cExcept as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service your unit yourself.

Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

Handling and Maintenance

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the unit.
Do not subject the unit to strong physical shock or vibration.
Always unplug the unit before moving or cleaning it.
To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the printer cover, or remove paper
from the multi-purpose tray while printing.
When transporting the unit, leave the BJ cartridge installed in the cartridge holder and tape
the cartridge holder to the right side of the unit. This will prevent ink spilling inside the unit.
Always lift the unit as shown below. Never lift it by any of its attachments.
Do not push objects of any kind into the slots or openings on the cabinet as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the unit. If
something does fall into it, unplug the unit immediately and contact your local authorised
Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
To avoid spillage in or around the unit, do not eat or drink near the unit. If you spill liquid or if
any substance falls into the unit, unplug the unit immediately and contact your local
authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
Keep the unit clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the unit from operating properly.
