Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the new Canon FAX-L360. We are sure that
your FAX-L360 will meet your printing and copying needs easily and
conveniently, as well as your fax and phone requirements.

The Main Features of the FAX-L360
The FAX-L360 is a multifunction system for your home or small office.
The FAX-L360 combines a plain paper fax machine, a copier, and a
telephone* into a single, convenient desktop unit.
The FAX-L360’s multitasking ability enables you to perform a number of
operations simultaneously. For example, you can print a document or
make copies at the same time you are sending a fax or receiving a fax into
memory.
The compact size of the FAX-L360 makes it ideal for desktop use, and
allows you to use it in places where other machines may not fit.
Plain Paper Fax Features
UHQ
™
Image Processing System
The F AX-L360 uses Canon’s Ultra High Quality Image Pr ocessing System
to provide enhanced definition in faxed photos.
Error Correction Mode (ECM)
Using the FAX-L360’s Error Correction Mode (ECM) reduces
transmission errors when sending faxes to or receiving faxes from other
fax machines that also have ECM capability.
Automatic switching between fax and voice calls
The FAX-L360 can automatically distinguish between fax calls and
normal telephone calls, so that you can receive both through a single
phone line.
Answering machine connection
You can connect an answering machine to the FAX-L360 to let it receive
telephone messages and faxes while you are away from your desk.
* With optional handset or other telephone connected. This featur e is available for
certain countries only.

Introducing the FAX-L360 Chapter 1
Transmission speed
The FAX-L360 uses G3 data encoding methods that increase transmission
speed to approximately 3 seconds* per page.
Memory sending/receiving
The F AX-L360 can stor e up to 400* fax pages (either received or to be sent)
in its built-in memory, and can receive faxes while printing.
Reduced-size printing
The FAX-L360 automatically scales received faxes to fit the size of the
paper loaded in the paper cassette or the multi-purpose tray. So if your
client is sending you a fax on A4-size paper and you have letter-size
paper in the multi-purpose tray, the fax will be scaled down and printed
on letter-size paper.
Automatic dialling and broadcasting
To make faxing even easier, the FAX-L360 provides several automatic
dialling methods: One-Touch Speed Dialling, Coded Speed Dialling, and
Group Dialling. The FAX-L360 also enables you to broadcast faxes or
send faxes at a preset time to as many as 133 locations at once.
Flexible document feeding
The FAX-L360 includes an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that can
be set for automatic document feed or manual document feed, according
to your needs. This allows you to fax a variety of documents, from
multipage documents, to a single photo or business card.
Printer Features
Excellent print quality
The FAX-L360 offers 600 × 600 dpi laser beam printing, providing you
with high resolution text and graphics.
Simple maintenance
The FX-3 toner cartridge for the FAX-L360 contains both the toner and
drum, making installation and replacement simple.
Economy toner-saving printing
The FAX-L360 includes an economy printing mode which allows you to
reduce toner consumption by 30% to 40% approximately.
* Based on Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1, standard mode
Introducing the
FAX-L360
Chapter 1 Introducing the FAX-L360

Copier Features
Up to 99 copies
The FAX-L360 can make up to 99 copies of a document at a time, at a rate
of up to 6 copies per minute.
Resolution
The FAX-L360 scans documents at 400 × 300 dpi when using direct
copying and 200 × 300 dpi when using memory copying. Printing
resolution is 600 × 600 dpi.
Copy reduction
The F AX-L360 can r educe copies to 90%, 80% or 70% of their original size.
This allows you to copy legal-size documents onto A4-size paper, for
example.
Telephone Features*
Automatic dialling
The FAX-L360’s three automatic dialling methods (One-Touch Speed
Dialling, Coded Speed Dialling, and Group Dialling) can be used to store
phone numbers and fax numbers for easy and efficient calling.
Connection for the optional handset, an answering machine, or a
telephone
Connecting the optional handset or a telephone to the FAX-L360 allows
you to use it to make and receive normal telephone calls. In addition,
connecting an answering machine allows you to receive faxes and phone
messages while you are away from your desk.
*This feature is available for certain countries only.

Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
❏ Always follow all warnings and instructions marked on the

❏
Use the FAX-L360 only on a sturdy, stable, level surface. If the unit

other similar soft surface, or near a radiator or other heat source. Do
not place the FAX-L360 in a closet or cabinet or on shelves unless
adequate ventilation is available. See “Choosing a Location for Your
FAX-L360” on page 2-3 for guidelines on how much space the unit
needs for ventilation.

Operate the FAX-L360 only from the type of power source indicated
on the unit’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
FAX-L360 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

Choosing a Location for Your FAX-L360
Before unpacking your FAX-L360, follow these guidelines to choose an
appropriate location for the unit.
Please review the information provided in “Safety Instructions” on pages
1-11 to 1-13, to make sure you are installing your FAX-L360 for safe use.
❏ Put the FAX-L360 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 10º and 32.5ºC.
• Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20%
and 80%.
❏ Keep the FAX-L360 away from direct sunlight.
❏
If possible, place the FAX-L360 near an existing telephone outlet, to
allow for an easy connection of the telephone line to the unit.
❏
Place the FAX-L360 near an electrical wall outlet that provides 200 to
