Make sure that the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.

Make sure to test print before purchasing large quantities of copy paper.

Keep the paper wrapped in its original package (unopened or opened) and

stored in a cool, dry place until ready to use. Make sure to keep it on a flat

surface.

Store paper stacks in a place where temperatures are somewhere between

CAUTION

To print on damp paper

The following problems may occur.

•

Steam is emitted from the machine’s

•

Water droplets form on the back side of

Moisture evaporates from damp paper

due to the heat generated inside the fixing

unit (it is most likely to occur at low room

temperatures). This is not a malfunction, but

you can prevent this by using a stack of new

unopened paper.

Should you smell something burning,

immediately turn OFF the machine, unplug

the power plug from the AC power outlet,

and contact your local authorized Canon

dealer or the Canon help line. Continued use

may lead to a fire or electrical shock.
