Safety Precautions

Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you use your printer safely. Do not attempt to use printer in any way not described in this manual.

Choosing a location	Do not place the printer close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
Power supply	Never attempt to plug in or unplug the printer from the power supply when your hands are wet.
	Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
	Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
	Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3- way adapter, etc.).
	Never use the printer if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
	If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the printer, immediately unplug the printer at the power supply and call for service.
	Periodically, unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet. If the printer is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
	Use the universal AC adapter that came with the printer (CANON, K30244). Do not use it for other products.
Cleaning the printer	Use a damp cloth to clean the printer. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the printer, it could cause a fire or electric shock.
	Always unplug the printer from the power outlet before cleaning the printer. If you accidentally switch the printer on while cleaning it, you could injure yourself or damage the printer.
Maintaining the printer	Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. The printer contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance procedure not described in this guide.
Working around the printer	Do not use flammable sprays near the printer. This could cause a fire or electric shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components inside the printer.

Choosing a location	Do not install the printer in a location that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration.
	Do not install the printer in locations that are very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, outdoors, or close to a heating source. To avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks, install the printer in a location with an ambient temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) and humidity of 10% to 90% (condensation free).
	Do not place the printer on a thick rug or carpet.
Power supply	Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the power cord if necessary.
	Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.
	Do not use an extension lead/cord.
Working around the printer	Never put your hands or fingers in the printer while it is printing.
	Do not carry or store the printer with the round side down. A failure can result.
	Do not place any object on the printer.
	Do not place metal objects (paper clips, staples, etc.) or containers of flammable solvents (alcohol, thinners, etc.) on top of the printer.
	If any foreign object (metal or liquid) fall into the printer, unplug the power cord and call for service.
Print heads and ink tanks	For safety reasons store print heads and ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child ingests any ink, consult a doctor immediately.
	Do not shake print heads or ink tanks. Ink may leak out and stain clothing or the surrounding area.
	Never touch the electrical contacts on a print head after printing. The metal parts may be very hot and could cause burns.
Universal AC Adapter	When you pack the universal AC adapter for travel or storage, never wrap the cord around the body of AC adapter to prevent the cord from splitting or separating from the body of the AC adapter and causing a short circuit.
