Caution
If you print on damp paper
The following problems may occur.
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.
