Avoid poorly ventilated locations. During use, the machine generates ozone. However, the amount of ozone generated is not enough to affect the human body. Nevertheless, if the machine is used for a prolonged period of time in a poorly ventilated room, or when making a large quantity of prints, be sure to ventilate the room to make the working environment as comfortable as possible.
Make sure the machine is approximately 4" (10 cm) away from walls and other equipment for proper ventilation.
Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature changes, and always stays between 50F and 90.5F (10C and 32.5C).
Make sure the relative humidity of the area is between 20% and 80%.
Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
Power Supply
WARNING Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the
power cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical damage and result in a fire or electrical shock.
Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the power cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands, as this may result in electrical shock.
Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Insert the power plug completely into the power outlet, as failure to do so may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in a fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated for voltages of 120 V AC and over, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the power cord and the extension cord.

Print Media Requirements 2-1
2Paper Handling
This chapter describes the media you can use with this machine, how to load them, and where the documents come out.
Print Media Requirements
For high-quality copies, we recommend using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon. Some types of paper available at office supply stores may not be suitable for this machine. If you have any questions about paper and transparencies, contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or the Canon Customer Care Center.
Paper Storage In order to prevent paper jams, follow this procedure below:
To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store paper in a dry location, out of direct sunlight.
To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.
If the paper is curled, uncurl it before loading it in the cassette or multi-purpose feeder. Failure to do so will cause paper creases and a paper jam.

Making Copies
NOTE When making copies on LTR-size paper after having continuously copied on paper
smaller than LTR-size paper, the copies may be dirty. To prevent copies from being dirty, wait about 1 minute before making copies.
When making copies of a small size or heavy paper*, etc., the copy speed may be slightly slower than usual. * The paper type should be selected in the Menu. (See "Specifying the Paper Type," on p. 2-12.)
If you intend to make a copy and print with a thermal transfer printer using the same sheet of paper, make the copy first. Failure to do so may make copies dirty or cause a paper jam.
When copying onto transparencies, remove each transparency from the output tray as it is output.

For details on how to place documents, see "Placing a Document on the Platen Glass," on p. 3-3.
2 Press [COPY].
3 Use the numeric keys to enter the number of copies.
You can set up to 99 copies.
4 Adjust any necessary settings for your document. Specify the size and the type of the paper you load in the cassette or the
multi-purpose feeder. (See "Specifying the Paper Size and Type (Common for Cassette and Multi-Purpose Feeder)," on p. 2-11.)
Press [Image Quality] to select the scanning resolution. (See "Adjusting the Image Quality (Resolution)," on p. 5-5.)
