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.
c
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).

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.
n
• The use of the jacks on the side may differ in certain countries. See “Appendix C” for
details.
• Be sure to connect any external device before using your FAX.
Follow this procedure to connect the telephone line cord and external device(s):
1
Connect the supplied
telephone line cord
to the L jack, then
the other end to the
telephone line jack
on your wall.
2
Connect the optional
handset or telephone
cord to the h jack.

• 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.
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.
n
• 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.
When you connect the power cord to an AC outlet for the first time, DISPLAY
LANGUAGE will appear in the LCD display after PLEASE WAIT. In this case, set the
language for the LCD display and the country**. (1 p. 2-9)
Connect the supplied power cord
to the power cord connector.
Then connect the other end into
a properly grounded 200—240 V
AC three-prong outlet.*
* The shape of the plug and outlet vary depending on the country of purchase.
** The country selection feature is available for certain countries only.

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.
c
Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
2-14 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.
c
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.
