● Use a damp, well wrung-out cloth to clean the machine. Dampen cleaning cloths with water only. Do not use

alcohol, benzenes, paint thinners, or other ammable substances. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels. If these substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, they may generate static electricity or result in a re or electrical shock.

● Check the power cord and plug periodically for damage. Check the machine for rust, dents, scratches,

cracks, or excessive heat generation. Use of poorly-maintained equipment may result in a re or electrical shock.

Important Safety Instructions

Consumables

● Do not dispose of used toner cartridges or the like in open ames. Also, do not store toner cartridges or

paper in a location exposed to open ames. This may cause the toner to ignite, and result in burns or r

● If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a

soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.

If you are using a cardiac pacemaker

● The toner cartridge generates a low level magnetic ux. If you are using a cardiac pacemaker and feel

abnormalities, please move away from the toner cartridge and consult your physician immediately.

29X5-005

● Use caution not to inhale any toner. If you should inhale toner, consult a physician immediately.

● Use caution so that toner does not get into your eyes or mouth. If toner should get into your eyes or mouth,

immediately wash with cold water and consult a physician.

● Use caution so that toner does not come into contact with your skin. If it should, wash with soap and cold

water. If there is any irritation on your skin, consult a physician immediately.

● Keep the toner cartridges and other consumables out of the r

consult a physician or poison control center immediately.

● Do not disassemble or modify the toner cartridge or the like. Doing so may cause the toner to scatter.

● When removing the sealing tape from the toner cartridge, pull it out completely but without using excessive

force. Doing otherwise may cause the toner to scatter.

each of small children. If toner is ingested,

Handling the toner cartridge

● Be sure to hold the toner cartridge using the handle.

● Do not touch the toner cartridge memory ( ) or the electrical contacts ( ). To avoid scratching the

surface of the drum inside the machine or exposing it to light, do not open the drum protective shutter ( ).

Important Safety Instructions

● Except when necessary, do not take out the toner cartridge from the packing material or from this machine.

● The toner cartridge is a magnetic product. Do not move it close to products susceptible to magnetism

including

oppy disks and disk drives. Doing so may result in data corruption.

Storing the toner cartridge

● Store in the following environment to ensure safe and satisfactory use.

Storage temperature range: 0 °C to 35 °C

Storage humidity range: 35 % to 85 % RH (relative humidity/no condensation)

● Store without opening until the toner cartridge is to be used.

● When removing the toner cartridge from this machine for storage, place the removed toner cartridge in the

original packing material.

● When storing the toner cartridge, do not store it upright or upside down. The toner will solidify and may not

return to its original condition even if it is shaken.

Even within the storable humidity range, water droplets (condensation) may develop inside the toner cartridge if there is a difference of temperature inside and outside the toner cartridge. Condensation will adversely affect the print quality of toner cartridges.

Do not store the toner cartridge in the following locations

● Locations exposed to open ames

● Locations exposed to direct sunlight or bright light for ve minutes or more

● Locations exposed to excessive salty air

● Locations where there are corrosive gases (i.e. aerosol sprays and ammonia)

● Locations subject to high temperature and high humidity

● Locations subject to dramatic changes in temperature and humidity where condensation may easily occur

● Locations with a large amount of dust

● Locations within the reach of children

Be careful of counterfeit toner cartridges

● Please be aware that there are counterfeit Canon toner cartridges in the marketplace. Use of counterfeit

toner cartridge may result in poor print quality or machine performance. Canon is not responsible for any malfunction, accident or damage caused by the use of counterfeit toner cartridge. For more information, see canon.com/counterfeit.

Availability period of repairing parts and toner cartridges and the like

● The repairing parts and toner cartridges and the like for the machine will be available for at least seven (7)

years after production of this machine model has been discontinued.

Toner cartridge packing materials

● Save the packing materials for the toner cartridge. They are required when transporting this machine.

Important Safety Instructions

● The packing materials may be changed in form or placement, or may be added or removed without notice.

● After you pull out the sealing tape from the toner cartridge, dispose of it in accordance with the applicable

local r

egulations.

When disposing of a used toner cartridge or the like

● When discarding a toner cartridge or the like, place it in the original packing material to prevent toner from

scattering from inside, and dispose of it in accordance with the applicable local regulations.

Preventing Unauthorized Access

29X5-009

This section describes the security measures on how to prevent unauthorized access fr a must-read for all users and administrators before using this machine, other printers, and multifunction machines connected to the network. In recent years, a printer/multifunction machine connected to the network can offer you a variety of useful functions, such as printing from a computer, operating from a computer using the remote function, and sending scanned documents via the Internet. On the other hand, it is essential to take security measures to reduce the security risk for information leakage, as a printer/multifunction machine has become more exposed to threats, such as unauthorized access and theft, when it is connected to the network. This section explains necessary settings you need to specify to prevent unauthorized access before using a printer/multifunction machine connected to the network.

Assigning a Private IP Address

An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device participating in a computer network. A "global IP address" is used for the communication connecting to the Internet, and a "private IP address" is used for the communication within a local area network, such as a LAN in the company. If a global IP address is assigned, your printer/ multifunction machine is open to the public and can be accessed via the Internet. Thus, the risk of information leakage due to unauthorized access from external network increases. On the other hand, if a private IP address is assigned, your printer/multifunction machine is closed to a local area network and can be accessed by only users on your local area network, such as a LAN in the company.

Global IP Address

Can be accessed from the external network

Basically, assign a private IP address to your printer/multifunction machine. Make sure to conrm the IP address, assigned to the printer/multifunction machine you are using, is a private IP address or not. A private IP address is found in one of the following ranges.

access from the external networks. If you want to assign a global IP address to and use a printer/ multifunction machine, contact your network administrator.

Using Firewall to Restrict Transmission

A rewall is a system that prevents unauthorized access fr intrusions to a local area network. You can use a rewall on your network environment to block access from the external network that appears to be dangerous, by restricting communication from specied IP address of the external network. The function installed to a Canon printer/multifunction machine enables you to set up the IP address lter. For information on how to set up an IP address lter, see Settings(P. 223) .
