xvi
• Do not use any electrical cables other than the supplied cord. Doing so may cause
fire or electrical shock.
• As a general rule, do not connect the printer using an extension cord or connect
more than one appliance to a single power outlet. However, if there is no choice but to
use an extension cord or connect multiple appliances to a single power outlet, it is
the responsibility of the user to observe the following precautions. If these points are
not followed correctly, a fire or electrical shock may result.
- Do not connect one extension cord to another.
- Make sure that the voltage rating of the power plug for the product you are using is
the same as the voltage printed on the rating label (Detailed on the rear surface of
the product).
- Use an extension cord that can carry an electrical current sufficiently larger than the
electrical current requirements shown on the rating label of the printer (Detailed on
the rear surface of the product).
- When you use an extension cord, uncoil the cord and insert the power plug
completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the
power cord and the extension cord.
- Periodically check that the extension cord is not overly warm.
CAUTION
• Do not use a power source with a voltage other than that indicated. Doing so may
cause fire or electrical shock.
• When you unplug the power cord, make sure you hold the cord by the plug. If you pull
on the cord itself, the cord may experience damage such as exposure of the core
wires or an open circuit, and electrical current leaking out of the damaged section
can cause fires or electrical shock.
• Whenever you pull out the power plug, make sure there are no objects around the
power plug. Do not pull out the power plug in an emergency.
Handling
WARNING
• Do not disassemble or modify this product. This product contains high voltage and
high temperature internal parts, which could cause a fire or electrical shock if
tampered with.
• Electrical components can produce unexpected hazards if not handled correctly.
Make sure that the power cord, cables, and internal gears and electrical components
are kept out of reach of children.
• If this product emits strange noises, smoke, excess heat, or unusual smells, turn the
power off immediately, and disconnect the USB cable if it is connected. Next, pull out
the power plug, and contact the store where you purchased this printer. Continuing to
use a faulty printer may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use flammable sprays near this product. If the gas from the spray comes into
contact with the electrical unit inside the printer it may ignite or cause an electrical
shock.
xvii
• When you are moving the printer, always turn the printer off, unplug the power plug,
and remove the interface cable. If you move the printer without unplugging the
cables, the electrical cord and interface cable may be damaged, causing a fire or
electrical shock.
• Do not drop paper clips, staples, or any other metallic objects into the printer. Do not
spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) onto
the printer. If any of these items come into contact with the electrical unit inside the
printer they may ignite or cause an electrical shock. If any of these objects fall into
the printer, turn the printer off immediately, and disconnect the USB cable if it is
connected. After this, pull out the power plug, and contact the store where you
purchased this printer.
• If you are connecting or disconnecting the USB cable while the printer power plug is
connected to a power outlet, make sure that you do not touch the metal parts of the
connector. Doing so may cause an electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Do not put any heavy objects on top of this product. If a heavy object topples over or
falls it can cause personal injuries.
• Take care when you are handling expansion boards. Do not touch the corners or
sharp areas of an expansion board as this may cause personal injury.
• If you will not use the printer for a long period of time, such as at night time, turn the
printer off for safety reasons. Furthermore, if you will not use the printer for a longer
period of time, such as a weekend, turn the printer off and unplug the power plug for
safety.
• Laser light can be harmful to the human body. In products that are designed for laser
light, the laser scanning unit is sealed behind a cover, and there is virtually no risk of
being exposed to the laser light if the product is operated normally. Be sure to
observe the following safety precautions.
- Never open any of the covers unless directed to by this manual.
- Do not remove the caution label attached to the cover of the laser scanner unit.
- If the laser beam escapes from the printer, exposure may cause serious damage to
your eyes.
- The LBP5200 has been verified as a Class 1 laser product in compliance with
IEC60825-1:1993.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• Turn the printer off, disconnect the USB cable and remove the power plug from the
wall when you are cleaning the printer. Failure to do so may cause fire or electrical
shock.
• When cleaning the printing, always use a cloth dipped in plain water or water
containing a mild soap solution and firmly wring the excess moisture out of the cloth
before use. Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other inflammable
substance. If an inflammable substance comes into contact with the electrical unit
inside the printer it may ignite or cause an electrical shock.
• There is a high-voltage unit inside this product. When you are clearing paper jams or
inspecting the interior of the printer, make sure that a necklace, bracelet, or other
metallic object does not touch the inside of the printer. Doing so may cause burns or
an electrical shock.
• Do not put spent drum cartridges or spent toner cartridges into a fire. Any toner
remaining in the drum or toner cartridges may ignite, causing burns or fire.
• Unplug the power plug periodically and wipe away any dust or dirt that has built up
around the power outlet. If the power plug is left connected for a long period of time
in a dusty, humid, or smoky environment, dust that gathers around the power outlet
will absorb moisture and reduce the effectiveness of the insulation, leading to fires.
CAUTION
• Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this manual.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those controls that
are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment could result in
personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered
under your Limited Warranty.
• The area around the fuser unit inside the printer becomes hot during use. If you are
inspecting the inside of the printer while you are clearing a paper jam, etc. take care
not to touch the area around the fuser unit. Doing so can cause burns.
• Be careful to avoid staining your clothes or hands with toner while you are clearing a
paper jam, replacing the drum cartridge or replacing a toner cartridge. If you do get
any toner on your clothes or hands, wash it off immediately with cold water. If you
rinse using hot water the toner may become fixed, creating a stain that cannot be
removed.
xix
• When you are clearing jammed paper from inside the printer, remove the paper gently
so that toner that is on the jammed paper does not spray out of the printer. This could
lead to toner getting in your eyes or mouth. If toner gets into your eyes or mouth,
wash it out immediately with cold water and consult a doctor.
• When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands with
the edges of the paper.

Features and Benefits
■ High Definition Full Color Printing
1
Before You Start Using This Printer
This printer is fitted with a 600 dpi full color laser printer engine. Through additional
gradation control, this delivers 9600 dpi equivalent x 600 dpi high quality printing.
Furthermore, calibration processing provides consistently stable images.
■ High Performance Printing System "CAPT"
Canon's latest high performance printing system for the Windows operating system,
CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), has been built into a color printer for the
first time. This system allows the data processing that was previously handled by the
printer during printing to be batch processed by the computer, delivering high-speed
printing that utilizes the full power of the computer. In addition, this means that even heavy
data can be processed without the need for expansion memory in the printer.
■ Compact Design
Although LBP5200 is a color printer, it is compact enough to fit on a desktop.
■ USB 2.0 High Speed Installed as Standard
The LBP5200 delivers high-speed transmission by supporting a high-speed USB 2.0
interface that offers up to 480 Mbps transmission speeds.
■ Easy Maintenance
While the "intermediate transfer unit", "light sensitive drum" and "waste toner box"
consumable parts are typically separated in a normal printer, in the LBP5200, these have
been integrated into a single drum cartridge (Canon Genuine Parts), which reduces the
number of points at which consumable parts need to be replaced.
In addition, replacement of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Parts) and other
principle consumables can be done through the front panel, providing complete operation
from the front of the printer.
■ Low Power Consumption and Quick Startup
The use of On-Demand Fixing Technology delivers low power consumption and quick
startup. This unique Canon technology means that the fixing heater is only turned on
momentarily during printing, and no time is needed to warm up the printer. As a result,
you can always start printing directly from standby mode without any delay. This energy
saving design also means that the fuser unit uses virtually no power while the printer is in
standby mode.
■ Support for Various Types of Media
The LBP5200 is capable of printing various types of media including plain paper, heavy
paper, envelopes, index card and transparency (black and white printing only).
1-2
Features and Benefits
■ Network-Capable Printer
The LBP5200 can be used as an Ethernet network printer by installing the optional
network board.
■ User-Friendly Color Control
The user interface with thumbnails delivers intuitive and easy to use color tone
adjustment.

(The reverse side of the paper is also unusable.)
• Paper that is difficult for the toner to fix onto
- Paper with rough surfaces, such as handmade or rice paper
- Specially coated paper (coated paper for ink jet printers, etc.)
- Paper containing thick fibers
Storing Blank Paper
Even standard paper may deteriorate if not stored correctly. Degraded paper can
cause paper feed problems and paper jams, and may reduce printing quality.
Observe the following guidelines when storing and handling paper:
IMPORTANT
• Store paper away from moisture since paper quality deteriorates in a moist environment.
• The paper wrapper around new paper acts to prevent dampness and drying. Leave the
wrapper intact until you are ready to use the paper. You should also re-wrap the wrapper
around paper that you do not use.
• Store paper on a flat surface.
• Do not store paper on the floor where water and moisture can accumulate.
• Do not store paper in a place where it will curl or be creased.
• Do not store paper vertically or store too many stacks of paper in one pile.
• Do not store paper in places exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity.
• If there are extreme differences in temperature between the storage area and the place
where the paper is used, leave the paper in the wrapper in the usage area for about a
day to allow the paper to adjust before using it. Rapid changes in temperature and
humidity can cause paper to curl or wrinkle.
Loading and Collecting Paper
2
Storing Printouts
Observe the following guidelines when handling or storing documents printed using
this printer.
IMPORTANT
• Do not store in clear folders or with other PVC materials. This can dissolve the toner,
causing the paper to stick to the PVC material.
• When gluing paper, be sure to use insoluble adhesive. The use of soluble adhesives can
cause the toner to dissolve. When you first use an adhesive, test it on an unneeded
printout before use.
Whenever you stack printouts, check that the documents are completely dry. If the
printouts are stacked before they are not completely dry, the toner may dissolve.
• Store paper on a flat surface. If the paper becomes folded or wrinkled, the toner may
peel.
• Do not store in a high temperature place. This can cause the toner to melt, making the
colors bleed.
• If you are storing printouts for a long period of time (2 years or more), store them in a
binder, etc. (Long-term storage can make printouts appear discolored due to
discolorations in the paper.)

NOTE
The lifetimes of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Parts) used in this printer are given
below. Page counts are for A4 or Letter size paper at 5% page coverage using the factory
default print density setting. The level of toner consumption varies depending on the type
and content of documents printed. Because documents that contain few areas of white
space, such as figures, tables and graphs, consume larger amounts of toner, toner
cartridge life will be reduced if you print large amounts of this kind of document.
• For the toner cartridges that are included with the printer
- Black: Approx. 5,000 pages
- Yellow: Approx. 2,000 pages
- Magenta: Approx. 2,000 pages
- Cyan: Approx. 2,000 pages
• For replacement toner cartridges
- Black: Approx. 5,000 pages

(condensation) may form on the interior and exterior of the cartridge. If a new toner
cartridge that has been stored in a cool location is going to be installed in a warm area,
leave the cartridge for two or more hours without opening the protective bag to allow the
cartridge to adjust to the surrounding temperature before opening the bag.
• Be sure to use new toner cartridges before the expiration date indicated on the package.
• Do not store a cartridge in a hot or humid place, or a place where the temperature and
humidity can change rapidly.
Storing temperature range: 0 to 35°C (32 to 95°F)
Storing humidity range: 35 to 85% RH (no condensation)
• Do not store the toner cartridge in a place where corrosive gases, such as ammonia, are
generated, or where a considerable amount of salt is contained in the air, or where there
is a lot of dust.
• Keep the toner cartridge out of reach of small children.
■ Condensation
Even when the humidity is within the storage range, water droplets may form on the inside
or outside of the toner cartridge due to temperature differences with the surrounding air.
This condensation will have a bad effect on the performance of the toner cartridge.

life. It is recommended that you replace the fuser unit. The life of the fuser unit when
printing A4 is approximately 50,000 pages.
Data is not printed in the correct color (specified color), or colored text appears blurred due
to color deviation.
Cause 1
One of the four color-cartridges is almost out of toner, or the cartridge has
deteriorated.
Remedy 1 Perform a calibration. (See "Calibrating the Printer," on p. 5-30.)
Remedy 2 Open the [Consumables/Counters] dialog box, and replace the toner cartridge
that is almost empty with a new cartridge. (See "Replacing Toner Cartridges,"
on p. 5-2.)
Cause 2
Paper is inappropriate.
Remedy
Replace the paper with paper that can be used with this printer. (See "Paper
Requirements," on p. 2-2.)
Cause 3
Data was sent before completing calibration, such as when the printer was first
turned on.
Remedy
Make sure that the Ready lamp is on before sending data to the printer.
The colors of thin lines or filled-in patterns are different from the specified colors, or do not
appear at all.
7
Troubleshooting
Cause 1
Some colors cannot be reproduced due to the combination of colors or
patterns.
Remedy 1 Adjust the colors in the application and print again.
Remedy 2 Change the patterns with the application and print again.
Cause 2
The color may appear different depending on the fill-pattern.
Remedy
Readjust to a darker color and print again.
Fill-patterns are not printed in the correct color (specified color).
Cause
The fill-pattern of the print data and the dither pattern of the printer are
interfering with one another.
Remedy 1 Do not specify a fill-pattern in the application and print again.
Remedy 2 Change the [Color Halftones] setting in the printer driver to [Gradation] or [Color
Tone].
Specify [Color Halftones] in the [Details Settings] dialog box by clicking [Details]
in the [Quality] sheet.
7-36
Print Quality Problems
The displayed color and printed color differ when printing photos, etc.
Cause
The method for adjusting color on the screen (RGB) and in the printer (YMCK)
is different. Therefore, there may be cases when the color on the screen cannot
be printed out exactly as it appears.
Remedy 1 Select [Perceptual [Monitor Color Matched]] for [Matching Method] in the printer
driver.
Specify [Matching Method] in the [Matching] sheet by checking [Manual Color
Settings] in the [Quality] sheet and clicking [Color Settings].
Remedy 2 Adjust [Gamma] in the printer driver.

Cause 3
Paper is damp because it was stored in a bad environment.
Remedy
Replace the paper with new paper and print again. (See "Paper Requirements,"
on p. 2-2.)
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT
If none of the above actions solve the problem, the fuser unit is probably at the end of its
life. It is recommended that you replace the fuser unit. The life of the fuser unit when
printing A4 is approximately 50,000 pages.

About Color Printing
This section describes the fundamentals of colors and the way this printer
reproduces colors.
The Three Primary Colors of Light and Color
The colors that you see on a computer screen are reproduced from the three basic
colors red, green and blue. The 3 primary colors of light, which are red, green and
blue, can be combined to give white (additive color mixing).
Green
Appendix
White
Red
Blue
A color printer, however, does not use the 3 primary colors of light, but uses the
same 3 primary colors as used in paintings to reproduce colors. If the 3 primary
colors of paint, C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow) are mixed together, the
resulting color is black (subtractive color mixing).

About Color Printing

The three primary colors of light and color are thus in a complementary color
relationship.
The red in light and cyan in color, green in light and magenta in color, and blue in
light and yellow in color complement one another.

Method for Expressing Color
Appendix
Creating colors for painting involves mixing the colors on a palette to get a match. In
a computer display and printer, it is not possible to mix colors to match in the same
way as paints, so colors are reproduced by groups of colored dots.
8
Paints
Monitors and Printers
On the computer display, various colors are reproduced by the intensity of three
red, green, and blue dots.
Color Bar
8-8
About Color Printing
In the case of a printer, it is not possible to change the intensity of toner colors.
Because of this, a much larger number of dots are used compared to a computer
display, and various colors are reproduced by adding K (black) to the C (cyan), M
(magenta) and Y (yellow). This means that higher resolution color prints are
possible the smaller these dots are.

About Color Printing
Appendix
In color printing, the shape and color of images are expressed in groups of minute
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black dots.
Therefore, image data input to the printer is divided into cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black.

The data is reproduced separately on the light sensitive drum for each toner color,
and the toner is transferred onto an intermediate transfer medium.

The data for all four colors is then transferred onto paper, and the paper passes
through the fuser unit and is output.
Achieving More Beautiful Color Printing
If the color in the print are not as expected, or the image quality is low, or the
printout takes a long time, the printer performance is halved. By making minor
adjustments and taking a little bit of care, we can make sure we get 100% out of the
printer.
■ Adjusting the color on the display
Appendix
Colors that you can see on the computer display are not limited to true colors. If we
perform a color print based on the colors we can see on the computer display with the aim
of matching those colors, the printed colors will be a little different.
Use the color samples or color adjustment tools that come with the application software to
adjust the displayed colors to the colors that are actually printed.

About Color Printing
■ Adjusting the resolution
It doesn't matter how high the resolution of printing data is, you cannot get better picture
quality than the resolution of the printer. A resolution of 600 dpi at printer sizes is
sufficient. If the resolution of print data is too high, print processing will take a large
amount of time, and the data size will also grow. Conversely, if the data resolution is too
low, you cannot achieve sufficient image quality.
Check the dimensions and resolution of print data using an image processing application,
and set the resolution to 300 dpi or 200 dpi.
200dpi
600dpi
■ Selecting a print mode according to the document content
Reports and presentation material based on text and simple diagrams and black and
white documents that do not use color do not need high image quality and can be printed
using normal gradation. By changing to the mode for these documents, high-speed
printing can be achieved. To print color photographs and complex illustrations clearly, data
is printed with a high level of gradation. By categorizing modes based on the data, data
can be printed more efficiently.
NOTE
For details on gradation, refer to "Specifying the Print Quality," on p. 4-56.

Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall is a feature of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and other operating
systems that protects your computer by blocking unauthorized access over the
network.
If your print server is installed with an operating system equipped with Windows
Firewall, you need to configure Windows Firewall to unblock communication
between the print server and client computers.
This section explains how to use the [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] to configure
Windows Firewall to unblock or block communication with client computers.
