Maintenance and Inspections

WARNING

• When cleaning the printer, turn OFF the main power switch, remove the USB cable,

and then unplug the power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a ﬁre or electrical shock.

• 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.

• Clean the printer using a slightly dampened cloth with water or a mild detergent

diluted with water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other ﬂammable substances. If ﬂammable substances come into contact with electrical parts 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 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.

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 ﬁxing unit and its surroundings inside the printer become hot during use. 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 a 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 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.

xxiii

• 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.

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 cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

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"

LBP5100 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 LBP5100 is a color printer, it is compact enough to ﬁt on a desktop.

■ USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Installed as Standard

LBP5100 achieves high-speed transmission by supporting Hi-Speed I/F USB 2.0 that offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.

■ Duplex Unit Installed as Standard

LBP5100 is supplied with the duplex unit. Therefore, you can automatically perform 2-sided printing with paper (A4, Legal, Letter, and Foolscap size) loaded in the manual feed slot or paper cassette. By doing so, you can save paper and make the ﬁle space more efﬁcient.

■ 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 maintenance 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 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.
