Preface
Safety information
Read this safety information thoroughly before using your machine, and keep it handy in case you need to refer to it later. Only the main points are described here. For detailed safety information, refer to the User’s Guide .
WARNING
• This product emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from this product and consult your doctor.
CAUTION
• Do not disassemble or modify. There are high-temperature and high-voltage components inside the machine which may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.

Location

WARNING
• Do not place 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 fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Do not place the machine on top of a carpet or rug which has long pile. The threads may get inside the machine and cause a fire.
• Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight. (For the weight of the machine, see the User’s Guide.)
• Do not place objects around the power plug so that you are able to readily disconnect the power plug from the wall socket at any time. Otherwise you will be unable to disconnect the power plug in case of an emergency.
• Make sure the relative humidity of the area is between 20% and 80%.
• Keep the machine away from direct sunlight.
Preface
IX

Power Supply

WARNING
• Do not damage or modify the power cord and power plug. Also do not place heavy objects on the power cord, pull on it, or extensively bend it. These actions may cause electrical damage and result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not insert or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this may result in electrical shock.
• Do not overload the wall outlet with too many electrical appliances, as this may result in fire or electrical shock.
• Plug the machine into a standard 200–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, three-prong* outlet. Operate the machine only from the type of power source indicated on the machine’s label or a fire, electrical shock or malfunction may occur. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your local power company.
• Do not allow the power cord to be near objects that emit heat. The outer cover of the power cord may melt resulting in fire or electrical shock.
• Make sure the power cord is fully extended and has no knots in it when electricity is running through it. Knots etc. in the cord may result in fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION
• During electrical storms, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. (Please note that any documents stored in the machine’s memory will be deleted when you turn off the power.)
* The shape of the plug and outlet vary depending on the country of purchase.
X
Preface
• Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord if the machine will not be used for a long period such as during holidays.
IMPORTANT
• If dust accumulates around the plug of the power cord when it is connected to a power outlet, unplug the machine and wipe the plug with a clean, dry cloth.
Fax Model
Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as appliances such as an air conditioner, television, or copier. These devices generate electrical noise which may interfere with your machine’s operation.

Handling

WARNING
• Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also do not spill water, liquid, or flammable substances inside the machine. If these items come into contact with high-voltage parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped or spilled in the machine, turn off the power and unplug the power cord immediately with dry hands. Then contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
• Do not use any highly flammable sprays near the machine. If gas from a spray comes into contact with the electrical components inside the machine, it will result in fire.
• There are high-voltage components inside the machine. If you are looking inside the machine to remove paper jams etc., do not allow metallic objects such as jewelry to come into contact with the inside of the machine. Contact may result in burns or electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Close the document cover and scanning unit gently to avoid catching your hand. Failing to do so may result in personal injury.
• Do not press down hard on the document cover or
Fax Model
ADF when using the platen glass to scan thick books. This may damage the platen glass and/or result in personal injury.
Preface
XI
• Do not lift the machine by any of its attachments. Lift it by the recessed areas on the sides of the machine.

Maintenance

WARNING
• Do not service the machine yourself except as specifically described in this guide. If further servicing is required, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
• Keep the machine clean. Dust accumulation may prevent the machine from operating properly.

Introduction
IMPORTANT
• To prevent the printhead from drying up, the machine automatically caps it when the power is turned off with the [ON/OFF (1 sec.)] key. If you need to disconnect the machine from the main power source (e.g. disconnect the power cord), be sure to turn off the machine first by pressing [ON/OFF (1 sec.)] before disconnecting it.
• If you are not using the machine for a long period of time, we recommend that you print (in black and color) or clean the printhead approximately once a month to maintain the printhead in good working condition. The printhead contains high-precision nozzles that will become blocked if the printhead is not used for a long period of time.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-5
NOTE
• The power cannot be turned off when the machine is operating or when the In Use/Memory light is on or blinking.
• Your machine performs printhead cleaning every time you turn on the machine. This ensures optimum print quality, but also consumes a small amount of ink during the cleaning process. For this reason, it is recommended that you always leave your machine turned on, and only turn it off when instructed to do so in this guide, or when not using the machine for a long period of time (one month or more). This will avoid unnecessary ink consumption.

Photo printing from a memory card
4
This feature allows you to insert a memory card directly into your machine and print photographs from it. You can also read and write to a memory card from your computer.
—Basic operation
Before printing from a memory card
Before printing from a memory card, check the following:
Is your digital camera’s memory card compatible with the machine?
The following cards are compatible with the machine:
• Compact flash type I • Compact flash type II (Except Microdrive memory cards)
• Memory stick • Smart media
• Multimedia card • SD memory card
CAUTION
• You cannot use Microdrive memory cards.
• You cannot use Smart media that has less than 2 MB of memory.
NOTE
• The above cards are acceptable for this machine. However, due to varying specifications, Canon cannot guarantee that all card brands will be fully compatible.
• The file format is compatible with the JPEG (DCF/Exif 2.2 or lower/JFIF) format.
• Some digital cameras are not compatible with 64 MB and 128 MB memory cards. Photographs on memory cards that are not compatible with the camera may be unreadable or the image data may be damaged.
• Format the memory card with a digital camera. The memory card may not be able to be used with the machine if formatted by a computer.
• For information on memory cards compatible with your digital camera, contact your digital camera manufacturer.
• If you have edited memory card data on your computer, be sure to print this data from your computer. Saving photographs edited on your computer onto a memory card and then printing them from your machine will not produce good results.
Is the correct print media loaded in the multi-purpose tray?
Although you can use plain paper, Photo Paper Pro paper is recommended for high-quality images ( p. 2-2).
