Installation Requirements and Handling
In order to use this machine in a safe and trouble-free manner, install the machine in a place that fulfi lls the
following conditions. Also, read the remarks carefully.
Temperature and Humidity Conditions
▪ Temperature range: 10 to 30°C
▪ Humidity range: 20 to 80 % RH (no condensation)
IMPORTANT
Protecting the machine from condensation
▪ 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.
- When the room where the machine is installed is heated rapidly
- When the machine is moved from a cool or dry location to a hot or humid location
▪ If water droplets (condensation) form inside the machine, this can result in paper jams or poor print quality.
When using an ultrasonic humidifi er
When you are using an ultrasonic humidifi er, it is therefore recommended that you use purifi ed water or other
water that is free of impurities.
If you use tap water or well water, impurities in the water will be dispersed through the air. This can be trapped
inside the machine, causing degradation in print quality.
Power Supply Requirements
220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz
IMPORTANT
Precautions when connecting the power cord
▪ Do not connect this 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 use the same AC power outlet for both the machine and any of the following equipment.
- Copy machine
- Air conditioner
- Shredder
- Equipment that consumes a large amount of electricity
- Equipment that generates electrical noise
▪ When unplugging the power cord, keep interval of 5 seconds or more before plugging it again.
Miscellaneous precautions
▪ The maximum power consumption of the machine is 1,200 W or less.
▪ Electrical noise or a dramatic drop in supplied voltage may cause the machine or computer to operate
incorrectly or lose data.
Installation Requirements
▪ A location with suffi cient space
▪ A location with good ventilation
▪ A location with a fl at, even surface
▪ A location able to fully support the weight of the machine
IMPORTANT
Do not install the machine in the following locations, as this may result in damage to the machine.
▪ 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.)
▪ 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.
Notes on wireless LAN
▪ This product is designed for indoor use 50 m (may vary on the communication speed or environmental
condition) or less away from an access point. Keep it at an appropriately close distance.
▪ Check if masking is found or not. Communications across walls or between fl oors are generally deteriorated.
Arrange appropriate installment.
▪ Radio wave interference may occur if any radiowave emitting equipment (i.e. microwave) is found near the
product and its radiowave is in the same frequency band as the radiowave used by a wireless LAN. Keep
the product away from those radio wave interference sources as much as possible.
Maintenance and Inspections
IMPORTANT
▪ Follow the instructions in 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 rear cover, and
load/unload paper in the middle of printing operation.
▪ Be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the machine when transporting the machine to a distance.
▪ To avoid exposing the toner cartridge to light, place it in the protective bag included with this 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 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.
