Maintenance and Inspections

WARNING
When cleaning the printer, first turn OFF the power switch, disconnect the USB cable,
then unplug the power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Clean the printer using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with
water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a high-voltage area 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 burn or 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.
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.
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.

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.
xix
When removing paper which has become 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 on
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 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 and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

High Performance Printing System "CAPT"
LBP3200 is equipped with the latest CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology) software supporting Windows 98/Me and Windows 2000/XP. As this system batch-processes the print data in a computer instead of a printer, it enables high-speed printing, making full use of the features of a computer. It shortens the time period over which the computer is freed. The information, such as out of paper, the remaining time of printing and the estimated time of print completion, appears on the display in real time.
USB Interface Equipped as Standard
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface with which the peripheral devices can be connected using one connector is equipped as standard.
High-speed Printing & Extra-High-definition Image Printing
18-sheet-a-minute high-speed printing minimizes your stress of waiting for print completion. LBP3200 is equipped with a printer engine of 600 dpi resolution. By adopting Canon's own new Automatic Image Refinement, an 2400 dpi-equivalent x 600 dpi extra-high-definition image can be obtained. The gray scale adopting the dither method produces delicate images such as photographs and graphics beautifully.
Supporting Various Networks
If you use this printer as a network printer, the status is displayed in both the server and client computers. You can perform job operations from both of them.
Supporting Various Type of Materials
Various types of materials, such as plain paper, envelops (Envelope C5, Envelope COM10, Envelope DL, Envelope Monarch), labels, transparencies, can be used for this printer. Although this printer is for A4-size paper, its reduction mode can reduce a document of larger size, such as A3 and B4, to A4 size to print. It can also produce a print of custom paper size.
1-2
Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup
Canon's own "On-demand Fixing System" achieves low power consumption and quick startup. This innovative technology heats the fixing heater instantaneously only at printing, and saves warm-up time. So, LBP3200 is always in standby status and ready to print. Furthermore, the average power consumption at standby status is only about 7 W.
Compact & Quiet Design
The compact design of this printer saves space in your home or office. Quiet during print and noiseless in standby status allow you to use this printer without concerning with neighbourhood even at night.

Features and Benefits

Easy Maintenance & Printer Status Window
Uniting toner with a photosensitive drum, the toner cartridge for LBP3200 can be easily replaced. The Printer Status Window that is displayed during print allows you to make exact judgements by graphics and sound, improving the operability of this printer.
