Plain Paper Fax Features
Introducing FAX-L380S/L390
The machine is a multifunction system for your home or small office, and combines a plain paper fax
machine, a printer, a copier, and a telephone* into a single, convenient desktop machine.
The machine’s multitasking ability enables you to perform multiple operations simultaneously. For
example, you can print a document or make copies at the same time you are sending a fax.
The compact size of the machine makes it ideal for desktop use, and allows you to use it in places
where other machines may not fit.
■ UHQ™ Image Processing System
The machine uses Canon’s Ultra High Quality Image Processing System to provide enhanced definition in faxed
photos.
■ Error Correction Mode (ECM)
The machine’s Error Correction Mode (ECM) reduces transmission errors while communicating with another
ECM-capable machine.
■ Automatic switching between fax and voice calls*
The machine can automatically distinguish between fax and voice calls, so that you can receive both through a
single phone line.
■ Answering machine connection
You can connect an answering machine to receive telephone messages while you are away.
■ Transmission speed
The machine uses G3 data encoding methods that increase transmission speed to approx. 3 seconds** per page.
■ Memory sending/receiving
The machine can store up to 510** fax pages of A4-size in its memory, and can receive faxes while printing.
■ Reduced-size printing
The machine automatically scales received faxes to fit the size of the paper loaded in the machine.
■ Automatic dialing and broadcasting

Safety Instructions
1
Introducing FAX-L380S/L390
Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your machine, and keep them handy in case
you need to refer to them later.
CAUTION
Except as specifically described in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service the machine yourself.
Never attempt to disassemble the machine: opening and removing its interior covers will expose you
to dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or
the Canon help line.
• Always follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.
• Use the machine only on a sturdy, stable, level surface. If the machine falls, it could be seriously
damaged.
• Do not use the machine near water. If you spill liquid on or into the machine, unplug it immediately
and call your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
• The back of the machine includes slots and openings for ventilation. To keep the machine from
overheating (which can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), take care not to block
or cover these openings. Do not operate the machine on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft
surface, or near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place the machine in a closet or cabinet or on
shelves unless adequate ventilation is available. See “Choosing a Location for Your Machine,” on
p. 2-1 for guidelines on how much space the machine needs for ventilation.
• Operate the machine only from the type of power source indicated on the machine’s label. If you are
unsure of the type of power available from your wall outlets, contact your local power company.
• Make sure the total amperage used by all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the
ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit breaker.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not place the machine where the cord will be
walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.
• Do not insert object of any kind into the slots or openings on the machine’s cabinet, as they could
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, and result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the machine. If something
does fall into it, unplug the machine immediately and call your local authorized Canon dealer or the
Canon help line.
• Do not plug the power cord into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Always unplug the machine before moving or cleaning it.
• Whenever you unplug the machine, wait at least 5 seconds before you plug it back in.
• Keep the machine 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 expose the machine to extreme temperature fluctuations. Install the machine in a place with
temperatures between 10° and 32.5°C.
• Always unplug the machine during thunderstorms.
• Before you transport the machine, remove the toner cartridge.
1-6
Safety Instructions
• Always lift the machine as shown below. Never lift it by its paper cassette or other supports.
CAUTION
Unplug the machine and contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line in any of
these situations:
- If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid spills into the machine, or if it is otherwise exposed to rain or liquids.
- If you notice smoke, unusual noises or odor coming from it.
- If the machine does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions in this User’s Guide, or you can
damage the machine and require extensive repair work.
- If the machine is dropped or its cabinet damaged.
- If the machine begins performing poorly, and you cannot correct the problem by following the
procedures in Chapter 13, “Troubleshooting.”
- 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.
Customer Support
Your machine is designed with the latest technology to provide trouble-free operation. If you encounter
a problem with the machine’s operation, try to solve it by using the information in Chapter 13.
If you cannot solve the problem or if you think your machine needs servicing, contact your local
authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

Setting Up Your Machine
CHAPTER
This chapter tells you how to unpack, assemble, and connect your machine, install the toner cartridge, and load paper
— everything you need to know to get your machine ready to use.
Choosing a Location for Your Machine
Before unpacking your machine, follow these guidelines to choose an appropriate location for the
machine.
CAUTION
Please review the information provided in “Safety Instructions,” on p. 1-6, to make sure you are
installing your machine for safe use.
• Put the machine 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 fluctuations, and remains between
10° and 32.5°C.
- Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 80%.
• Keep the machine away from direct sunlight.
• If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone outlet, to allow for an easy connection of
the telephone line to the machine.
• Place the machine near an electrical wall outlet that provides 200 to 240-volt AC (50 to 60 Hz) power.
• Place the machine near the PC you will be connecting it to. Make sure you can reach it easily, as you
will be using the machine as a printer, fax machine, copier, and telephone.
• Do not plug the machine 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
machine’s ability to send or receive faxes.
• Set the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight
(about 11 kg (12.1 kg for the FAX-L390 model)).

If you have connected an external device to your machine, be sure to set the correct receive mode. (See Chapter
7, “Receiving Faxes.”)
•
To connect an extension phone as well as an answering machine, connect the extension phone to the answering
machine, and then the answering machine to your machine.
•
If you connect a data modem to your machine 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.
Connecting the Machine to Your PC
Your machine has a USB port that allows you to connect it to a PC. Use the USB cable which comes
with this machine*.
*Only for the FAX-L380S model.
NOTE

computer, electric typewriter, or copier. These devices generate electrical noise, which can interfere
with the operation of the machine.
- Make sure nothing is laying on the power cord, and that the cord cannot be walked on or tripped
over.
- Do not overload the electrical outlet. Make sure the total amperage used by all the machines plugged
into the outlet does not exceed the ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit breaker.
- Do not plug the machine into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
