 Safety information

Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this guide to ensure that you use your
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the machine in any way not described in this guide.

WARNING

You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety
precautions.

z Location

• Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners. If flammable
substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or
electrical shock.

z Power supply

• Never attempt to plug or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are wet.
This may result in electrical shock.

• Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet. If the prongs of the power plug come into
contact with metal objects, it may result in fire or electrical shock.

• Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place heavy
objects on the power cord. These actions may cause electrical damage and result in fire or
electrical shock.

cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.). This may result in fire or electrical shock.

• Plug the machine into a standard 220-240V AC, 50/60 Hz, two-prong* grounded outlet. Operate
the machine only from the type of power source indicated on the machine’s label or a fire,
electrical shock, or malfunction may occur. If you are unsure of the type of power available,
consult your local power company.
*The shape of the plug and outlet vary depending on the country of purchase.

• Do not allow the power cord to be near objects that emit heat. The outer cover of the power cord
may melt resulting in fire or electrical shock.

• Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted. Knots in the cord may result in
fire or electrical shock.

I

• If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug
the machine at the power supply and contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help
line. Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock.

• Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the
plug and the power outlet. If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke,
or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure
and fire.

z Maintenance

• Do not service the machine yourself except as specifically described in this guide. If further
servicing is required, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

• When storing the machine, choose a location where the machine is not exposed to dust. Dust
accumulation may prevent the machine from operating properly.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the machine. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene
or thinners. If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the machine,
it could cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Always turn OFF the power and unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning the
machine. If you accidentally switch the machine ON while cleaning it, it may result in injury or
damage the machine.

z Handling

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are no user serviceable parts inside
the machine. The machine contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance
procedure not described in this guide. Incorrect maintenance procedures may damage the
machine, or cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also do not spill water,
liquid, or flammable substances inside the machine. If these items come into contact with
high-voltage parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or electrical shock. If these items are
dropped or spilled in the machine, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord immediately
with dry hands. Then contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

• Do not use flammable sprays near the machine. This could cause a fire or electrical shock if the
spray comes into contact with electrical components inside the machine.

• There are high-voltage components inside the machine. If you are looking inside the machine to
clear paper jams etc., do not allow metal objects such as jewelry to come into contact with the
inside of the machine. Contact may result in burns or electrical shock.

II

z Others

• This product emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel
abnormalities, please move away from this product and consult your doctor.

• When setting the machine near electric products with fluorescent lighting, separate the machine
at least 5 7/8 inches (150 mm) from electric products equipped with fluorescent lighting. If you
place it near to them, the machine may malfunction as a result of the noise emitted by the
fluorescent lighting.

• When turning the power OFF, be sure to press [ON/OFF] and confirm that the [Alarm] lamp has
extinguished. If you pull the power plug out of the wall outlet while the [Alarm] lamp is lit or
flashing, the print head is not protected, and you may not be able to print later.

CAUTION

You may cause injury or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety precautions.

z Location

• Do not place the following objects on top of the machine. If such objects come into contact with
internal electrical components, the machine may short-circuit, resulting in fire or electrical shock.
–Metal objects such as jewelry and watches
–Containers of water or other liquids such as glasses, vases, or pot plants
If water does spill inside the machine, turn OFF the power immediately by pressing the [ON/OFF]
key, and disconnect the power cord. Then contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the
Canon help line.

• Do not block or cover the ventilation port or any openings on the machine with objects, as it may
cause the inside of machine to overheat and cause a fire.

• Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its
weight. If the machine topples over, it may result in injury.

• Do not use or store the machine outdoors.

• Do not install the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields, such as
speakers.

• To ensure proper ventilation, make sure the machine is approximately 4 inches (100 mm) away
from walls and other equipment.

III

• Do not install the machine in a location that is very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, outdoors,
or close to a heating source. Installing in such a location may result in fire or electrical shock. To
avoid the risk of fire or electrical shocks, install the machine in a location with an ambient
temperature range of 15°C to 27.5°C (59°F to 81.5°F) and humidity of 20% to 80% (condensation
free).

• Do not place the machine on a thick rug or carpet. If fibers or dust come inside the machine, it
could cause a fire.

z Power supply

• Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the cord
and cause a fire or electrical shock.

• When turning OFF the power, be sure to press [ON/OFF] or unplug the machine. However, if the
machine is unplugged during printing, the print head is not protected with the cap that prevents
the ink from drying. This may affect the print quality of the machine when printing later.

• During electrical storms, turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord from the power
outlet.

• Do not use an extension cord as this may result in fire or electrical shock.

• Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the
power cord if necessary. Otherwise you will be unable to disconnect the power plug in case of an
emergency, and it may result in fire or electrical shock.

• Never use a power supply source other than the one rated for the machine in the country where
you purchased the machine as it may result in fire or electrical shock. The operating requirement
of this machine is as follows:
220-240V AC, 50/60 Hz

• Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as appliances such as an air conditioner, television,
or copier. These devices generate electrical noise which may interfere with your machine’s
operation.

• Whenever you turn OFF the power and unplug the machine, wait at least five seconds before you
plug it in again.

IV

• Use only the power cord that came with the machine. Using a different power cord may cause
electric leakage or damage to the machine.

• Turn OFF the power and unplug the machine in the following conditions:
–When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
–If liquid has spilled into the machine.
–If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
–If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in the guides

included with your machine.

–If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions provided in

Chapter 11, “Troubleshooting.”
–If the machine has been dropped or damaged.
–If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for servicing.

• Turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord if the machine will not be used for a long
period such as during holidays.

z Handling

• Close the document cover gently to avoid catching your hand.
Failing to do so may result in personal injury.

• Do not press down hard on the document cover when using the
platen glass to scan thick books. This may damage the platen
glass and document cover and/or result in personal injury.

• Do not touch the high-voltage electrical parts as this may result in electrical shock.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the machine as these may topple over and result in injury.

• When removing paper jammed in the machine, be careful not to get ink on your hands or clothing.
If ink gets on your hands or clothing, wash them soon in running water. If you use hot water, the
ink may adhere and become difficult to remove.

V

• After printing, do not touch the electrical contacts of the print head. They will be hot and may
result in burns or electrical shock.

• Do not subject the machine to strong physical shock or vibration. This can damage the machine’s
components.

• Before moving the machine, turn OFF the power and unplug the machine.

• When moving the machine, carry the machine at both ends.

• A distinct change in performance may indicate a need for servicing.

• Do not insert your hands into the machine while it is printing. Parts inside the machine are moving
and this may result in injury.

• Do not overturn the machine. Ink may leak out and stain clothing or the surrounding area.

• Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in the guides since improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and require extensive repair by a qualified
technician to restore the product to normal operation.

z Print head/Ink tanks

• For safety reasons, store print heads and ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child
ingests any ink, consult a doctor immediately.

• Do not shake print heads or ink tanks. Ink may leak out and stain clothing or the surrounding area.

IMPORTANT

• When unplugging the power cord, be sure to press [ON/OFF] first. When you press [ON/OFF], the print
head is protected by the cap to prevent the ink from drying. Turn the machine OFF with [ON/OFF]. When
unplugging the power cord, be sure to unplug it after turning the machine OFF with [ON/OFF].

• When not using the machine for a long time, to prevent degradation of the print head, print or copy in
both black & white and in colour, or perform print head cleaning, about once a month.

• Numerous nozzles are installed in the print head for high-precision printing. Just as the uncapped tip of
a ballpoint pen or marker becomes dry and unusable if not used for a long period of time, the print head
nozzles become blocked by dried ink. Periodically printing or cleaning the print head can prevent this
blockage.

NOTE

• The power cannot be turned OFF with [ON/OFF] when the machine is operating.

• Your machine performs a print head cleaning every time you plug in the machine. This ensures optimum print
quality but also consumes a small amount of ink during the cleaning process.

Chapter 3 Print Media Handling 22

General print media guidelines

Paper types you cannot use

• Do not use:
–Folded, creased, curled, or wrinkled print media
–Envelopes with double flaps, or with pressure seals
–Moist print media
–Print media with holes (e.g. punched holes)
–Very thin print media (less than 17 lb. or 64 g/m
–Very thick print media (more than 28 lb. or 105 g/m
–Postcards with photographs or stickers adhered to them
–Envelopes made with embossed or treated surfaces

Handling print media

• Hold the print media as closely as possible to its edges and try not to touch the print surface. Print
quality will deteriorate if the print surface is damaged or becomes dirty.

• Do not touch the print surface until the ink has dried.

• Some print media may curl and the print surface may smudge if you have used a large amount of
ink for printing. If this occurs, move the paper thickness lever to the right (see page 24). Paper
that tends to curl is not recommended for printing photographs or graphics. Use it for printing
mainly text.

• If the print media is curled, uncurl it before printing.

• Place the print media back into its packet when not using it, and store out of direct sunlight in a
place where the temperature and humidity are low.

Photo Paper Pro guidelines

• Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approx. 30 minutes). Colours in dark images
may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approx. 30 minutes.

• Images may smudge if you place them in an album before the ink is completely dry. It is
recommended that you allow the ink to dry for 24 hours.

• Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight.

• Do not store or display printouts in hot, damp, or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or
direct sunlight.

• Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from direct
exposure to air or sunlight.

• Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them.

• Be aware that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to
turn yellow.

Scanning

 About scanning images

You can scan images from the machine to a computer, and save them in JPEG, TIFF, or Bitmap
format. And you can process that data by using the supplied application software to create original
images. Furthermore, you can use the supplied OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to
convert scanned paper documents to text data.

 Before scanning

Before scanning images, confirm as follows:

z Is the software (MP Drivers and MP Toolbox) installed?

If the software is not yet installed, see Software Guide.

z Does the document to be scanned meet the requirements for setting on the platen glass?

For details, see page 14.

IMPORTANT

• After turning the machine ON, or after recovering from Power Save mode (see page 111), the image
may not be correctly read by the machine. Wait at least one minute before scanning.
