■ Before you call for service...
The Contact List, a list of Canon Help Desks with telephone numbers
and addresses worldwide, is provided with the printer. Before you call
for service, however, we recommend that you gather some information
that will help Help Desk advisors find a solution for your problem.
Before calling for service, check the printer status, the computer and its
connection environment and identify the problem for faster assistance.
Work through the Troubleshooting descriptions of problems and
solutions to attempt to solve the problem. If you do not have time to do
this, at least follow the steps below and prepare answers for some basic
questions you may be asked by the Help Desk advisor.
