or other volatile chemicals are present. Never use any kind of
volatile, flammable spray near the unit.
■ Never set up the unit in an area where flammable substances like
alcohol, thinner, or other organic chemicals are present.
■ Select a flat, stable surface that can support the 26 kg (57.2 lb)
weight of the unit.
■ Choose a location that is free of excessive vibration.
■ Avoid a location subject to sudden or wide changes in tempera-
ture. Condensation inside the unit can cause poor image quality.

■ BEFORE YOU BEGIN ... ■
Power supply
If you have any questions about the power source at
your work site, contact your supplier or the power company.
■ The unit should have an independent power source that is not
shared with any other electrical device. If you have to use an extension cord or power strip, make sure the total ampere rating for
all the equipment does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cord.
■ Do not place anything on the power cord, and do not locate the
unit where people working around the unit will walk on the cord.
■ Do not bundle the power cord or wrap it around an object like a
table or chair leg. The area around the unit should be clear of all
obstacles. In case of an emergency, you should be able to reach
the power source quickly to unplug the cord.
■ To remove the power cord from the power outlet, grasp the head
of the plug firmly to remove it. Never pull on the cord to remove
the plug from the power outlet. Never touch the power cord with

MS 300_english.p65 07.5.14, 10:148
CAUTIONS
■ Do not set up the scanner on sloping, wobbly or otherwise unstable surfaces or in locations affected by excessive vibration. The
scanner could cause injury if it falls over or slides off the surface.
■ Do not block the ventilation slots as this could result in a fire due
to the build up of heat inside the scanner.
■ Do not place vessels containing liquids (cups, vases, etc.) or small
metal objects (paper clips, staples, necklaces, etc.) on top of the
scanner. Liquids or metal objects falling into the scanner could
cause an electric shock or fire. If any liquids or metal objects fall
into the scanner, immediately switch the scanner off, unplug the
power cord and contact an authorized Canon dealer or service
center.
■ Do not set up the scanner in dusty or humid locations as this could
result in an electric shock or fire.
■ Do not place heavy objects on top of the scanner as such objects
could fall and cause injury.
■ BEFORE YOU BEGIN ... ■
■ Use only a power supply having the rated voltage. The use of
other voltages could result in a fire or electric shock.
■ Always unplug the power cord by grasping the plug itself. Pulling
on the power cord can damage the cord so that the core wires are
exposed or snapped and could cause a fire or electric shock.
■ Do not use an extension power cord as this could cause a fire or
electric shock.
■ Keep the area around the power outlet free of obstacles to ensure
that the scanner can be unplugged quickly in the event of an emergency.
■ Take care not to tip water or flammable solvents such as alcohol,
thinners or benzene into the scanner as this could result in a fire or
electric shock.
■ If the scanner will be left unused for a lengthy
period, always unplug the scanner as a safety measure.
■ To avoid injury when you are moving the scanner, take care not
to put your hands on the metal protrusions on the underside
of the scanner unit.
HEAT CAUTIONS
■ Avoid touching internal scanner components when you perform
routine cleaning or maintenance such as changing the lamp. Some
internal components generate high temperatures or high voltages.
To avoid injury such as burns or electric shocks, take care also
that metal objects such as necklaces or bracelets do not come into
contact with internal scanner components.

About operation modes
The following operating modes are available with this scanner.
Select one of the following modes according to your system environment before using the scanner. For details, contact your service representative.
❏ Scanner mode
Using this scanner in connection with a personal computer, the
image projected on the scanner’s screen can be saved in the PC as
image data, or printed out through a printer connected to the PC.
❏ DMP mode
By installing the optional DMP board in the scanner and connecting it to a DMP-dedicated printer, the MS300II can be used as a
digital microfilm printer (DMP). The image projected on the
scanner’s screen can be printed out through the DMP-dedicated
printer. In this case, no personal computer is required.
❏ Reader-printer mode
Using the CapturePerfect bundled with the MS300II, the scanner
that is set to the Scanner mode will operate as if it is set to the
DMP mode. The image projected on the scanner’s screen can be
printed out directly through a printer connected to the personal
computer. In this case, however, the image cannot be saved in the
PC as image data.
When the DMP board is installed in this scanner, switch
the “DMP mode” and “scanner mode” in the user mode
before use. (➞P.40 “USER MODE”)
If the computer is connected with the user mode set to
“DMP mode” when the DMP board is installed in this
