Your MultiPASS is designed with the latest technology to provide trouble-free operation. If you encounter a problem with the unit’s operation, try to solve it by using the information in Chapter 13. If you cannot solve the problem or if you think your MultiPASS needs servicing, contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

1-4 Introduction Chapter 1

Important Safety Instructions

Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your MultiPASS.

Except as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service the MultiPASS yourself. Never attempt to disassemble the unit: opening and removing its interior covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service, contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

■ Handling and Maintenance

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the MultiPASS.

• Do not subject the MultiPASS to strong physical shock or vibration.

• Always unplug the MultiPASS before moving or cleaning it.

• To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the printer cover, or remove

Store the BJ cartridge in the BJ cartridge container provided with your unit.

• Always lift the MultiPASS as shown below. Never lift it by any of its attachments.

• Do not push objects of any kind into the slots or openings on the cabinet as 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

MultiPASS. If something does fall into it, unplug the unit immediately and contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

• To avoid spillage in or around the unit, do not eat or drink near the unit. If you spill

liquid or if any substance falls into the unit, unplug the unit immediately and contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

• Keep the MultiPASS clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the unit from operating

properly.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-5

Introduction

• Unplug the MultiPASS from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified personnel

under the following conditions: – When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. – If liquid has spilled into the unit. – If the unit has been exposed to rain or water. – If the unit 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 unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. – If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for servicing.

■ Location

• Place the MultiPASS on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight (approx. 6.6 kg).

• Place the MultiPASS in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place. – Make sure the area is free from dust. – Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature changes, and always

stays between 10° and 32.5°C.

– Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 85%.

• Keep the MultiPASS away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to place it near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.

• Place the MultiPASS near the PC you will be connecting it to, and make sure you can reach it easily.

1-6 Introduction Chapter 1

• To ensure reliable operation of the MultiPASS and to protect it from overheating (which can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent and never block or cover any openings on the unit by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the unit in a cupboard or built-in installation, or near a radiator or other heat source unless proper ventilation is provided. Install the unit approximately 10 cm away from walls and other equipment. For the dimensions of the MultiPASS, 1 p. A-2.

• 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 odours, noises) around the MultiPASS, unplug the unit immediately. Contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not place the unit where the cord will be walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.

■ Power Supply

• During electrical storms, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. (Please note that any documents stored in the unit’s memory will be deleted when you unplug the unit.)

• Whenever you unplug the MultiPASS, wait at least five seconds before you plug it in again.

Making Connections

Connecting the Telephone Line and an External Device

The MultiPASS has two jacks on the back for connection of the following:

• Telephone line

• Optional handset, telephone, answering machine, or data modem

If you only have one telephone line and plan to use the MultiPASS for receiving both faxes and voice calls, you will need to connect the optional handset, a telephone, or an answering machine to the unit.

Be sure to connect any external device before using your MultiPASS. Follow this procedure to connect the telephone line and an external device:

Connect the supplied telephone line to the L jack, then connect the other end of the line to the telephone jack on your wall.

Connect the line from the optional handset, telephone, answering machine, or data modem to the t jack.

Chapter 2 Setting Up 2-7

Setting Up

• If you have connected an external device to the MultiPASS, be sure to select the correct receive mode. (1 Chapter 8)

• To connect a telephone as well as an answering machine, connect the telephone to the answering machine, and then the answering machine to the MultiPASS.

• If you connect a modem to your MultiPASS and you use it extensively or others access your PC frequently through the modem, you may want a dedicated telephone line for your modem.

Users in the UK Only

To connect an external device to your MultiPASS, you may need to use the B.T. adaptor provided with your unit.

Follow this procedure to connect the B.T. adaptor:

Connect the line from the telephone, answering machine, or data modem to the B.T. adaptor. Then connect the B.T. adaptor to the t jack.

2-8 Setting Up Chapter 2

Connecting the MultiPASS to Your PC

To connect the MultiPASS to your PC, you will need to purchase a printer cable that matches the interface connector on your PC:

• A Centronics

-compatible parallel cable (IEEE 1284-compliant) no longer than 2 metres

-or-

• A USB cable no longer than 5 metres You can purchase either of these cables from your local authorised Canon dealer.

Follow this procedure to connect the appropriate cable:

• You only need to connect one of the above cables.

• If using a USB cable, make sure your PC is running Microsoft Windows

98/Me or

Windows

2000, preinstalled by a computer manufacturer on purchase. (The USB port

operation also needs to be assured by the manufacturer.)

■ Connecting a Parallel Cable

Connect the parallel cable to the MultiPASS and PC. Be sure to secure the cable connectors with the wire clips.

■ Connecting a USB Cable

Connect the USB cable to the MultiPASS and PC during software installation to ensure proper operation of the printer driver. (1

MultiPASS Suite User’s

Guide

)

Chapter 2 Setting Up 2-9

Setting Up

Connecting the Power Cord

Before connecting the power cord, 1 Power Supply, p. 1-6. Follow this procedure to connect the power cord:

The MultiPASS has no power switch, so its power is on as long as it is plugged in. Once connected, though, the unit still needs to warm up before you can use it. Wait until the LCD no longer displays PLEASE WAIT.

• The MultiPASS is equipped with a three-prong, grounding-type plug provided with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by breaking off the third prong or using a 3-to-2 adaptor.*

• Do not plug the MultiPASS into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner, electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can interfere with your MultiPASS’ ability to send and receive faxes.

Connect the supplied power cord to the power cord connector. Then connect the other end into a properly grounded 200–240 V AC three-prong outlet.*

*The shape of the plug and outlet vary depending on the country of purchase.

Installing the BJ Cartridge

Install the BJ cartridge as explained in this section. For additional information on BJ cartridges and tanks, and for instructions on replacing,

1 p. 12-7.

Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure optimum performance of your BJ cartridges and tanks:

• Store BJ cartridges and tanks at room temperature.

• Keep BJ cartridges in their sealed packaging until you are ready to use them.

• Once opened, use BJ tanks within six months and BJ cartridges within one year.

• Do not remove BJ cartridges and tanks from the MultiPASS unnecessarily, or the ink

in them may harden.

• Do not leave empty BJ tanks in a BJ cartridge. Remove them immediately when they run out of ink, and replace them with new ones. Do not leave a BJ cartridge with any of its BJ tanks missing as the ink in the BJ cartridge will dry and adversely affect print quality.

• When changing BJ cartridges, always store the unused BJ cartridge in the BJ cartridge container provided with your MultiPASS.

• Keep BJ cartridges and tanks out of children’s reach. If a child inadvertently ingests ink, consult a physician immediately.

• Do not touch the precision components on the BJ cartridge.

The ink in the BJ cartridges and tanks is difficult to clean up if spilled. Follow these precautions when handling:

• Carefully remove packaging from BJ cartridges and tanks.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or refill BJ cartridges or tanks.

• Do not shake or drop BJ cartridges or tanks, or tip the print head downwards.

DO NOT TOUCH THIS AREA.
