Safety Precautions
Daily Maintenance
When you are working around the scanner, follow these precautions to avoid fire
and electrical shock.
■ Never install and operate the scanner near flammable substances, such as alcohol,
WARNING
paint thinner, benzene, or any other type of volatile solution.
■ Never damage or modify the power cord, and never place heavy objects on the power
cord.
■ Always make sure that your hands are dry when you are handling the power cord or
plug. Never grasp the plug when your hands are wet.
■ Never plug the scanner into a multiplug power strip.
■ Never bundle, wrap, or tie the power cord around itself or another object. Connect the
plug securely into the power source.
■ Use only the power cord and plug provided with the scanner.
■ Never attempt to disassemble or modify the scanner.
■ Never use flammable aerosol products near the scanner.
■ Before you clean the scanner, turn the power OFF and disconnect the power cord
from the power outlet.
■ To clean the scanner’s exterior, use a firmly wrung cloth, moistened slightly with
water or mild detergent. Never use any type of volatile solution, such as alcohol,
benzene or paint thinner.
■ If you hear strange sounds, detect smoke or abnormal heat, sense vibration, or smell
odd odors around the scanner, turn OFF the power switch immediately and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Call for service immediately.
■ Handle the scanner with care. Avoid shocks and vibrations to the scanner caused by
reckless handling. If you suspect the scanner has been accidentally damaged, turn
OFF the power switch immediately and disconnect the power cord from the power
outlet. Call for service immediately.
■ Before you move the scanner, always turn OFF the power and disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet.
4
CAUTION
■ To avoid damage to the scanner, never place the scanner on an unstable or vibrating
surface. The scanner may tip or fall over, causing injury.
■ To avoid overheating and causing a fire, never block the air vents on the back of the
scanner.
■ Keep all liquids, beverages, or any type of liquid, and clips, staples, necklaces, or
other metal objects away from the scanner. If you accidentally spill liquid or drop a
metal object into the scanner, turn OFF the power immediately and disconnect the
power cord from the power outlet. Call for service immediately.
■ Never install the scanner in humid or dusty locations. Doing so may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
■ Never place heavy objects on top of the scanner. Such objects may tip or fall over,
and cause injury.
■ When you remove the power cord, grip it by the plug head. Never attempt to
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet by pulling on the power cord. Doing
so, may expose or break the core leads, damage the power cord, and cause a fire or
electrical shock.
■ Keep the area around the power outlet clear of all obstacles so you can disconnect
the power cord easily at all times.
■ Never spill water or volatile solutions (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner) into the
scanner. Doing so, may cause a fire or electrical shock.
■ When the scanner is not being used for a long time, disconnect the power cord from
the power outlet.
■ Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing, dangling jewelry, long ties, or even long hair that
could become entangled with moving parts, especially the rollers that feed paper into
the scanner. If such objects become entangled, immediately disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet to stop the scanner.
■ Be very careful when you are loading a document or clearing a paper jam. You may
be injured unexpectedly. For example, the paper edges may cut your fingers.
■ Do not open the maintenance cover while the scanner is operating. Doing so may
result in a malfunction or injury.
■ Do not directly touch the pins and contacts on the scanner connectors with your
hands. Doing so may result in a malfunction.

For operation, maintenance and ventilation, make sure that there is enough space
around the scanner, as shown in the illustration above.
Avoid placing the scanner in the following places. It may cause a malfunction and
adversely affect the scanner or your computer.
• Places exposed to direct sunlight
If installation in such places is unavoidable, provide a curtain or similar object to
shade the scanner.
• Places subject to dust and fumes
Dust and cigarette fumes adversely affect the components inside the scanner.
• Near running water, a heat source, water vapor, or in an area, such as a
laboratory exposed to ammonia gas, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
• Places subject to vibration and strong shock
• Places subject to rapid changes in temperature or humidity
Condensation occurring inside the scanner may impair image quality. Place the
scanner in a room that is well within the following range:
Room temperature: 50°F to 90.5°F (10°C to 32.5°C)
Relative humidity: 20% to 80% RH
Use the recommended operating environment for the ink cartridge when using
the imprinter.
• Near electronic equipment or heavy equipment that generates a strong
magnetic field, such as a speaker, TV, and radio
6
Power Supply
• Be sure to connect the scanner to an AC 220-240V (50/60 Hz) or AC 120V
(60 Hz) power supply, according to your region’s requirements.
• Make sure that the scanner is connected to an independent power outlet. Do not
plug the scanner into an outlet shared with another device. If you use an
extension cable, pay attention to the total amperage of the cable.
• If you are unsure of anything relating to the power supply, contact your dealer,
service representative, or your local power company.
•Never place an object on top of the power cord or step on the power cord.
•Never bundle the power cord or wrap the cord around an object, such as a table
leg.
• Do not tug on the power cord. When you remove the power cord, grip it by the
plug head.
• Keep the area around the power outlet free of obstacles.
Carrying
When you move the CR-180II, hold it firmly with both hands and carry it carefully.
The scanner weighs approximately 13.9 lb (6.3 kg).
WARNING
When moving the scanner, be sure to turn OFF the power and remove any cables. If
the cables are not removed before moving the scanner, you may damage the plugs or
connectors by forcibly pulling them out.

Chapter 2 Preparation Before Use
● Do not connect both a USB interface and a SCSI card at the same time.
Important
● Note the following points when using the USB interface that was provided as
standard with your computer.
• Use the most recently available USB 2.0 driver provided by Microsoft. Contact your
local authorized Canon dealer for more detailed information.
• Not all USB interfaces provided as standard with personal computers are guaranteed.
Contact your local authorized Canon dealer for more detailed information.
• Scanning speeds are lower if your computer’s standard USB interface is USB Full-
