Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, turn off the machine and
computer, and unplug the interface cables and power plug.
Failure to do so can result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet
periodically and clean the area around the base of the
power plug’s metal pins and the AC power outlet with a
dry cloth to remove all dust and grime. In damp, dusty,
or smoky locations, dust can build up around the power
plug and become damp, which can cause a short circuit,
resulting in a fire.
• Clean the machine with a well wrung out cloth dampened
with water or mild detergent diluted with water. Do not
use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable
substances. If flammable substances come into contact
with electrical parts inside the machine, this may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
• Some areas inside the machine are subject to high voltage.
When removing jammed paper or when inspecting inside
of the machine, be careful not to allow necklaces, bracelets,
or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine,
as this can result in burns or electrical shock.
• Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open flames.
This may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridges to
ignite, resulting in burns or fire.
• Confirm that the power plug or power connector is inserted
completely after cleaning the machine. Failure to do so can
result in an overheating and fire.
• Check the power cord and plug regularly. The following
conditions may result in fire, so please contact your local
authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
- There are burn marks on the power plug.
- The blade on the power plug is deformed or broken.
- The power is turned OFF or ON when bending the power
cord.
- The coating of the power cord is damaged, cracked, or
dented.
- A part of the power cord becomes hot.
• Check regularly that the power cord and plug are not
handled in the following manner. Failure to do so can result
in a fire or electrical shock.
- The power connector is loosened.
- Stress is being applied to the power cord by a heavy
object or by fixing it with staples.
- The power plug is loosened.
- The power cord is tied in a bundle.
- A part of the power cord is put in an aisle.
- The power cord is put in front of the heating appliance.
CAUTION
• The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the machine
become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or
when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not touch
the fixing unit and its surroundings, as this may result in
burns.
• When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the
inside of the machine, do not expose yourself to the heat
emitted from the fixing unit and its surroundings for a
prolonged period of time. Doing so may result in low
temperature burns, even though you did not touch the
fixing unit and its surroundings directly, as this may result
in burns.
• If paper is jammed, remove the jammed paper so that
any pieces of paper do not remain inside the machine
according to the displayed message. Also, do not put your
hand in an area other than indicated areas, as this may
result in personal injuries or burns.
• When removing jammed paper or replacing a toner
cartridge, be careful not to get any toner on your hands or
clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If toner
gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately
with cold water. Washing with warm water sets the toner,
making it impossible to remove the toner stains.
• When removing jammed paper, be careful not to allow the
toner on the paper to scatter. The toner may get into your
eyes or mouth. If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash
them immediately with cold water and consult a physician.
• When loading paper or removing jammed documents or
paper, be careful not to cut your hands with the edges of
the paper.
• When removing a toner cartridge, remove the toner
cartridge carefully so as to prevent the toner from
scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If toner gets
into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold
water and consult a physician.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the toner cartridge. The
toner may scatter and get into your eyes or mouth. If toner
gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with
cold water and consult a physician.
• If toner leaks from the toner cartridge, be careful not to
inhale the toner or allow it to come into direct contact with
your skin. If the toner comes into contact with your skin,
wash with soap. If the skin becomes irritated or you inhale
the toner, consult a physician immediately.
