Preface

Thank you for choosing a Canon product. Before using the machine, please read the
following instructions for your safety.

Important Safety Instructions

Please read these “Important Safety Instructions” thoroughly before operating the
machine. As these instructions are intended to prevent injury to the user or other persons
or destruction of property, always pay attention to these instructions. Also, since it may
result in unexpected accidents or injuries, do not perform any operation unless otherwise
specified in the manual. Improper operation or use of this machine could result in personal
injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered under your
Limited Warranty.

Handling and Maintenance

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are high‑temperature and

–

high‑voltage components inside the machine which may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
If the machine makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or strange smells,

–

immediately turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Then, contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or the Canon Customer
Care Center. Continued use of the machine in this condition may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not use highly flammable sprays near the machine. If gas from these sprays comes

–

into contact with the electrical components inside the machine, this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn off the main

–

power switch, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine. Otherwise, the
power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

xvii

Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do

–

not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, etc.)
inside the machine. If these items come into contact with a high‑voltage area inside the
machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped or spilled
inside the machine, immediately turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the
power cord from the power outlet. Then contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or
the Canon Customer Care Center.
Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in

–

personal injury.
Close the feeder gently to avoid catching your hands, as this may result in personal injury.

–

What Can I Do with This Machine?

Do not press down hard on the feeder when using the platen glass to make copies of

–

thick books. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in personal injury.
Do not put your hand close to the rollers on the output tray. The machine may suddenly

–

begin to print even if it is not in operation, causing your clothing or fingers to become
caught in the machine and resulting in injury.
If the laser beam escapes from the machine, exposure may cause serious damage to your

–

eyes.
The laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the

–

product is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser
beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. Read the
following remarks and instructions for safety.
Be careful when removing printed paper from output trays or when aligning it, because it

–

may be hot and result in burn injury.
Turn off the control panel power switch for safety when the machine will not be used

–

for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn off the main power switch, and
disconnect the power cord for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended
period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.

xviii

Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.

–

Do not remove the caution label attached to the fixing unit and the duplex unit.

–

When cleaning the machine, first turn off the main power switch, and then disconnect

–

the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around

–

the base of the power plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure
that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of
time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and
become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with

–

water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check
detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a
high‑voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.

–

There are some area inside the machine which are subject to high‑voltage. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this
may result in burns or electrical shock.
Do not burn or throw used cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner

–

remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

xix

The fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings inside the machine may become

–

hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the
machine, do not touch the fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings, as doing
so may result in burns.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

When removing jammed paper or replacing the cartridge, take care not to allow the

–

toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or
clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing them
with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the

–

jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into
your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately
with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
When loading paper or removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your

–

hands on the edges of the originals or paper.
When removing a used cartridge, remove the cartridge carefully to prevent the toner

–

from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or
mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
The machine is heavy, and requires two or more people to lift it. Therefore, do not

–

attempt to move it by yourself. Doing so may result in personal injury.
Do not lift the machine by any of its attachments.

–

xx

When carrying the machine, be sure to hold the parts indicated below. Failure to do so

–

may cause the machine to be dropped and result in injury.

If you have a back problem, make sure to check the weight of this machine before

–

carrying. (See “Specifications,” on p. 13‑2.)

Location

Do not install the machine near alcohol, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. If

–

flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, it may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not place the following items on the machine. If these items come into contact with

–

a high‑voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these
items are dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn off the main power
switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact Canon
Authorized Service Facilities or the Canon Customer Care Center.

Necklaces and other metal objects

–

Cups, vases, flowerpots, and other containers filled with water or liquids

–

What Can I Do with This Machine?

xxi

Do not install the machine in unstable locations, such as on unsteady platforms or

4" (100 mm) or more

49 1/4" (1,249 mm)*

* The depth is 50 5/8"(1,281mm) when
the cartridge holder is pulled out.

40" (1,016 mm)

–

inclined floors, or in locations subject to excessive vibrations, as this may cause the
machine to fall or tip over, resulting in personal injury.
Never block the ventilation slots and louvers on the machine. These openings are

–

provided for proper ventilation of working parts inside the machine. Blocking these
openings can cause the machine to overheat. Never place the machine on a soft surface,
such as a sofa or rug.
Do not install the machine in the following locations:

–

A damp or dusty location

–

A location near water faucets or water

–

A location exposed to direct sunlight

–

A location subject to high temperatures

–

A location near open flames

What Can I Do with This Machine?

–
Provide enough space on each side of the machine for unrestricted operation.

–

Be sure to provide enough space over the top of the machine to be able to open the

–

feeder properly.

xxii

Power Supply

Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the power

–

cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical damage and result in
a fire or electrical shock.
Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the power

–

cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands, as this may result in

–

electrical shock.
Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may cause a fire or

–

electrical shock.
Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or electrical

–

shock.
Insert the power plug completely into the power outlet, as failure to do so may result in a

–

fire or electrical shock.
Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result in a fire or

–

electrical shock.
As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in a fire

–

or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated for voltages
of 120 V AC and over, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug completely into
the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the power cord and the
extension cord.
Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as this may

–

result in a fire or electrical shock.
Always grasp the power plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling on the power

–

cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If the
power cord is damaged, this could cause current to leak, resulting in a fire or electrical
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.
Make sure that the power supply for the machine is safe, and has a steady voltage.

–

Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to which the

–

machine is connected.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

xxiii

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.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

Preinstallation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment

A. Location

Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk for the machine. See p. 13‑2 for specific dimensions
and weight.

B. Order Information

1. A single telephone line (touch‑tone or rotary) should be used.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

2. Order an RJ11‑C telephone wall jack (USOC), which should be installed by the telephone
company. If the RJ11‑C wall jack is not present, telephone/facsimile operation is not
possible.

3. Order a normal business line from your telephone company’s business representative. The
line should be a regular voice grade line or an equivalent one. Use one line per unit.

DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line
‑or‑
IDDD (International Direct Distance Dial) line if you communicate overseas

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, i.e., 2,500 (touch‑tone) or 500
(rotary/pulse dial) telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX (Private Branch eXchange) unit without
“Call Waiting” can be used with your facsimile unit. Key telephone systems are not recommended because
they send nonstandard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a
facsimile error.

C. Power Requirements

The machine should be connected to a standard 120 volt AC, three‑wire grounded outlet only.
Do not connect this machine to an outlet or power line shared with other appliances that

cause “electrical noise.” Air conditioners, electric typewriters, copiers, and machines of this
sort generate electrical noise that often interferes with communications equipment and the
sending and receiving of documents.

xxxii

Connection of the Equipment

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted
by the ACTA. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the format of US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this
number must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) is used to determine the number of devices that
may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result
in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the
sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 10
is a REN of 1.0).
An FCC compliant telephone line cable and modular plug is provided with this equipment.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premise wiring
using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

In Case of Equipment Malfunction

Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described
in this guide or the Reference Guide, disconnect the equipment from the telephone line
cable and disconnect the power cord. The telephone line cable should not be reconnected
or the main power switch turned ON until the problem is completely resolved. Users
should contact their local authorized Canon Facsimile Service Dealer for the servicing of
equipment.
If your equipment malfunctions, please contact your local authorized Canon dealer
from whom you purchased the equipment (if under warranty), or with whom you have a
servicing contract. If you are not sure who to contact, and have both purchased and are
using the equipment in the U.S.A., please refer to the “SUPPORT” page on Canon U.S.A.’s
Web site (http://www.usa.canon.com).

Rights of the Telephone Company

If this equipment (imageCLASS MF7480/MF7470/MF7460) causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service. The telephone
company also retains the right to make changes in facilities and services that may affect the
operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, the telephone company
is required to give adequate prior notice to the user. However, if advance notice is not
possible, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, the
customer will be advised of his/her right to file a complaint with the FCC if he/she believes

Cartridge

The lifetime of the Canon genuine replacement cartridge is approximately 10,000
pages. The level of toner consumption varies depending on the type of originals
printed. If your average original contains a lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of
the cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner. When you are replacing a
cartridge, be sure to use a cartridge designed for this product. To purchase the Canon
genuine replacement cartridge, contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or Canon
Customer Care Center (U.S.A.:1-800-828-4040, Canada:1-800-652-2666).

Maintaining the Cartridge

Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The

●

magnet inside the cartridge may harm these items.
Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in

●

temperature.
Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five minutes.

●

Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install

●

the cartridge in the machine.

●

the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
Always hold the cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective shutter.

●

Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes

●

caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by shaking the
cartridge.
If there is a toner powder leakage, make sure not to inhale or touch the toner powder. If it

●

comes in contact with your skin, rinse with cold water using soap. If you feel an irritation
on your skin or inhale the powder, consult a doctor immediately.
When removing the cartridge from the machine, make sure to remove it carefully. If not

●

removed with care, the toner powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes
and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor immediately.
Keep the cartridge away from small children. If they ingest the toner powder, consult a

●

doctor immediately.
Do not disassemble the cartridge. The toner powder may scatter and come in contact

●

with your eyes and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor
immediately.

Before Using the Machine

Do not place the cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.

Place the originals on the platen glass when scanning bound originals (such as books and
magazines), heavyweight or lightweight originals, and transparencies.
Feeder

●

Place the originals into the feeder when you want to scan several originals at the same
time, and press (Start). The machine automatically feeds the originals to the scanning
area and scans them. Two‑sided originals can also be automatically turned over and
scanned as two‑sided originals.

Original Sizes

The size of the original is automatically detected, and the original is scanned. If the output
paper in the recipient’s machine is not equal to the scanned size, the original image may be
reduced in size or divided into smaller parts before it is sent.
The machine cannot always detect the size of the original if it is a nonstandard paper size,
such as a book. In this case, specify the size at which you want to scan the original. (See
“Document Size,” on p. 4‑20.)

Loading Paper

To load paper in the paper drawer, see “Set Up the Machine,” in the Starter Guide.

If you are making two‑sided prints, select the Two‑sided mode. The printed paper may crease depending on

–

the moisture absorption condition of the paper, and if you copy the two pages as two one‑sided documents.
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavyweight paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set

–

the paper type, especially if you are using heavyweight paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could
adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service
repair, or the paper could jam.

Into the Stack Bypass

If you are making prints on labels, transparencies, nonstandard paper size stock, or
envelopes, load the paper stock into the stack bypass.

The paper in the stack bypass is fed prior to the paper in the paper drawer.

–

The recommended envelopes are COM10 (#10), MONARCH, DL, ISO‑B5, and ISO‑C5. Using other envelopes

–

may affect the quality of the printout.
When printing from a computer, make sure to set the correct paper size in the printer driver. (See the PCL

–

Driver Guide and the UFR II Driver Guide.)
Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.

–

Depending on the type of heavyweight paper you want to load, if you load multiple sheets of heavyweight

–

paper into the stack bypass, a paper jam may occur. In this case, load only one sheet of heavyweight paper at
a time.
If you are printing on envelopes, do not allow more than 10 envelopes to accumulate in the output tray.

–

Always empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have accumulated.
Envelopes may be creased in the printing process.

–

For high‑quality printouts, use paper recommended by Canon.

1 Open the stack bypass.

Feeding Direction

If the paper size you are going to load into

Original and Paper

the stack bypass is different from the paper
size stored in Stack Bypass Standard Settings,
set Stack Bypass Standard Settings to [Off]
in Common Settings (from the Additional
Functions screen). (See “Setting Paper Size
and Type for the Stack Bypass,” on p. 2‑21.)

2 Adjust the slide guides (A) to

match the size of the paper.

3 Load the paper into the stack

bypass.

Make sure that the height of the paper stack

does not exceed the loading limit mark ( ).

When you use the stack bypass to make

copies, straighten out curled paper prior to

use, as shown below.

2‑16

If you are feeding large size paper, pull out
the auxiliary tray (A), and extend the tray
extension (B).

Curled paper may cause a paper jam.

If there is difficulty in straightening out

–

curled paper, curl the front edges of the
paper upward, as shown below.

To print on the back side of preprinted

–

paper, load the preprinted paper face up
into the stack bypass, as shown in the
illustration below.

The screen for selecting the paper size
appears.

If you are loading envelopes into

●

the stack bypass:

1 Take five envelopes, loosen them as

shown, and then stack them together.

2 Repeat this step five times for each set of

five envelopes.

Original and Paper

When loading paper into the stack bypass,

–

align the paper stack neatly between the
slide guides. If the paper is not loaded
correctly, a paper jam may occur.
If you are printing on heavyweight paper

–

or envelopes using the stack bypass, and
find that the paper or envelopes are not
being fed smoothly or evenly through
the stack bypass, remove the paper or
envelopes, curl the feeding edges upward
approximately 1/8" (3 mm), and then
reload the paper or envelopes. Curling the
feeding edges enables the rollers to grip
the paper or envelopes as they are fed into
the stack bypass.
If there are instructions on the paper

–

package about which side of the paper to
load, follow those instructions.
When the paper is loaded into the stack

–

bypass, the side facing down is the one
printed on.
If problems, such as poor print quality or

–

paper jams occur, try turning the paper
stack over and reload it.
For more information on the print direction

–

of preprinted paper (paper which has
logos or patterns already printed on it), see
“Loading Preprinted Paper,” on p. 2‑29.

3 Place the envelopes on a clean, level

surface, and press all the way around the
envelopes by hand, in the direction of
the arrows, to remove any curls. Repeat
this step five times for each set of five
envelopes.

Take particular care to spread the
envelopes out in the direction that they
will be fed.

Automatic Paper Selection/Automatic Drawer Switching

You can set which paper sources can be used for Automatic Paper Selection (APS) and
Automatic Drawer Switching (ADS). This setting can be made independently for all the
different functions of the machine, and is especially useful when you want to use different
paper sources for different purposes.

Paper sources set to [On] are used for the following functions:

–

APS: The machine automatically selects the appropriate paper size (paper source) based on the original’s

–

size and copy ratio settings (when making a copy), or the set ratio of the image (when receiving a fax).
ADS: If a paper source runs out of paper during a continuous print job, the machine automatically selects

–

another paper source with the same paper size, and begins feeding paper from that paper source.
