Canon imageCLASS MF445dw, Getting Started

• 

Keep the machine as far as possible from 

digital cordless phones, microwave ovens, or 

other equipment that emits radio waves.

• 

Do not use near medical equipment. Radio 

waves emitted from this machine may 

interfere with medical equipment, which may 

result in malfunctions and accidents.

If the operating noise concerns you

Depending on the use environment and 

operating mode, if the operating noise is of 

concern, it is recommended that the machine be 

installed in a place other than the office.

Power Supply

WARNING

• 

Use only a power supply that meets the 

specified voltage requirements. Failure to do 

so may result in a fire or electrical shock.

• 

The machine must be connected to a 

socket-outlet with grounding connection by 

the provided power cord.

• 

Do not use power cords other than the one 

provided, as this may result in a fire or electrical 

shock.

• 

The provided power cord is intended for use 

with this machine. Do not connect the power 

cord to other devices.

• 

Do not modify, pull, forcibly bend, or perform 

any other act that may damage the power 

cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power 

cord. Damaging the power cord may result in 

a fire or electrical shock.

• 

Do not plug in or unplug the power plug with 

wet hands, as this may result in an electrical 

shock.

• 

Do not use extension cords or multi-plug 

power strips with the machine. Doing so may 

result in a fire or electrical shock.

• 

Do not wrap the power cord or tie it in a knot, 

as this may result in a fire or electrical shock.

• 

Insert the power plug completely into the AC 

power outlet. Failure to do so may result in a 

fire or electrical shock.

• 

Remove the power plug completely from the 

AC power outlet during a thunder storm. 

Failure to do so may result in a fire, electrical 

shock, or damage to the machine.

• 

Make sure that the power supply for the 

machine is safe, and has a steady voltage.

• 

Keep the power cord away from a heat source; 

failure to do this may cause the power cord 

coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical 

shock.

Avoid the following situations:

If excessive stress is applied to the connection 

part of the power cord, it may damage the 

power cord or the wires inside the machine may 

disconnect. This could result in a fire.

– Connecting and disconnecting the power cord 

frequently.

– Tripping over the power cord.

– The power cord is bent near the connection 

part, and continuous stress is being applied to 
the power outlet or the connection part.

– Applying excessive force on the power plug.

CAUTION

• 

Install this machine near the power outlet and 

leave sufficient space around the power plug 

so that it can be unplugged easily in an 

emergency.

IMPORTANT

When connecting power

• 

Do not connect the power cord to an 

uninterruptible power source. Doing so may 

result in malfunction of or damage to the 

machine at power failure.

CAUTION

Do not install in the following locations

The machine may drop or fall, resulting in injury.

• 

An unstable location

• 

A location exposed to vibrations

Other cautions

• 

When carrying this machine, follow the 

instructions in this manual. If carried 

improperly, it may fall, resulting in injury.

• 

When installing this machine, be careful not to 

get your hands caught between the machine 

and the floor or walls. Doing so may result in 

injury.

IMPORTANT

Do not install in the following locations

Doing so may result in damage to the machine.

• 

A location subject to temperature and 

humidity extremes, whether low or high

• 

A location subject to dramatic changes in 

temperature or humidity

• 

A location near equipment that generates 

magnetic or electromagnetic waves

• 

A laboratory or location where chemical 

reactions occur

• 

A location exposed to corrosive or toxic gases

• 

A location that may warp from the weight of 

the machine or where the machine is liable to 

sink (a carpet, etc.)

Avoid poorly ventilated locations

This machine generates a slight amount of ozone 

and other emissions during normal use. These 

emissions are not harmful to health. However, 

they may be noticeable during extended use or 

long production runs in poorly ventilated rooms. 

To maintain a comfortable working environment, 

it is recommended that the room where the 

machine operates be appropriately ventilated. 

Also avoid locations where people would be 

exposed to emissions from the machine. 

Do not install in a location where 

condensation occurs

Water droplets (condensation) may form inside 

the machine when the room where the machine 

is installed is heated rapidly, and when the 

machine is moved from a cool or dry location to 

a hot or humid location. Using the machine 

under these conditions may result in paper jams, 

poor print quality, or damage to the machine. 

Let the machine adjust to the ambient 

temperature and humidity for at least 2 hours 

before use.

In altitudes of above sea level 3,000 m or 

higher

Machines with a hard disk may not operate 

properly when used at high altitudes of about 

3,000 meters above sea level, or higher.

Connecting the Telephone Line

This machine conforms to a analog telephone 

line standard. The machine can be connected to 

the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 

only. If you connect the machine to a digital 

telephone line or a dedicated telephone line, it 

might impede proper operation of the machine 

and could be the cause of damage. Make sure to 

confirm a type of telephone line before 

connecting the machine. Contact your optical 

fiber line or IP telephone line service providers if 

you want to connect the machine to those 

telephone lines.

When using wireless LAN

• 

Install the machine at a distance of 50 meters 

or less from the wireless LAN router.

• 

As far as possible, install in a location where 

communication is not blocked by intervening 

objects. The signal may be degraded when 

passing through walls or floors.
