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.

Features and Benefits

This section describes the major features.
■ High Definition Full Color Printing
This printer is fitted with a 600 dpi full color laser printer engine. Through additional
gradation control, this delivers 9600 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi high quality printing.
Furthermore, calibration processing provides consistently stable images.
Before You Start
■ High Performance Printing System "CAPT"
LBP5000 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.
■ Compact Design
Although LBP5000 is a color printer, it is compact enough to fit on a desktop.
■ USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Installed as Standard
LBP5000 achieves high-speed transmission by supporting Hi-Speed I/F USB 2.0 that
offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.
■ Easy Maintenance
The toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) of four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow,
and Black) in which toner and drum are integrated relieve you from toner replenishment
and drum replacement that tend to stain your hands, achieving easy routine maintainance
that only requires replacement of these toner cartridges. Furthermore, because the cover
is located on the front, you can easily replace the toner cartridges and remove paper
jammed paper inside the printer. This feature is achieved by centralizing all the operations
(feeding paper, development, and transferring and fixing toner) at the front of the printer
and simplifying the paper transport path.

■ Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup
By adopting "On-demand Fixing System", LBP5000 achieves low power consumption and
quick startup. This Canon's original technology enables instantaneous heating of the
fusing heater only before printing, saving warm-up time. So, LBP5000 is always in
standby status and ready to print. Also, thanks to its power-saving design, the fixing unit's
power consumption is very low when idle.
Features and Benefits
■ 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 (black and white printing only). Although LBP5000
is designed for printing media of A4 size or smaller, you can print A3 and B4 size data on
A4 size paper by using the function to reduce the standard paper sizes.
You can also print irregular, custom size paper.
■ Network-capable Printer
LBP5000 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".
■ User-Friendly Color Control
The user interface with thumbnails delivers intuitive and easy to use color tone
adjustment.
