Before you call for service...

 

The Contact List, a list of Canon Help Desks with telephone numbers

 

and addresses worldwide, is provided with the printer. Before you call

 

for service, however, we recommend that you gather some information

 

that will help Help Desk advisors find a solution for your problem.

 

Before calling for service, check the printer status, the computer and its

 

connection environment and identify the problem for faster assistance.

 

Work through the Troubleshooting descriptions of problems and

 

solutions to attempt to solve the problem. If you do not have time to do

 

this, at least follow the steps below and prepare answers for some basic

 

questions you may be asked by the Help Desk advisor.
