Chapter 1 Before Use
To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings and precautions described below.
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.
●Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation, maintenance, and ventilation.
At least |
|
15.75" |
|
(40 cm) |
At least |
|
|
|
25.59" (65 cm) |
●Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the scanner.
●Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.
●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 locations that are subject to vibration.
●Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the scanner. This may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning quality.
The following conditions are recommended for optimal scanning quality:
Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to
90.5 °F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% RH
●Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers, televisions, or radios).
14
Chapter 1 Before Use
●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 other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to which the scanner is connected. Also, when using an extension cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the current requirements of the scanner.
●Never try to disassemble the AC adapter or modify it in any way, as this is extremely dangerous.
●The power cord and AC adapter may become damaged if they are often stepped on or if heavy objects are placed on them. Continued use of a damaged power cord and AC adapter can lead to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.
●Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.
●Do not pull directly on the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
●Keep the area around the power plug clear of objects so that the power cord can be disconnected easily in an emergency.
●Use only the AC adapter provided with this scanner. Also, do not use the AC adapter provided with the scanner with any other electrical devices.
Model: MG1-5039
●If you have any questions regarding the power supply, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further information.
●When moving the scanner, always hold it with both hands to avoid dropping it. The weight of the scanner unit is approximately 9.92 lbs (4.5 kg).
●Before moving the scanner, make sure the document tray is closed and the interface cable and AC adapter are disconnected. If the scanner is transported with these items connected, the plugs and connectors may be damaged due to excessive force applied to them during movement.
WARNING
Note the following precautions whenever using the scanner. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock.
■Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, aerosol sprays, or any other highly flammable substance near the scanner.
■Do not cut, damage, or modify the power cord or AC adapter. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord or AC adapter, and do not pull or excessively bend the power cord.
15
Chapter 1 Before Use
■The supplied power cord set is intended for use with this scanner only. Do not use it with other electronic equipment. In addition, do not use power cord sets other than the one supplied with the scanner. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
■Never connect the power cord when your hands are wet.
■Do not connect the scanner to a multiplug power strip.
■Do not knot or coil the power cord, as this may result in a fire or electric shock. When connecting the power cord, make sure that the power plug is securely and completely inserted into the power outlet.
■Never try to take the scanner apart or modify it in any way.
■Never try to take the AC adapter apart or modify it in any way, as this is dangerous and may lead to a fire or electric shock.
