Pre-installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment

A. Location

Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. For the machine's dimensions and weight, see Chapter 11, "Appendix," in the Basic Guide.

B. Order Information

1. Only a single line, touch-tone or rotary telephone set is to be used.

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.

viii

IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE OVERSEAS

NOTE

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, e.g., the 2,500 (Touch Tone) or 500 (Rotary/Pulse Dial) telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX unit without "Call Waiting" can be used with the Color imageCLASS MF8170c. 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.

Page 9

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.

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.

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 Canon 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.

-or-

IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE OVERSEAS

NOTE

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards [e.g., the 2,500 (touch tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones]. A dedicated extension off a PBX unit without "Camp On" signals is also permissible with your Color imageCLASS MF8170c. 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

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 120 volts and 15 amperes. The CA11A modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.

Registering Sender Information

In the United States, FCC rules governing the use of facsimile equipment state that your fax/telephone number, personal name or company name, and date and time of transmission must be printed on every facsimile transmission. The machine has been designed to print this information at the top of every fax you send.

You must therefore register this information in the machine before using it.

Below is an example of how your sender information will print on a fax sent from the machine:

12/27/2004 15:33 FAX 123 4567 YOUR NAME 001/001

Date and time of transmission

Your fax/telephone number. You can select <FAX> or <TEL> to be displayed in front of the number. (See <2. TEL NUMBER MARK> on p. 8-3.)

Speed Dialing Methods

Speed dialing allows you to dial fax/telephone numbers by simply pressing one or a few keys.

The following speed dialing methods are available:

■ One-Touch Speed Dialing

Register a fax/telephone number for one-touch speed dialing (see "Registering One-Touch Speed Dialing," on p. 3-2), then to dial the number, simply press the one-touch speed dialing key assigned to that number.

■ Coded Speed Dialing

Register a fax/telephone number for coded speed dialing (see "Registering Coded Speed Dialing," on p. 3-4), then to dial the number, simply press [Coded Dial] ➞ enter the two-digit code assigned to that number.

■ Group Dialing

Register a group of fax/telephone numbers for group dialing (see "Registering Group Dialing," on p. 3-6), then to send a document to all numbers in that group, simply press the one-touch speed dialing key, or press [Coded Dial] ➞ enter the two-digit code assigned to that group.

NOTE

After you set up your speed dialing keys, we recommend that you occasionally print a list of all fax/telephone numbers registered in the machine, and store it for reference. (See "Printing Speed Dialing Lists," on p. 3-8.)

Troubleshooting

This chapter describes the problems you might encounter during fax operations and their remedies. It also explains what to do if you cannot solve the problem by yourself.

LCD Messages

The following messages are displayed in the LCD when the machine performs a function or if it encounters an error.

This section describes messages related to fax functions. For other messages, see Chapter 9, "Troubleshooting," in the Basic Guide.

CHANGE PAPERSIZE

Cause When the machine prints the reports or lists, the paper size setting is set to a

size other than <LTR>, <LGL> or <A4>.

CHAPTER

Remedy Set the paper size setting to <LTR>, <LGL> or <A4> and load paper of the same

size. For the TX report or RX report, the machine automatically prints the reports or lists which was stored in the memory.

CHECK DOCUMENT

Cause 1 There is a paper jam in the ADF.

Remedy Remove the document you are trying to send in the ADF. (See Chapter 9,

"Troubleshooting," in the Basic Guide.) Make sure that the document is not too long or too short. (See Chapter 3, "Document Handling," in the Basic Guide.) Then reset the machine by opening the cartridge cover and then closing it.

LCD Messages

7-1

Page 72

Cause 2 The ADF roller rotates without feeding documents.

Remedy Fan the edge that will feed into the machine first, then tap the edge of multiple

page documents on a flat surface to even the stack.

CHECK PAPER SIZE

CauseThe size of the paper in the cassette or multi-purpose feeder is different from

that of the paper specified in <PAPER SIZE> in <PAPER SETTINGS> of the Menu.

Remedy 1 Load the correct paper size or change <PAPER SIZE> in <PAPER SETTINGS>

of the Menu. For more information, see the following:

• Chapter 2, "Paper Handling," in the Basic Guide

• Chapter 5, "Copying," in the Basic Guide

Then reset the machine by opening the cartridge cover and then closing it.

Remedy 2 If you are trying to print a report or list, set the paper size setting to <LTR>,

<LGL> or <A4> and load paper of the same size. Then reset the machine by opening the cartridge cover and then closing it. The report or list will then be printed automatically.

DOCUMENT TOO LONG

Cause The document is longer than 1 m, or is not feeding correctly.

Remedy Reduce the length of the document to within 1 m, and then re-send it.

MEM IN USE nn %

Tr ou bl eshooting

7-2

Cause Shows the percentage of the memory currently in use. This message is

displayed when you set the document in ADF.

Remedy If you need more space, wait for the machine to send any faxes in memory. Also

print or delete any documents in memory you no longer needed.

MEMORY FULL

Cause 1 The memory becomes full during sending, or receiving the fax.

Remedy When sending the document, divide it into a few parts or select a lower fax

resolution. If you need more space, wait for the machine to send any remaining faxes. If <MEMORY FULL> appears while scanning documents using the ADF, the document being scanned stops in the ADF. In this case, clear the paper jam in the ADF. (See Chapter 9, "Troubleshooting," in the Basic Guide.)

LCD Messages

Page 73

Cause 2 The number of fax jobs can be stored in memory reached the maximum.

Remedy The machine can store up to 20 fax jobs for each sending and receiving job, or

25 fax jobs including sending and receiving jobs. Wait for the machine to send any faxes in memory. Also print or delete any documents in memory.

NOT REGISTERED

CauseThe one-touch speed dialing key or coded speed dialing code you entered is not

registered.

Remedy Register the one-touch speed dialing key or coded speed dialing code. For

more information, see the following:

• "Registering One-Touch Speed Dialing," on p. 3-2

• "Registering Coded Speed Dialing," on p. 3-4

RECEIVED IN MEMORY

Cause The machine received the fax in the memory because paper or toner ran out, a

paper jam occurred, or incorrect paper size was loaded.

Remedy Load correct paper size in the cassette, replace the cartridge, or clear the paper

jam. For more information, see the following:

• Chapter 2, "Paper Handling," in the Basic Guide

• Chapter 8, "Maintenance," in the Basic Guide

• Chapter 9, "Troubleshooting," in the Basic Guide

fax machine. You can try to send the document manually. If you are making an overseas call, add pauses to the registered number.

Cause 2 The other party is not using a G3 fax machine.

Remedy Check with the other party, and send the document to a G3 fax machine. If the

other party does not have a G3 fax machine, try sending your document using a transmission mode or speed that the other party supports. (See <3. TX START SPEED> of "Menu Descriptions," on p. 8-3.)

#0012

Cause The other fax machine has run out of paper and its memory is full.

Tr ou bl eshooting
