an ultrahigh-sensitivity CIS (contact image sensor). Reading 12 bits (4,096
colors) per red, green and blue (RGB) channel, the scanner offers 8-bit
output that reproduces brilliant tones at high resolution.

About the Power Supply
WARNING
• Do not damage, mutilate or modify the power cord or AC adapter. Do not place
heavy objects on, pull or excessively bend the power cord. Damaged wires may cause
fire or electric shocks.
• Do not plug/unplug the AC adapter with wet hands. You may be electrocuted.
• Do not connect excessive numbers of plugs into one electrical outlet. It could cause
fires or electric shocks.
• Do not twist or tie electrical cords together. It could cause fires or electric shocks.
• Always plug power cords or AC adapters in all the way. If not plugged in completely,
they may cause fires or electric shocks.
• As a rule, do not use electrical extension cords. They could cause fire or electric
shocks. If the use of an extension cord is necessary, do not use one longer than 15 ft.
(5 m). Make sure that the extension cord is not twisted, the connection between the
11
power cord and the extension cord is secure and the AC adapter is fully plugged in.
Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Do not use extension cords in high traffic areas where they can be stepped on or
tripped over, which may damage the cords. Damaged wires could cause fires or
electric shocks.
CAUTION
• Do not use wrong voltage outlet. It could cause fires or electric shocks.
• When unplugging the AC adapter, always pull on the main body of the adapter. Do
not pull the AC adapter out by the cord, which may damage the wires and lead to
fire or electric shock.
• Do not place objects around the AC adapter in case it needs to be unplugged during
emergencies.
General Handling Precautions
WARNING
• Do not take apart or modify the equipment. There are high voltage parts within that
could cause fire or electric shocks if exposed.
• 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 fires or electric shocks.
• 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, fires or electric 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 you could
cause a fire or receive an electric shock.
• 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, it may cause fires or electric shocks.
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 equipment
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 it may
cause a fire.
• Do not use the supplied CD-ROM in regular CD players. It produces excessively loud
sound that may cause hearing damage.
• 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 all dust is removed. If dust
accumulates in this area, it may result in a fire.

• 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 or
humidity. Also do not move the equipment from high humidity areas to low humidity areas. Condensation may cause image errors. After moving from high humidity
areas to low humidity areas, 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 decreased image quality. If you have to
use the scanner in direct sunlight, make sure to use a thick curtain to block the light.
• Locations to Avoid:
Uneven or stepped surfaces
High-temperature environments

Environments subject to shocks,
smoke, noxious fumes, water vapor or
dust
Locations near TVs or devices generat-
ing strong magnetic fields
Environments in which the air is salty or
greasy
Locations subject to strong direct
