Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling,
only the performance of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory
requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that
the equipment is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or private
emergency services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.

Notice for Connection to Telecommunication Systems in
the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland

Approval Number 607912

Your Canon MultiPASS L60 has been approved against the requirements of
NTR3 for use in the UK. The CE mark is applied in respect of the requirements
of 72/23 EEC and 89/336 EEC.

It is intended for connection to analogue two wire public telecommunication
networks.

Connect the supplied cable to this socket first, then to the telephone line.
This socket is intended for connection of the Canon optional telephone. If

required, an adapter to connect any piece of approved telecommunications
apparatus is available from your Canon supplier.

Canon recommend that any additional equipment connected in the installation is
connected to this ”handset” socket. Do not connect additional equipment
through parallel sockets elsewhere on the telephone line.

Voltage and current available at these sockets is determined by the network to
which the line cable is connected. They will not normally exceed the limits for
TNV as described in EN60950.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) = 1
The REN is a guide to help calculate the maximum number of items of apparatus

that will ring when connected simultaneously to one phone line. The total RENs
of the individual items should not exceed 4. Correct ringing may not always be
possible even when total REN does not exceed 4. The REN value of a BT
telephone is assumed to be 1 unless otherwise marked.

This equipment is not intended or recommended for making calls to emergency
services.

iv Preface

EMC Directive

This equipment has been tested in a typical system to comply with the technical
requirements of the EMC directive. Use of a shielded cable is necessary to
comply with the technical requirements of the EMC Directive.

1-1Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS L60

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the new Canon MultiPASS L60. We are sure that your
MultiPASS L60 will help meet your fax and phone requirements easily and
conveniently, as well as your printing, copying, and scanning needs.

1-2 Chapter 1Introducing the MultiPASS L60

The Main Features of the MultiPASS L60

The MultiPASS L60 is a complete multifunction system for your home or small
office. The MultiPASS L60 combines the following essential office machines into
a single, convenient desktop unit:

J Plain Paper Fax Machine J Printer
J Copier J PC Fax
J Scanner J Telephone*

Your MultiPASS L60 also includes the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for
WindowsH. This exclusive Canon software package provides you with a ”PC Fax”
– you can print, fax, scan, and use the telephone from within your PC’s Windows
environment.

The MultiPASS L60’s multitasking ability enables you to perform a number of
operations simultaneously. For example, you can print, scan 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 MultiPASS L60 makes it ideal for desktop use, and
allows you to use it in places where other machines may not fit.

* Requires the optional handset, a telephone, or an answering machine.

1-3Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS L60

Plain Paper Fax Features

UHQTMImage Processing System

The MultiPASS L60 uses Canon’s Ultra-High Quality Image Processing System
to provide enhanced definition in faxed photos.

Error Correction Mode (ECM)

Using the MultiPASS L60’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 MultiPASS L60 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 MultiPASS L60 to let it receive
telephone messages and faxes while you are away from your desk.

Transmission speed

The MultiPASS L60 uses G3 data encoding methods that increase transmission
speed to approximately 6 seconds* per page.

Memory sending/receiving

The MultiPASS L60 can store up to 90* fax pages (either received or to be sent)
in its built-in memory, and can receive faxes while printing or even when your PC
is turned off.

Reduced-size printing

The MultiPASS L60 automatically scales received faxes to fit the size of the paper
loaded in the multi-purpose tray. So if your client is sending you a fax on paper
larger than an A4-size page and you have A4-size paper in the multi-purpose
tray, the fax will be scaled down and printed on A4-size paper.

Automatic dialling and broadcasting

To make faxing even easier, the MultiPASS L60 provides several automatic
dialling methods: coded speed dialling, one-touch speed dialling, and group
dialling. The MultiPASS L60 also enables you to broadcast faxes or send faxes at
a preset time to as many as 117 locations at once.

* Based on Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1, standard mode

1-4 Chapter 1Introducing the MultiPASS L60

Point-and-click dialling

The MultiPASS Desktop Manager enables you to select a fax number and dial
directly from your PC’s screen with a simple click of the mouse.

Flexible document feeding

The MultiPASS L60 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
(up to 20 A4- or letter-size pages, or 10 legal-size pages at a time), to a single
photo or business card.

Printer Features

Excellent print quality and speed

The MultiPASS L60 offers 600 × 600 dpi laser beam printing, providing you with
high resolution text and graphics. The exceptional printing speed of 6 pages per
minute allows you to work more effectively.

Simple maintenance

The FX-3 toner cartridge for the MultiPASS L60 contains both the toner and the
drum, making installation and replacement simple and clean.

Convenient paper handling

The MultiPASS L60 multi-purpose tray holds up to 100 sheets* of plain A4,

Installing/Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The MultiPASS L60 uses a Canon FX-3 toner cartridge. The procedure below
explains how to install the cartridge for the first time, and how to replace it when
the toner runs out.

When the message CHANGE CARTRIDGE appears, the toner in the cartridge
may simply be unevenly distributed. Before replacing the cartridge, follow the
instructions on page 11-33 to evenly distribute the toner. If after doing this the
message remains displayed or the print quality is low, replace the cartridge as
described below.

Canon makes numerous cartridges. The FX-3 toner cartridge has been designed
specially for the MultiPASS L60 and is the only one Canon recommends that you
use.

1. Remove any documents and/or printed pages from the unit.

2. Make sure the MultiPASS L60 is plugged in.

3. Open the front cover by pressing the release latches on the sides of the unit.

J Lift the cover forward to its open position.

2-29Chapter 2 Setting Up Your MultiPASS L60

Do not open the front cover without pressing the release latches as this may
cause damage to your unit.

4. If replacing a used cartridge, hold the cartridge by its handle and remove it as

shown.

J Dispose of the toner cartridge properly. To recycle your used cartridge,

simply follow the instructions included with your new FX-3 toner
cartridge.

5. Remove the new FX-3 toner cartridge from its protective bag.

J Save the protective bag the cartridge comes in. You may need to repack

the cartridge later.

6. Gently rock the cartridge from side to side several times to distribute the

toner evenly inside the cartridge.
J Poor print quality may result if the toner becomes unequally distributed

inside the cartridge.

Loading Recording Paper

When the message LOAD PAPER appears in the LCD display, you need to add
paper to the multi-purpose tray. Here are a few tips you should follow when you
load paper into the multi-purpose tray.

J Use A4-size paper.

J Use standard 64-90 g/m
J The multi-purpose tray holds up to 100 sheets of 75 g/m

mm stack height).
J Let the paper run out before you refill the multi-purpose tray. Avoid mixing

new paper with paper remaining in the multi-purpose tray.
J Stack the paper so that the top and bottom edges and sides are straight and

even before placing it in the multi-purpose tray.
J Do not print on both sides of the paper. Doing so may cause several sheets to

feed into the unit at the same time.

J Do not use damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper as these can cause paper

jams or poor print quality.

J Highly textured or extremely smooth or shiny paper does not print well.
J The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper.

Use paper that will not melt, vaporise, discolour, or emit dangerous fumes at

temperatures near 170!C. For example, do not use vellum paper in a laser

printer. Make sure any letterhead or coloured paper you use can withstand

high temperatures.

J Make sure the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.
J To keep the paper from curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready

to use the paper. Store unused paper from opened packs in a cool, dry

location in the original packaging.
J Your MultiPASS L60 is factory-set to use A4-size paper. If you wish to use

letter- or legal-size paper, you must change the setting from the FAX

PRINTER menu. See pages 13-12 and 13-13 for more details on changing the

setting. You can also change this setting from the MultiPASS Desktop

Manager. See the MultiPASS Desktop Manager User’s Guide for details.

Methods for Registering Information in the
MultiPASS L60

To customise the MultiPASS L60 to your particular needs, you can adjust general
operation, sending, receiving, and speed dialling settings. There are two methods
of adjusting these settings:

Method 1: Using the MultiPASS L60 operation panel

You can adjust settings directly via the operation panel of the MultiPASS L60.
Detailed instructions are described in this user’s guide. Adjusting settings through
the operation panel is convenient when you do not have your MultiPASS L60
connected to a PC.

Method 2: Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager

You can adjust settings using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager software included
with your MultiPASS L60. For detailed instructions refer to the MultiPASS
Desktop Manager User’s Guide.

Before adjusting any settings, decide whether you prefer to make changes from
the operation panel or from the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. Using both–the
operation panel and the MultiPASS Desktop Manager–may cause confusion.
Changes made to settings through the operation panel will not be displayed in
the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, and changes made in the MultiPASS Desktop
Manager will override any corresponding settings made through the operation
panel.

If your MultiPASS L60 unit is connected to a PC, we recommend the use of the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager to adjust any settings.

3-2 Chapter 3Registering Information in the MultiPASS L60

For paper sizes other than A4, letter, and legal, be sure to use face-up delivery.
See page 4-9 for details.

Standard envelopes with diagonal seams and flaps should print nicely.

When feeding envelopes, be sure to use face-up delivery. See page 4-9 for details.

Envelopes must meet the requirements listed for plain paper, as well as the
following:

J Envelopes must not contain clasps, fasteners, windows, or peel-off adhesive

strips for sealing.

J Envelopes must be empty. Do not put anything in the envelope prior to

printing.

4-4 Chapter 4Paper Handling

Labels

Sheets of A4 or letter-size self-sticking labels should also print without any
problems. Labels must meet the requirements listed for plain paper, as well as the
following:

J Labels must have an ordinary, matte finish similar to copy paper.
J The label backing must not be made of easily removable coated paper.
J Labels must not have any exposed adhesive.
J Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that are

wrinkled or damaged in any way.

J Do not use label sheets with the backing sheet exposed, such as labels with

any spaces between them.

When feeding labels, be sure to use face-up delivery. See page 4-9 for details.

Transparencies

You must use special laser printer transparencies for printing. A4 and letter-size
laser transparencies should print without any problems.

J To prevent the transparency from curling, remove the transparency as it

comes out of the MultiPASS L60 and set it on a flat surface to cool.

When feeding transparencies, be sure to use face-up delivery. See page 4-9 for
details.

4-5Chapter 4 Paper Handling

The Paper Path

Understanding how paper feeds through the MultiPASS L60 will help you to
determine how to load paper and handle paper jams.

The page travels first to the FX-3 toner cartridge. Here a laser beam ”draws” the
print image on the drum, then the drum applies toner to the page. The page then
travels to the fixing assembly where the toner is fused to the page. The page then
exits the unit from the front or top.

You can also use face-up delivery when printing or receiving a large number of
pages. In this case, push in the extension tray and place the unit on the edge of a
table. This will allow the pages to fall away from the unit and avoid blocking the
face-up delivery slot. You may also want to place a box below the unit so that the
pages can collect into the box.
