MultiPASS MP730/MP700 Chapter 1: General Description
1. FEATURES
1.1 Overview
This product is a G3 facsimile based on the ITU-T recommendations. It can be used in telephone
networks.
Picture Quality Color Printer
High quality printing can be accomplished with the Canon Bubble Jet (BJ) method using the
maximum 4800 dpi x 1200 dpi resolution.
Various media can be printed at high speed which is maximum 22 pages/minute in black and
white or 14 pages/minute in color.
Plain paper fax which can transmit/receive in color (MP730 only)
Conforming to ITU-T recommendations, this fax is able to transmit/receive in color. Due to
containing extremely high-speed 33.6 kbps modems, transmission time can be shortened.
Pictures and photographs can both be send and received clearly by UHQ (Ultra High
quality), Canon’s vivid image processing technology. Up to 30 letter, legal and A4 size
sheets, can be set in the ADF. 10 one-touch dial entries and 100 speed dial entries can be
registered, and group dial and broadcasting transmission can also be done. When paper and
ink run out, the data is saved to memory, so there is no worry.
Out-of-Ink Function
This machine has a function which detects when ink has run out. The presence/absence of
ink in the ink chamber is detected by reflecting ink sensor.
Copy Function
This machine can be used as a copier which achieves the recording resolution of 600 dpi x
600 dpi for black and white copying or 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi for color copying.
Full Color & 256 Gradation Grayscale Scanner
Using MP Toolbox or MP Drivers (ScanGear and WIA driver), full color and 256-gradation
grayscale images with a quality of 25-9600 dpi can be read into a computer.
PC Fax (MP730 only)
By connecting this machine to a computer, a fax can be transmitted from the included
MultiPASS Suite or from a Windows application. (Cannot be receive)

3.3.2 Print Media
Plain paper
You can use normal photocopy paper, Canon Bubble Jet paper (LC-301), or Canon Super
White paper (SW-101).
Envelopes
You can use U.S. Commercial No. 10, and European DL.
• You cannot load envelopes of other sizes than those abov e.
• Do not use envelopes with double flaps or pressure seals as these do not feed properly.
• Do not use envelopes made with embossed or treated surfaces as print quality will
deteriorate.
High Resolution Paper HR-101N
This type of paper provides better color reproduction than plain paper. It is suitable for
printing business documents that feature graphics, and for photographs.
Glossy Photo Paper GP-301/GP-301N
This media is thicker than High Resolution Paper and has a glossy printing surface to
produce printouts close to photograph quality. This paper is suitable for borderless printing.
Matte Photo Paper MP-101
This is a matte water-resistant paper and provides superior color reproduction. It is suitable
for a variety of printing purposes such as paper crafts, calendars and matt photos.
Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101
This is a thick paper with a glossy water-resistant coating and provides superior color
reproduction. It is ideal for printing high-quality photographs.
Photo Paper Pro PR-101
This is thick paper with a treated surface that enhances gloss and provides superior color
reproduction. It is ideal for printing high-quality photographs. Also, by using borderless
printing, you can print without any white borders.
Photo Paper Pro PC-101S
This card-size paper for printing photographs is made of the same material as Photo Paper
Pro (PR-101). By printing the image beyond the perforations, you can then trim the borders
to produce a photograph without any white borders.
Transparencies CF-102
This film is ideal for printing presentation material for use with overhead projectors.
