Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment

A. Location

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

B. Order Information

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 telephone 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 the equivalent. Use one line per unit.

DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE

-orIDDD (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 C555. 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. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. 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 electrical 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 telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

iv Preface

An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular jack are provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.

In Case of Equipment Malfunction

Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this User’s Guide, 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.

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.

following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept an interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

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 or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Preface v

• 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.

Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.

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

Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment

A. Location

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

B. Order Information

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 telephone 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

-orIDDD (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]. Adedicated extension off a PBX without “Camp On” signals is also permissible with your MultiPASS C555. 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

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 networks 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.

Preface vii

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.

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

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian InterferenceCausing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

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. The REN of this product is 0.3.

guide. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions in this guide. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may require

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation. – If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. – If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for servicing.

■ Location

• Place the MultiPASS on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight (approx. 11.2 lb./5.1 kg).

• Place the MultiPASS in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place. – Make sure the area is free from dust. – Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature changes, and always

stays between 50° and 90.5°F (10° and 32.5°C).

– Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 85%.

• Keep the MultiPASS away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to place it near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.

• Do not use the MultiPASS near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come into contact with the unit.

• Do not use or store the MultiPASS outdoors.

• Do not install the MultiPASS near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields, such as speakers.

• If possible, place the MultiPASS near an existing telephone outlet to avoid the expense of installing a new one.

• Place the MultiPASS near a standard 120 V AC power outlet. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• Place the MultiPASS near the PC you will be connecting it to. Make sure you can reach it easily as you will be using it as a printer, fax machine, copier, and scanner.

• To ensure reliable operation of the MultiPASS and to protect it from overheating (which can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent and never block or cover any openings on the unit by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the unit in a closet or built-in installation, or near a radiator or other heat register unless proper ventilation is provided. Install the unit approximately 4 inches (10 cm) away from walls and other equipment.

• Do not stack boxes or furniture around the power outlet. Keep the area free so you can reach the outlet quickly. If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange odors, noises) around the MultiPASS, unplug the unit immediately. Contact the Customer Care Center.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not place the unit where the cord will be walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.

1-10 Introduction Chapter 1

■ Power Supply

• Plug the MultiPASS into a standard 120 V AC 60 Hz, three-prong grounded outlet. Only operate the MultiPASS from the type of power source indicated on the unit’s label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your local power company.

• Use only the power cord that came with the unit. Using a longer cord or extension cord can cause the unit to malfunction. If you must use an extension cord with the MultiPASS, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the current amperage of the circuit breaker.

• The MultiPASS is equipped with a three-prong, grounding-type plug provided with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the groundingtype plug by breaking off the third prong or using a 3-to-2 adapter.

• Do not plug the MultiPASS into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner, electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can interfere with your MultiPASS’ ability to send and receive faxes.

• During electrical storms, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. (Please note that any documents stored in the unit’s memory will be deleted when you unplug the unit.)

• Unplug the MultiPASS only by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.

• Whenever you unplug the MultiPASS, wait at least five seconds before you plug it in again.

• Check the plug frequently and make sure that it is firmly plugged into the socket.

This product emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from this product and consult your doctor.
