Notes
Notes provide additional tips or advice that can save
you time and effort in using the scanner.
❏ Never set up the scanner in locations where flammable
substances such as alcohol, paint thinners or other
organic solvents are present.
❏ Always set up the scanner on flat and stable surface that
can support the weight of the scanner (47 kg).
❏ Choose a location that is free of excessive vibration.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to extreme or sudden
changes in temperature.
Condensation formed inside the scanner can adversely
affect print quality. The temperature and humidity
ranges for optimum scanner operation are as follows:
Temperature: 10°C to 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F)
Humidity: 10% to 85% RH (condensation free)
Use Fileprint 470 in a work environment that is suitable for
Fileprint 470.
❏ Do not set up the scanner close to equipment that can
generate strong magnetic fields, such as speakers, radios
or televisions.
❏ Power should always be supplied from a rated power
outlet.
❏ Do not place objects on the power cord and position the
cord so that it will not be stepped on by people working
around the scanner.
❏ Do not bundle the power cord or wrap it around objects
such as table or chair legs.
❏ Do not attempt to unplug the scanner by pulling on the
power cord. Grasp the plug itself firmly to remove it.
To ensure safe operation, always ground the scanner.
Note that the scanner should never be grounded by
connecting the ground lead to a gas or water pipe.
If you are unsure of any aspects of the power supply,
consult your authorized Canon dealer or your power
supplier.
● Always observe these warnings when using the
scanner. Failure to follow these warnings could
result in injury due to fire or electric shock.
● Do not set up the scanner in a location close to
flammable solvents such as alcohol and paint
thinners.
● Do not cut, damage or modify the power cord, do not
pull or bend the power cord excessively, and do not
place heavy objects on the power cord.
● Never plug in or unplug the power cord with wet
hands.
● Do not place objects on top of the scanner as such
objects could fall and cause injury. Do not plug the
scanner into a multi-socket adapter.
● Do not knot or bundle the power cord, and ensure
that the plug is pushed fully into the power outlet.
● Use only the power cord supplied with the scanner.
● Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the scan-
ner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the
scanner.
● Do not use flammable sprays or aerosols near the
scanner.
● Switch the scanner off and unplug the power cord
before cleaning the scanner.
● To clean the unit, use a cloth lightly dampened with
water or a mild detergent.
● If the scanner emits an unusual noise, odor, smoke or
sparks, or if the scanner will not function when
switched on, immediately switch the scanner off,
unplug the power cord and contact an authorized
Canon dealer or service center.
● Before you move the scanner even a short distance,
switch the scanner off and unplug the power cord.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
