Customer Support

Your FAX is designed with the latest technology to provide trouble-free operation. If you encounter a problem with the unit’s operation, try to solve it by using the information in Chapter 13. If you cannot solve the problem or if you think your FAX needs servicing, contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

1-4 Introduction Chapter 1

Important Safety Instructions

Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your FAX.

Except as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service the FAX yourself. Never attempt to disassemble the unit: opening and removing its interior covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service, contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

■ Handling and Maintenance

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the FAX.

• Do not subject the FAX to strong physical shocks or vibrations.

• Always unplug the FAX before moving or cleaning it.

• To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the front cover, or add or

remove paper in the multi-purpose tray while printing.

• When transporting the FAX, be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the unit. Place

the toner cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth to prevent exposure to light.

• Always lift the FAX as shown below. Never lift it by any of its attachments.

• Do not insert any objects into the slots or openings on the FAX since they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the FAX. If

something does fall into it, unplug the unit immediately and contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

• To avoid spillage in or around the unit, do not eat or drink near it. If you spill liquid or if

any substance falls into it, unplug the unit immediately and contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

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

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-5

Introduction

• Unplug the FAX from the wall outlet and contact your local authorised Canon dealer

or the Canon help line in any of the following cases:

– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

– If liquid has spilled into the unit.

– If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

– If the unit does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in this

guide. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the 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 FAX on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support

its weight (approx. 10 kg).

• Place the FAX 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 10° and 32.5°C.

– Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 80%.

• Keep the FAX 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 FAX near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come into

contact with the unit.

• Do not use or store the FAX outdoors.

• Do not install the FAX near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields,

such as speakers.

• If possible, place the FAX near an existing telephone line outlet for easy connection of

the telephone line cord, and to avoid the expense of installing a new outlet.

• Place the FAX near a standard 200–240 V AC (50–60 Hz) power outlet.

• To ensure reliable operation of the FAX and to protect it from overheating (which can

cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent. 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 cupboard or built-in installation, or near a radiator or other heat source unless proper ventilation is provided. Leave approximately 10 cm space around all sides of the unit. For the dimensions of the FAX, see p. A-2.

1-6 Introduction Chapter 1

• 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 odours, noises) around the FAX, unplug the unit immediately. Contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

• 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.

■ Power Supply

• During electrical storms, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. (Please

note that any documents stored in the FAX’s memory will be deleted when you unplug the unit.)

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

• Do not plug the FAX into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

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.

2-6 Setting Up Chapter 2

Making Connections

Connecting the Telephone Line Cord and External Devices

Your FAX has three jacks on the side for connection of the following:

• Telephone line cord

• Optional handset or telephone

• Additional telephone, answering machine, or data modem

If you only have one telephone line and plan to use your FAX for receiving both faxes and voice calls, you will need to connect the optional handset, a telephone, or an answering machine to your unit.

Be sure to connect any external device before using your FAX.

Follow this procedure to connect the telephone line cord and external device(s):

Connect the supplied telephone line cord to the L jack, then the other end to the telephone line jack on your wall.

Connect the optional handset or telephone cord to the h jack. (UK users, see the following page.)

Connect the additional telephone, answering machine, or data modem cord to the t jack. (UK users, see the following page.)

Chapter 2 Setting Up 2-7

Setting Up

• Canon cannot guarantee that all answering machines will be compatible with your unit, due to varying specifications.

• If you have connected an external device to your FAX, be sure to set the correct receive mode (1 Chapter 8).

• To connect an additional telephone as well as an answering machine, connect the additional telephone to the answering machine, and then the answering machine to your FAX.

• If you connect a data modem to your FAX and you use it extensively, or others access your PC frequently through the data modem, you may want a dedicated telephone line for your data modem.

■ Users in the UK Only

If the connectors of the external devices cannot be connected to the jacks on the FAX, you will need to purchase one or more B.T. adaptors to connect them as follows:

Connect the telephone cord to the B.T. adaptor. Then connect the B.T. adaptor to the h jack.

Connect the additional telephone, answering machine, or data modem cord to the B.T. adaptor. Then connect the B.T. adaptor to the

t jack.

-or-

2-8 Setting Up Chapter 2

Connecting the Power Cord

Before connecting the power cord, see Power Supply, p. 1-6.

Follow this procedure to connect the power cord:

The FAX has no power switch, so its power is on as long as it is plugged in. Once connected, though, the unit still needs time to warm up before you can use it. Wait until the LCD no longer displays PLEASE WAIT.

• The FAX 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 the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by breaking off the third prong or using a 3-to-2 adaptor.*

• Do not plug the FAX 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 FAX’s ability to send and receive faxes.

Connect the supplied power cord to the power cord connector. Then connect the other end into a properly grounded 200–240 V AC threeprong outlet.*

* The shape of the plug and outlet vary depending on the country of purchase.

Installing the Toner Cartridge

This section describes how to install the toner cartridge in the FAX for the very first time. If you are replacing a used toner cartridge, see p. 12-7.

Before installing the toner cartridge, be sure to read the following:

• Use only FX-3 toner cartridges in your FAX.

• Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks.

The magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items.

• Do not store the toner cartridge in direct sunlight.

• Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in temperature. Store the toner cartridge between 0° and 35°C.

• Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for longer than five

minutes.

• Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install the toner cartridge in the unit.

• Save the toner cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the toner cartridge at a later date.

• Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases such as from aerosol sprays.

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from the FAX unnecessarily.

• Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge.

Print quality may deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.

• Hold the toner cartridge as shown so that your hand is not touching the drum protective shutter.

• Never touch the drum protective shutter. When holding the toner cartridge, avoid touching the drum protective shutter with your hands.

• Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may prove impossible to free it even by shaking the toner cartridge.

Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.

2-12 Setting Up Chapter 2

Follow this procedure to install the toner cartridge in the FAX:

1 Make sure the FAX is plugged in.

2 Lift the latch and open the front cover.

Do not open the front cover without lifting the latch since this may damage your unit.

3 Remove the new FX-3 toner cartridge

from its protective bag.

• Save the protective bag in case you need to repack the toner cartridge at a later date.

4 Gently rock the toner cartridge from

side to side a few times to distribute the toner evenly inside it.

• Poor print quality may result if the toner is unequally distributed.

5 Place and support the toner cartridge

on a flat, clean surface, then gently pull on the plastic tab to remove the plastic seal.

• Use a firm, even pull to avoid breaking the seal.

6 Hold the toner cartridge by its handle

and insert it into the FAX as far as it will go, making sure that its tabs are aligned with the rails inside the unit.

• Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle.

7 Use both hands to close the front

cover.

Loading Paper

This section explains how to load plain paper in the multi-purpose tray.

For complete details on paper requirements and selecting paper for your FAX, see Chapter 5.

Before loading paper, be sure to read the following:

The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporise, discolour, or emit dangerous fumes at temperatures near 170°C. For example, do not use vellum paper in a laser printer. Make sure any letterhead or coloured paper you use can withstand high temperatures.

• Your FAX supports regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, and typical letterhead paper. It does not require special paper. Use cut-sheet paper only, not paper that comes on a roll.

• Be sure to load paper of the correct size, weight, and quantity recommended for your FAX (1 Chapter 5).

• The multi-purpose tray is factory-set for loading A4-size paper, but you can change this setting to other paper sizes (1 p. 5-7).

• You can choose whether paper is delivered through the face-up or face-down delivery slot (1 p. 5-4). Choose according to the task you are performing.

• The face-down delivery slot can hold up to approximately 50 sheets of paper. To prevent paper jams, remove paper from this slot before the count reaches 50.

• Do not load paper while the FAX is printing.

• Do not leave paper stacked in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time since it

may bend or curl and cause problems.

• Certain environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity, can cause some paper to misfeed in the multi-purpose tray. If you have trouble, feed one sheet at a time.

• Take care not to drop any foreign objects into the multi-purpose tray.

• Avoid mixing new stock with paper

already loaded in the multi-purpose tray. Adding new stock without removing the paper already loaded will cause paper jams. If you must add new stock, remove the loaded paper and reload it together with the new stock.
