Maintenance and Inspections

WARNING

• Turn the printer off, disconnect the USB cable and remove the power plug from the

wall when you are cleaning the printer. Failure to do so may cause ﬁre or electrical shock.

• When cleaning the printing, always use a cloth dipped in plain water or water

containing a mild soap solution and ﬁrmly wring the excess moisture out of the cloth before use. Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other inﬂammable substance. If an inﬂammable substance comes into contact with the electrical unit inside the printer it may ignite or cause an electrical shock.

• There is a high-voltage unit inside this product. When you are clearing paper jams or

inspecting the interior of the printer, make sure that a necklace, bracelet, or other metallic object does not touch the inside of the printer. Doing so may cause burns or an electrical shock.

• Do not put spent drum cartridges or spent toner cartridges into a ﬁre. Any toner

remaining in the drum or toner cartridges 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 fuser 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 fuser unit. Doing so can cause burns.

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

paper jam, replacing the drum cartridge or replacing a 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.

xix

• 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 used toner cartridges 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.

Features and Beneﬁts

■ 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.

■ High Performance Printing System "CAPT"

Canon's latest high performance printing system for the Windows operating system, CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), has been built into a color printer for the ﬁrst time. This system allows the data processing that was previously 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. In addition, this means that even heavy data can be processed without the need for expansion memory in the printer.

■ Compact Design

Although LBP5200 is a color printer, it is compact enough to ﬁt on a desktop.

Before You Start Using This Printer

■ USB 2.0 High Speed Installed as Standard

The LBP5200 delivers high-speed transmission by supporting a high-speed USB 2.0 interface that offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.

■ Easy Maintenance

While the "intermediate transfer unit", "light sensitive drum" and "waste toner box" consumable parts are typically separated in a normal printer, in the LBP5200, these have been integrated into a single drum cartridge (Canon Genuine Parts), which reduces the number of points at which consumable parts need to be replaced. In addition, replacement of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Parts) and other principle consumables can be done through the front panel, providing complete operation from the front of the printer.

■ Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup

The use of On-Demand Fixing Technology delivers low power consumption and quick startup. This unique Canon technology means that the ﬁxing heater is only turned on momentarily during printing, and no time is needed to warm up the printer. As a result, you can always start printing directly from standby mode without any delay. This energy saving design also means that the fuser unit uses virtually no power while the printer is in standby mode.

■ Support for Various Types of Media

The LBP5200 is capable of printing various types of media including plain paper, heavy paper, envelopes, index card and transparency (black and white printing only).

Features and Benefits

■ Network-Capable Printer

The LBP5200 can be used as an Ethernet network printer by installing the optional network board.

■ User-Friendly Color Control

The user interface with thumbnails delivers intuitive and easy to use color tone adjustment.
