III. SAFETY INFORMATION

A. Handling the Laser/Scanner Unit

An invisible laser beam is emitted within the laser/scanner unit.

The laser beam can cause eye damage if exposed, so be sure not to disassemble the
laser/scanner unit. It is not necessary to adjust the laser/scanner unit in this printer in the
filed.

The following label is attached to the laser/scanner cover.

Figure 1-3-1

B. Toner Caution

The toner is non-toxic substance composed of plastics and minute color pigments.

If toner adheres to the skin or clothing, remove as much as possible with dry tissue first, then
wash with cold water, Hot water should not be used, as the toner will solidify and become dif­ficult to remove.

Toner will easily decompose vinyl materials, therefore avoid the toner to come close to vinyl.

C. Ozone Safety

An infinitesimal amount of ozone gas (O3) is generated during corona discharge from the charg­ing roller. The ozone gas is emitted only while the printer is operating.

This printer meets the ozone emission reference value set by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) at
the time it is shipped from the factory.

V. INSTALLATION

A. Precautions

This product has been carefully adjusted and strictly inspected before packing and shipping. To
make the operation as intended, it is important to install it correctly. Service engineers must
understand the performance of the printer sufficiently, install it in the appropriate environment
with proper procedures, and operate the necessary checks.

The following requirements must be met when installing the printer.

The service engineer should inspect the installing site before taking the printer to the cus-

tomer’s premises.

• Power must be directly connectable to a single socket with a supply voltage within ± 10 % of
the rated voltage (100-127V) or +6 % to -10 % of the rated voltage (220-240V.)

• The temperatures should be in a range from 10 to 32.5 ÞC and the relative humidity from
20 to 80 %. Avoid areas closed to water faucets, boilers, humidifiers, or refrigerators.

• Avoid areas near open flames, dusty locations, windy locations, areas which emit ammonia
gas, and areas directly exposed to sunlight. When exposure to direct sunlight is unavoid­able, hanging curtains is recommended.

• The room should be well ventilated.

• The printer should be placed on a level surface.

• If the printer is set up on a desk, be sure a study desk is used.

• Set the printer at a suitable distance from the wall for easy operation (See Figure 1-5-1.)
There must be enough space around the printer to operate.

Following dimensions should be taken into consideration to select an installation space for

the printer.

Figure 1-5-1

When metals are moved from a cold area to warm area, condensation may appear. This can
lead to various troubles during an operation. When the printer needs to be moved from a cold
area to warm area, leave it packed in its box for at least an hour to acclimatize to room temper­ature.

B. Storage and Handling of EP-22 Cartridge

As time passes, the natural environment will change the cartridge, whether sealed or installed
in the printer, or regardless of the number of prints. The progression of this natural change
depends largely on the storage and installation environment, therefore, take special care on stor­age and handling the cartridge.

a. Storage of Sealed EP-22 Cartridge Package

When storing EP-22 cartridge in warehouses or workshops, be sure that they are kept within
humidity/storage conditions range shown in Table 1-5-1.

Also note the following:

1) Avoid areas exposed to direct sunlight.

2) Do not place them in locations which are subject to severe vibration.

3) Do not bump or drop the cartridge.

4) Avoid high temperature environment, keep EP-22 cartridge below 35 °C.

Table 1-5-1

Note: Total storage time is the valid time span following the manufacture date displayed on

the cartridge box.

b. Storage of Unsealed EP-22 Cartridge

Since an organic photoconductor (OPC) is used for the photosensitive drum, intensive light will
damage the drum. Since toner is contained in the cartridge, it is necessary to thoroughly explain
the various storage and handling procedures of unsealed cartridges to customers.

Also, note the following:

1) Avoid areas which are exposed to direct sunlight such as near windows. Avoid leaving the
packages in cars for an extended period of time as high temperatures can damage them.

2) Avoid high temperature and high humidity, and low temperature and low humidity environ­ment. Avoid areas where the temperature or humidity drastically change such as a location
near air conditioners.

3) Avoid dusty areas or locations which emit ammonia or organic solvent gases.

4) Keep EP-22 cartridge below 35 °C

5) Avoid placing the package near CRT displays, disk drive units, or floppy disks.

c. Notes on Handling of Cartridge

1) Before installing a new EP-22 cartridge in the printer, hold the cartridge at both sides as
shown below, and gently slop it at about 45 Þ right-up and left-up 5 or 6 times to distribute
toner evenly. Do not rock the cartridge in any other way, as the toner may leak from the
developing unit or cleaner unit.

Figure 1-5-2

Print the test pattern of 3 to 5 sheets to ensure that output images are not spoiled by a toner
leak after installing the cartridge in the printer.

2) If blank spots appear on the output image due to an uneven distribution of toner in the car­tridge, shake the cartridge to evenly distribute as shown in 1).

3) Do not place the cartridge on its end or upside down.

4) Do not open the protective shutter of the photosensitive drum and never touch the drum sur­face. Do not clean the photosensitive drum.

5) Do not disassemble EP-22 cartridge.

6) Do not give vibration or shock to the cartridge.

7) Intensive light easily damages the photosensitive drum, causing blank spots or black stripes
on the printed image. Faulty print images can be corrected by stopping the printer momen­tarily. However, if the drum is exposed too long, the blank spots and black stripes may
remain even after stopping the printer. To prevent this, be sure to always place the unsealed
cartridges in their boxes or under a cover. Do not leave them uncovered after removing from
the printer.

Reference: If the cartridge are exposed to ordinary light for five minutes and then left in a dark

area for another five minutes, the print quality will return to a virtually permissible
level. However, do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight.

VII. OPERATION

A. Canon Advanced Printing Technology (CAPT)

Canon Advanced Printing Technology (hereafter referred to as CAPT) reduces the processing time
and simplifies the operations for printing in the Microsoft Windows environment.

The easy operations and speedy printing are supported by the following features of CAPT:

• Instead of converting print data sent from application into the printer’s page description lan­guage (PDL), CAPT translates the print data into resource data compatible to the graphic
drawing system commands (GDI data.)

• The resource data compatible to the GDI data is developed to dot data, and then passed to
a host computer.

• The printing environment can be set in the dialog box on the host computer screen.

• The printer status is shown on the host computer screen, so users can view and confirm the
print time, print paper status, error conditions, and etc..

Figure 1-7-1

Note: GDI : Graphic Device Interface

A graphic drawing system that performs printing and displaying in the Windows envi­ronment, (and a graphic drawing system interface with the application.)

CAPT operates on Microsoft Windows NT4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000, or Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me. The installation is done using the Canon Advanced Printing Technology disk includ­ed with this printer.

CAPT specifies paper sizes, document sizes, number of copies, and print quality on the com­puter screen. The operation methods of the dialog boxes vary in Microsoft Windows NT4.0,
Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me.

The installation procedures and operations are explained in the following pages:

Connecting to a Network Printer

When used on a network as a network printer, the printer is linked to the computer designated
as a network print server and is shared by clients on the network.

This section will describe the installation of CAPT on a client computer.

For details, refer to the User’s Manual packed with the printer.

Note: Precondition for the installation

• CAPT should be installed properly in the network print server to which the client
computer is to be connected, and the printer should be designated as a shared print­er. See Page 1-23 for information on how to designate the printer as a shared print­er.

• The network print server must be accessible to the client computer via the network.

• For the local installation, some functions are not available depending on the group to
which the client belongs. The network installation, on the other hand, has no limits
in functions even if the client logs into the network print server with any privilege.
For this printer, however, it is recommended that the network installation be imple­mented with the Administrators privilege.

1. Switch ON the client computer, start up Microsoft Windows NT and log in.

2. Use one of the following methods to start up the Add Printer Wizard.

• Start button / Settings / Printers / Printers folder / Open Add Printer.

• My Computer / Printers folder / Open Add Printer.

• Explorer / Desktop / My Computer / Printers / Open Add Printer.

3. Add Printer Wizard (Initial screen)
Select either the printer is to be used as a local printer or network printer. The following pro­cedures describe the installation for using the printer as a network printer by selecting the
Network printer. For using the printer as a local printer, see Page 1-13 for details.

4. Connect to Printer
Double-click on the name of the print server listed in Shared Printers and select the printer
from the list. Click on the OK button to connect to the selected network printer.
If the connection could not be made, the Connected to Printer (printer connecting failure)
alert box will be displayed.

5. Add Printer Wizard (Installation completion)
This window tells you that the network printer has been successfully installed. Clicking on
the Finish button will finish Add Printer Wizard.
