PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CANON FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT

AA.. LLooccaattiioonn

Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See Appendix A for the units dimensions and weight.

BB.. OOrrddeerr IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn

1. Only a single line, touch-tone or rotary telephone set is to be used.

2. Order an RJ11-C modular jack (USOC code), which should be installed by the phone company. If the RJ11-C jack is not present, installation cannot occur.

3. Order a normal business line from your telephone companys business representative. The line should be a regular voice grade line or equivalent. Use one line per unit.

DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE or IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE OVERSEAS

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards [e.g., the

2500 (touch-tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones]. A dedicated extension off a PBX unit without Call Waiting can be used with your MultiPASS C3000. Key telephone systems are not recommended because they send non-standard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.

C. Power Requirements

This equipment should be connected to a standard 120 volt AC, three-wire grounded outlet only. Do not connect this unit to an outlet or power line shared with other appliances that cause electrical noise. Air conditioners, electric typewriters, copiers, and machines of this sort generate noise which often interferes with communications equipment and the sending and receiving of documents.

CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be given to the telephone company. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the

iiiiii

telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

IN CASE OF EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION

Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this Users Manual, disconnect the equipment from the telephone

line or unplug the power cord. The telephone line should not be reconnected or the power cord plugged in until the problem is completely resolved. Users should contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities for servicing of equipment. Information regarding Authorized Service Facility locations can be obtained by calling the Canon Computer Systems Customer Care Center. (See page 1-2 for details.)

RIGHTS OF THE TELEPHONE COMPANY

Should the equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service. The telephone company also retains the right to make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, the telephone company is required to give adequate prior notice to the user.

WARNING

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the equipment.

NNoottee::

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed, and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

● Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CANON FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT

AA.. LLooccaattiioonn

Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See Appendix A for the units dimensions and weight.

BB.. OOrrddeerr IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn

1. Provide only a single-line to touch-tone or rotary telephone set terminated with a standard 4-pin modular phone plug. (Touch-tone is recommended if available in your area.)

2. Order an RJ11-C modular jack (USOC code), which should be installed by the phone company. If the RJ11-C jack is not present, installation cannot occur.

3. Order a normal business line from your telephone companys business representative. The line should be a regular voice grade line or equivalent. Use one line per unit.

DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE or IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE OVERSEAS

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards [e.g., the 2500 (touch-tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones]. A dedicated extension off a PBX unit without Camp On signals is also permissible with your MultiPASS C3000. Key telephone systems are not recommended because they send non-standard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.

CC.. PPoowweerr RReeqquuiirreemmeennttss

The power outlet should be a three-prong grounded receptacle (Single or Duplex). It should be independent from copiers, heaters, air conditioners, or any electric equipment that is thermostatically controlled. The rated value is 120 volts and 15 amperes. The RJ11-C modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.

NOTICE

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification

means that the equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

❍ Remove all staples, paper clips, and the like before feeding the

document.

❍ Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is

completely dry before feeding the document.

❍ Make a photocopy of any document that will not feed into the

MultiPASS C3000. You can then feed the copy.

❍ Do not feed documents with pages that are different sizes or of

different thicknesses.

Loading the Document

You can load up to 20 letter or A4 size sheets and up to 10 legal size sheets at a time into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).

Stack your

documents.

❍ For a multiple page document, fan the sheets and tap the

document on a flat surface to even the stack.

A4 LTR

Feed the

document.

❍ Insert the document face-down (letterhead first) into the

ADF until you hear a beep.

❍ Adjust the document guides to the width of the

document.

The MultiPASS C3000 automatically feeds the pages one by one from the bottom.

If you have problems feeding multiple page documents, insert the pages one at a time into the ADF. This stacks the pages on a slant so they feed correctly into the ADF. (Do not attempt to stack more than 20 sheets in the ADF.)

Paper Handling

One of the most important things you can do to assure the best possible printing performance of your MultiPASS C3000 is to select the correct paper. Your MultiPASS C3000 produces letter quality print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not require special ink jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.

Selecting Paper Types

Plain Paper

The MultiPASS C3000 supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation. You can use regular copier paper, cotton bond papers, and typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges.

Glossy Photo Paper

Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-201 is a high gloss, thicker paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this paper with the BC-22 Photo BJ Cartridge to produce photo-realistic prints from your printer. (Select Glossy Paper in the printer driver when you have this paper loaded.)

High Resolution Paper

The Canon High Resolution Paper HR-101 is designed to produce photo-realistic quality output with sharp and vivid graphics. For best results, use the optional BC-22 Photo BJ Cartridge to produce images comparable to your favorite photographs.

T-Shirt Transfers

Use Canons popular T-Shirt Transfers TR-101 to create and personalize T-shirts, sweatshirts, aprons, tablecloths, napkins, tote bags, and anything else your imagination allows! Use on any cotton or cotton/poly blend fabric. Your image is printed in mirror image (when you use T-Shirt Transfer mode through the MultiPASS printer driver for Windows) so when you iron it onto the T-shirt, the image is viewed correctly.

Greeting Cards

Get the most out of your Canon Creative or other card making software with Canon Greeting Cards GC-101. These cards give your unique, personalized cards the look and feel of professional cards. You can

2-2 Printing With the MultiPASS C3000 Chapter 2

create cards, invitations, announcements, and more.

Bubble Jet Paper (water resistant)

The Canon Bubble Jet Paper LC-301 has been developed for high quality printing with minimal or no smearing or running when in contact with water or damp surfaces, making it a good choice for damp or rainy environments. The paper is specially coated and printable on both sides. (Select Plain Paper in the printer driver when you have this paper loaded.)

Fabric Sheets

Use Fabric Sheet FS-101 for Canon Bubble Jet products to print banners, pillow covers, scarves, flags, and other textile items. Use these sheets for appliqués and other craft and sewing projects. Fabric sheets

are 9.5 × 14 inches.

Back Print Film

Canon Back Print Film BF-102 has been specially developed for Canon Color Bubble Jet printers and MultiPASS products. The film is designed to deliver brilliant, high-intensity color images suitable for business presentations, design work, or professional reports. Back print film is printed on the back (nonglossy) side of the film in mirror image and then viewed from the front or glossy side using a backlighting device. For more details, ask a Canon Authorized Dealer for information or refer to the manual supplied with the film.

High Gloss Film

The Canon High Gloss Film HG-101 features a bright white finish that lends striking visual power to charts, graphs, and photographic images. Use this film to make your presentation materials and graphics look professional.

Printing

Transparencies

CF-102 Transparencies from Canon are recommended. These transparencies produce excellent contrast, sharpness, and color.

Assorted Paper Starter Kit

If you would like to try some of the papers described above, look for Canons Starter Kit (SK-101). It contains an assortment of five paper types.

If you are printing in an application outside Windows, your software

Chapter 2 Printing With the MultiPASS C3000 2-3

application or printer driver must support mirror image printing in order to use Back Print Film or T-Shirt Transfers.

Paper Guidelines

When selecting or loading paper, please remember the following:

❍ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can

cause paper jams and poor print quality.

❍ Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper. ❍ When using graph paper, the lines may not match because the

1/6-inch line spacing of the printer is slightly less than that of graph paper.

❍ If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may

curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print dense graphics, try printing on heavier stock.

❍ Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this

printer. Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the BJ cartridge.

Installing a Printer Driver

Before you can use any type of printer with your computer, you must install a printer driver. The printer driver tells the computer what kind of a printer you are using. The printer driver also controls the various settings, such as print quality and paper type. You define these settings within the printer driver, and the printer driver then communicates the settings to both the computer and the printer.

You must install the MultiPASS Printer Driver for Windows and the MultiPASS Desktop Manager before you can use the MultiPASS C3000 as a printer for your computer. See your Setup Guide for details on how to install this software.
