What Can I Do with This Machine?

Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, etc.) inside the machine. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or the Canon Customer Care Center.

Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in personal injury.

Close the feeder gently to avoid catching your hands, as this may result in personal injury.

Do not press down hard on the feeder when using the platen glass to make copies of thick books. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result in personal injury.

Do not put your hand close to the rollers on the output tray. The machine may suddenly begin to print even if it is not in operation, causing your clothing or fingers to become caught in the machine and resulting in injury.

If the laser beam escapes from the machine, exposure may cause serious damage to your eyes.

The laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the product is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. Read the following remarks and instructions for safety.

Be careful when removing printed paper from output trays or when aligning it, because it may be hot and result in burn injury.

Turn off the control panel power switch for safety when the machine will not be used for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn off the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.
