Maintenance and Inspections

WARNING
When cleaning the printer, turn OFF the printer and computer, remove the USB cable,
and then unplug the power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet regularly, and clean the area around
the base of the power plug's metal pins and the AC power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power plug is plugged 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 printer using a slightly dampened cloth with water or a mild detergent
diluted with water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. If flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the toner
remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
xxi
CAUTION
Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this manual.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment could result in personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered under your Limited Warranty.
The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer become hot during use. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or electrical shock.
xxii
When removing jammed paper or replacing a 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 with warm water will set the toner and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
When removing paper jammed inside the printer, 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.
When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands with
the edges of the paper.
When removing a used toner cartridge from the toner cartridge slot, remove the
cartridge carefully to prevent the toner 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.

Consumables

WARNING
Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause toner
remaining inside the cartridge to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
Do not store a toner cartridge or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as
this may cause the toner or paper to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
Keep toner cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

This section describes the major features.
High Quality A4 Full Color Print
This printer is fitted with an A4 full color laser printer engine. Moreover, 600dpi/multi-value data process resolution delivers high quality full-color printing on A4 size paper.
High Speed Printing
Before You Start
Adoption of high-speed CPU and new-type PDL has increases the speed of the controller processing. Moreover, the four development drums have shortened the time of color printing, which used to require four times longer time than when printing in black and white, to as short as printing in black and white (printing 21 sheets of paper per minute).
Easy Maintenance
The toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) of four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) in which toner and drum are integrated relieve you from toner replenishment and drum replacement that tend to stain your hands, achieving easy routine maintenance that only requires replacement of these toner cartridges. Furthermore, because the cover is located on the front, you can easily replace the toner cartridges and remove paper jammed inside the printer. This feature is achieved by centralizing all the operations (feeding paper, development, and transferring and fixing toner) at the front of the printer and simplifying the paper transport path.
Paper Handling
In addition to the standard multi-purpose tray and universal cassette, the optional 500-sheet paper feeder is available, enabling the continuous automatic feeding of up to 850 sheets of paper (80 g/m standard, the printer can perform automatic 2-sided printing on the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray or paper cassette. By doing so, you can save paper and make the file space more efficient.

User-Friendly Color Control
The user interface with color matrixes delivers intuitive and easy to use color tone adjustment. The sample print function that outputs the samples of images after adjustment on a sheet of paper allows you to easily and rightly check the colors that you want to use.
The auto color function that automatically detects color pages frees you from having to switch between the black-and-white mode and color mode. As a matter of course, LBP5360 is equipped with ColorGear, Canon's original color management system that recreates the colors as you expect. This system achieves the user-friendly control of color matching that corrects color by each element of text, photographs, and pictures that make up a document.

Features and Benefits

Network Printer
Equipped with a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX print server as standard. Because LBP5360 compatible with the TCP/IP, AppleTalk , and SMB protocols, you can instantly use this printer as a network printer that supports various kinds of host/operating system environments. Also the high-speed DMA transfer that directly transfers data to the printer memory and automatic interface switch function enable fine printing process in a network environment.
NOTE
For details on the operating systems that the print server equipped with this printer support and the configuration procedures, see "Network Guide".
Well-developed Security Functions
By installing an optional hard disk, you can use the "Secured Print" function that requires entering a password on printing and the "Encrypted Secured Print" function in which the security for data communication is reinforced. The "Hard Disk Data All Erase" function that completely erases all the data in the hard disk and the capability of using SSL for communication by the Remote UI achieve a safer printing environment.
NOTE
For details on software required for printing encrypted secured print jobs, see "Driver Guide". For the procedure for installing the software, see Readme.txt in "Encrypted Secured Print Driver Add-in For Client PC", the CD-ROM supplied with the optional hard disk.

Printing/Saving Jobs
(Only When the Hard Disk Is Installed)
If you install an optional hard disk in this printer, you can use various print job process functions with the printer driver for this printer.
NOTE
You cannot use this function on the DOS application, UNIX or other computer on which the printer driver cannot be used. Print jobs are processed in the [Print] mode.

Job Process Method Types

You can use the following functions with the printer driver for this printer.
NOTE
The message <53 SEC.PRINT ERR> or <53 STORE ERROR> appears when the amount of data or number of jobs exceeds the limit that you can save on the hard disk. If either of these messages appear, skip the error by pressing the (Online) key. However, the jobs in which you skipped the error are deleted. Therefore, delete any unnecessary job from among the jobs saved on the hard disk before performing a secured print or saving a job.
If you want to use the encrypted secured print function in which the security for data communication is reinforced, you need to install software required for printing encrypted secured print jobs. For details on software required for printing encrypted secured print jobs, see "Driver Guide". For the procedure for installing the software, see Readme.txt in the CD-ROM "Encrypted Secured Print Driver Add-in For Client PC" supplied with the optional hard disk.

Using the Printer
[Print] Mode
Performs regular printing.
NOTE
You can use this mode even if a hard disk is not installed in the printer.
[Secured Print] Mode
Allows you to specify a user name and password for print jobs. Print jobs are saved on the hard disk in the printer, and you can print by entering passwords from the printer's control panel or the Remote UI. This function is convenient when you print a confidential document etc. that you do not want others to read.

Printing/Saving Jobs (Only When the Hard Disk Is Installed)

3-7
NOTE
The jobs saved on the hard disk using the [Secured Print] mode are deleted in the following circumstances:
- When the printer is turned OFF
- When a hard reset or soft reset is performed
- After a secured print job is printed
- When no printing operation has been performed by the printer's control panel or Remote UI for a fixed period
The time interval from when no printing operation is not performed by the Remote UI or printer's control panel for a fixed period until the printer deletes encrypted secured print jobs is set to "1 hour" in the default settings. You can change the setting for the time interval. For more details, see "SECURING TIME," on p. 6-20.

Using the Printer
[Store] Mode
This mode is used for saving print jobs in the hard disk (boxes) in the printer. To print any of the saved jobs, specify the job in a box using the printer's control panel or Remote UI. The Remote UI is convenient when you print the forms that you use frequently, because it allows you to specify the number of copies or pages to be printed. Also, because you can specify the box when saving data, you can classify the jobs by use.
NOTE
The print jobs printed in the [Store] mode are saved on the hard disk, and they are not deleted even after turning the printer OFF. When you want to delete these jobs, use the Remote UI.
[Interrupt] Mode
This mode is used for pausing the job currently being processed and start printing the specified job on ahead. The paused print jobs are saved on the hard disk in the printer and printed again after the print job that interrupted is completed.
NOTE
While the print job that interrupted is being processed, no more job can interrupt the job.
[Edit and Preview] Mode
This mode is used for editing multiple print jobs in [Canon PageComposer]. The edit function allows you to change the page order, display the preview of printout results, or print with the number of copies specified. This function is convenient when you print documents to make a simple booklet or edit and print document data from multiple applications or files into a booklet.
3-8
NOTE
You can use this mode even if a hard disk is not installed in the printer.
Printing/Saving Jobs (Only When the Hard Disk Is Installed)
Printing with a Password Specified (Secured Print/ Encrypted Secured Print)
In a secured print or encrypted secured print, a password-protected job is saved in the printer, and the job is printed by the printer's control panel or Remote UI. For details on using the Remote UI, see "Remote UI Guide".
