Before Using the Scanner
Safe Operation
In order to ensure safe operation, be certain to read the cautions described
below.
Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in which it is
installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is installed meets the
following environmental requirements:
At least 3.9” (100 mm)
At least 3.9”
(100 mm)
• Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation and maintenance,
and for ventilation.
•
Provide adequate space behind the scanner in order to eject scanned
documents to the back of the scanner.
• Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight. If the scanner must be placed in
such a spot, hang a heavy curtain, or similar object to shade the scanner.
• Avoid dusty locations. Dust can get inside of the scanner and cause
problems.
• Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water faucet,
water heater, or humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes from
ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals may be present.
• Avoid unstable surfaces and locations subject to vibration.
• Avoid locations that are subject to rapid temperature changes.
Condensation inside of the scanner can result in inferior image quality. Use
this scanner under the following environmental conditions:
Temperature: 10˚C to 32.5˚C (50˚F to 90.5˚F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% RH
• Avoid locating the scanner near equipment that generates electromagnetic
fields, including speakers, televisions, and radios.
At least 3.9”
(100 mm)
4 Before Using the Scanner
Power
• Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power supply
frequency. (either 120 V, 60 Hz or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz depending on
your region).
• Do not connect to power outlets with other electrical devices. Also, when
using an extension cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the
current requirements of the scanner.
• Disassembling and/or reassembling the AC adapter is extremely dangerous
and should not be attempted under any circumstances.
• Do not place heavy objects on the AC adapter or Power Cord. Do not place
the adapter or cords in an area where they are likely to be stepped on.
• Do not use the Power Cord while it is bundled.
• Never pull directly on the Power Cord. To remove the plug from the outlet,
grasp the plug directly and remove it from the outlet.
• Keep the area around the power plug clear of articles so that the power plug
can be disconnected in an emergency.
•
Use only the AC adapter provided with the product. Do not use the scanner’s
AC adapter with any other product.
Model: MG1-3607
• If you have any questions about the AC adapter, contact your local
authorized Canon dealer or service representative for futher information.
Moving the Scanner
•
When moving the scanner, always hold it with both hands to avoid dropping
it. The scanner weighs approximately 5.0 lb (2.5 kg).
• Make sure to disconnect the interface cable and Power Cord. If the scanner
is transported with these items plugged in, the plugs and connectors may be
damaged due to physical shock.
Before Using the Scanner 5
Normal Handling
WARNING
To avoid fire and electric shock, always observe the following
warnings when using this scanner.
• Do not place flammable chemicals, such as alcohol or paint thinner, near
the scanner.
• Do not cut, damage, or modify the Power Cord. Do not place heavy objects
on the Power Cord, do not pull on the Power Cord, and do not bend the
Power Cord sharply.
• Do not plug in or unplug the Power Cord with wet hands.
• Do not use multioutlet adapters to connect multiple devices to one outlet.
• Do not tie up or bundle the Power Cord. Push the plug in as far as it will go
when plugging in the Power Cord.
• Only use the Power Cord that was provided with this scanner.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this scanner.
• Never try to take the AC adaptor apart or modify it in any way. Doing so is
very dangerous.
• Do not use flammable sprays near this scanner.
• Always turn the scanner OFF and unplug the Power Cord before cleaning
this scanner.
• To clean this scanner, dampen a cloth in a mild detergent solution and then
wring the cloth out thoroughly. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the
scanner, including alcohol, benzene, or paint thinner.
• If the scanner ever makes a strange noise, emits smoke or a strange odor,
becomes hot, or if the scanner does not operate at all even though the
power is ON, immediately turn the scanner OFF and unplug the Power
Cord. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative
to have the scanner serviced.
• Do not drop, kick, or otherwise strike the scanner. If the scanner does
somehow become damaged, immediately turn the scanner OFF and unplug
the Power Cord. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service
representative to have the scanner serviced.
• Always turn the scanner OFF and unplug the Power Cord before moving
the scanner.
CAUTION
• Do not set the scanner up on a wobbly platform, a sloped surface, or any
other type of unstable location. Do not set up the scanner in a location that
is subject to vibration. The scanner could injure someone if it falls or tips
over.
6 Before Using the Scanner
• Do not block the ventilation openings. Doing so could cause the scanner to
overheat, creating a risk of fire.
• Do not place paper clips, staples, necklaces, or any other metallic objects
on top of the scanner. Liquids or small metallic objects that get inside of
the scanner create a risk of fire or electrical shock. If such foreign matter
does get inside of the scanner, unplug the Power Cord immediately, and
then contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative
for assistance.
• Do not set up the scanner in a dusty or humid location. Doing so creates a
risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place objects on top of the scanner. The object could injure
someone if it falls or tips over.
• To prevent any risk of fire or electrical shock, be sure that the power source
meets the power requirements of the scanner.
• When unplugging the Power Cord, always grasp the plug. Pulling on the
cord itself could expose or break the wires in the Power Cord, damaging
the cord and creating a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• To allow you to easily unplug the Power Cord at any time, do not place
other objects around the power outlet. Such obstacles could prevent you
from unplugging the Power Cord quickly in an emergency.
• Do not spill liquids or flammable chemicals (such as alcohol, paint thinner,
or benzene) on the scanner. Doing so creates a risk of fire or electrical
shock.
• If the scanner will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the
Power Cord for safety’s sake.
• When operating this scanner, avoid wearing loose fitting clothing, dangling
jewelry, or other material that could get pulled into the scanner. Injury
could result. Be especially careful if you are wearing a necktie or have long
hair. In the event that some article or clothing does get caught in the
scanner, turn the power OFF immediately.
• Be careful when placing paper in the scanner and when removing jammed
paper. It is possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.
Disposal
• When disposing of this scanner, be sure to follow all local ordinances and
laws or consult with the retailer who sold you the scanner.
