Important Safety Instructions
Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your FAX.

■Handling and Maintenance

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the FAX.
• Do not subject the FAX to strong physical shocks or vibrations.
• Always unplug the FAX before moving or cleaning it.
• To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the front cover, or add
or remove paper in the multipurpose tray while printing.
• When transporting the FAX, be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the unit.
Place the toner cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth
to prevent exposure to light.
• Always lift the FAX as shown below. Never lift it by any of its attachments.
• Do not insert any objects into the slots or openings on the FAX since 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
FAX. 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 it. If you spill
liquid or if any substance falls into it, unplug the unit immediately and contact
your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
• Keep the FAX clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the unit from operating
properly.
Except as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service the FAX
yourself. Never attempt to disassemble the unit: opening and removing its interior
covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service, contact
your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
