This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire. · Clean the printer using a slightly dampened cloth with water or a 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 printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. · There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this may result in burns or electrical shock. · Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire. CAUTION · Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this manual. There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment could result in personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered under your Limited Warranty. xxii · The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or electrical shock. · When removing jammed paper or replacing a toner cartridge, take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner and make it impossible to remove the toner stains. · When removing paper jammed inside the printer, remove the jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician. · When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands with the edges of the paper. · When removing a used toner cartridge from the toner cartridge slot, remove the cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician. xxiii Consumables WARNING · Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite and result in burns or a fire. · Do not store a toner cartridge or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner or paper to ignite and result in burns or a fire. CAUTION Keep toner cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately. xxiv Before You Start This chapter describes the major features and basic functions of this printer.

High Definition Full Color Printing This printer is fitted with a 600 dpi full color laser printer engine. Through additional gradation control, this delivers 9600 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi high quality printing. Furthermore, calibration processing provides consistently stable images. High Performance Printing System "CAPT" LBP5300 is equipped with the latest high performance printing system, "CAPT" (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), that is compatible with Windows operating systems. As this system allows data to be batch processed by a computer instead of a printer, it enables high-speed printing, making full use of the features of the computer. Also, a large amount of data can be processed without expanding the printer memory. Compact Design Although LBP5300 is a color printer, it is compact enough to fit on a desktop. Network-capable Printer LBP5300 can be used as an Ethernet network printer with the standard equipment. The network board of this printer enables the operation of the printer using a built-in web browser "Remote UI" allowing you to specify settings and manage the printer from a computer on the network. NOTE For details on the operating systems that support the network board of the printer and procedure for setting the board, see "Network Guide". USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Installed as Standard LBP5300 achieves high-speed transmission by supporting Hi-Speed I/F USB 2.0 that offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds. Duplex Unit Installed as Standard LBP5300 is supplied with the duplex unit. Therefore, you can automatically perform 2-sided printing with paper (A4, Legal, and Letter size) loaded in the multi-purpose tray or paper cassette. By doing so, you can save paper and make the file space more efficient. 1-2 Features and Benefits Easy Maintenance The toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) of four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) in which toner and drum are integrated relieve you from toner replenishment and drum replacement that tend to stain your hands, achieving easy routine maintenance that only requires replacement of these toner cartridges. Furthermore, because the cover is located on the front, you can easily replace the toner cartridges and remove paper jammed inside the printer. This feature is achieved by centralizing all the operations (feeding paper, development, and transferring and fixing toner) at the front of the printer and simplifying the paper transport path. 1 Before You Start Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup By adopting "On-demand Fixing System", LBP5300 achieves low power consumption and quick startup. This Canon's original technology enables instantaneous heating of the fusing heater only before printing, saving warm-up time. So, LBP5300 is always in standby status and ready to print. Also, thanks to its power-saving design, the fixing unit's power consumption is very low when idle. Supporting Various Types of Media Supports various types of media including plain paper, heavy paper, envelopes (Envelope DL, Envelope COM10, Envelope C5, Envelope Monarch, and Envelope B5), coated paper, labels, and transparencies (Black and white printing only). Although LBP5300 is designed for printing media of A4 size or smaller, you can print A3 and B4 size data on A4 size paper by using the function to reduce the standard paper sizes. You can also print irregular, custom size paper. User-Friendly Color Control The user interface with thumbnails delivers intuitive and easy to use color tone adjustment.
