Important Safety Instructions
To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, make sure to read the
safety warnings and precautions described below.
Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in
which it is installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is
installed meets the following environmental requirements.
● Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation,
maintenance, and ventilation.
4" (100 mm)
4" (100 mm)
● Provide adequate space in front of the scanner, as scanned
documents are ejected from the front.
● Avoid installing the scanner in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable,
use curtains to shade the scanner.
● Avoid locations with excessive dust. Dust can have negative effects
on the inner parts of the scanner.
● Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water
faucet, water heater, or humidifier, and avoid locations where the
fumes from ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals may
be present.
● Avoid locations that are unstable or subject to vibration.
4" (100 mm)
● Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the
room in which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated,
water droplets (condensation) may form inside the scanner. This
may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning quality. The
following conditions are recommended for optimal scanning quality:
Room temperature: 59 to 90.5°F (15 to 32.5°C)
Humidity: 25 to 80% (RH)
● Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a
magnetic field (e.g., speakers, televisions, or radios).
Moving the Scanner
● When moving the scanner, make sure to carry it with both hands so
as not to drop it. The scanner weighs approximately 2.2 lb (1.0 kg).
● Make sure to disconnect any USB cables and AC adapters (not
supplied) when moving the scanner. If the scanner is carried with
these items connected, the plugs and connectors may be damaged
or cause the scanner to fall and result in personal injury or damage
to the scanner.
AC Adapter (Not Supplied)
● When using an AC adapter (not supplied) to power the unit, make
sure to read the operating manual for the AC adapter.
● Use only recommended AC adapters. In addition, do not use these
AC adapters with devices other than the scanner.
● Using the AC adapter, you can obtain better scanning speed than
when using the USB cable by itself.
● If you have any questions regarding the power supply, contact your
local authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further
information.
Handling
WARNING
● Never place alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable
substances near the scanner.
10
● Do not cut, damage, or modify the USB cable or power supply USB
cable. Do not place heavy objects on the cable, and do not pull or
excessively bend the cable.
● Never connect the USB cable or power supply USB cable when
your hands are wet.
● Do not knot or coil the USB cable or power supply USB cable, as
this may result in a fire or electric shock. When connecting the
cable, make sure that the power plug is securely and completely
inserted into the power connector.
● Use only the USB cable or power supply USB cable supplied with
the scanner.
● Do not attempt to dismantle the scanner or modify it in any way, as
this is dangerous and may result in a fire or electric shock.
● Do not use flammable aerosol spray products near the scanner.
● When cleaning the scanner, turn the scanner OFF and disconnect
the USB cable or power supply USB cable.
● Clean the scanner using a slightly dampened cloth that has been
well wrung out. Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or any
other flammable substance.
● If the scanner makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or
strange odors, or the scanner does not function or other
abnormalities occur when you use the scanner, immediately turn
the scanner OFF, and disconnect the USB cable or power supply
USB cable. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or
service representative for further information.
● Do not drop the scanner, or subject it to impact or strong shock.
Should the scanner ever become damaged, immediately close the
feed tray, turn the scanner OFF, and disconnect the USB cable or
power supply USB cable. Then, contact your local authorized
Canon dealer or service representative for further information.
● Before moving the scanner, make sure to close the feed tray, turn
the scanner OFF, and disconnect the USB cable or power supply
USB cable.
CAUTION
● Do not install the scanner on a surface that is unstable, tilted, or
subject to excessive vibrations. Doing so may cause the scanner to
fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the scanner.
● Never place small objects, such as staples, paper clips, or jewelry
on the scanner. These items may fall into the scanner and cause a
fire or electric shock. If such objects ever fall inside the scanner,
immediately close the feed tray, turn the scanner OFF, and
disconnect the USB cable or power supply USB cable. Then,
contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service
representative to have the unit serviced.
● Do not locate the scanner in a humid or dusty location. Doing so
may result in a fire or electric shock.
● Do not place objects on top of the scanner. Such objects may tip or
fall over, resulting in personal injury.
● When disconnecting the USB cable, grasp it firmly by its connector.
Do not pull directly on the USB cable, as this may damage or
expose the cable’s internal wiring, resulting in a fire or electric
shock.
● Leave sufficient space around the USB cable or power supply USB
cable so that it can be disconnected easily. If objects are placed
around the USB cable or power supply USB cable, you will be
unable to disconnect it in an emergency.
● Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene,
paint thinner, etc.) to spill inside the scanner, as this may result in a
fire or electric shock.
● If you will not be using the scanner for an extended period of time,
such as during consecutive holidays, disconnect the USB cable or
power supply USB cable for safety.
● Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the
scanner while you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be
extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught
in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power to stop the
scanner.
● Be careful when placing paper in the scanner and when removing
jammed paper. It is possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet
of paper.
Disposal
When disposing of the scanner, make sure to follow the local
ordinances and laws or consult with your local authorized Canon

Connecting the Scanner to a Computer
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the scanner to a computer.
When you connect the scanner, the Auto Start switch on the scanner
needs to be turned ON or OFF depending on how you will use the
scanner.
Auto Start Switch
There is an Auto Start switch at the rear of the scanner for setting
whether to operate the scanner as a storage device.
Auto Start
OFF ON
Depending on the position of the Auto Start switch, the scanner
operates as shown below.
Switch
Position

OFF
The scanner is recognized as a storage device by
the computer. Starting CaptureOnTouch Lite
preinstalled in the scanner enables you to perform
scanning on a computer without the scanner
driver installed. (However, you cannot store
scanned images or any other data on the
scanner.)
The scanner is recognized as a scanning device
by the computer. You can connect the scanner to a
computer with the scanner driver installed, and
perform scanning using an application, such as
the supplied CaptureOnTouch.
Scanner Operation
IMPORTANT
• Turn the Auto Start switch ON or OFF before you connect the
scanner to a computer. If it is turned ON or OFF after the scanner is
connected to a computer, the scanner may not operate properly.
• When you use the scanner with the Auto Start switch turned ON, the
computer needs to be started before you connect the scanner to
the computer. If the scanner is connected to a computer that is not
started and the feed tray of the scanner has been opened to turn
ON the power, the computer may not be able to start.
Connecting the Scanner to the Computer
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the scanner to the computer
as shown below.
IMPORTANT
• Take care not to disconnect the USB cable while data is being
transferred between the scanner and computer during scanning.
• The USB connector to which the scanner is connected on your
computer must be one capable of supplying 500 mA of power.
Using a USB Hub
The scanner cannot be used when it is connected to a computer via a
bus-powered USB hub. A self-powered USB hub can be used, but
operation is not guaranteed.

Documents
Types of Document You Can Scan
The scanner can scan documents that satisfy the following conditions.
Type of paper: Plain paper
Width: 2" to 8.5" (50.8 mm to 216 mm)
Length: 2.75" to 14.02" (70 mm to 356 mm)
Thickness: 14 to 32 lb bond (52 g/m
(0.06 mm to 0.15 mm)
IMPORTANT
• When scanning multiple documents of different sizes at the same
time, load the documents so that they cover the entire span of the
feed rollers.
• When a document exceeds the length of A4/LTR, we recommend
feeding one page at a time.
• Scanning documents before the ink on them is dry will make the
rollers and scanning glass dirty, causing streaks to appear on the
image and other documents to become dirty. Make sure that
documents are dry before scanning.
• Scanning documents that are written in pencil or a similar writing
instrument will make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, causing
streaks to appear on the image and other documents to become
dirty. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after scanning
such documents.
• When scanning a two-sided document printed on thin paper, the
image on the opposite side of each page may show through. Adjust
the scanning intensity in the application software before scanning
the document.
• We recommend feeding thin paper one page at a time.

malfunction.
Scanning Procedure (Windows)
Supplied Software
The scanner comes with the following software.
CaptureOnTouch Lite
This scanning application comes preinstalled in the scanner. It
enables scanning to be started without installing software, so the
scanner can be shared without limiting it to specific computers.
Scanned images can be saved to any location on the computer to
which the scanner is connected.
CaptureOnTouch
This scanning application is designed specifically for the scanner. It
enables you to output scanned images in a variety of ways including
printing and attaching to mail, as well as register scanning conditions
and output settings as a job.
Scanner Driver (P-150 Driver)
This is the scanner driver for the scanner. When you perform scanning operations in an ISIS or TWAIN compatible application, access the driver
to set the scanning conditions, as necessary. For details, see “Scanner Driver Settings” on p. 51.
IMPORTANT
• The operation of the scanner driver is not guaranteed in all ISIS or TWAIN compatible applications.
• If you purchased the P-150M scanner, CaptureOnTouch Lite will not run on a Windows computer. If you purchased the P-150 scanner,
CaptureOnTouch Lite will not run on a Macintosh computer.
Hint
CaptureOnTouch and the scanner driver need to be installed from the software setup disc. For details on the installation procedure, see “Software
Installation” on p. 16.
