● Do not use highly flammable sprays near
the copier. If gas from these sprays comes
into contact with the electrical components
inside the copier, this may result in a fire
or electrical shock.
CAUTION
● Do not drop paper clips, staples or other
metal objects inside the copier. Also, do
not spill water, liquids or flammable
substances (alcohol, benzene, paint
thinner, etc.) inside the copier. If these
items come into contact with a high-
voltage area inside the copier, this may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
If these items are dropped or spilled inside
the copier, immediately turn OFF the
power switch and unplug the power plug
from the socket. Then, contact your
service representative.
● If copying paper larger than the platen,
pay attention to the portion of the paper
that runs off the edge. If this is caught in
the copier, it may be damaged.
● Do not touch the platen area during
copying as your hand may be injured if
caught by the moving parts.
Safety Considerations
● Turn OFF the power switch for safety
when the copier will not be used for a long
period of time such as at night. Also,
unplug the power plug for safety when the
copier will not be used for an even longer
period of time such as during consecutive
holidays.

● Clean the copier using a firmly wrung-out
cloth dampened with a mild cleansing
detergent. Do not use alcohol, benzene,
paint thinner or other flammable
substances. If flammable substances
come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the copier, this may result in a fire
or electrical shock.
● Do not throw used cartridges into open
flames, as this may ignite the toner
remaining inside the cartridges and result
in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
● There are some areas inside the copier
which are subject to high voltages and high
temperatures. Take adequate precaution
when performing internal inspections, to
avoid burns or electrical shock.
● When removing jammed paper or when
inspecting the inside of the copier, do not
allow necklaces, bracelets or other metal
objects to touch the inside of the copier, as
this may result in burns or electrical shock.
● When removing copy paper which has
become jammed from inside the copier, take
care not to allow the toner on the jammed
copy paper to come into contact with your
hands or clothing, as this will dirty your
hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash
them immediately with cold water. Washing
with warm water will set the toner and make
it impossible to remove the toner stains.
● When removing copy paper which has
become jammed from inside the copier,
remove the jammed copy paper gently to
prevent the toner on the paper from
scattering and entering your eyes or mouth.
If toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash
immediately with cold water and consult a
physician.
● When loading copy paper or removing
jammed originals or copy paper, take care
not to cut your hands on the edges of the
original or copy paper.
Consumables
WARNING
● Do not throw cartridges into open flames,
as this may cause the toner to ignite and
result in burns or a fire.
● Do not store cartridges or copy paper in
places exposed to open flames, as this
may cause the cartridges or copy paper to
ignite and result in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
● Keep cartridges and other consumables
out of the reach of small children. If these
items are ingested, consult a physician
immediately.

comes into contact with a dangerous
voltage point inside the copier
malfunction, fire or electrical shock could
occur.
• Do not lubricate any part of the copier.
• Do not use any extremely flammable
substances, such as aerosols, etc., near
the copier as such a substance may
ignite.
HandlingHandling
PrecautionsPrecautions
When not Using the Copier
• If you have to open the main unit to
replace the cartridge or remove jammed
paper, close the top cover immediately
after performing the necessary operation.
Also be sure to slide the platen back to its
original position.
• If a cover is to be placed over the copier,
be sure to turn OFF the power and allow
the copier to cool down beforehand.
• Should the copier not be operated for a
long period of time, unplug it from its
power source.
When Storing the Copier
Upright
• If the copier is to be stored upright with the
carrying handle on top, press the power
switch to OFF and let the copier cool down
beforehand. Stand the copier upright on a
flat, level surface so that it does not fall

• If the copier has been stored upright,
move the platen all the way to the right
and then back to the center position by
hand before operating the copier.
Condensation
If the copier is brought from the cold
outdoors into a warm room, or if the room is
rapidly heated, condensation may form inside
the copier. This can adversely affect the
quality of your copy images (e.g., blacked-
out copies). When the copier is exposed to
such conditions, allow at least two hours for
the copier to fully adjust to room temperature
before attempting to use it.
WARNING:
• If there is an unusual noise, smoke, or anything
else which causes concern, immediately turn
the power switch OFF and unplug the copier.

Recycling used cartridges
Canon has instituted a worldwide recycling
program for toner cartridges called “The
Clean Earth Campaign”. This program
preserves precious natural resources by
utilizing a variety of materials found in the
used cartridges that are of no further use, to
remanufacture new cartridges which, at the
same time, keeps the environment cleaner
by reducing landfill waste. Complete details
concerning this program are enclosed in
each PC Cartridge Box, and mentioned in
this manual.
Cartridge Storing Precautions
Store all unused cartridges according to the following guidelines.
• Place the cartridge in the shipping bag so that the side with the written
instructions is facing upwards. Then place the cartridge into its shipping
box. Store the unused cartridges out of direct sunlight.
• If you do not have the shipping bag and box, be sure to store the cartridge
in a dark location. Make sure that the side with the written instructions is
always facing upwards.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end or turn it upside down.
• Store the cartridges out of reach of small children.
• Never place the cartridges near heaters or humidifiers, etc. Always store
at 104°F or less.
• The recommended storage conditions are as follows:
Temperature 68°F to 77°F
Relative Humidity 40% to 70%
