Approval Number 607721 (UK)

Your Canon FAX-B155 has been approved against the requirements of NTR3 for use in the UK and complies with the requirements of 91/263 EEC. The CE mark is applied in respect of the requirements of 73/23 EEC and 89/336 EEC. (UK)

It is intended for connection to analogue two wire public telecommunication networks.

Connect the supplied cable to this socket first, then to the telephone line.

There are two auxiliary sockets to which equipment approved for direct connection to the network may be connected. If required, a suitable adaptor, approved under Approval Number NS/G/23/L/100005 for direct and indirect connections

between the fax machine and any piece of approved telecommunications apparatus, is available from your Canon supplier. (UK)

This socket is intended for connection of an answering machine or similar device.

This socket is intended for connection of a telephone.

Voltage and current available at these sockets are determined by the network to which the line cable is connected. They will not normally exceed the limits for TNV as described in EN60950.

Canon recommends that any additional equipment connected in the installation is connected to one of these sockets. Do not connect additional equipment through parallel sockets elsewhere on the telephone line.

This equipment is not intended or recommended for making calls to emergency services.

For your safety (Australia only)

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring.

Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.

The power point shall be located near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

Caution (New Zealand only)

1.This equipment may not necessarily provide for the effective hand-over of a call to or from a telephone connected to the same line.

2.The operation of this equipment on the same line as telephone or other equipment with audible warning devices or automatic ring detectors will give rise to bell tinkle or noise and may cause false tripping of the ring detector. Should such problems occur, the user is not to contact telecom faults service.

3.Should this equipment become physically damaged, disconnect immediately from the Telecom connection and power source and contact your nearest service agent.

4.To relocate this equipment, please;

1)Disconnect the equipment from the Telecom connection.

2)Disconnect the equipment from the power source.

3)Reconnect the equipment to the power source.

4)Reconnect the equipment to the Telecom connection.

5.If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord (Parts No.:HH2-1910).

6.Not all standard telephones will respond to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket.

7.This device may be subject to ringing or bell tinkle when calls are made from another device on the same line. If this occurs, the problem should not be referred to the Telecom Faults service.

8.Please note when you connect an extension telephone to this device. If you use an extension telephone which has features such as ‘last number redial’, redial memory numbers may be lost.

Precautions

General _________________________________________

Make sure the place where you set up the fax satisfies the following conditions:

Over 32.5°C

Under 10°C

•Use the fax only within the following temperature and humidity ranges.

Ambient temperature: 10°C to 32.5°C

Ambient humidity:

10% to 80% RH (no condensation)

•Keep your fax out of direct sunlight, as this can damage the unit.

• Do not lift the fax by the operation panel.

•If you have installed the optional handset, do not lift the fax by the handset cradle.

• Hold the fax as shown when transporting.

Precautions

• Place the fax on a level surface.

•Do not remove the BJ cartridge from the unit unless it needs to be replaced, or when transporting the fax. Removing the cartridge and leaving the print head unprotected will cause it to dry out and become unusable.

•Do not place the fax on the edge of a desk so as to prevent received documents from falling onto the floor.

•Certain table surfaces may prevent received documents from sliding out smoothly, resulting in paper jams. Do not place the fax on these types of tables.

•Do not install the fax near devices which contain magnets or generate magnetic fields.

•Do not subject the fax to strong physical shock or vibration.

•Keep the fax clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the fax from operating properly.

•Before you transport your fax, be sure to remove the BJ cartridge and recover the print head with the orange tape. After moving the fax, remove the orange tape and reload the BJ cartridge.

Others __________________________________________

Here are some other general precautions when using or working around the fax.

CAUTION

•Avoid installing your fax in places exposed to direct sunlight, dust, vibration, high temperature or humidity, or on unstable surfaces.

•To assure proper electrical contact, make sure the fax is firmly plugged in.

•Never pull on the cord to unplug the fax. Pull on the plug itself.

WARNING

•For cardiac pacemaker users:

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

•Do not overload the electrical outlet where the fax is plugged in.

•Never plug or unplug the fax when your hands are wet.

•For your safety, unplug the fax during electrical storms.

•If you have problems with the fax (smoke, odd smells or noises), immediately unplug the fax from the outlet. Keep the area around the outlet free from clutter so you can unplug the fax quickly in case of an emergency.

•Never use liquids or drink beverages around the fax. Liquids spilled on the fax can cause a fire or electrical shock. If you accidentally spill a liquid on the fax, unplug it immediately and call your Canon service representative.

•To avoid electrical shock from exposed power points, never disassemble the fax. There are no parts or switches in the fax that require adjustment.

Quality Use plain bond, typewriter quality without curls, folds, or rough edges.

Weight

64 g/m2 – 90 g/m2

Thickness 0.08 mm – 0.13 mm

Storage 18°C to 24°C, 40% to 60% relative humidity

Size	A4, Letter, Legal

•Test the plain bond paper you intend to use first to make sure printing results are satisfactory.

•Do not use punched or coloured paper.

•Do not use glossy paper.

•Ink drying time will vary depending on the type of paper.

•Using paper other than the above may cause jamming and/or blurred printing.

■Setting the paper size

The paper size setting determines the size of the recording paper in the paper tray. The factory setting is A4 size. If you want to use a paper size other than A4, you must change the PAPER SIZE setting. See FAX PRINTER, p. 88.

Loading the paper _____________________________

	with the right edge of the paper tray and

insert it halfway into the paper tray.

4	Holding the paper stack, squeeze and
	slide the paper guide until it touches

the left edge of the stack of paper.

5	Insert the paper stack into the paper
	tray until it stops.

LTR

6 Replace the paper tray cover.

•Make sure the stack of the paper is flat, held upright and aligned with the left paper guide.

•The top edge of the stack does not need to be even.

Installing the BJ cartridge

The first time you set up your fax, you have to install the BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge before you can begin receiving and copying documents.

BJ cartridge guidelines ________________________

Use only the Canon BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge with the FAX-B155.

The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print density of a page. If the majority of your printed output is graphics, you may need to change the ink cartridge more often than when you are receiving or copying text only.

You may need to replace the BJ cartridge when either of the following conditions exist:

Your printed output is not crisp and clear, and there are gaps in the characters (missing dots) even after you have cleaned the print head once or twice and you have removed and reinstalled the BJ cartridge.

You have been using the BJ cartridge for over one year.

• To ensure optimum print quality, Canon recommends the use of the cartridges designated by Canon. Canon accepts no liability or responsibility for damages caused by the use of any cartridge other than those designated by Canon.

•Canon makes numerous ink cartridges; the BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge is the only one designed to be used with the FAX-B155.

UP SETTING

Handling the BJ cartridge _____________________

•Leave the BJ cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to use it to prevent it from drying out.

•Store BJ cartridges out of the reach of children. The ink contains isopropyl alcohol 67-63-0.

•Replace the BJ cartridge after one year of use or if the print is not clear or is missing, even after trying five successive head cleanings.

•Never remove the BJ cartridge unless you are going to replace it. When left exposed, the cartridge print head dries out, making it unusable.

•Do not touch the print head area on

the BJ cartridge. Ink may leak out and cause stains.

• Never shake the BJ cartridge, especially after removing the protective tape from the print head.

If spilled, the ink is very difficult to clean. Therefore, always follow the above precautions and carefully handle the BJ cartridge.

Users in the UK only:

Although this equipment can use either rotary pulse or touch tone, only the performance of the touch tone setting is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the equipment is set to use touch tone for access to public or private emergency services. Touch tone also provides faster call set up.

Setting up to receive faxes

Selecting the receiving mode__________________

Before you set up the receiving mode on your fax, you should determine how you plan to use your fax:

Are you able to dedicate the use of one telephone line to the fax only to receive document transmissions from other fax machines? If yes, choose Fax Only Mode (see below).

Do you want to use your fax as both a telephone and fax, receiving documents automatically and ringing only for telephone calls? If yes, choose Fax/Tel Mode (see below).

Do you want to use your fax mainly as a telephone, and answer every call yourself, whether from a person or a fax unit? If yes, choose Manual Mode (see below).

Do you want to connect an answering machine to your fax and receive the other party’s document and also record the other party’s message? If yes, choose Ans. Machine mode (see below).

How you answer these questions will determine which receiving method you choose. If you are not satisfied with the mode you select, you can always change it at any time.

■ Fax Only Mode (See p. 18)

You may want to use this mode if you have two phone lines in your office, and plan to use one line for the fax and the other line for your telephone.

Set Fax Only Mode if you want to use your fax only to receive faxes automatically and do not intend to use it as a telephone.

■ Fax/Tel Mode (See p. 19)

If you only have one phone line in your office, you may be planning to use it for both fax and telephone communication. By setting this mode, you will be able to use your fax for both fax and telephone communication using only one phone line. You will need to have the optional handset or an extension phone connected to the fax so that when it rings to alert you of a call, you can answer the call. The fax will automatically receive faxes without ringing.

■ Manual Mode (See p. 20)

Use Manual Mode if you receive more telephone calls than faxes. By having a telephone or the optional handset connected to your fax, you can answer every call, whether from a person or from another fax unit. If you hear a slow beep, simply press [Start/Copy] on your fax and hang up the handset to receive the fax.

■ Ans. Machine Mode (See p. 21)

Use Ans. Machine Mode if you have an answering machine connected to the fax. This mode allows you to receive not only documents sent from other fax machines, but also messages from people calling when you are out.

UP SETTING

Fax Only Mode _________________________________

The fax is set up at the factory to Fax/Tel Mode. If you have a dedicated fax line, you need to set the mode to Fax Only.

■ Setting Fax Only Mode

When you set the fax to Fax Only Mode, the unit picks up every call and automatically treats it as a fax transmission.

The fax cannot receive automatically if you are making copies, printing reports, or registering information. See p. 72.

■ Receiving documents in Fax Only Mode

When the fax is set to Fax Only Mode, it automatically receives documents whenever a call comes over the fax line.

1 Make sure the fax is set to “Fax Only Mode” (see above).

The fax assumes all incoming calls are from another fax machine sending a document. It receives the documents automatically.
