Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this guide to ensure that you use your
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the machine in any way not described in this guide.
Warning
You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the machine if you ignore any of
these safety precautions.
Location
Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners. If
flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, it may
result in fire or electrical shock.
Power supply
Never attempt to plug or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are
wet. This may result in electrical shock.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet. If the prongs of the power plug
come into contact with metal objects, it may result in fire or electrical shock.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place
heavy objects on the power cord. These actions may cause electrical damage and result in
fire or electrical shock.
Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension
lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.). This may result in fire or electrical shock.
Plug the machine into a standard 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (depending on your local
electrical requirements), two-prong* grounded outlet. Operate the machine only from the
type of power source indicated on the machine's label or a fire, electrical shock, or
malfunction may occur. If you are unsure of the type of power available, consult your local
power company.
* The shape of the plug and outlet may vary depending on the country of purchase.
Do not allow the power cord to be near objects that emit heat. The outer cover of the power
cord may melt resulting in fire or electrical shock.
Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted. Knots in the cord may
result in fire or electrical shock.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately
unplug the machine at the power supply and contact your local authorized Canon dealer or
the Canon help line.
Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock.
Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected
on the plug and the power outlet.
If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the
dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
Maintenance
Do not service the machine yourself except as specifically described in this guide. If further
servicing is required, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
When storing the machine, choose a location where the machine is not exposed to dust.
Dust accumulation may prevent the machine from operating properly.
Use a damp cloth to clean the machine. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol,
benzene or thinners. If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components
inside the machine, it could cause a fire or electrical shock.
Always turn OFF the power and unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning
the machine.
If you leave ON or accidentally switch the machine ON while cleaning it, it may result in
injury or damage the machine.
Handling
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are no user serviceable parts
inside the machine.
The machine contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance
procedure not described in this guide. Incorrect maintenance procedures may damage the
machine, or cause a fire or electrical shock.
Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also do not
spill water, liquid, or flammable substances inside the machine. If these items come into
contact with high-voltage parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or electrical shock.
If these items are dropped or spilled in the machine, turn OFF the power and unplug the
power cord immediately with dry hands. Then contact your local authorized Canon dealer
or the Canon help line.
Do not use flammable sprays near the machine.
This could cause a fire or electrical shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical
components inside the machine.
There are high-voltage components inside the machine. If you are looking inside the
machine to clear paper jams etc., do not allow metal objects such as jewelry to come into
contact with the inside of the machine. Contact may result in burns or electrical shock.
Others
When setting the machine near electric products with fluorescent lighting, separate the
machine at least 5.9 inches (15 cm) from electric products equipped with fluorescent
lighting. If you place it near to them, the machine may malfunction as a result of the noise
emitted by the fluorescent lighting.
When turning OFF the power, be sure to press [ON/OFF] and confirm that the Alarm Lamp
has shut off. If you pull the power plug out of the wall outlet while the Alarm Lamp is on, the
FINE Cartridge is not protected, and you may not be able to print later.
Caution
Location
You may cause injury or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety
precautions.
Do not block or cover the ventilation port or any openings on the machine with objects, as
it may cause the inside of machine to overheat and cause a fire.
Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support
its weight. If the machine topples over, it may result in injury. (For the weight of the
machine, see Appendix on page 108.
Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
Do not install the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields,
such as speakers.
To ensure proper ventilation, make sure the machine is approximately 4 inches (10 cm)
away from walls and other equipment.
Do not install the machine in a location that is very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight,
outdoors, or close to a heating source.
Installing in such a location may result in fire or electrical shock.
To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shocks, install the machine in a location with an
ambient temperature range of 41F to 95F (5C to 35C) and humidity of 10% to 90%
(condensation free).
Do not place the machine on a thick rug or carpet.
If fibers or dust come inside the machine, it could cause a fire.
Power supply
Handling
Do not place the following objects on top of the machine. If such objects come into contact
with internal electrical components, the machine may short-circuit, resulting in fire or

Handling Paper
z Hold the paper as close as possible to its edges and try not to touch the print surface. The
print quality will deteriorate if the print surface is damaged or becomes dirty.
z Do not touch the print surface until the ink has dried.
z Some paper may curl and the print surface may smudge if you have used a large amount of
ink for printing. Paper that tends to curl is not recommended for printing photographs or
graphics. Use it for printing mainly text.
z If the paper is curled, uncurl (flatten) it before printing.
z Place the paper back into its packet when not using it, and store out of direct sunlight in a
place where the temperature and humidity are low.
z If the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat,
