Do not attempt to use the printer in any way not described in this manual. Warning ® You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the printer if you ignore any of these safety precautions. s Choosing a location Do not place the printer close to flammable solvents, such as alcohol or thinners. s 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. 8 Safety Precautions Never plug the printer into a power socket (extension cord, double adapter, etc.) that powers multiple devices. 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 the Canon Customer Care Center. Periodically, unplug the printer and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collects 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 that collects on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire. s 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. 9 Safety Precautions s 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. s Working around the printer Do not use inflammable sprays near the printer. This could cause a fire or electric shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components inside the printer. 10 Safety Precautions Caution ® You may cause injury or damage the printer if you ignore any of these safety precautions. s 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 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) and humidity of 10% to 90% (condensation free). Do not place the printer on a thick rug or carpet. Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the power cord if necessary. When moving the printer, carry the printer at both ends. 11 Safety Precautions s Power supply Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord. Do not use a powerstrip. Never use a power supply voltage other than that supplied in the country of purchase. The correct power supply voltages and frequencies are as follows: USA/Canada: AC 120V, 60Hz Europe: AC 230V ± 10%, 50Hz Australia: AC 240V, 50Hz 12 Safety Precautions s Working around the printer Never put your hands or fingers in the printer while it is printing. 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) falls into the printer, unplug the power cord and call the Canon Customer Care Center. s Printheads and ink tanks For safety reasons store printheads and ink tanks out of the reach of small children. If a child ingests any ink, consult a doctor immediately. Do not shake printheads or ink tanks. Ink may leak out and stain clothing or the surrounding area. Never touch the electrical contacts on a printhead after printing. The metal parts may be very hot and could cause burns. 13 Safety Precautions s About the Operation Panel If the operation panel becomes damaged and the liquid crystal solution in the panel leaks out, DO NOT taste or swallow the liquid. If the liquid is accidentally swallowed, call a physician immediately. If the liquid gets on your hands or clothes, wash them immediately with soap. 14 Printer Driver Functions (Windows) Printer Driver Functions (Windows) · Opening the Printer Properties Dialog Box · Printer Properties Dialog Box Description · BJ Status Monitor Functions · Cancelling a Print Job · Uninstalling Printer Drivers 15 Printer Driver Functions (Windows) Opening the Printer Properties Dialog Box The Printer Properties dialog box can be opened from either within an application, or directly from the Windows Start menu. s Opening the Printer Properties dialog box from an application This method is generally used to specify printer settings just before printing.
