CAUTION

■Do not set the scanner up on a wobbly platform, a sloped surface, or any other type of unstable location. Do not set up the scanner in a location that is subject to vibration. The scanner could injure someone if it falls or tips over.

■Do not block the ventilation openings. Doing so could cause the scanner to overheat, creating a risk of fire.

■Do not place paper clips, staples, necklaces or any other metallic objects on top of the scanner. Liquids or small metallic objects that get inside of the scanner create a risk of fire or electric shock. If such foreign matter does get inside of the scanner, unplug the power cord immediately, and then contact your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative for assistance.

■Do not set up the scanner in a dusty or humid location. Doing so creates a risk of fire or electric shock.

■Do not place objects on top of the scanner. The object could injure someone if it falls or tips over.

■To prevent any risk of fire or electric shock, be sure that the power source meets the power requirements of the scanner.

■When unplugging the power cord, always grasp the plug. Pulling on the cord itself could expose or break the wires in the power cord, damaging the cord and creating a risk of fire or electric shock.

■In order to allow you to easily unplug the power cord at any time, do not place other objects around the power outlet. Such obstacles could prevent you from unplugging the power cord quickly in an emergency.

■Do not spill liquids or flammable chemicals (such as alcohol, paint thinner, or benzene) on the scanner. Doing so creates a risk of fire or electric shock.

■If the scanner will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord for safety’s sake.

■When operating this scanner, avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing, dangling jewelry, or other material that could get pulled into the scanner. Injury could result. Be especially careful if you are wearing a necktie or have long hair. In the event that some article or clothing does get caught in the scanner, turn the power off immediately.

■Be careful when placing paper in the scanner and when removing jammed paper. It is possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.
