About Locations
WARNING
• Do not place the scanner near flammable liquids such as alcohol or thinners. If the internal electrical
parts come in contact with flammable liquids, fire or electrical shock may result.
CAUTION
• Do not place the scanner in areas with high humidity, areas subject to direct sunlight, areas with high
temperatures and areas near flame sources. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not place the scanner on shaky stands, unstable surfaces or surfaces subject to frequent
vibrations. If the scanner falls, it may cause injuries.
• Do not place heavy objects on the scanner. Objects may fall and cause injuries.
• Do not push the scanner into a narrow cabinet or put a tablecloth on it or place on a thick rug. If the
scanner has heat, it may cause fire or damage.
About the Power Supply
WARNING
• Do not plug the power cord into outlets with voltages other than the specified voltages. Incorrect
voltages may result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place heavy objects on, pull or excessively bend, twist or tie the power cord. Damaged wires
may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Unplug the power cord from the outlet periodically and use a dry cloth to clean the area around the
base of the outlet to ensure that all dust is removed. Also do not plug in/unplug the power cord with
wet hands. Fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not connect excessive numbers of plugs into one electrical outlet. Fire or electrical shock may
result.
• Always plug the power cord in all the way. If it is not plugged in completely, fire or electrical shock
may result.
• Do not use cables other than the one supplied. Fire or electrical shock may result.
CAUTION
• When unplugging the power cord, always pull on the main body. Pulling the cord may damage the
wires and lead to fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place objects around the power cord in case it needs to be unplugged during emergencies.

Safety Precautions
General Handling Precautions
WARNING
• Do not take apart or modify the scanner and supplies. Fire or electrical shock may result from
improper handling of its components.
• If you hear unusual noises, see smoke, feel excessive heat or smell anything unusual, immediately
unplug the power cord and contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk. Continued
use of the scanner may result in fires or electrical shock.
• Do not use flammable sprays near the scanner. Also do not enter metallic objects or spill water,
liquids, or flammable materials on the scanner. If they enter and contact the inner electrical parts, fire
or electrical shock may result.
• When cleaning the scanner, always unplug the power cord. Wipe with a soft dry cloth. When it is still
dirty, use a cloth damped with water and wrung well, and then wipe off moisture with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use flammable liquids such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If a flammable liquid enters the
inner electrical parts or the cables are damaged by plugging/unplugging, fire or electrical shock may
result.
If anything enters the scanner, immediately unplug the power cord. Then contact your retailer or Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
CAUTION
• Do not release the document cover until it completely opens/closes. If the document cover falls, it
may lead to pinch your hands or damage the scanner and result in injury.
• Do not place items that weigh 4.4 lbs. (2.0 kg) or more on the document glass. Also, do not press
heavily (i.e., more than 4.4 lbs. (2.0 kg)) on the document cover or the document glass. The
document glass may break and cause personal injury.
• Do not bump the document glass or drop heavy books or objects on it. The document glass may
break and injure you.
• When not in use for extended periods, unplug the power cord for safety.
• When transporting the scanner, always unplug the cables. Damaged cables could cause fire or
electrical shock.
• Do not use the supplied CD-ROM in regular CD players. It produces excessively loud sound that may
cause hearing damage.
Setup and Operating Conditions
• Do not set up in areas where there are excessive fluctuations in temperature. Also do not move the
scanner from low-temperature areas to high-temperature areas. Condensation may cause image
errors. Leave the scanner enough time to gradually adapt to the new conditions before use.
• Do not place the scanner in areas subject to direct sunlight or strong room light. It may cause
damage to the scanner or decrease image quality. If you have to place it in direct sunlight, make sure
to use a thick curtain to block the light.
• Leave enough space (approximately 8 in. (20 cm)) around the scanner when setting up.
