Preface Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Follow the warnings and precautions below to use the printer safely. Do not perform any operations or procedures other than as described in this manual. Doing so may result in unexpected accidents and can cause a fire or elec­trical shocks.
Printer location
•
Do not set up the printer in any location exposed to alcohol, thinner, or other volatile liquids. If these substances
Warning
Caution
come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•
Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface. If it falls over, this could cause personal injury.
•
Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to high humidity or large amounts of dust, or exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the printer loca­tion in an environment where temperature and humidity are within the ranges of 15 °C to 30 °C (59 °F to 86 °F) and 10 to 80% RH (with no condensation).
•
Never place the printer on a heavy wool or shag carpet. The fibers may enter the printer and cause a fire.
•
Keep the area around the power outlet clear of items so that you can disconnect the power cable immediately if the printer starts operating abnormally. In the event of a printer malfunction, remove the power cable from the outlet as soon as possible to prevent fire and electrical shocks.
•
Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromagnetic fields, whether equipment that generates such fields or places where such fields occur. This could damage the printer or cause malfunction.
iPF850 Series
Power Supply
•
Never handle the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may cause electrical shock.
•
Warning
Basic Guide
Insert the power cable securely and completely into the power source. If the power cable is not inserted com­pletely, this could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not use any power cable other than the one provided. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. Never use the power cable with any other electrical device.
•
Never cut the power cable or attempt to modify it, and never stretch it or bend it forcefully. Never place a heavy object on the power cable. Damaged sections of the power cable could cause a short circuit and may cause a fire or electrical shock.
•
Never connect the power cable to a power strip or any power source shared by other electrical devices. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
Never knot the power cable or wrap it around itself. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•
Periodically disconnect the power cable and use a dry cloth to wipe away dust that has collected on the plug and
•
the area around the power outlet. Leaving the power cable plugged in and not cleaned for a long period, especial­ly in an area subject to dust, oil, and humidity, could cause the insulation material to deteriorate and lead to a fire.
Page 3
iPF850 Series
Caution
Safety Precautions
•
Always grip the plug to remove the power cable from the power outlet. Pulling on the power cable could damage the cable and lead to a fire or electrical shock.
•
Never use an extension cord. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.
•
Never use any power source other than 100–120 / 220–240 V AC. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. The printer operating conditions are described below. Use the printer under the following conditions. Power supply voltage: 100–120 / 220–240 V AC Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz
In an Emergency
•
If the printer emits smoke or strange odors, continuing to use the printer may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Warning
Switch the printer off immediately and remove the power plug from the power outlet. Contact your Canon dealer or support center.
Cleaning the Printer
•
For cleaning, use a cloth dampened in water. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner.
Warning
Caution
If these substances come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electri­cal shock.
•
Always disconnect the power cable from the outlet before cleaning the printer. If the printer is switched on acci­dentally, moving parts inside the printer may cause personal injuries.
Pacemakers
•
This printer generates a low-level magnetic field. Anyone wearing a pacemaker who experiences discomfort while
Warning
working around the printer should leave the area. Consult a physician before continuing to work around the print­er.
Moving the Printer
•
Moving the printer requires at least six people, holding it on both sides. Be careful to avoid back strain and other
Caution
injuries.
•
When moving the printer, firmly grasp the Carrying Handles under each side. The printer may be unsteady if you hold it at other positions, which poses a risk of injury from dropping the printer.
Preface Safety Precautions

If ink is accidentally ingested, contact a physician immediately.

There may be ink around the ink supply section of ink tanks you removed. Handle ink tanks carefully during replacement. The ink may stain clothing.
•
Do not install used ink tanks in another model of printer. This will prevent correct ink level detection, which may damage the printer or cause other problems.
•
We recommend using up an Ink Tank in the course of printing within six months after breaking the seal. Printing quality may be affected if you use older ink tanks.

Do not leave the printer without ink tanks installed for extended periods (a month or more). Residual ink may become clogged inside the printer and affect printing quality.
