* As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may
result in a fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated for voltages of AC 230 V and over and untie the cord binding and insert the power plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the power and extension cord.
CAUTION
* Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as
this may result in a fire or electrical shock.
* Always grasp the plug when unplugging the power plug. Pulling on the power
cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If the cord is damaged, this could cause a current to leak, resulting in a fire or electrical shock. * Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.

power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock. * Unplug the power plug from the outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of the plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure all dust and grime is removed. If the printer is plugged in for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire. * There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high voltages. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
xvi
* Do not throw used toner cartridges into open flames. The remaining toner inside
the cartridges will ignite and may cause burns or a fire.
CAUTION
* Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this
manual. There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment could result in personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered under your Limited Warranty. * The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer may become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.

* When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to
allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains. * When removing paper which has become jammed inside the printer, remove the jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and entering your eyes or mouth. If toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician. * When loading paper or removing jammed paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper. * When removing used toner cartridges from the toner cartridge slot, remove the cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and entering your eyes or mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.

Paper Requirements
Storing Paper
Handling and storing paper properly ensures high print quality, and prevents potential paper jams. Using paper that is crumpled or exposed to moisture or direct sunlight during improper storage or handling can contribute to poor print quality and paper jams. Follow these guidelines when you store and handle paper:
IMPORTANT * Choose an appropriate location for storage. For best performance, keep the ambient storage and work area temperature to 20C (3%) or 68F (5%). Keep the relative humidity at 45% (5%). * Guard against moisture. Paper quality degrades in a moist environment. Store all unused paper in its wrapper. Never store paper on the floor where water and moisture can collect. In areas of high humidity, you may need to store paper in a specially designed storage box. * Avoid direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight can dramatically degrade paper quality. Store paper away from sunlight, and keep unused paper in its wrapper. * Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity. If paper is moved between locations that differ widely in temperature or humidity, it may curl. If this situation cannot be avoided, store the paper in the work area by the printer for at least one day to give the paper time to adjust to the new conditions. * Avoid physical damage to stored paper. Store paper on a flat surface to avoid creasing or curling. Never store paper on its end or lean it against something.

NOTE After you have loaded the envelopes into the multi-purpose tray, please check the following items to avoid paper jams or misfeeds before printing. - Is the stack of envelopes bending? The stack may bend if the paper guides are too tight. - Are the envelopes evenly stacked? If the paper guides are loose, the envelopes may not stack evenly or feed properly. - Is the stack straight? Do not place the stack of envelopes at an angle. - Are the flaps of each of the envelopes separate? If the flaps of the envelopes overlap, paper jams or misfeeds will occur. The illustrations below show the acceptable and unacceptable arrangement of the flaps for the envelopes in the stack. Acceptable The flap of each envelope should be separate, not overlapping the edges of any of the other envelopes in the stack.

Unacceptable If the flap of any of the envelopes overlap the edges of any of the other envelopes in the stack, like those in the example below, paper jams or misfeeds will occur.

Printing from the Manual Feed Slot
The manual feed slot allows you to load paper manually, one sheet at a time. You can load transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, or other special paper. You can also load plain paper, which is useful when you want to use paper that is a different size from the paper in the multi purpose tray. Before loading paper manually, always select the paper delivery first. (See "Paper Delivery," on p. 2-8.)

Align the sheet of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer and the top of the paper is inserted first. Slide the sheet of paper into the manual feeding slot until it stops.

IMPORTANT Be sure to match the paper guides to the paper width. Misfeeds or paper jams may occur if the paper guides are too loose or too tight. NOTE * The manual feed has priority over the multi-purpose tray. * Often applications will let you change the feeding direction of envelopes. Confirm the feeding direction of envelopes before printing. * If a postcard is not fed smoothly into the printer, gently push the top of the postcard downwards until the roller inside the printer takes the card and feeds it into the printer. * When printing on postcards, the printing quality for non-characters (e. g. grayscale illustrations) may deteriorate.

Using the Printer on Your Network
You can use the LBP-1120 as a network printer, which enables printing from the computers over a network. The computer that is directly connected to the printer is called "print server", and the computers that can use the printer over the network are called "clients". The print server and clients do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a Windows 2000/XP printer server, or vice versa.
IMPORTANT Using the LBP-1120 on your network requires that both the print server and the client devices are using Windows 98 or later. NOTE * Even if the server was not running when the client was started, you can start printing simply by starting the server. * If the server is running on Windows 2000/XP, you can print even if no one is logged into the server. However there is no status display on the server when no one is logged in. The display is shown on the client.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
Toner cartridges are consumable products. When a cartridge is almost out of toner, printed text becomes faded or streaked with white. When you find such a print quality problem, try the following procedure. Then replace the toner cartridge with a new one. When you replace the toner cartridges, be sure to use the right one for this printer: a Canon EP-22 cartridge. WARNING
4 www..com
Maintenance
The fixing assembly inside the printer gets extremely hot. Be careful not to touch any of the parts inside the cover except those specified in this manual. Doing so may result in personal injury, or burns.
IMPORTANT Never touch the high-voltage contact points inside the front cover. This could damage the printer. NOTE * The EP-22 cartridge typically lasts for about 2,500 prints of Letter or A4-size paper. This assumes that the printer is used for standard word processing documents printed at the default density, and at 4% dot ratio (equivalent to print coverage of approximately 5%). * The life of your cartridge may vary depending on how it is used. If your average document contains a lot of graphics, shading or bold printing, or when you print on A5-size paper or smaller, then the life of the toner cartridge is shorter.
