Before Using the Scanner 9
Chapter 1
• Do not block ventilation openings. Doing so could case the
scanner to overheat, creating a risk of fire.
• Never place small metal objects such as staples, paper clips, or
jewelry on the scanner. These items may fall into the scanner,
and cause a fire or electric shock. Should such objects ever fall
inside the scanner, immediately turn the power switch OFF, and
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Then, contact
your local authorized Canon dealer or service representative to
have the unit serviced.
• Do not locate the scanner in a humid or dusty location. Doing so
might cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not place objects on top of the scanner. Such objects may tip
or fall over, resulting in personal injury.
• When unplugging the power cord, grasp it firmly by its plug. Do
not pull directly on the power cord, as this may damage or
expose the cord’s internal wiring, resulting in a fire or electric
shock.
• Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be
unplugged easily. If objects are placed around the power plug,
you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.
• Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, paint
thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill into the scanner, as this may
result in a fire or electric shock.
• Turn OFF the power switch for safety when not using the
scanner for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, turn
OFF the power switch, and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet for safety when the machine will not be used for an
extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the
scanner while you are using it. This may result in personal
injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything
becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the
power cord to stop the scanner.
• Be careful when placing paper in the scanner and when
removing jammed paper. It is possible to cut your hand on the
edge of a sheet of paper.
