2. Order a CA11A modular jack, which should be installed
by the telephone company. If the CA11A jack is not
present, installation cannot occur.

3. Order a normal business line from your telephone
company’s business representative. The line should be
a regular voice grade line or an equivalent one. Use one
line per unit.

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, i.e., 2,500 (touch-tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial)
telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX (Private Branch
eXchange) unit without “Call Waiting” can be used with your
facsimile unit. Key telephone systems are not recommended
because they send nonstandard signals to individual
telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a
facsimile error.

C. Power Requirements

The power outlet should be a three-prong grounded
receptacle (Single or Duplex). It should be independent
from copiers, heaters, air conditioners, or any electric
equipment that is thermostatically controlled. The rated
value is 115 volts and 15 amperes. The CA11A modular jack
should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate
installation.

Notice

• This product meets the applicable Industry Canada
technical specifications.

• The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the
maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to
a telephone interface. The termination of an interface may
consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices
does not exceed five.

• The REN of this product is 1.0.

• Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that
it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also
be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In
some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a
single line individual service may be extended by means of
a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord).
The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent deterioration of service
in some situations.

• Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to
this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.

• Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION

Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

NOTE

This equipment complies with the Canadian ICES-003 Class B
limits.

Utilisation au Canada

Conditions à Remplir Préalablement à L’installation d’un
Télécopieur Canon

A. Emplacement

Prévoir une table, un meuble, ou un bureau suffisamment
solide et de taille appropriée (voir le chapitre 11, Annexe
(Appendix), pour les indications de poids et dimensions).

B. Installation téléphonique

1. Une seule ligne téléphonique (tonalités ou impulsions)

doit être utilisée.

2. Il faut commander un jack modulaire CA11A qui sera

installé par la compagnie téléphonique. Sans ce jack, la
mise en place serait impossible.

3. Si vous vous abonnez à une nouvelle ligne, demandez

une ligne d’affaires normale de qualité téléphonique
courante ou équivalente. Prenez un abonnement d’une
ligne par appareil.

Ligne automatique interurbaine
ou
Ligne automatique internationale (si vous communiquez
avec les pays étrangers)

NOTE

Canon vous conseille d’utiliser une ligne individuelle conforme
aux normes industrielles, à savoir:
ligne téléphonique 2,500 (pour appareil à clavier) ou 500
(pour appareil à cadran/impulsions). Il est également possible
de raccorder ce télécopieur à un système téléphonique à
poussoirs car la plupart de ces systèmes émettent des signaux
d’appel non normalisés ou des codes spéciaux qui risquent de
perturber le fonctionnement du télécopieur.

C. Condition d’alimentation

Raccordez le télécopieur à une prise de courant plus terre
à trois branches, du type simple ou double, et qui ne sert
pas à alimenter un copieur, un appareil de chauffage, un
climatiseur ou tout autre appareil électrique à thermostat.
L’alimentation doit être de 115 volts et 15 ampères. Pour
faciliter l’installation, le jack CA11A doit être assez proche
de la prise de courant.

Remarques

• Le présent matériel est conforme aux spécifications
techniques applicables d’Industrie Canada.

• Avant d’installer cet appareil, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il
est permis de le connecter à l’équipement de la compagnie
de télécommunication locale et doit installer cet appareil
en utilisant une méthode de connexion autorisée. Il se
peut qu’il faille étendre la circuiterie intérieure de la ligne
individuelle d’abonné, qui a été installée par la compagnie,
au moyen d’un jeu de connecteurs homologués (rallonge
téléphonique).

• L’attention de l’utilisateur est attirée sur le fait que le respect
des conditions mentionnées ci-dessus ne constitue pas une
garantie contre les dégradations de qualité du service dans
certaines circonstances.

• L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) sert à indiquer le
nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés
à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une
interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque
de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indices
d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède
pas 5.

• Le nombre d’équivalents sonnerie (REN) de ce produit est
1,0.

• Les réparations sur un appareil certifié doivent être
faites par une société d’entretien canadienne autorisée
par le Gouvernement canadien et désignée par le
fournisseur. Toute réparation ou modification que
pourrait faire I’utilisateur de cet appareil, ou tout
mauvais fonctionnement, donne à la compagnie de
télécommunication le droit de débrancher I’appareil.

• Pour sa propre protection, I’utilisateur doit s’assurer que
les prises de terre de I’appareil d’alimentation, les lignes
téléphoniques et les tuyaux métalliques internes, s’il y
en a, sont bien connectés entre eux. Cette précaution est
particulièrement importante dans les zones rurales

CAUTION

Au lieu d’essayer de faire ces branchements eux-mêmes, les
utilisateurs sont invités à faire appel à un service d’inspection
faisant autorité en matière d’électricité ou à un électricien,
selon le cas.

NOTE

Respecte les limites de la classe B de la NMB-003 du Canada.

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.

CAUTION

Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures
other than those specified in this manual 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.
