walls, or between the paper drawers. Doing so may result in injury.
3
Important Safety Instructions
Do not install in the following locations that may result in damage
A location subject to dramatic changes in temperature or
humidity
A location near equipment that generates magnetic or
electromagnetic waves
A laboratory or location where chemical reactions occur
A location exposed to corrosive or toxic gases
A location that may warp from the weight of the machine or
where the machine is liable to sink (a carpet, etc.)
Avoid poorly ventilated locations
This machine generates a slight amount of ozone, etc. during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone, etc. may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone, etc. may be more noticeable during extended use or long production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms. It is recommended that the room where the machine operates be appropriately ventilated to maintain a comfortable working environment. Also avoid locations where people would be exposed to emissions from the machine.
Do not install in a location where condensation occurs
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the machine when the room where the machine is installed is heated rapidly, and when the machine is moved from a cool or dry location to a hot or humid location. Using the machine under these conditions may result in paper jams, poor print quality, or damage to the machine. Let the machine adjust to the ambient temperature and humidity for at least 2 hours before use.
When using wireless LAN (MF244dw / MF232w)
Set the machine at a distance of 50 m or less from the wireless LAN router.
Do not set machine in a location where any object blocks communication. The signal may be degraded when
passing through walls or oors.
Keep the machine as far as possible from digital cordless phones, microwave ovens, or other equipment that
emit radio waves.

Important Safety Instructions

Maintenance and Inspections

1560-004
Clean this machine periodically. If dust accumulates, the machine may not operate properly. When cleaning, be sure to observe the following. If a problem occurs during operation, see Troubleshooting(P. 339) . If the problem cannot be resolved or you feel the machine requires an inspection, see When a Problem Cannot Be Solved(P. 374) .
Before cleaning, turn OFF the power and unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet. Failure to do so
may result in a re or electrical shock.
Unplug the power plug periodically and clean with a dry cloth to remove dust and grime. Accumulated dust
may absorb humidity in the air and may result in a re if it comes into contact with electricity.
Use a damp, well wrung-out cloth to clean the machine. Dampen cleaning cloths with water only. Do not use
alcohol, benzenes, paint thinners, or other ammable substances. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels. If these substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, they may generate static electricity or result in a re or electrical shock.
Check the power cord and plug periodically for damage. Check the machine for rust, dents, scratches,
cracks, or excessive heat generation. Use of poorly-maintained equipment may result in a re or electrical shock.
The inside of the machine has high-temperature and high-voltage components. Touching these components
may result in burns. Do not touch any part of the machine that is not indicated in the manual.
When loading paper or removing jammed documents or paper, be careful not to cut your hands with the
edges of the paper.
When removing jammed paper or replacing toner cartridges, be careful not to get any toner on your hands or clothing. If toner gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately with cold water.
8
Important Safety Instructions

Consumables

Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open ames. Also, do not store toner cartridges or paper in a
location exposed to open ames. This may cause the toner to ignite, and result in burns or re.
If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a
soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.
If you are using a cardiac pacemaker
Toner cartridges generate a low level magnetic ux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from toner cartridges and consult your physician immediately.
1560-005
Use caution not to inhale any toner. If you should inhale toner, consult a physician immediately.
Use caution so that toner does not get into your eyes or mouth. If toner should get into your eyes or mouth,
immediately wash with cold water and consult a physician.
Use caution so that toner does not come into contact with your skin. If it should, wash with soap and cold
water. If there is any irritation on your skin, consult a physician immediately.
Keep the toner cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested,
consult a physician or poison control center immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the toner cartridge. Doing so may cause the toner to scatter.
Remove the sealing tape of the toner cartridge completely without using excessive force. Doing otherwise
may cause the toner to scatter.
Handling the toner cartridge
Hold the toner cartridge correctly as shown. Do not stand it up or turn it upside-down.
Do not touch the toner cartridge memory ( ) or the electrical contacts ( ).
9
Important Safety Instructions
Do not scratch the drum surface ( ) or expose it to light.
Do not remove the toner cartridge from this machine or from the protective bag unnecessarily.
The toner cartridge is a magnetic product. Keep it away from oppy disks, disk drives, and other devices that
can be affected by magnetism. Failure to do so may result in data loss.
Storing the toner cartridge
Store in the following environment to ensure safe and satisfactory use.
Storage temperature range: 0 to 35°C
Storage humidity range: 35 to 85% RH (relative humidity/no condensation)
*
Store without opening until the toner cartridge is to be used.
When removing the toner cartridge from this machine for storage, place the removed toner cartridge into
the original protective bag or wrap it with a thick cloth.
When storing the toner cartridge, do not store it upright or upside down. The toner will solidify and may not
return to its original condition even if it is shaken.
*
Even within the storable humidity range, water droplets (condensation) may develop inside the toner cartridge if there is a difference of temperature inside and outside the toner cartridge. Condensation will adversely affect the print quality of toner cartridges.
Do not store the toner cartridge in the following locations
Locations exposed to open ames
Locations exposed to direct sunlight or bright light for ve minutes or more
Locations exposed to excessive salty air
Locations where there are corrosive gases (i.e. aerosol sprays and ammonia)
Locations subject to high temperature and high humidity
Locations subject to dramatic changes in temperature and humidity where condensation may easily occur
Locations with a large amount of dust
Locations within the reach of children
Be careful of counterfeit toner cartridges
Please be aware that there are counterfeit Canon toner cartridges in the marketplace. Use of counterfeit toner cartridge may result in poor print quality or machine performance. Canon is not responsible for any malfunction, accident or damage caused by the use of counterfeit toner cartridge.
For more information, see canon.com/counterfeit.
