• Do not put spent toner cartridges into a fire. Any toner remaining in the toner

cartridge may ignite, causing burns or fire.

• Unplug the power plug periodically and wipe away any dust or dirt that has built up

around the power outlet. If the power plug is left connected for a long period of time
in a dusty, humid, or smoky environment, dust that gathers around the power outlet
will absorb moisture and reduce the effectiveness of the insulation, leading to fires.

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 area around the fixing unit inside the printer becomes hot during use. If you are

inspecting the inside of the printer while you are clearing a paper jam, etc., take care
not to touch the area around the fixing unit. Doing so can cause burns.

xviii

• Be careful to avoid staining your clothes or hands with toner while you are clearing a

paper jam or replacing the toner cartridge. If you do get any toner on your clothes or
hands, wash it off immediately with cold water. If you rinse using hot water the toner
may become fixed, creating a stain that cannot be removed.

• When you are clearing jammed paper from inside the printer, remove the paper gently

so that toner that is on the jammed paper does not spray out of the printer. This could
lead to toner getting in your eyes or mouth. If toner gets into your eyes or mouth,
wash it out immediately with cold water and consult a doctor.

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

Consumables

WARNING

• Do not put spent toner cartridges into a fire. The toner may ignite cause burns and

fires.

• Do not store toner cartridges or paper in a location where there are open flames.

Toner and paper could ignite, causing burns and fires.

CAUTION

Store toner cartridges and other consumables out of reach of infants. If toner from a
toner cartridge is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Other

WARNING

The toner cartridge produces a weak magnetic field. If someone who is using a
pacemaker feels any unusual sensations, they should stay clear of the toner
cartridge and seek medical attention immediately.

Before You Start Using This Printer

■ High Performance Printing System "CAPT"

The LBP3000 is equipped with the latest CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology)
software that supports Windows OS. This system allows the data processing that is
conventionally handled by the printer during printing to be batch processed by the
computer, delivering high-speed printing that utilizes the full power of the computer. On
top of this, the time taken until the computer is released has also been reduced, and
printer information, such as paper out during printing, is displayed on the computer
screen.

■ USB 2.0 High Speed Installed as Standard

The LBP3000 is capable of high transmission speeds of up to 480 Mbps through an
interface that features support for USB 2.0 High Speed.

■ High Speed Printing and Super High Quality Printing

Delivers a high printing speed of 14 pages per minute. Relieves the stress of waiting for a
print job to finish. This printer is fitted with a 600dpi laser printer engine. A stunningly high
resolution of 2400 effective dpi x 600 dpi is made possible through the Automatic Image
Refinement which is unique to Canon. Furthermore, because the grayscale makes use of
a dithering pattern, photographs and graphics can be printed with beautifully subtle
reproduction.

■ Support for a Wide Variety of Networks

When used as a network printer, the printer status can be displayed on both the client and
server computers. Job control can also be performed from either computer.

■ Support for Various Types of Media

The LBP3000 supports plain paper, Index Card, envelopes (Envelope C5, Envelope
COM10, Envelope DL, Envelope Monarch), label paper, transparencies and a variety of
other paper. In addition, even though this is an A4 printer, A3 and B4 size documents can
be printed reduced onto A4 paper using reduction mode.
You can also print onto non-standard custom paper sizes.

■ Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup

The revolutionary On-Demand Fixing Technology, which is exclusive to Canon, delivers
both energy savings and quick startup. This technology means that the fixing heater is
only heated up momentarily during printing, and so no time is needed to warm the printer
up. As a result, you can always start printing directly from standby mode without any
delay. Furthermore, the energy saving design delivers an average energy consumption in
standby mode of a mere 2W.

Printer Features

■ Compact and Silent Design

The compact design of the main printer body means that it can be used in the tiny spaces
in the home or office.

The noise-reducing design delivers quiet operation even during printing. Because the
printer is silent in standby mode, you can use it even in the middle of the night, without
having to be concerned about those around you.

■ Simple Maintenance and Printer Status Window

The toner cartridges made for this printer (Canon genuine part) are designed as a single
part containing both toner and the light sensitive drum, so that they 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.
