•Unplug the machine from the wall outlet and contact the Canon Customer Care
Center in any of the following cases:
– If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid has spilled into the machine.
– If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in
this guide. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in this
guide. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
– If the machine has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
– If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for
servicing.
■ Location
• Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface.
• Place the machine in a cool, dry, clean, well-ventilated place.
– Make sure the area is free from dust.
– Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature changes, and always
stays between 50°F and 90.5°F (10°C and 32.5°C).
– Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 80%.
•Keep the machine away from direct sunlight, as this can damage it. If you have to
place it near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
• Do not use the machine near water. Make sure that no wet or damp objects come into
contact with the machine.
• Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
• Do not install the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic
fields, such as speakers.
• If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone line outlet for easy
connection of the telephone line cord, and to avoid the expense of installing a new
outlet.
• Place the machine near a standard 120 V AC (60 Hz) power outlet.
• Place the machine near the PC you will be connecting it to. Make sure you can reach
it easily since you will be using it as a printer, fax machine, and copier.
•To ensure reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from overheating (which
can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust
vent. Never block or cover any openings on the machine by placing it on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the machine in a closet or built-in
installation, or near a radiator or other heat register unless proper ventilation is
provided. Leave approximately 4 inches (10 cm) space around all sides of the
machine. For the dimensions of the machine, see p. 2-2.
