Safety Precautions

Follow the warnings and precautions below to use the printer safely. Do not perform any operations or procedures

other than as described in this manual. Doing so may result in unexpected accidents and can cause a fire or elec-

trical shocks.

Printer location

Warning

•

Do not set up the printer in any location exposed to alcohol, thinner, or other volatile liquids. If these substances

come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Caution

•

Never install the printer on an unstable or vibrating surface. If it falls over, this could cause personal injury.

•

Never set up the printer in a location that is exposed to high humidity or large amounts of dust, or exposed to

direct sunlight, high temperature, or open flame. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the printer loca-

tion in an environment where temperature and humidity are within the ranges of 15 °C to 30 °C (59 °F to 86 °F)

and 10 to 80% RH (with no condensation).

•

Never place the printer on a heavy wool or shag carpet. The fibers may enter the printer and cause a fire.

•

Keep the area around the power outlet clear of items so that you can disconnect the power cable immediately if

the printer starts operating abnormally. In the event of a printer malfunction, remove the power cable from the

outlet as soon as possible to prevent fire and electrical shocks.

•

Do not install the printer near sources of strong electromagnetic fields, whether equipment that generates such

fields or places where such fields occur. This could damage the printer or cause malfunction.

Power Supply

Warning

•

Never handle the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may cause electrical shock.

•

Insert the power cable securely and completely into the power source. If the power cable is not inserted com-

pletely, this could cause a fire or electrical shock.

•

Do not use any power cable other than the one provided. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. Never use

the power cable with any other electrical device.

•

Never cut the power cable or attempt to modify it, and never stretch it or bend it forcefully. Never place a heavy

object on the power cable. Damaged sections of the power cable could cause a short circuit and may cause a fire

or electrical shock.

•

Never connect the power cable to a power strip or any power source shared by other electrical devices. This

could cause a fire or electrical shock.

•

Never knot the power cable or wrap it around itself. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

•

Periodically disconnect the power cable and use a dry cloth to wipe away dust that has collected on the plug and

the area around the power outlet. Leaving the power cable plugged in and not cleaned for a long period, especial-

ly in an area subject to dust, oil, and humidity, could cause the insulation material to deteriorate and lead to a fire.

Safety Precautions

iPF840 Series

Basic Guide

Preface Safety Precautions

Caution

•

Always grip the plug to remove the power cable from the power outlet. Pulling on the power cable could damage

the cable and lead to a fire or electrical shock.

•

Never use an extension cord. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

•

Never use any power source other than 100–120 / 220–240 V AC. This could cause a fire or electrical shock. The

printer operating conditions are described below. Use the printer under the following conditions.

Power supply voltage: 100–120 / 220–240 V AC

Power supply frequency: 50/60 Hz

In an Emergency

Warning

•

If the printer emits smoke or strange odors, continuing to use the printer may cause a fire or electrical shock.

Switch the printer off immediately and remove the power plug from the power outlet. Contact your Canon dealer

or support center.

Cleaning the Printer

Warning

•

For cleaning, use a cloth dampened in water. Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner.

If these substances come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electri-

cal shock.

Caution

•

Always disconnect the power cable from the outlet before cleaning the printer. If the printer is switched on acci-

dentally, moving parts inside the printer may cause personal injuries.

Pacemakers

Warning

•

This printer generates a low-level magnetic field. Anyone wearing a pacemaker who experiences discomfort while

working around the printer should leave the area. Consult a physician before continuing to work around the print-

er.

Moving the Printer

Caution

•

Moving the printer requires at least six people, holding it on both sides. Be careful to avoid back strain and other

injuries.

•

When moving the printer, firmly grasp the Carrying Handles under each side. The printer may be unsteady if you

hold it at other positions, which poses a risk of injury from dropping the printer.

Printhead, Ink Tanks, and Maintenance Cartridge

Caution

•

Always store consumables in a safe location out of the reach of small children. If a child licks or ingests ink acci-

dentally, seek medical assistance immediately.

•

If ink accidentally gets in your eyes, immediately rinse with water.

If ink gets on your skin, immediately clean it off with soap and water.

If irritation persists in your eyes or on your skin, contact a physician immediately.

•

Avoid dropping or shaking printheads, ink tanks, and maintenance cartridges. Spilled ink can stain clothing and

the work area.

•

Never touch the electrical contacts of the Printhead after printing. The contacts become extremely hot and can

cause minor burns.

Safety Precautions

Basic Guide

Preface Safety Precautions

Other

Warning

•

Never disassemble the printer or attempt repairs. There are high voltage parts inside the printer that can cause a

fire or electrical shock.

•

Never use flammable sprays around the printer. The gas of flammable sprays can cause a fire or electrical shock,

if it contacts high voltage points inside the printer.

•

Never touch the cutting edge of Cutter Unit (a). This could cause personal injury.

Caution

•

Never insert your hand into the printer while it is printing. Moving parts inside the printer can cause injuries.

•

Never place anything on the printer such as small metal objects (paper clips, staples), liquids, any type of liquid

container that contains flammable liquids (alcohol, benzene, etc.). If such objects fall into the printer, this could

cause a fire or electrical shock.

•

To prevent a fire hazard or dangerous electric shock, if a foreign object falls into or a liquid spills into the printer,

press the Power button immediately to switch the printer off, unplug the printer power cable from the outlet, and

then contact your Canon dealer or support center. If you continue to use the printer, this could cause a fire or

electrical shock.

Important

•

Connect the interface cable correctly. To avoid damage, before connection make sure that the shape of the cable

connector matches the connection point on the printer.

•

During printing, turn on the ventilation system in the room.

•

We recommend ensuring ample space for installation.
