Important Safety Instructions
Installation
WARNING
• Do not install the machine near alcohol, paint thinner or other inflammable
substances. If inflammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside
the machine, this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place the following items on the machine. If these items come into contact
with a high-voltage area inside the machine, this may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
If these items are dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn off the
power switch on the printer, then the main power switch, and unplug the power plug
from the outlet. Then, contact your service representative or the shop that you
purchased this product.
- Necklaces and other metal objects
- Cups, vases, flowerpots and other containers filled with water or liquids
xiv
CAUTION
• Do not install the machine in unstable locations such as on unsteady platforms or on
inclined floors, or in locations which are subject to excessive vibrations, as this may
cause the machine to fall or tip over, resulting in personal injury.
• Never block the ventilation slots and louvers on the machine. These openings are
provided for proper ventilation of working parts inside the machine. Blocking these
openings can cause the machine to overheat, so never place the machine on a soft
surface like a sofa, rug or similar surface.
• Do not install the machine in the following locations.
-A damp or dusty location.
-A location exposed to smoke and steam such as cookeries and humidifiers.
-A location exposed to rain and snow.
-A location near water faucets and water.
-A location which is exposed to direct sunlight.
-A location subject to high temperatures.
-A location that is subject to open flames.
• To avoid damaging the printer or personal injury, carry the printer in the manner
shown in the illustration, after removing any paper cassettes. Hold it firmly, with one
hand on each side.
• When connecting the interface cable, connect it properly according to this guide. If
not connected properly, this might result in malfunction or electrical shock.
• If a problem or error occurs on the optional hard disk, the data stored on the har d disk
may be lost. Be sure to keep bac kup copies, on external media, of any important data
or files that have been stored on the optional hard disk. Canon cannot accept any
responsibility for any loss of data arising from the use of or inability to use the
optional hard disk.
• When moving the printer, follow the instructions in this manual to hold it correctly.
Failure to do so may cause you to drop the printer, resulting in personal injury.
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 causes the cord
coating to melt and results in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not insert or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this may result in electrical
shock.
• Do not plug the machine into a multi-plug 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 cord completely into the outlet, as failure to do so may result in a fire
or electrical shock.
xv
• 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 the type
rated for voltages of AC 230 V and over and untie the cord binding and insert the
power plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection
between the power and extension cords.
CAUTION
• Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified, as this may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Always grasp the plug portion when unplugging the power plug. Pulling on the power
cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If the
cord is damaged, this could cause an electricity leak and result 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.
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.
• 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 machine makes strange noises, or emits smoke, heat or unusual smells,
immediately turn off the Control Panel Power Switch, then the main power switch,
and unplug the power plug from the outlet. Then, contact your service representative
or the shop that you purchased this product. 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, this may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
• To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn the main
power switch to off, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine. Or
else, power cord and interface cab le may be damaged and will lead to 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, this may result in a fire or electrical shoc k. If these items are dropped or
spilled inside the machine, immediately turn the main power switch to OFF and
unplug the power plug from the outlet. Then contact your service representative or
the shop you purchased the machine.
• When connecting the printer to the USB interface when the power switch is on, be
sure to connect the grounding cord to avoid electrical shock.
xvi
• When unplugging the USB cable while the power switch is on, do not touch the metal
part of the connector. This may lead to electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.
• When handling the main board, expansion board, RAM, or ROM, be careful not to cut
your hand by touching the corner and sharp parts.
• Turn off the main power switch for safety when the machine will not be used for a
long period of time such as overnight. Also, turn the control panel power switch and
the main power switch on the right of the machine and unplug the power plug for
safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time such as
during consecutive holidays.
• Laser beam may be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the
product is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam can not escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
Read the following remarks and following instructions for safety.
• Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.
Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, then unplug the
power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Unplug the power plug from the outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base
of the plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure all dust and
grime is removed. If the machine is plugged in for a long time in a damp, dusty, or
fumy location, dust can build up around the plug and become damp. This may cause
a short circuit and result in a fire.
• 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 mac hine, as this
may result in burns or electrical shock.
• Do not throw used toner cartridges into open fires. The toner will catch on fire and
may cause burns or fire.
xvii
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 this 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 which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the
jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and entering
your eyes or mouth. If toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash immediately with cold
water and consult a physician.
• When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands on
the edges of the paper.
• When removing used toner cartridges from the toner cartridge slot, remove the
cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and entering your eyes or
mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash immediately with cold water and
consult a physician.
Consumables
WARNING
• Do not throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause toner
remaining inside the cartridges to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
• Do not store toner cartridges 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 and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items
are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

Your printer offers fast printing speed, superior print quality, sophisticated paper
handling, and ecology- and energy-sensitive features. The printer also
accommodates hardware options to meet your networking requirements.
Standard Features
High-speed Printing
The Power PC405 processor enables a print speed of up to 20 pages per minute
(ppm) for Letter- or A4-size paper.
Superior Print Quality
High resolution printing at 600 dpi (dots per inch) is further enhanced by Automatic
Before You Start Using the Machine
Image Refinement to smooth jagged edges along with the use of super fine toner.
Combined, these will ensure superior reproduction quality of text and graphics.
Software Compatibility and Language Switching
The printer supports Hewlett-Packard’ s PCL 5e and PCL6 printer languages, which
enables the printer to work with a wide variety of software applications supporting
PCL. The printer can also support Adobe PostScript® 3™, which allows you to print
PostScript data files at 600 dpi. With the optional Canon Adobe PostScript® 3™
Module A-65 (an add-in ROM for Adobe PostScript 3) installed, the printer can
sample the print data as it is received and then automatically switch between the
PCL and PostScript personalities.
1-2
Memory Saving Technology
Memory Reduction Technology accomplishes 600 dpi printing with only 8 MB of
memory for Letter- or A4-printing. Complex page data is compressed to optimise
available resources.
Paper Handling
The standard paper cassette holds 250 sheets of paper while the Multi-Purpose
tray holds about 100 sheets of standard-size paper. The tray can hold a variety of
media for automatic feeding and operate as a manual feed station.
Features of the Product
In addition, there are optional paper feed units to greatly increase your printing
capacity: up to three Canon Paper Feed Unit PF-65s can be installed.
Energy Saving
The on-demand fusing technology of the printer provides improved energy
efficiency . Because of this power saving feature, the printer meets the guidelines for
the International Energy Star Program.
Reducing Toner Consumption
To save toner, you can select the economy mode to print rough drafts with less
toner. The printed page is much lighter, similar to the draft mode found on many dot
matrix printers.
Interface Features
The printer has a standard IEEE 1284 compatible parallel interface, which supports
ECP and Compatible/Nibble protocols. It also supports Microsoft’s Plug & Play
technology. The printer also has a USB port for easy connection to a personal
computer or other USB devices. You can also insert a network card into the
expansion slot to enable network printing.

MicroType fonts) and 32 additional TrueType fonts (barcode and OCR fonts), all
compatible with application software supporting Microsoft Windows. In addition, 9
bitmapped typefaces of the Line Printer family are also included. The printer uses
the Universal Font Scaling Technology (UFST) for outline fonts, provided under
license from Agfa Monotype Corporation. Also supplied with the printer are the
TrueType screen fonts for 137 font solution and Canon Font Manager for easy
management of installed fonts in Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT
4.0/2000/XP. A list of typeface samples is provided in the Appendix.
