Do not attempt to use the machine in any way not described in this guide. Warning You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety precautions. Location Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners. If flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or electrical shock. Never attempt to plug or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are wet. This may result in electrical shock. Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet. If the prongs of the power plug come into contact with metal objects, it may result in fire or electrical shock. Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. These actions may cause electrical damage and result in fire or electrical shock. Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.). This may result in fire or electrical shock. Plug the machine into a standard 110-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (depending on your local electrical requirements), two-prong* grounded outlet. Operate the machine only from the type of power source indicated on the machine's label or a fire, electrical shock, or malfunction may occur. If you are unsure of the type of power available, consult your local power company. * The shape of the plug and outlet may vary depending on the country of purchase. Do not allow the power cord to be near objects that emit heat. The outer cover of the power cord may melt resulting in fire or electrical shock. Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted. Knots in the cord may result in fire or electrical shock. If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug the machine at the power supply and contact the Canon Customer Care Center. Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock. Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet. If the machine 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. Maintenance Do not service the machine yourself except as specifically described in this guide. If further servicing is required, contact the Canon Customer Care Center. When storing the machine, choose a location where the machine is not exposed to dust. Dust accumulation may prevent the machine from operating properly. Use a damp cloth to clean the machine. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical components inside the machine, it could cause a fire or electrical shock. Always turn OFF the power and unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning the machine. If you leave on or accidentally switch the machine ON while cleaning it, it may result in injury or damage the machine. Power supply Safety Precautions 5 Handling Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are no user serviceable parts inside the machine. The machine contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance procedure not described in this guide. Incorrect maintenance procedures may damage the machine, or cause a fire or electrical shock. Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also do not spill water, liquid, or flammable substances inside the machine. If these items come into contact with high-voltage parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped or spilled in the machine, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord immediately with dry hands. Then contact the Canon Customer Care Center. Do not use flammable sprays near the machine. This could cause a fire or electrical shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components inside the machine. There are high-voltage components inside the machine. If you are looking inside the machine to clear paper jams etc., do not allow metal objects such as jewelry to come into contact with the inside of the machine. Contact may result in burns or electrical shock. Others This product emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from this product and consult your doctor. When setting the machine near electric products with fluorescent lighting, separate the machine at least 5.9 inches (15 cm) from electric products equipped with fluorescent lighting. If you place it near to them, the machine may malfunction as a result of the noise emitted by the fluorescent lighting. When turning OFF the power, be sure to press [ON/OFF] and confirm that the Alarm Lamp has shut off. If you pull the power plug out of the wall outlet while the Alarm Lamp is lit or flashing, the Print Head is not protected, and you may not be able to print later. Caution You may cause injury or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety precautions. Location Do not block or cover the ventilation port or any openings on the machine with objects, as it may cause the inside of machine to overheat and cause a fire. Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight. If the machine topples over, it may result in injury. (For the weight of the machine, see "Appendix" on page 151.) 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. To ensure proper ventilation, make sure the machine is approximately 4 inches (10 cm) away from walls and other equipment. Do not install the machine in a location that is very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, outdoors, or close to a heating source. Installing in such a location may result in fire or electrical shock. To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shocks, install the machine in a location with an ambient temperature range of 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) and humidity of 10% to 90% (condensation free). Do not place the machine on a thick rug or carpet. If fibers or dust come inside the machine, it could cause a fire. 6 Safety Precautions Power supply Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the cord and cause a fire or electrical shock. When turning OFF the power, be sure to press [ON/OFF] and unplug the machine. However, if the machine is unplugged during printing, the Print Head is not protected with the cap that prevents the ink from drying. This may affect the print quality of the machine when printing later. During electrical storms, turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Do not use an extension cord as this may result in fire or electrical shock. Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the power cord if necessary. Otherwise you will be unable to disconnect the power plug in case of an emergency, and it may result in fire or electrical shock. Never use a power supply source other than the one rated for the machine in the country where you purchased the machine as it may result in fire or electrical shock. The operating requirement of this machine is as follows: 110-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (depending on local electrical requirements) Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as appliances such as an air conditioner, television, or copier. These devices generate electrical noise which may interfere with your machine's operation. Whenever you turn OFF the power and unplug the machine, wait at least one minute before you plug it in again. Use only the power cord that came with the machine. Using a different power cord may cause electric leakage or damage to the machine. Turn OFF the power and unplug the machine in the following conditions: When 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 the guides included with your machine.

When using plain paper (17 lb / 64 gsm), up to 150 sheets (0.51" / 13 mm in height) can be loaded in the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette respectively. Select [Plain Paper] from [Media Type] in the printer driver. For a detailed description of printing media types, refer to the Printer Driver Guide. Media Types You cannot Use Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory results, but can also cause the machine to jam or malfunction. Folded, curled or wrinkled paper Damp paper Excessively thin paper (less than 17 lb / 64 gsm) Excessively thick paper (more than 28 lb / 105 gsm)(non-Canon branded paper) Picture postcards Postcards affixed with photos or stickers Envelopes with double flaps Envelopes with sticker flaps Chapter 1 Before Printing 23 Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface Any type of paper with holes Handling Paper Hold the paper as closely as possible to its edges and try not to touch the print surface. Print quality will deteriorate if the print surface is damaged or becomes dirty. Do not touch the print surface until the ink has dried. If prints get wet, do not touch the printed side until they dry. Paper may curl or the print surface may become smudged if you use a large amount of ink for printing. In this case, select for under . See "If printing surface abrasion is not resolved even after taking the actions above:" on page 126. Do not print photos or documents that contain graphics on paper that curls easily. Remove this kind of paper for printing text-only documents. If the paper is curled, uncurl it before printing. To uncurl the paper, see "Paper is curled." on page 125. Put unused paper back into the package, and store them out of direct sunlight in a place where the temperature and humidity are low. Keep them on a level surface to avoid curling and wrinkling. If the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat, ink may blur depending on the paper. Photo Paper Pro Guidelines Do not touch the print surface until the ink is dry (approx. 30 minutes). Colors in dark images may appear indistinct at first, but will become clearer after approx. 30 minutes. Images may become smudged if you place them in an album before the ink is completely dry. It is recommended that you allow the ink to dry for 24 hours. Do not attempt to dry the ink with a hair dryer or by exposing printouts to direct sunlight. Do not store or display printouts in hot, damp, or humid conditions. Never expose them to heat or direct sunlight. Store printouts in photo albums, photo frames, or presentation binders to protect them from direct exposure to air or sunlight. Do not mount printouts in an adhesive-type album as you may not be able to remove them. Be aware that some types of clear plastic folders and albums may cause the edges of the paper to turn yellow. About the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette You can load paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette. Loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder is easy, and is convenient if you frequently switch to and print on various sizes or types of paper. Loading paper in the Cassette allows you to print without reloading paper for each job. This is convenient for loading a certain type of paper, such as plain paper, you regularly print onto. Loading paper in both the Auto Sheet Feeder and Cassette makes the following paper feed methods available: Some types of paper cannot be used on the Cassette. See "Recommended Paper and Requirements" on page 22. 24 Before Printing Chapter 1 Changing the Paper Source to Feed Different Types/Sizes of Paper If you load plain paper in the Cassette and photo paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder, changing the paper source allows you to print on both types of paper without removing and reloading paper. To change the paper source, use [Feed Switch] on the machine or printer driver. You can also specify the type/size of paper to be fed from the Cassette for regular use with the printer driver. For example, you can specify that Letter-sized plain paper is always fed from the Cassette whenever you print.
