Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your fax.

Handling and maintenance
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the fax.
• Do not subject the fax to strong physical shock or vibration.
• Always unplug the fax before moving or cleaning it.
• To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the printer cover, or remove paper from the multi-
purpose tray while printing.
• When transporting the fax, leave the BJ cartridge installed in the cartridge holder and tape the cartridge
holder to the right side of the fax. This will prevent ink spilling inside the fax.
• Always lift the fax by its base as shown below. Never lift it by any of its attachments or covers.
• Do not push objects of any kind into the slots or openings on the fax as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts. This could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the fax. If something does fall
into the fax, unplug it immediately and contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
• To avoid spillage in or around the fax, do not eat or drink near it. If you spill liquid or if any substance
falls into the fax, unplug the fax immediately and contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon
help line.
• Keep the fax clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the fax from operating properly.
• Unplug the fax from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified personnel under the following
conditions:
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid has spilled into the fax.
– If the fax has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the fax does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in this guide. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the instructions in this guide. Improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and may require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to
normal operation.
– If the fax has been dropped or the body has been damaged.
– If the fax exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for servicing.
Caution
Except as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service the fax yourself. Never
attempt to disassemble the fax: opening and removing its interior covers will expose you to
dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service, contact your local authorised Canon dealer or
the Canon help line.
