WARNING
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. There are high-temperature and
high-voltage components inside the printer which may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
• Electrical equipment can be hazardous if not used properly. To avoid injury, do not
allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not let them
touch any electrical contacts or gears that are exposed.
• If the printer makes strange noises, or emits smoke, heat or unusual smells,
immediately turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the USB cable if it is
connected. Then, unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet and contact your
local authorized Canon dealer. Otherwise, this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use highly flammable sprays near the printer. If gas from these sprays comes
into contact with the electrical components inside the printer, it may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Always turn OFF the power switch, and disconnect the interface cables when moving
the printer. Otherwise, the power cord or interface cables may be damaged, resulting
in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the printer. Also, do
not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner,
etc.) inside the printer. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped
or slipped inside the printer, immediately turn OFF the power switch and disconnect
the USB cable if it is connected. Then, unplug the power plug from the AC power
outlet and contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
• When plugging or unplugging the USB cable when the power plug is plugged in an
AC power outlet, do not touch the metal part of the connector, as this may result in
electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Do not place heavy objects on the printer, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• When cleaning the printer, turn OFF the main power switch, 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.

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.
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.
• 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 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 enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold
water and immediately consult a physician.

This section describes the major features.
■ High Performance Printing System "CAPT"
LBP3500 is equipped with the latest high performance printing system, "CAPT" (Canon
Advanced Printing Technology), that is compatible with Windows operating systems. As
this system allows data to be batch processed by a computer instead of a printer, it
enables high-speed printing, making full use of the features of the computer. Also, a large
amount of data can be processed without expanding the printer memory.
Before You Start
■ USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Installed as Standard
LBP3500 achieves high-speed transmission by supporting Hi-Speed I/F USB 2.0 that
offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.
■ High Speed Printing and Super High Quality Printing
Delivers a high printing speed of 25 pages per minute. Relieves the stress of waiting for a
print job to finish. This printer is fitted with a 600 dpi laser printer engine. A stunningly high
resolution of 2400 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi is made possible through the new AIR
(Automatic Image Refinement) which is unique to Canon.
■ Simple Maintenance and Printer Status Window
The toner cartridge made for this printer (Canon Genuine Cartridge) is designed as a
single part containing both toner and the light sensitive drum, so that it can be easily
replaced.
The Printer Status Window that is displayed during printing makes it easy to tell exactly
what the printer is doing through the use of graphical and audio cues, improving the
overall usability of the printer.

■ Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup
By adopting "On-demand Fixing System", this printer achieves low power consumption
and quick startup. "On-demand Fixing System" is Canon's original method which enables
instantaneous heating of the fusing heater only before printing.
■ Supporting Various Types of Media
Supports various types of media including plain paper, heavy paper, envelopes (Envelope
DL, Envelope COM10, Envelope C5, Envelope Monarch, and Envelope B5), Index Card
size media, labels, and transparencies.
Features and Benefits
■ Network-capable Printer
LBP3500 can be used as an Ethernet network printer by installing the optional network
board. The network board enables the operation of the printer using a built-in web browser
"Remote UI" allowing you to specify settings and manage the printer from a computer on
the network.
NOTE
For details on the operating systems that support the optional network board and
procedure for setting the board, see "Network Guide".
