Installation

To ensure that you use this machine safely read the

following precautions carefully before installing the

machine in a suitable location.

WARNING

Do not install in the locations listed below

Doing so may result in a fire or electric shock.

• Locations that risk blocking the ventilation slots (too

close to walls or curtains or on materials such as

deep-pile carpets)

• Damp or dusty locations

• Near heating appliances or open flames

• Near alcohol, paint thinners or other flammable

substances

Do not use a wireless LAN close to medical

equipment (only for products with a wireless LAN

function)

Radio waves can interfere with medical equipment and

cause malfunctions that may lead to accidents.

CAUTION

Do not install in the locations listed below

Doing so could result in a fault or adversely affect people

or other equipment.

• Outdoors or in locations exposed to direct sunlight

• Locations subject to temperature and humidity

extremes, whether low or high

• Locations subject to dramatic changes in

temperature or humidity

• Near equipment that generates magnetic or

electromagnetic waves

• Near electronic devices or precision equipment, such

as TVs, radios and computers

• Laboratories or other locations where chemical

reactions occur

• Locations heavily exposed to aerosol sprays,

ammonia or other corrosive gases

• Locations subject to instability or vibration

• Surfaces that may warp under the weight of the

machine or into which the machine is liable to sink

(carpets, straw matting, beds, etc.)

• Locations where air ventilated from the machine

directly impacts people

Provide adequate ventilation during use

This machine generates small amounts of ozone and

other emissions during normal use. These amounts are

too low to be harmful to humans. However, poorly

ventilated rooms should be adequately ventilated

during extended use or long print runs.

IMPORTANT

When using a wireless LAN (only for products with a

wireless LAN function)

• Install the machine no more than 50 meters from the

wireless LAN router.

• As much as possible, install in a location where

communication is not blocked by intervening

objects. The signal may be degraded when passing

through walls or floors.

• Install the machine as far as possible from digital

cordless phones, microwave ovens or other

equipment that emits radio waves.

Connecting the telephone line (only for machines

that support faxes)

In certain circumstances, this machine may not be able

to communicate via some telephone lines or in some

regions. One such example is when the total resistance

of the telephone line and the machine exceeds 1700Ω.

In this event, contact the store where you purchased this

machine, their service provider or an authorized Canon

dealer or service provider.

• This machine conforms to an analog telephone line

standard and can only be connected to ordinary

subscriber telephone lines. Connecting the machine

to a business line or other dedicated line may result

in faults. Always check the line before connecting.

voltage requirements.

• Connect the machine to a securely grounded power

outlet using the power cord provided.

• Do not use power cords other than the cord provided.

• The power cord provided should only be used with

this machine.

• If you plug this machine into a power outlet with

multiple sockets, do not use the remaining sockets

to connect other devices.

over the cord.

• Do not modify, pull, unduly bend or otherwise

damage the power cord.
