If you print on damp paper
The following problems may occur.
• Steam is emitted from the printer output
area.
• Water droplets form on the back side of
the operation panel and in the output
area.
Because moisture in the paper is evaporating
due to the heat generated when toner fixes,
this is not a malfunction. (This is likely to
occur when the room temperature is low.)
If you smell a burnt odor, however,
immediately turn OFF the machine, unplug
the power plug from the AC power outlet,
and then contact your local authorized
Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
Continued use can result in a fire or electrical
shock.
