Chapter 1 Before Use

1. Important Safety Instructions

To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be 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.

At least
15.75"
(40 cm)	At least
	25.59" (65 cm)

●Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the scanner.

●Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.

●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 subject to vibration.

●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: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 90.5 °F)

Humidity: 20% to 80% RH

●Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers, televisions, or radios).

14

Chapter 1 Before Use

Power

●Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power supply frequency (either 120 V, 60 Hz or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, depending on your region).

●Do not connect other electrical equipment to the same power outlet to which the scanner is connected. Also, when using an extension cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the current requirements of the scanner.

●Never try to disassemble the AC adapter or modify it in any way, as this is extremely dangerous.

●The power cord and AC adapter may become damaged if they are often stepped on or if heavy objects are placed on them. Continued use of a damaged power cord and AC adapter can lead to an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.

●Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.

●Do not pull directly on the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.

●Keep the area around the power plug clear of objects so that the power cord can be disconnected easily in an emergency.

●Use only the AC adapter provided with this scanner. Also, do not use the AC adapter provided with the scanner with any other electrical devices.

Model: MG1-5039

●If you have any questions regarding the power supply, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further information.

Moving the Scanner

●When moving the scanner, always hold it with both hands to avoid dropping it. The weight of the scanner unit is approximately 9.92 lbs (4.5 kg).

●Before moving the scanner, make sure the document tray is closed and the interface cable and AC adapter are disconnected. If the scanner is transported with these items connected, the plugs and connectors may be damaged due to excessive force applied to them during movement.

Handling

WARNING

Note the following precautions whenever using the scanner. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock.

■Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, aerosol sprays, or any other highly flammable substance near the scanner.

■Do not cut, damage, or modify the power cord or AC adapter. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord or AC adapter, and do not pull or excessively bend the power cord.

15

Chapter 1 Before Use

■The supplied power cord set is intended for use with this scanner only. Do not use it with other electronic equipment. In addition, do not use power cord sets other than the one supplied with the scanner. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

■Never connect the power cord when your hands are wet.

■Do not connect the scanner to a multiplug power strip.

■Do not knot or coil the power cord, as this may result in a fire or electric shock. When connecting the power cord, make sure that the power plug is securely and completely inserted into the power outlet.

■Never try to take the scanner apart or modify it in any way.

■Never try to take the AC adapter apart or modify it in any way, as this is dangerous and may lead to a fire or electric shock.

■Do not use flammable aerosol sprays near the scanner.

■When cleaning the scanner, turn the power OFF and disconnect the power cord from the power supply.

■Clean the scanner using a slightly dampened cloth which has been well wrung out. Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or any other flammable substances.

■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 machine, immediately turn the power OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. 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 turn the power OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative to have the unit serviced.

■Before moving the scanner, make sure to turn the power OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.

CAUTION

■Do not install the scanner on a surface that is unstable or tilted, or in an area subject to excessive vibrations, as this may cause the scanner to fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to the scanner.

■Do not block the ventilation openings. Doing so could cause the scanner to overheat, creating a risk of fire.

16

Chapter 1 Before Use

■Never place small metal 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. Should such objects ever fall inside the scanner, immediately turn the power OFF, and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative to have the unit serviced.

■Do not install 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, as they may tip over and fall, resulting in personal injury.

■Do not use the scanner with a power supply voltage other than 120/220-240 VAC. Doing so might cause fire or electric shock.

■When disconnecting the power cord, grasp it firmly by its plug. Do not pull directly on the power cord, as this may damage or expose the cord’s internal wiring, resulting in a fire or electric shock.

■Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be disconnected easily. If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to disconnect it in an emergency.

■Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill into the scanner, as this may result in a fire or electric shock.

■Turn OFF the power for safety when not using the scanner for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the power, and disconnect the AC adapter from the scanner and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.

■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 cord 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

●Prior to disposing of the scanner, initialize the scanner to ensure that the registered data is deleted.

●When disposing of the scanner, make sure to follow all local ordinances and laws or consult with the retailer who sold you the scanner.

●IP Address Assignment

The TCP/IP protocol uses one IP address for each device connected to the network. Consult your network administrator to determine the IP address to assign to the scanner.

●DHCP Support

The scanner supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). A DHCP server provides a network environment in which IP addresses can be obtained automatically from the DHCP server, so there is no need to set an IP address for the scanner.

*The number of IP addresses that can be obtained using DHCP is managed by the network administrator. For details, consult your network administrator.

●SMTP (E-mail) Server

The scanner supports an SMTP server, so you can send image files directly from the scanner by e-mail.

●FTP Server

Transmission may not be possible depending on firewall settings.

●Fax

Scanned images can be sent to specified addresses as fax documents by sending e-mails that include the scanned images as attachments to an Internet fax service. Therefore, you must specify message formats and addresses in the method prescribed by your Internet fax service.

●Printer

By using the FTP print function of a printer connected to the same network with the ScanFront, you can print scanned images.

●1000Base-T Support

The scanner supports 1000Base-T. However, communication may be slower than the communication speed of the network, depending on the other devices connected to the network and the type of hub.

1. Before Setting Up the Scanner

Before setting up the scanner, you need to move it to the installation site, and connect the AC adaptor and network cable.

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.

At least
15.75"
(40 cm)	At least
	25.59" (65 cm)

●Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the scanner.

●Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.

●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 subject to vibration.

●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:
