*1 Document print speeds are the averages of ESAT in Office Category Test for the default simplex mode, ISO / IEC 24734.
Document print speeds are the averages of FPOT in Office Category Test for the default simplex mode, ISO / IEC17629:2014
Print speed may vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document complexity, print mode, page coverage, type of paper used etc.
During successive printing, the printer may slow down the operation to prevent the internal temperature from rising.
*2 PPM print speed is based on the highest speed settings using Canon standard patterns on A4 plain paper.
*3 TWAIN driver (ScanGear) is based on the TWAIN specification V1.9 and requires the Data Source Manager comes with the operating system.
*4 Optical resolution is a measure of maximum hardware sampling resolution, based on ISO 14473 standard.
*5  Increasing the scanning resolution will limit the maximum possible scanning area.
*6 ADF scan speeds are the average of scESAT30secA in "ADF Productivitiy Measurement" test, ISO / IEC 17991:2015.
Scan to network folder speeds with ADF are the average of scEFTP30secF in "Scan to Network Folder Productivity Measurement" test, ISO / IEC 17991:2015.
ADF scan speeds/Scan to network folder speeds with ADF will vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document complexity etc.
*7 Copy speeds are the average of sFCOT and sESAT,  ISO / IEC  29183.
Copy speed may vary depending on document complexity, copy mode, page coverage, type of paper used etc. and does not take into account warming up time.
*8 Black & white document fax transmission speed is based on default setting using ITU-T No.1 chart.  
Color document fax transmission speed is based on default setting using Canon Color Fax Test Sheet.
Actual transmission speed may vary depending on document complexity, fax settings at receiving end, and line conditions etc.   
*9 Page count is based on ITU-T No.1 chart or Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1.
The number of pages able to be kept in memory will vary based on remaining memory capacity and document complexity
*10 Acoustic Noise is measured based on ISO7779 standard.
*11 Copy: When copying ISO / JIS-SCID N2 (printed by inkjet printer) on A4 size plain paper using default settings.
Print: When printing ISO / JIS-SCID N2 (printed by inkjet printer) on A4 size plain paper using default settings.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
*12 The performance of the printer may be reduced under certain temperature and humidity conditions.
*13 For the temperature and humidity conditions of papers such as photo paper, refer to the paper's packaging or the supplied instructions.
*14 When scanning or copying a certain volume of documents (approx. 150 sheets in default settings) continuously from the ADF,
the printer may switch to "waiting mode" in which paper feeding stops for several tens of seconds after each scan to prohibit overheating the ADF.
*15 If your USB flash drive cannot be inserted into the USB flash drive port of the machine, it may be required to use an extension cable for USB flash drive.
Proper operation may not be guaranteed in some USB flash drives that may have recognition problem.
You may not be able to use the USB flash drives that have security setting on. 

Disclaimer
   

Print speed becomes slower for the sake of preventing damage of a print head when ink draws to an end (after displaying the ink low message).

An installed ink tank cannot be removed until the message to replace it is displayed.
You need to install ink tanks or ink cartridges of all colours whether you perform black and white printing or colour printing. If any one of the ink tanks or ink cartridges is not installed, an error occurs and you cannot perform printing.
Depending on the paper or the print settings, colour ink may be consumed even when you print a document in black or perform printing in black and white. When any one of the colours of ink has run out, you need to replace the ink tank or ink cartridge.
The printing costs described in the brochures or websites are based on the consumption data from not the first ink tank / ink cartridge but the succeeding ink tank / ink cartridge.
To keep printer's performance, Canon printer performs cleaning automatically according to its condition. When the printer performs cleaning, a small amount of ink is consumed. In this case, all colours of ink may be consumed.
[Cleaning function]
The cleaning function helps the printer to suck air bubbles or ink itself from the nozzle and thus prevents print quality degradation or nozzle clogging.
The repairing parts for printers will be available five years after production is discontinued. Depending on your model, we may ask you to replace it with a new one, or one with almost the same performance as a maintenance service. In this case, it may be that you cannot use supplies or accessories for your model or the compatible OS will be changed.
The warranty term for details, contact a Canon-authorized sales representative in the country or region you live in. Free repair does not apply to supplies (paper, ink tanks/cartridges, and print head) even within the warranty term.
To obtain good printing quality, use up ink within six months after opening.
Regarding a solution to a problem caused by using non-genuine ink cartridges (including ones supplemented with non-genuine ink by making a hole in the cartridge or so), a fee will be charged even within the warranty term. Keep this in your mind when you use non-genuine ink.
If you use non-genuine ink cartridges (including ones supplemented with non-genuine ink by making a hole in the cartridge or so), they may have a negative effect on the performance of the printer or the printing quality may be reduced. In addition, though it is a rare case and does not present a safety hazard, it is reported that a print head will become heated or smoke will be emitted from it due to an ingredient not contained in genuine Canon ink. (Note that this does not apply to all non-genuine ink.)
The following functions are available only on printers that use genuine Canon ink for all colors and support these functions. For supported functions, see the product specifications section for each model.
  • Printing CREATIVE PARK PREMIUM content via My Image Garden, Easy-PhotoPrint+, or PIXMA Cloud Link
  • Using the following applications via PIXMA Cloud Link
    • Scan to E-mail
    • Attach to Webmail
    • Scan to Office document
    • Scan and Remote Print
    • Saving scanned images to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Evernote, OneNote
A printer with a fax function stores the following fax data in printer's memory:
- Faxes not printed out due to conditions such as ink running out.
- Faxes in the send queue.
If you disconnect the power cord, the date and time settings are reset and faxes stored in the printer's memory will be deleted. Before you disconnect the power cord, confirm that faxes you need to keep have already been printed or sent.
Depending on your terminal, such as a computer or a smartphone, or the operating system of your terminal, such as your computer or smartphone, the estimated ink level information or message displayed on the screen of your terminal may be different from the information or message displayed on the operation panel of the printer. Also, a part of the estimated ink level message displayed on the operation panel of the printer may not be displayed and/or may be displayed at a different point in time. Canon recommends that you use the information and message displayed on the operation panel of the printer as your reference. Note, however, that such information and message are displayed items and serve only as a guideline information.

When scanning or copying a certain volume of documents (approx. 150 sheets in default settings) continuously from the ADF, the printer may switch to “waiting mode“ in which paper feeding stops for several tens of seconds after each scan to prohibit overheating the ADF.
