Preface
Thank you for choosing a Canon product. Before using the machine, please read
the following instructions for your safety.
Important Safety Instructions
WAR NIN G
Except as specifically described in this 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 Canon Customer Care Center, or a Canon
Authorized Service Facility.
Handling and Maintenance
– Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.
– Do not subject the machine to strong physical shocks or vibrations.
– Always unplug the machine before moving or cleaning it.
– To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the left cover, or add or
remove paper in the machine while printing.
– When transporting the machine, be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the
machine.
– Place the toner cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth to
prevent exposure to light.
– Always grip the handle on the sides of the machine when you lift the machine. Never
lift the machine by any of its trays or attachments.
– Do not insert any objects into the slots or openings on the machine 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
machine.
– To avoid spillage in or around the machine, do not eat or drink near it.
– Keep the machine clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the machine from operating
properly.
What Can I Do with This Machine?
xiii
– Unplug the machine from the wall outlet and contact Canon Customer Care Center
in any of the following cases:
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid or small object has fallen into the machine.
– If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the machine 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 machine has been dropped.
– If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for
servicing.
What Can I Do with This Machine?
Location
– Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to
support its weight.
– 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 exposed to high temperature or humidity.
– Keep the machine away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to
place the machine near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
– Do not use the machine near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come
into contact with the machine.
– Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
– Do not place the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic
fields, such as speakers.
– 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.
xiv
– 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 cupboard or built-in
installation, or near a radiator or other heat source unless proper ventilation is
provided. Leave enough space around all sides of the machine.
– 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 odors,
noises) around the machine, unplug the power cord immediately. Contact Canon
Customer Care Center.
– 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.
Power Supply
– During electrical storms, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
(Please note that any documents stored in the machine’s memory will be deleted
when you unplug the power cord.)
– Whenever you unplug the power cord, wait at least five seconds before you plug it in
again.
– Do not plug the power cord into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile
Equipment
A.Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See p. 14-1 for the machine’s weight and
dimensions.
B.Order Information
1. Only a single line, touch-tone or rotary telephone set is to be used.
What Can I Do with This Machine?
2. Order an RJ11-C modular jack (USOC code), which should be installed by the
telephone company. If the RJ11-C jack is not present, installation cannot occur.
3. Order a regular voice grade line or the equivalent from your telephone company’s
business representative.
Use one line per machine.
DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE
-or-
IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE
OVERSEAS
NOTE
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 the machine. 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. This machine is not supported on Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP).
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.
xxii
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 the Starter
Guide for details.
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., 10 is a REN of 1.0).
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs.
What Can I Do with This Machine?
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 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.
