Safety Warnings and Precautions

Read and follow all the warnings and guidelines described below to prevent

the hazards of fire or electrical shock and ensure safe use of this printer.

Warning

 Location

z The electrical contacts inside the printer become extremely hot during

normal operation. To avoid causing a fire, never store flammable substances like alcohol, thinner, etc. near the printer.

 Power Supply

z To avoid personal injury from an electrical shock, never handle the power

cord or plug when your hands are wet.

z To avoid causing a fire or serious electrical shock, make sure that the

power plug is securely and completely inserted into the power source.

z To avoid causing a fire or serious electrical shock, always use the power

cord provided with this printer, and do not use this power cord with any other electrical device.

z To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock caused by a short circuit, avoid

damaging the AC adapter cord or the power cord. Never attempt to modify the power cord in any way. Never apply force to the cord by pulling on it, and never place a heavy object on the power cord.

z To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock, connect the printer power cord to

an independent power source that is not shared by other equipment or appliances.

z To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock, never knot the power cord or

wrap it around itself.

z To avoid a fire hazard, occasionally disconnect the power cord from the

printer and the power supply and use a soft dry cloth to clean the cord connectors and the connection points. Leaving the cord plugged in and not cleaned for a long period, especially in an area subject to dust, oil, and high humidity, could cause the insulation material to deteriorate.

iii

 In an Emergency...

z To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock, if the printer emits smoke or a

strange odor, immediately press the Power button to switch the printer off and unplug the power cord from the power supply. Discontinue using the printer and call for service.

 Cleaning the Printer

z Use only a damp, clean cloth to clean the surfaces of the printer. The

electrical contacts inside the printer become hot during normal operation. To avoid a fire or serious electrical shock, never use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or any other type of flammable liquid cleaner to clean the printer.

 Pacemakers

experiences discomfort while working around the printer should leave the area. Consult a physician before continuing to work around the printer.

Caution

z To avoid damage to the printer or possible personal injury, place the printer

on a flat, stable surface that is safe from sudden shocks or strong vibrations to ensure that it will not fall.

z To avoid damage to the printer which could result in a fire or electrical

shock, place the printer in a location where it is not exposed dust, direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity. Use the printer location in an environment where temperature and humidity are within the ranges of

C~35oC (41oF~95oF) and 10~90% RH (with no condensation).

z To avoid anything entering the printer and causing a fire, never place the

printer on a heavy wool or shag carpet.

z There are ventilation holes on the left side of this product, so when you

install it, make sure the holes are not blocked by a wall or other object. Install so that the holes are at least 30cm (12 in.) from a wall or other object. If the ventilation holes are blocked, the inside of this product may become overheated, resulting in fire.

z To avoid the hazard of a dangerous fire, keep the area around the power

supply where the printer power cord is connected so you can disconnect it immediately if the printer starts operating abnormally (emitting smoke or odd noises, etc.).

z To ensure normal operation of the printer and avoid possible damage,

never install the printer near large office equipment or any other type of electrical device that emits a strong magnetic field.

 Moving the Printer

causing personal injury when moving it, always grip the printer or the paper feed unit by the lift handles provided on the left and right side of the printer or the paper feed unit.

z To avoid breaking a paper cassette and personal injury, always remove the

cassettes before lifting and moving the printer or a paper feed unit.

 Cleaning the Printer

z To avoid minor burns or minor injury from moving parts, before cleaning the

printer always press the Power button to switch off the printer then unplug the power cord from the power supply and allow the electrical contacts inside the printer to cool.

 Printhead and Ink Tanks

Print Media You Can Use

2-2

 Coated Paper

Specially coated for use with BJ printers, coated paper reproduces

brilliant colors without blurring. This media is ideal for printing

materials with color graphics, photographs, and all types of color

presentations for business.

Canon product:

High Resolution Paper (HR-101)

 Transparencies (OHP Film)

Highly transparent film used to produce printed color presentations with

an overhead projector at conferences and presentations. Printing can be

done on either side of the sheets.

Canon product:

Color Bubble Jet Transparencies (CF-102)

Important

z Never touch the printed surface of a printed transparency until it has dried for at

least 15 minutes, and never stack printed transparencies.

z Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is ejected from the printer. To prevent

smearing, never allow printed transparencies to stack on the output tray.

z Color Bubble Jet Transparencies (CF-102) should not be printed at high speed.

Printing at high speed could cause double-feeding and jamming.

z Using transparencies of another manufacturer could cause them to jam.

 Quick Dry Transparencies

Highly transparent film that dries quickly. Ideal for large volume print

jobs with transparencies.

Canon product:

Color Bubble Jet Transparencies Quick Drying Type (CF-401)

Important

z You must always print on the correct print side (the rough side) of this film, and

load the edge of each sheet marked with the white tape into the printer first.

z To prevent a jam, do not remove the white tape from the sheet before printing. The

tape can be removed after printing.
