Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you use the printer safely. 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.

■ Choosing a location

Do not place the printer close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.

■ 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

Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead, double adapter, etc.).

Safety Precautions

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 for service.

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.

■ 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

■ 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.

■ Working around the printer

Do not use flammable 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.

■ 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 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) 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

■ Power supply

Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.

Do not use an extension lead.

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:

Europe: AC 230V

±

10%, 50Hz

USA/Canada: AC 120V, 60Hz

Australia: AC 240V, 50Hz

12

Safety Precautions

■ 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 for service.

■ Print heads and ink tanks

For safety reasons store print heads and ink tanks out of the reach of small children.

If a child ingests any ink, consult a doctor immediately.

Do not shake print heads or ink tanks.

Ink may leak out and stain clothing or the surrounding area.

Never touch the electrical contacts on a print head after printing.

The metal parts may be very hot and could cause burns.

Normal-size Printing The document is printed according to the original dimensions. This setting is usually selected by default.

Fit-to-Page Printing The document is automatically resized to fit the paper size.

When using this function, ensure you correctly specify the

Scaled Printing

Page Size and the Printer Paper Size.

The document is resized when printed. When this is selected, you can specify the Printer Paper Size and

Scaling.

Page Layout Printing Pages are reduced and printed so that 2 to 16 document pages fit on each printed page. With Windows NT 4.0, only a

Poster Printing

2-page layout is possible.

This enlarges and splits the print image across several sheets of paper. The printed sheets can then be assembled to make a large poster. (Not available in Windows NT 4.0)

Booklet Printing

Banner Printing

The multiple-page document is printed so that two pages of the document fit on each printed page. The print order is set automatically. After the document is printed, you can create a booklet by folding and saddle-stitching the document. (Not available in Windows NT4.0)

Select this when printing on banner paper.

(4) Borderless Printing

The image is printed on the entire paper surface, so that no margins are left on the four sides of the paper. The media types available for Borderless Printing are PR-101,

(5) Amount of Extension

When you select Borderless Printing, the sections that extend beyond the paper are not printed because the image is enlarged to a size slightly larger than the paper size.

You can use the slide bar to adjust how much the image extends beyond the paper.

Canon recommends that under normal conditions you set the slide bar to the third mark from the left, counting the leftmost mark as zero. If you move the slide bar to the left to reduce the extension amount, a border may appear.

When to Replace Ink Tank and Maintain Print Head

When an ink tank is empty, it must be replaced.

The BJ Status Monitor (Windows) or the BJ Print Monitor (Macintosh) will initially advise you of a low ink level. At this stage, you can still continue to print.

Once an ink tank is empty, the BJ Status Monitor (Windows) or the BJ Print Monitor

(Macintosh) will tell you to replace the ink tank. Attempting to print causes the POWER lamp to flash four times.

Replacing an Ink Tank

If printing becomes faint or a specific color is no longer printing, even though there is still enough ink, the print head nozzles are probably clogged. Follow the procedures below to clean the nozzles.

Troubleshooting

Printed Surface is Scratched

■ Ensure you are using suitable paper.

• The paper weight must be less than 105 gsm (28 lb).

If you use non-Canon brand paper heavier than 105 gsm (28 lb), the print head may scratch the printed surface.

Clean the print head first and print with the correct paper.

• The paper must not be curled.

This problem can be resolved by simply turning the paper over.

■ Before starting Borderless Printing, check the paper that you are using.

With Borderless Printing, the print quality may decrease or smudging may occur at the top and bottom edges of the paper. Use Photo Paper Pro, Photo Paper Plus Glossy,

Matte Photo Paper or Glossy Photo Paper. If smudging still occurs, set the Paper

Thickness Lever to the right and try printing again.

■ When printing on thick paper, set the paper thickness lever to the " " mark.

This widens a gap between the print head and the paper. If the paper is scratched even when printing on plain paper, also try this.

Print Quality is Poor or Contains Errors 135

Printer Does Not Start or Stops During Print Jobs 143

Troubleshooting

Printing Stops Before It is Completed

■ Check the status of the POWER lamp.

When the POWER lamp is flashing green, the printer is processing data. Printing a large amount of data such as a photo or graphics takes time for the computer to process the data, during which the printer may appear to not be functioning.

In addition, when continuously printing material that uses a large amount of black ink on plain paper, the printer will sometimes pause. In either case, simply wait until the processing is completed.

■ Halt the print job and turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes to cool the print head down.

The print head can overheat when continuously printing for long time. To protect the print head, the printer will sometimes pause automatically at a line break before resuming.

In this event, interrupt the print job at a convenient time and turn the printer off for at least

15 minutes.

Furthermore, when continuously printing graphics or photos with intense colors, printing may stop to protect the print head. In this case, printing will not resume. Turn the printer off and wait for at least 15 minutes.

Caution ➤

Inside the printer, the area around the print head can become extremely hot. Do not touch the print head or nearby components.

Troubleshooting

Windows

■ Ensure the application program you are using is intended for your operating system.

For example, if you attempt to print with a Windows 3.1 application under Windows XP, the application may not function correctly and an error may occur.

Use an application program intended for your operating system.

■ If other applications are running, close them to increase available memory and try printing again.

■ Ensure that enough memory is allocated to the application.

Refer to the memory requirements of your application.

An Error Message is Displayed on the Screen 159

Troubleshooting

■ Check the amount of free space on the hard disk.

You may need to increase the amount of free space by deleting any unnecessary files.

■ If the problem only occurs when printing a specific document, try editing the document and then printing it.

If this resolves the problem, there may have been a problem in the original document. If the same problem occurs with the edited document, contact the manufacturer of your application.

■ The printer driver may not be installed correctly. Uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it.

For Faster Printing

The USB interface provides the quickest printing with Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows

2000 and Windows XP. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for USB connection details.

When using the parallel printer interface, use the ECP data transfer mode for faster printing.

Note ➤

The ECP mode may not speed up printing on some computers.

1

To enable the ECP mode, first confirm the following:

• The printer and computer are connected with a parallel printer cable.

• The printer driver has been installed.

• The printer port of the computer supports the ECP mode.

• The parallel port is set to ECP mode in the BIOS settings.

Note ➤

Refer to your computer manual for details on printer port specifications and

BIOS settings.
