1-2 Introducing the MultiPASS C70 Chapter 1

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the new Canon MultiPASS C70. We are sure that your MultiPASS C70 will help you work more effectively and help you meet your fax and telephone requirements easily and conveniently, as well as your printing, copying, and scanning needs.

Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS C70 1-3

Introducing the

MultiPASS C70

Main Features of the MultiPASS C70

The MultiPASS C70 is a complete multifunction system for your home or small office. The MultiPASS C70 combines the following essential office machines into a single, convenient desktop unit:

❏ Plain Paper Fax Machine ❏ Colour Fax Machine ❏ PC Colour Fax* ❏ Colour Copier ❏ Telephone** ❏ Colour Printer ❏ Colour Scanner

Your MultiPASS C70 also includes the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows®software, version 3.10. This exclusive Canon software package provides you with a “PC Fax” — you can print, fax, scan, and use the telephone from within your PC’s Windows®environment.

The MultiPASS C70’s multitasking ability enables you to perform a number of operations simultaneously. For example, you can print, scan a document, or make copies at the same time you are sending a fax or receiving a fax into memory.

The compact size of the MultiPASS C70 makes it ideal for desktop use, and lets you use it in places where other machines might not fit.

* PC black & white fax transmission/reception. PC colour fax reception only.

** Requires the handset, a telephone, or an answering machine.

1-4 Introducing the MultiPASS C70 Chapter 1

Colour and Plain Paper Fax Features

UHQ™Image Processing System

The MultiPASS C70 uses Canon’s Ultra High Quality (UHQ™) Image Processing System to provide enhanced definition in faxed photos.

Error Correction Mode (ECM)

Using the MultiPASS C70’s Error Correction Mode (ECM) reduces transmission errors when sending faxes to or receiving faxes from other fax machines that also have ECM capability.

Automatic switching between fax and voice calls

The MultiPASS C70 can automatically distinguish between fax calls and normal telephone calls, so that you can receive both through a single telephone line.

Colour faxing to and from fax machines that support colour faxing

You can send or receive colour faxes from fax machines that have colour faxing capability.

Answering machine connection

By connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS C70, not only can you receive messages on your answering machine, but you can also receive faxes automatically.

Transmission speed

The MultiPASS C70 uses G3 data encoding methods that increase transmission speed to approximately six seconds* per page for black & white transmissions.

Memory sending/receiving

The MultiPASS C70 can store up to 42 fax pages* (either received or to be sent) in its built-in memory, and can receive faxes while printing or when your PC is turned off.

* Based on Canon FAX Standard Chart No. 1, standard mode.

Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS C70 1-5

Introducing the

MultiPASS C70

Reduced-size printing

When receiving faxes, the MultiPASS C70 automatically scales them to fit the size of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray. So if your client is sending you a fax on paper larger than an A4-size page and you have A4-size paper in the multi-purpose tray, the fax will be scaled down and printed on A4-size paper.

Automatic dialling and broadcasting

To make faxing even easier, the MultiPASS C70 provides several automatic dialling methods: coded speed dialling, one-touch speed dialling, and group dialling. The MultiPASS C70 also enables you to broadcast faxes or send delayed faxes to as many as 113 destinations.

User restriction

The MultiPASS C70 can be “locked” to prevent unauthorised use of your unit to send faxes.

1-6 Introducing the MultiPASS C70 Chapter 1

PC Colour Fax Features

PC black & white and colour faxing

In addition to sending and receiving black & white faxes directly from and to your PC, you can also receive colour faxes directly to your PC.

Fax/Telephone address book

You can create an unlimited list of people to call and/or to whom you can send PC faxes.

Manipulate or annotate a document

With the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, not only can you view a PC fax on your PC, but you can also manipulate or annotate it. For example, you can remove a page, split or merge it with other documents, rotate or flip it, and perform many other operations.

Custom cover sheets

You can use one of the predefined fax cover pages or create your own to attach to each PC fax you send.

Transmission speed

Approximately six seconds* per page with Error Correction Mode (ECM) for black & white transmissions.

Point-and-click dialling

The MultiPASS Desktop Manager enables you to select a fax number and dial directly from your PC’s screen with a simple click of the mouse.

* Based on Canon FAX Standard Chart No. 1, standard mode.

Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS C70 1-7

Introducing the

MultiPASS C70

Colour Copier Features

Colour and black & white copying

The MultiPASS C70 can make full colour copies. It can also make up to 99 black & white (including halftones) copies of a document at a time, at a rate of up to three copies per minute.

360-dpi resolution

The MultiPASS C70 copies documents using a high resolution of 360 dpi (when making single copies).

Copy reduction

The MultiPASS C70 can reduce copies to 90%, 80%, or 70% of their original size. This allows you to copy legal-size documents onto A4-size paper, for example.

Telephone Features

Connection for the handset, a telephone, and other devices

Connecting the handset or a telephone to the MultiPASS C70 lets you use it to make and receive normal telephone calls. In addition, you can connect an extension phone, an answering machine, or a data modem to the MultiPASS C70.

Automatic dialling

The MultiPASS C70’s three automatic dialling methods (one-touch speed dialling, coded speed dialling, and group dialling) can also be used to store telephone numbers, for easy and efficient calling.

Point-and-click dialling

The MultiPASS Desktop Manager enables you to select a telephone number and dial directly from your PC’s screen with a simple click of the mouse.

User restriction

The MultiPASS C70 can be “locked” to prevent unauthorised use of your unit to make telephone calls.

1-8 Introducing the MultiPASS C70 Chapter 1

Colour Printer Features

Canon Bubble Jet (BJ) printing and ink cartridges

The MultiPASS C70 uses Canon’s Bubble Jet (BJ) printing and ink cartridges to provide you with first-rate, crisp print and vibrant colours, along with convenient and easy maintenance.

Excellent print quality and speed

The MultiPASS C70’s high-performance print head offers a precision of up to 720 dots per inch (dpi) horizontally by 360 vertically, providing you with high-resolution colour, text, and graphics, all at exceptional speed — up to two pages per minute for colour printing.

Impressive output on a variety of media

The MultiPASS C70 can provide sharp black or vibrant colour printing on a wide variety of media, including A4, letter, and legal plain paper, glossy paper, envelopes, transparencies, back print film (for display on a backlit panel), banner paper, and fabric sheets.

Convenient paper handling

The unit’s multi-purpose tray holds up to 100 sheets* of A4, letter, and legal paper; 50 transparencies; 10 sheets of back print film; or 10 envelopes.

Economy ink-saving printing

The MultiPASS C70 includes an economy printing mode for black & white printing that uses up to 50% less ink, resulting in longer cartridge life.

Photo quality printing

Canon’s optional BC-22e Photo BJ cartridge enables the MultiPASS C70 to print excellent photo quality images.

Introducing the

Colour Scanner Features

Full colour and 256-level greyscale

The MultiPASS Desktop Manager allows you to scan images in full colour or with 256 levels of grey, rather than just in black & white, ensuring that the images are reproduced as clearly as possible.

Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)

The MultiPASS C70 includes an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that makes it easy to scan up to 20 pages (A4 or letter size) at a time when using Windows®applications that support the TWAIN scanning standard and multipage scans.

Adjustable resolution

The MultiPASS Desktop Manager allows you to adjust the resolution for documents you are scanning into your PC.

TWAIN compatible

The MultiPASS C70 supports the TWAIN scanning standard, which allows you to scan images using any graphics or optical character recognition (OCR) application that also supports the TWAIN standard.

Introducing the

MultiPASS C70

Supplies

Your MultiPASS C70 uses Canon’s Bubble Jet (BJ) cartridges, BJ tanks, and special print media. All are designed to work with your MultiPASS C70 to help you produce the finest output possible. These supplies are available from your local authorised Canon dealer.

BJ Cartridges and BJ Tanks

The MultiPASS C70 uses Canon’s BJ (Bubble Jet) cartridges to provide you with first-rate, crisp print and vibrant colours.

Canon’s BJ cartridges use advanced ink formulas that dry quickly, look great on plain paper, are not easily affected by light, and resist smudging. In addition, the print heads in the BJ cartridges cap themselves automatically when not in use, thus saving ink by keeping the print heads from drying out.

BJ cartridges are also easy to maintain. If your BC-21e Colour BJ cartridge runs out of ink, simply replace the empty BJ tank (black or colour). If the BX-20 Black BJ cartridge or the optional BC-22e Photo BJ cartridge runs out of ink, simply replace the entire cartridge.*

❏ For optimum printing results and to avoid printing problems, Canon

recommends that you use the Canon BC-21e Colour BJ cartridge, the Canon BX-20 Black BJ cartridge, or the optional Canon BC-22e Photo BJ cartridge with your MultiPASS C70.*

❏ When replacing BJ tanks in the BC-21e Colour BJ cartridge, Canon

recommends that you use the Canon BCI-21 Colour and the Canon BCI-21 Black BJ tanks.

* The BJ cartridges included with your MultiPASS C70 may vary depending on

the country of purchase.

Special Print Media

You can use plain paper with the MultiPASS C70 for excellent colour and black & white printing, but Canon has also developed a wide range of print media to extend your printing capabilities. Chapter 5, Paper Handling, gives details on this print media as well as special instructions for loading some of this media into your MultiPASS C70.

If you plan to use a print medium other than those made by Canon, be sure to test it in your MultiPASS C70 before ordering it in bulk. If you have any questions about whether a particular medium is suitable for your MultiPASS C70, please contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
