Installation and Handling

To prevent condensation from forming inside the machine in the following cases, let the machine adjust to the ambient temperature and humidity for at least two hours before use.

If water droplets (condensation) form inside the machine, this can result in paper jams or poor print quality.

Do not connect the machine to an uninterruptible power source.

Use an AC power outlet exclusively for the machine. Do not use the other sockets of the AC power outlet.

Do not plug the power plug into the auxiliary outlet on a computer.
Do not connect the machine and any of the following devices to the same AC outlet:

When unplugging the power cord, keep interval of 5 seconds or more before plugging it again.

The maximum power consumption of the machine is 1,110 W or less.

Electrical noise or a dramatic drop in the main voltage may cause the machine or computer to operate incorrectly or lose data.

A location subject to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity

A location subject to condensation

A poorly ventilated location
(If you use the machine for a long time or to perform a large amount of printing in a poorly ventilated room, the ozone or other odors generated by the machine may create an uncomfortable working environment. In addition, chemical particles are dispersed during printing; therefore, it is important to provide adequate ventilation. Also avoid locations where people would be exposed to emissions from the machine.)

A location near equipment that generates magnetic or electromagnetic waves

A laboratory or location where chemical reactions occur

A location exposed to salt air, corrosive gases, or toxic gases

A location, such as on a carpet or mat, that may warp from the weight of the machine or where the machine is liable to sink.

Follow the instructions written on the caution label attached to this machine.

Avoid shaking or applying a shock to this machine.

To prevent a paper jam, do not turn the power ON/OFF, open/close the operation panel or cover, and load/unload paper in the middle of printing operation.

Be sure to remove the toner cartridges from the machine when transporting the machine to a distance.

To avoid exposing the toner cartridge to light, place it in the protective bag that comes with the machine or wrap it in a thick cloth.

Clean this machine regularly. If this machine becomes dusty, it may operate improperly.

Use a modular cable of 118" (3 m) or shorter in length.

Depending on your locale or your telephone connection, you may be unable to perform data communication. In this case, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

The repairing parts and toner cartridges for the machine will be available for at least seven (7) years after production of this machine model has been discontinued.
