Cassette

„ Print Media to Avoid

Do not use the following types of paper. Using such paper will not only produce unsatisfactory results, but can also cause the printer to jam or malfunction.

• Folded, curled or wrinkled paper

• Damp paper

• Excessively thin paper (less than 64 gsm or 17 lb)

• Excessively thick paper* (more than 105 gsm or 28 lb)

* non-Canon branded paper

• Picture postcards

• Postcards affixed with photos or stickers

• Envelopes with double flaps

• Envelopes with sticker flaps

• Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface

• Any type of paper with holes

Basic Printing

„ Using the Auto Sheet Feeder and the 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:

* Legal-sized paper and 2.13" x 3.39"/ 54.0 x 86.0 mm size paper, and Photo Stickers are not loadable in the

Cassette.

• 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 the Paper Feed

Switch on the printer 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.

For information on the printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver

Guide .

You can switch between paper loaded in the Auto Sheet

Feeder (e.g., 4" x 6" / 101.6 x

152.4 mm) and the Cassette

(e.g., Letter-sized paper).

5

Basic Printing

• Continuous printing on the same type/size of paper by using both the Auto Sheet

Feeder and Cassette together

If the Auto Sheet Feeder or Cassette runs out of paper, the paper source automatically switches to the other one. This is useful for printing onto a large volume of paper. To use this feature, you need to configure the printer driver beforehand.

For information on the printer driver settings, refer to the Printer Driver

Guide .

If the Auto Sheet Feeder runs out of paper, the paper source automatically changes to the

Cassette.

• Choosing the paper source to match the location of the printer

You can use just the Auto Sheet Feeder or Cassette according to the location of the printer.

For example, if you intend to install the printer in a small place, such as on a shelf with minimal space, you can use just the Cassette for printing.

Legal-sized paper and 2.13" x 3.39"/ 54.0 x 86.0 mm size paper, and

Photo Stickers are not loadable in the Cassette.

If you intend to use only the Cassette, check any usage restrictions in advance.

Safety Precautions

Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you use your printer safely. Do not attempt to use printer in any way not described in this manual.

You may cause an electric shock, fire or damage the printer if you ignore any of these safety precautions.

Choosing a location

Power supply

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

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.

Never plug the printer into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.).

Cleaning the printer

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 collected 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 collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.

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.

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.

92

Appendix

You may cause injury or damage the printer if you ignore any of these safety precautions.

Choosing a location

Power supply

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.

Do not place the printer with its back attached to the wall.

Ensure that the area around the power outlet is kept clear at all times so you can easily unplug the power cord if necessary.

Never remove the plug by pulling on the cord.

Do not use an extension lead/ cord.

Working around the printer

Never use a power supply source other than the one rated for the printer in the country where you purchased the printer.

AC 110-120 V, 50/60 Hz

AC 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz

Never put your hands or fingers in the printer while it is printing.

Do not place any object on the printer.

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) fall into the printer, unplug the power cord and call for service.

Do not transport or store the printer on a slant, vertically or upside-down, as the ink may leak and damage the printer.

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.

Radio wave interference Since the microwave oven and the wireless LAN system use the same frequency bandwidth, the microwave oven can be the potential source of interference when the microwave oven is on.

Placing this product close to microwave oven may result in the poor status of radio.

(b) Use of parts or supplies (other than those sold by Canon USA) that cause damage to the Product or cause abnormally frequent service calls or service problems.

(c) If the Product has had its serial number or dating defaced, altered or removed.

PROPERTY AND TO OTHERS AND THEIR PROPERTY ARISING OUT OF THE POSSESSION, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE

PRODUCT SOLD BY CANON USA NOT CAUSED SOLELY AND DIRECTLY BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF CANON USA, OR ITS ASF. (SOME

In the event service is required for the Product during the limited warranty period, Canon USA offers two hardware support options:

Authorized Service Facility Carry-In / Mail-In Service

Canon USA's Carry-In/Mail-In Service provides repair or exchange, at Canon USA's option, through Canon USA's Authorized

Service Facility (ASF) network. The name and telephone number of the ASF(s) near you may be obtained from Canon USA's

Web site at: www.canontechsupport.com or by calling the Canon USA Customer Care Center at 1-800-828-4040, or any time while speaking to a technical support person. A Product covered by this limited warranty will be repaired or exchanged, as determined by Canon USA, and returned without charge by the ASF.

InstantExchange Service **

A Canon Customer Care Center or ASF technician will attempt to diagnose the nature of the problem and, if possible, correct it over the telephone. If the problem cannot be corrected over the telephone, and you elect the InstantExchange option, a reference number will be issued to you. You will be asked for the Product serial number and other information pertaining to your defective Product and for a ship-to location for the replacement Product (must include street address).

The Canon USA repair facility will ship out the replacement Product, via 2nd day Air freight service, prepaid by Canon USA.

After receipt of the replacement Product (with instructions and a prepaid waybill), follow the enclosed instructions on how to ship the defective Product to the Canon USA repair facility. The defective Product must be returned in the shipping carton in which the replacement Product was packed and include the reference number, A COPY OF YOUR DATED PROOF OF

PURCHASE (BILL OF SALE), and a complete explanation of the problem. DO NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER ITEMS WITH THE

DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IN THE RETURN SHIPPING CARTON, AND BE SURE TO RETAIN YOUR PRINTHEAD AND INK CARTRIDGE(S)

AND TANK(S).

InstantExchange Service expedites, usually by the second business day, the exchange of a defective Product with a replacement Product, which will normally be shipped the same day if your request for this service is by 3 p.m. E.T. Monday through Friday, except holidays (three (3) business day InstantExchange Service for Alaska and Hawaii). Canon USA does not guarantee expedited shipping service in the event of the occurrence of factors beyond its reasonable control. The replacement Product you receive may be a refurbished or reconditioned unit and will be covered for the balance of the period remaining on your original limited warranty. NOTE THAT BY USING THIS SERVICE YOU WILL KEEP THE REPLACEMENT

PRODUCT THAT IS SENT TO YOU. CANON USA WILL RETAIN THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT YOU ORIGINALLY PURCHASED,

WHICH SHALL BECOME THE PROPERTY OF CANON USA. InstantExchange warranty program service is available only during the express limited-warranty period for your Product and only in the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii during such period.

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

* Support program specifics are subject to change without notice.
