Before You Start Using This Machine CHAPTER This chapter describes what you should know before using this machine, such as parts and their functions, and how to turn ON the main power. Installation Location and Handling ......... . 1-2 Installation Precautions .
Installation Location and Handling This section describes precautions for installation location and handling. We recommend that you read this section prior to using this machine. Installation Precautions Avoid Installing the Machine in the Following Locations ■ Avoid locations subject to temperature and humidity extremes, whether low or high.
Page 21
■ Avoid poorly ventilated locations. This machine generates a slight amount of ozone during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone may be more noticeable during extended use or long production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms. It is recommended that the room be appropriately ventilated, sufficient to maintain a comfortable working environment, in areas of machine operation.
Page 22
■ Avoid exposing the machine to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in which the machine is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the machine. This may result in a noticeable degradation in the quality of the copied image, the inability to properly scan an original, or the copies having no printed image at all.
Moving the Machine ■ If you intend to move the machine, even to a location on the same floor of your building, contact your local authorized Canon dealer beforehand. Do not attempt to move the machine yourself. Installation Location and Handling...
Handling Precautions ■ Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. ■ Some parts inside the machine are subject to high-voltages and temperatures. Take adequate precautions when inspecting the inside of the machine. Do not carry out any inspections not described in this manual.
Page 25
■ If there is smoke, or unusual noise, immediately turn the main power switch OFF, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, and call your local authorized Canon dealer. Using the machine in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock. Also, avoid placing objects around the power plug so that the machine can be disconnected whenever necessary.
