Operating Environment
When selecting a location for the printer, check the following guidelines:
• Make sure the location is flat and sturdy.
• When power is on (printer plugged into an AC outlet):
Temperature: 10˚C-32.5˚C (50˚F-90.5˚F)
Relative humidity: 20-80% RH with no condensation
• Make sure the surrounding area is well ventilated.
• The printer must not be in a direct draft.
Avoid placing the printer in the following
locations:
• Under direct sunlight, near heaters,
air conditioners, or open flames.
Strong light entering the printer unit causes the internal cartridge drum
surface to deteriorate and degrades the printing.
• Near magnets or equipment that generates magnetic fields.
• Near areas subject to vibration.
• In dusty places or places where the air contains high concentrations
of salt or corrosive gases.
• Near water pipes and refrigerators.
If humidity is less than 30%, use a humidifier or an anti-static mat to
prevent buildup of electrostatic charges.
If the room temperature rises abruptly, or the printer is moved from a cool
and dry place to a warm and humid place, condensation may form inside
the printer and cause problems with paper delivery or a deterioration in
print quality and, in some cases, result in printer error. To prevent this,
allow the printer to sit for an hour or more to adjust to the new
temperature.
xi
Observe the following requirements when the power is off (printer
unplugged from the AC outlet):
• Temperature: 0˚C-35˚C (32˚F-95˚F).
• Relative Humidity: 10-80% RH with no condensation.
Carrying the Printer
CAUTION:
Do not carry the printer by holding the front panel, the face-up delivery
slot, or by holding it at the front and rear. This could result in damage to
the printer or personal injury if the printer is dropped.
xii
Before transporting the printer, always remove the EP-22 cartridge and
store it in its original protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth to protect it
from strong light.

(start-up time), and has a first print time of less than 18 seconds. This
means that you can print documents quickly and efficiently.
Impressive output
Thanks to the CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), the 600 dpi
resolution gives you crisp, clean, laser-sharp output at 8 pages per
minute.
Low power consumption
The printer comes with an efficient power management system. Power
consumption is very low, particularly when idle.
Stylish, compact design
The printer provides compact, lightweight, easy-to-use functionality in a
smooth, stylish design. The small footprint gives you more work space to
help you meet your needs.
CAPT Printing Software
The CAPT is easy to install, and with it you can set custom paper sizes,
overlay bitmaps on documents (for example, you can print your logo on
each page), tile up to nine pages on one sheet of paper, and switch easily
between complicated setups using user-defined profiles. The Status
Window gives you written and spoken feedback about your print jobs,
even over a network.
2
Introduction Chapter 1
Quiet operation
Its quiet operation makes this printer an ideal output device, even in an
open-office environment.
Flexible paper handling
Both the multi-purpose tray (MP tray) and the manual feeding slot accept
plain paper of various sizes—Legal, Letter, A4, B5, or Executive—as
well as transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards and other special
paper. The MP tray handles up to 125 sheets of 75 g/m2 plain paper with a
maximum stack height of 12.5 mm. For manual feeding, sheets are fed
one at a time. Delivery can be face down (for plain paper) or face up (for
all paper types).

Plain Paper
Follow these guidelines when selecting paper:
❏ Paper that is too thick or too thin, or that has irregular shapes, cutouts,
or perforations should not be used.
❏ Never use paper that is wet, highly textured, rough, torn, wrinkled, or
damaged.
❏ Extremely smooth paper or paper with special coatings does not print
well.
❏ The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the
paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or emit
dangerous fumes at about 190˚ C (374˚ F).
Paper Handling
❏ Do not use thermal or carbon paper, or paper with glue, staples, clips,
or ribbons.
For colored paper, use colors that are not damaged by the heat of the
printer’s fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F).
Transparencies
The acceptable sizes are Letter or A4. The transparencies must be able to
withstand the heat generated by the fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or
374˚ F) without damage.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 9
Labels
Labels are paper with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Acceptable sizes are
Letter and A4.
Note the following conditions when choosing a label sheet:
❏ The label print face (top, or face sheet) must be made of ordinary,
matte-finish paper similar to copy paper.
❏ The paper backing must be able to withstand the heat generated by the
fixing assembly (about 190˚ C or 374˚ F). The backing must not be
made of easily removable coated paper.
❏ Do not use labels with exposed adhesive, which may stick to the EP-
22 cartridge or the fixing roller, causing the labels to peel off and
serious paper jams to occur.
Envelopes
Follow these guidelines when printing on envelopes:
❏ Envelopes must not have any fasteners, snaps, or windows, or be made
of artificial materials.
❏ Do not use envelopes that discolor or melt at about 190˚ C (374˚ F),
envelopes which might emit dangerous fumes when heated, or
envelopes that seal with pressure-sensitive adhesives.
❏ Do not use envelopes which are damaged, curled or wrinkled, or that
have an irregular shape.
❏ Do not use oversized envelopes, or envelopes with folds.
10 Paper Handling Chapter 2
Postcards
❏ Poorly manufactured envelopes are not recommended.
Paper Handling
Follow these guidelines when printing on postcards:
❏ Postcards should not be greater than 0.28 mm in thickness.
❏ Postcards should be free of glue, clips, and staples.
❏ Do not use postcards that are damaged or curled, or that have special
coatings or an irregular shape.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 11
Storing Paper
Improper paper storage might cause a deterioration of print quality and
paper performance. Therefore, note the following when storing paper:
❏ Store unused paper in its wrapping to protect against humidity.
❏ Do not store paper directly on the floor as the floor is usually humid.
❏ If you must store paper in a very humid place, use a specially designed
storage box.
❏ Keep paper on a flat surface to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl.
❏ Do not stack paper too high to prevent excessive in-ream paper curl.
❏ Do not subject paper to direct sunlight or a humid environment.
If paper is moved to a place with a very different temperature, leave it
there for about one day before using it; otherwise it could curl or develop
wrinkles.
12 Paper Handling Chapter 2
Paper Path
Understanding how paper travels inside the printer helps you better
handle paper loading and jams.
A sheet of paper enters the printer from the MP tray or the manual feed
slot. It travels to the image transfer area where the printer drum has been
statically charged. A laser beam changes the static charge on the drum
and toner clings to those parts of the drum. As the paper rolls across the
drum, the toner transfers to the paper. The toner is then fused to the paper
by the fixing assembly. The paper either comes out from the face-up
delivery slot or travels to the face-down delivery slot, depending on the
paper delivery method selected.
Paper Handling
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 13
Selecting Paper Delivery
Use the paper delivery selector to choose face-up or face-down delivery.
When the selector is in the lower position, face-up delivery is selected.
When the selector is in the upper position, face-down delivery is selected.
Face-down
Face-up
Face-down Delivery
Use face-down delivery for plain paper only. Printouts are stacked in

paper).
❏ Do not replace paper in the face-down delivery slot once it is removed
from the slot. This could result in damage to the flaps inside the slot.
❏ Never insert paper or other objects into the face-down delivery slot.
14 Paper Handling Chapter 2
Face-up Delivery
Use face-up delivery for envelopes and transparencies, as well as other
special paper, including non-standard sized plain paper. Printouts come
out from the face-up delivery slot face up. This helps prevent paper curl.
To select face-up delivery, push the paper delivery selector down.
❏ Do not pull on the printout while it is still emerging from the face-up
delivery slot.
Paper Handling
❏ Do not switch the paper delivery selector until the printout has
completely come out of the delivery slot. Switching the paper delivery
selector while printing could cause a paper jam.
❏ Make sure there is enough room at the front of the printer for the paper
to exit.
