugging in numerous devices to the same electrical outlet. If
possible, plug the scanner into a dedicated outlet. Devices sharing the
outlet will drop the voltage and create static, reducing the scanner’s
performance. If sharing is unavoidable, use a voltage regulating power
supply or a noise reduction device.
• Check to ensure that the electrical outlet supplying the equipment has
sufficient capacity.
• If the AC adapter is used with an extension, ensure that the total power
cord length is no greater than 5 meters (16 feet). Longer cords will drop
the voltage and may degrade scanner performance.
• Do not handle the AC adapter with wet hands to prevent the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not continue using an AC adapter with a frayed, damaged or modified power cord.
• Avoid frequent unplugging and plugging in of the AC adapter. It may
result in a poor electrical connection.
12
General Handling Precautions
• Prevent foreign substances, such as water and other liquids, metallic
objects and flammable substances, from entering the equipment. Contact
with foreign substances may lead to damage to the equipment, fire,
electric shock and injury.
• Do not drop or jolt the equipment.
• Always disconnect the AC adapter before attaching or disconnecting any
cables.
• Do not place heavy objects or step on the AC adapter body or cord.
• Keep the area around the electrical outlet free of obstacles so that the AC
adapter can be readily removed.
• Do not plug the AC adapter into the electrical outlet before plugging the
power cord plug into the scanner. Plugging it into the electrical outlet
first may damage the equipment.
• Disconnect the AC adapter by gripping the body not the cord.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or repair any part of the equipment
that is not expressly prescribed in this guide.
• Remove the AC adapter before performing any maintenance procedures
on the equipment.
• Do not place heavy objects on the document cover. Placing such objects
may distort the document cover.
• Do not use liquid or aerosol detergents to clean the exterior of the
equipment.
13
• Clean the equipment with a well-wrung, damp soft cloth
• Do not lubricate the equipment.
• Power down the equipment and wait until it has cooled before draping a
dust cover over it.
• Do not play the CD-ROM in an audio CD player. The loud volume of its
contents may lead to ear damage.
• Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
• Disconnect the AC adapter as a safety precaution if the equipment will
not be used over an extended period, such as long holidays.
• Disconnect the AC adapter immediately and contact your Canon vender if
any of the following should arise:
the AC adapter or cord incur damage
liquids or metallic objects are introduced to the equipment’s interior
the equipment is subjected to rain or water
the main unit is dropped or damaged
the equipment undergoes a obvious change in performance
the equipment generates smoke, strange smells or unusual noises
