Power Supply

WARNING
Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the power cord, or
pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical damage and result in a fire or electrical shock.
Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the power cord coating
to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands, as this may result in electrical shock.
Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may cause a fire or electrical
shock.
Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Insert the power plug completely into the power outlet, as failure to do so may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in a fire or
electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated for voltages of 220-240 V AC and over, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the power cord and the extension cord.
CAUTION
Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as this may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
Always grasp the power plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling on the power cord may
expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, this could cause current to leak, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If objects are
placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.
xiv

Handling

WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are high-temperature and high-voltage
components inside the machine which may result in a fire or electrical shock.
If the machine makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or strange smells, immediately turn
OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer. Continued use of the machine in this condition may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not use highly flammable sprays near the machine. If gas from these sprays comes into contact
with the electrical components inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn OFF the main power
switch, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine. Otherwise, the power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do not spill water,
liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, etc.) inside the machine. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
CAUTION
Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in personal injury.
Close the feeder/platen cover gently to avoid catching
your hands, as this may result in personal injury.
Do not press down hard on the feeder/platen cover when
using the platen glass to make copies of thick books. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in personal injury.
Do not touch the finisher while the machine is printing, as
this may result in personal injury.
Turn OFF the control panel power switch for safety when
the machine will not be used for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.
xv
Do not place your hand in the part of the tray where stapling is performed when a finisher is
attached, as this may result in personal injury.
Finisher-Q1/Saddle Finisher-Q2
The laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the product is
completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. Read the following remarks and instructions for safety.

Maintenance and Inspections

WARNING
When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, then disconnect the power cord.
Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of
the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with water. Do not
use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. When removing
jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining
inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the machine
may become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or electrical shock.
When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner
cartridge, take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing them with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the jammed paper
gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
