To Prevent Damage from Condensation
Condensation may form in the printer if you suddenly move it from a cold location to a
warm location. To prevent damage that might be caused by condensation, place the printer
in a sealed plastic bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room temperature before using
it. Stop using the printer immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage
the equipment. Wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
o
Cleaning the Printer
Never use benzene, paint thinner, or other volatile solvents to clean the printer. Volatile
solvents may cause deformation or peeling of the printer's casing. To clean the printer, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth. If stronger cleaning is required, wipe first with a cloth moistened with a
dilute neutral solvent, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. If you use a chemical cleaning
cloth, read the instructions that come with it and observe all indicated precautions.
Keep the air vents clean and free of dust. Clean the vents as necessary. Oust that enters
the printer through the vents may land on the ink sheet, resulting in poor print quality and
possibly leading to printer breakdown. If the ink sheet becomes dusty, remove the ink
cassette and replace it with a new one .
• Proper Handling of Ink Cassettes
Please use only the ink cassettes specified for use by Canon.
Do not open the ink cassette cover while printing is in progress, and do not pull the
ink cassette out. These actions may damage the printer.
Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet.
Do not handle the ink cassettes with wet or sweaty hands.
Allow ink cassettes to reach room temperature before installing and using them.
Condensation may form if you suddenly move ink cassettes from a cold location to a warm
location. If there is risk of condensation, leave the cassette in its packaging until it reaches
room temperature, and wipe away any moisture before loading it.
If you are not planning to use the printer for a While, remove and store the ink cassette.
