document cover.
Press and hold the lever at the top of the protective
sheet while you c pull the sheet outward and d
detach it.
• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken.
• Always put the protective sheet back when you are not scanning film to protect the light
source in the document cover.
2 Insert the film into the Film Guide.
• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality, and
take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
• Do not block the calibration slot on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not be
scanned correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.
• Close the Film Guide securely. Press lightly until it clicks into place.

Indicates a caution concerning operations that may lead to injury to persons or damage to
property if not performed correctly. In order to use the scanner safely, always pay attention to these cau-
tions.
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.
• Do not place the following objects on the scanner; metallic objects such as necklaces, liquid
containers such as cups, vases and flowerpots. If the internal electrical parts come in contact with
these objects, fire or electrical shock may result.
If any of these objects or liquids enters the scanner, immediately unplug the AC adapter and the power
cord. Then contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
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.
About the Power Supply
WARNING
• Do not damage, mutilate or modify the AC adapter and the power cord. Do not place heavy objects
on, pull or excessively bend, twist or tie the cord of the AC adapter and the power cord. Damaged
wires may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Do not plug in/unplug the AC adapter and 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 AC adapter and the power cord in all the way. If it is not plugged in completely, fire or
electrical shock may result.
• Do not use AC adapters and power cords other than the one supplied. Fire or electrical shock may
result.
• As a rule, do not use electrical extension cords. Fire or electrical shock may result. If the use of an
extension cord is necessary, do not use one longer than 15 feet (5 m). Make sure that the extension
cord is not twisted, and that the AC adapter and the power cord are fully plugged into the extension
cord. Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Do not use extension cords in corridors or other high traffic areas where they can be stepped on or
tripped over. This could damage the cords and result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use the AC adapter and the power cord outdoors or in exposed areas. Fire or electrical shock
may result.
12
Safety Precautions
CAUTION
• Do not plug the AC adapter and the power cord into outlets with voltages other than the specified
voltages. Incorrect voltages may result in fire or electrical shock.
• When unplugging the AC adapter and the power cord, always pull on the main body. Pulling on the
cord may damage the wires and lead to fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place objects around the AC adapter and the power cord in case it needs to be unplugged
during emergencies.
• Unplug the AC adapter and the power cord from the outlet at least once a year and clean the area
around the base of the AC adapter’s metal pins to ensure that all dust is removed. If dust
accumulates in this area, it may result in fire.
General Handling Precautions
WARNING
• Do not take apart or modify the scanner. 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 AC adapter and the power cord. Then 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 spill water, liquids, or flammable liquids
on the scanner. If these fluids enter and contact the inner electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may
result.
• When cleaning the scanner, always unplug the AC adapter and the power cord. Damp a cloth with
water and wring the cloth well. Do not use flammable liquids such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If
a flammable liquid enters the inner electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may result.
If anything enters the scanner, immediately unplug the AC adapter and the power cord. Then contact
your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
CAUTION
• 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 AC adapter and the power cord for safety.
• When transporting the scanner, be extremely careful. Dropping it could cause injury.
• Wait until the scanner has cooled before placing a cover over it. Otherwise fire may result.
• 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.
