Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, e.g. the 2500 (Touch
Tone) or 500 (Rotary/Pulse Dial) telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX machine
without “Call Waiting” can be used with your FAXPHONE L80. Key telephone systems are
not recommended because they send non-standard signals to individual telephones for
ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.
C. Power Requirements
This equipment should be connected to a standard 120-volt AC, three-wire grounded
outlet only. Do not connect this machine to an outlet or power line shared with other
appliances that cause “electrical noise.” Air conditioners, electric typewriters, copiers,
and machines of this sort generate electrical noise which often interferes with
communications equipment and the sending and receiving of documents.
Connection of the Equipment
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted
by the ACTA. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this
number must be provided to the telephone company.
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular jack are provided with this equipment.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises
wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation
instructions for details.
iv Preface
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices
that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all
areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the
local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that
has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without
a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs.
In Case of Equipment Malfunction
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described
in this guide, disconnect the equipment from the telephone line and unplug the power
cord. The telephone line should not be reconnected or the power cord plugged in until
the problem is completely resolved. Users should contact Canon Authorized Service
Facilities for servicing of equipment. Information regarding Authorized Service Facility
locations can be obtained by calling the Canon Customer Care Center.
(1-800-828-4040)
Rights of the Telephone Company
Should the equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
may temporarily disconnect service. The telephone company also retains the right to
make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of this
equipment. When such changes are necessary, the telephone company is required to
give adequate prior notice to the user.

measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15
of FCC Rules.

Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser product
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of
1968. This means that the machine does not produce hazardous radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely confined within protective
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during
any phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These
regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1, 1976. Compliance is
mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
c
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those
specified in this User’s Guide may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The label is attached to the laser scanner machine inside the machine and is not in a
user access area.

■ Location
• Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface.
• Place 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 changes, and always
stays between 50°F and 90.5°F (10°C and 32.5°C).
– Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 80%.
•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.

• If possible, place the machine 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 machine near a standard 120 V AC (60 Hz) power outlet.
• Place the machine near the PC you will be connecting it to. Make sure you can reach
it easily since you will be using it as a printer, fax machine, and copier.
•To ensure reliable operation of the machine 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 machine by placing it on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the machine in a closet or built-in
installation, or near a radiator or other heat register unless proper ventilation is
provided. Leave approximately 4 inches (10 cm) space around all sides of the
machine. For the dimensions of the machine, see p. 2-2.
