[A-04] Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
When cleaning the printer, turn off the printer and computer, remove the interface
cables, and then unplug the power plug. Failure to do so can result in a fire or
electrical shock.
Unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet periodically and clean the area
around the base of the power plug's metal pins and the AC power outlet with a dry
cloth to remove all dust and grime. In damp, dusty, or smoky locations, dust can
build up around the power plug and become damp, which can cause a short circuit,
resulting in a fire.
Clean the printer with a well wrung out cloth dampened with water or mild
detergent diluted with water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other
flammable substances. If flammable substances come into contact with electrical
parts inside the printer, this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Some areas inside the printer are subject to high voltage. When removing jammed
paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, be careful not to allow
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this
can result in burns or electrical shock.
Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open flames. This may cause the toner
remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or fire.
If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together
or wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never
use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to
clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or
result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.
Confirm that the power plug or power connecter is inserted completely after
cleaning the printer. Failure to do so can result in an overheating and fire.
Check the power cord and plug regularly. The following conditions may result in
fire, so contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
There are burn marks on the power plug.
The blade on the power plug is deformed or broken.
The power is turned OFF or ON when bending the power cord.
The coating of the power cord is damaged, cracked, or dented.
A part of the power cord becomes hot.
Check regularly that the power cord, plug, and connector are not handled in the
following manner. Failure to do so can result in a fire or electrical shock.
The power connector is loosened.
The power plug is loosened.
Stress is being applied to the power cord by a heavy object or by
fixing it with staples.
The power cord is tied in a bundle.
A part of the power cord is put in an aisle.
The power cord is put in front of the heating appliance.
