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.

Important Information for Users in the United Kingdom

Approval Number 607676

Your Canon MultiPASS C50 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 telephone 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.

Preface v

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.

For your safety (Australia only)

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted
only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed
through the normal household wiring.

Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be
correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension
cords are a major cause of fatalities.

The power point shall be located near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that
the power point is earthed and the installation is completely safe. For
your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power
point, consult a qualified electrician.

Caution (New Zealand only)

1. This equipment may not necessarily provide for the effective hand­over of a call to or from a telephone connected to the same line.

2. The operation of this equipment on the same line as telephone or
other equipment with audible warning devices or automatic ring
detectors will give rise to bell tinkle or noise and may cause false
tripping of the ring detector. Should such problems occur, the user is
not to contact Telecom faults service.

3. Should this equipment become physically damaged, disconnect
immediately from the Telecom connection and power source and
contact your nearest service agent.

vi Preface

4. To relocate this equipment please.

l) Disconnect the equipment from the Telecom connection.

2) Disconnect the equipment from the power source.

3) Reconnect the equipment to the power source.

4) Reconnect the equipment to the Telecom connection.

5. If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced
by the special cord (Parts No.: HH2-1910).

6. Not all standard telephones will respond to incoming ringing when
connected to the extension socket.

1-2 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 Chapter 1

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the new Canon MultiPASS C50. We are sure
that your MultiPASS C50 will help you work more effectively and help
you meet your fax and phone requirements easily and conveniently, as
well as your printing, copying, and scanning needs.

Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 1-3

Introducing the

MultiPASS C50

The Main Features of the MultiPASS C50

The MultiPASS C50 is a complete multifunction system for your home
or small office. The MultiPASS C50 combines the following essential
office machines into a single, convenient desktop unit:

❏ Plain Paper Fax Machine ❏ Colour Printer
❏ Colour Copier ❏ Colour Scanner
❏ PC Fax ❏ Telephone*

Your MultiPASS C50 also includes the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for
Windows®, version 2.50. 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 C50’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 C50 (400 mm wide by 365 mm long
by 205 mm high) makes it ideal for desktop use, and lets you use it in
places where other machines might not fit.

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

1-4 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 Chapter 1

Plain Paper Fax Features

UHQ™Image Processing System

The MultiPASS C50 uses Canon’s Ultra-High Quality Image Processing
System to provide enhanced definition in faxed photos.

Error Correction Mode (ECM)

Using the MultiPASS C50’s Error Correction Mode 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 C50 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 C50 to let it
receive telephone messages and faxes while you are away from your
desk.

Transmission speed

The MultiPASS C50 uses G3 data encoding methods that increase
transmission speed to approximately 6 seconds* per page.

Memory sending/receiving

The MultiPASS C50 can store up to 42 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 C50 automatically scales received faxes to fit the size of
the paper loaded into the sheet feeder. So if your client is sending you a
fax on letter-size paper and you have A4-size paper in your sheet feeder,
the fax will be scaled down and printed on A4-size paper.

Automatic dialling and broadcasting

To make faxing even easier, the MultiPASS C50 provides several
automatic dialling methods: coded speed dialling, one-touch speed
dialling, and group dialling. The MultiPASS C50 also enables you to
broadcast faxes or send delayed faxes to as many as 57 locations at once.

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.

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

Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 1-5

Introducing the

MultiPASS C50

Colour Copier Features

Colour and black and white copying

The MultiPASS C50 can make full colour copies. It can also make up to
99 black and white (including halftones) copies of a document at a time,
at a rate of up to three copies per minute.

360-dpi resolution

The MultiPASS C50 copies documents using a high resolution of
360 dpi (when making single copies).

Copy reduction

The MultiPASS C50 can reduce copies to 70%, 80%, or 90% of their
original size. This allows you to copy legal-size documents onto A4-size
paper, for example.

Telephone Features

Automatic dialling

The MultiPASS C50’s three automatic dialling methods (one-touch
speed dialling, coded speed dialling, and group dialling) can be used to
store phone and fax numbers, for easy and efficient calling.

Connection for the optional handset, a telephone, or answering
machine

Connecting the optional handset or a telephone to the MultiPASS C50
lets you use it to make and receive normal telephone calls. In addition,
connecting an answering machine allows you to receive faxes and phone
messages while you are away from your desk.

Point-and-click dialling

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

1-6 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 Chapter 1

Colour Printer Features

Canon Bubble Jet (BJ) printing and ink cartridges

The MultiPASS C50 uses Canon’s Bubble Jet (BJ) printing and ink
cartridges to provide you with first-rate, crisp print and vibrant colours,
along with convenient, easy maintenance.

Excellent print quality and speed

The MultiPASS C50’s high-performance print head offers a precision of
up to 720 dots per inch (dpi) horizontally by 360 vertically, providing
you with high-resolution colour, text, and graphics, all at exceptional
speed — up to five pages per minute.

Impressive output on a variety of media

The MultiPASS C50 can provide sharp black or vibrant colour printing
on a wide variety of media, including A4, letter, and legal plain paper,
glossy paper, envelopes, transparencies, back print film (for display on a
backlit panel), and fabric sheets.

Convenient paper handling

The unit’s sheet feeder holds up to 100 sheets* of A4, letter, or legal
paper; 50 transparencies; 10 sheets of back print film; or 10 envelopes.

Economy ink-saving printing

The MultiPASS C50 includes an economy printing mode that uses up to
50% less ink, resulting in longer cartridge life.

Photo Quality Printing

Canon’s optional Photo Kit enables the MultiPASS C50 to use halftones
to print photos beautifully.

Introducing the

MultiPASS C50

Colour Scanner Features

Full colour and 256-level greyscale

The MultiPASS C50 Desktop Manager allows you to scan images in full
colour or with 256 levels of grey, rather than just in black and white,
ensuring that the images are reproduced as clearly as possible.

Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)

The MultiPASS C50 includes an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that
makes it easy to fax or scan up to 20 pages at a time when using
Windows applications that support the TWAIN scanning standard (see
below) and multi-page scans.

300-, 400-, or 600-dpi resolution

With the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, the MultiPASS C50 can scan
documents at 300 dpi, and electro-enhanced 400 and 600 dpi. In
addition, when using applications that support the TWAIN scanning
standard, such as Scan Gear 4.0 TWAIN, you can adjust the resolution in
1 dpi increments from 30 to 600 dpi.

TWAIN compatible

The MultiPASS C50 supports the TWAIN scanning standard, which
allows you to scan images using any graphics or optical character
recognition (OCR) application that also supports the TWAIN standard.

N

Colour scanning is not possible from the MultiPASS Desktop Manager,
but can be done through any application that supports the TWAIN
standard.

1-8 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 Chapter 1

Using the MultiPASS C50 With the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows

®

Canon’s MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows allows you to use
the MultiPASS C50’s printing, faxing, scanning, and telephone functions
directly from your PC:

❏ Use the MultiPASS C50 as the default printer for Windows

applications

❏ Send faxes from the MultiPASS C50 using any Windows application

that allows printing

❏ Scan documents into the MultiPASS Desktop Manager or any

Windows application that supports the TWAIN scanning standard

❏ Store an unlimited list of fax or phone numbers in a fax/telephone

address book on your PC

❏ View faxes on your PC’s monitor, as well as save, rotate, or print

them, or copy them to the PC’s clipboard

❏ Broadcast faxes from your PC to any number of destinations
❏ Attach custom cover sheets to each fax you send from the PC

The MultiPASS Desktop Manager package also includes a utility
program that helps you troubleshoot the interface between your

Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 1-9

Introducing the

MultiPASS C50

Supplies and Options

Your MultiPASS C50 uses Canon’s Bubble Jet (BJ) cartridges and ink
tanks, print media, and optional equipment, all designed to work with
your MultiPASS C50 to help you produce the finest output possible.
These supplies are available from your local authorised Canon dealer.

BJ Print Cartridges and Ink Tanks

The MultiPASS C50 uses Canon’s BJ (Bubble Jet) cartridges to provide
you with first-rate, crisp print and vibrant colours.

Canon’s BJ cartridges use advanced ink formulas that dry quickly, look
great on plain paper, are not easily affected by light, and resist
smudging extremely well. In addition, the print heads in the BJ
cartridges cap themselves automatically when not in use, thus saving
ink by keeping the print heads from drying out.

BJ print cartridges are also easy to maintain. If your BC-21/21e Colour
BJ Cartridge runs out of ink, just replace the empty ink tank (black or
colour). If the BX-20 Black Cartridge, BC-22/22e Photo Colour
Cartridge, or BC-29F Fluorescent BJ Cartridge runs out of ink, just
replace the entire cartridge.

N

To avoid printing problems, use only Canon BJ print cartridges and ink
tanks. Other cartridges can produce unsatisfactory results. In addition,
use only BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour ink tanks in the BC-21/21e
Colour BJ cartridge.

Special Print Media

You can use plain paper with the MultiPASS C50 for excellent colour,
and black and white printing, but Canon has also developed a wide
range of print media to extend your printing capabilities. See “Selecting
the Print Media” on page 2-37 for detailed descriptions of these media.

If you plan to use a print medium other than those made by Canon, be
sure to test it in your MultiPASS C50 before ordering it in bulk. If you
have any questions about whether a particular medium is suitable for
your MultiPASS C50, please contact your local authorised Canon dealer.

into the unit, unplug it immediately and call your local authorised
Canon dealer or help line.

❏ The back and bottom of the MultiPASS C50 include slots and

openings for ventilation. To keep the MultiPASS C50 from
overheating (which can cause it to operate abnormally and create a
fire risk), take care not to block or cover these openings. Do not
operate the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface, or
near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place the MultiPASS C50
in a cupboard or cabinet or on shelves unless adequate ventilation is
available. See “Choosing a Location for Your MultiPASS C50” on
page 2-3 for guidelines on how much space the unit needs for
ventilation.

❏ Operate the MultiPASS C50 only from the type of power source

indicated on the unit’s label. If you are not sure of the type of power
available from your wall outlets, contact your local power company.

❏ Make sure the total amperage used by all devices plugged into the

wall outlet does not exceed the ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit
breaker.

❏ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or place the

MultiPASS C50 where the cord will be walked on. Make sure the
cord is not knotted or kinked.

Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS C50 1-15

Introducing the

MultiPASS C50

❏ Do not insert objects of any kind into the slots or openings on the

MultiPASS C50’s cabinet, as they could touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts, and result in fire or electric shock.

Choosing a Location for Your MultiPASS C50

Before unpacking your MultiPASS C50, follow these guidelines to
choose the best location for it.

C

Please review the information provided in “Safety Instructions” on
page 1-14, to make sure you are installing your MultiPASS C50 for safe
use.

❏ Put the MultiPASS C50 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 10%
and 90%.

❏ Keep the MultiPASS C50 away from direct sunlight.
❏ If possible, put the MultiPASS C50 near an existing telephone outlet,

to avoid the expense of installing a new one.

❏ Place the unit near a standard 200–240 VAC power outlet.
❏ Place the MultiPASS C50 near the PC you will be connecting it to.

Make sure you can reach it easily, as you will be using it as a
printer, fax machine, copier, scanner, and telephone.

❏ Do not plug the MultiPASS C50 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 C50’s ability to send or receive faxes.

❏ Set the MultiPASS C50 on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is

strong enough to support its weight (about 5.6 kg).

❏ Make sure the location you choose provides enough space around

the MultiPASS C50 for adequate ventilation, and to allow paper to
flow freely into and out of the unit. The figure below shows the
minimum space required for the unit.

Connecting the Power Cord

C

Follow these guidelines when connecting your MultiPASS C50 to a
power source:

❑ The MultiPASS C50 is intended for domestic use only and requires

200–240 V AC. Do not use it outside the country where it was
purchased.

❑ Use only the power cord that came with the unit. Using a longer

cord or extension cord can cause the MultiPASS C50 to malfunction.

❑ Unplug the unit only by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the

cord.

❑ Do not plug the MultiPASS C50 into an outlet shared with an

appliance such as an air conditioner, computer, electric typewriter,
or copier. These devices generate electrical noise, which can
interfere with the MultiPASS C50’s operation.

❑ Make sure nothing is laying on the power cord, and that the cord

cannot be walked on or tripped over.

❑ Do not overload the electrical outlet. Make sure the total amperage

used by all the machines plugged into the outlet does not exceed the
ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit breaker.

❏ Make sure the operation panel of the MultiPASS C50 is properly

closed, and that there are no documents in this area.

Connect the power cord as follows:

1. Plug the supplied power cord into the power receptacle on the
MultiPASS C50.

Chapter 2 Setting Up Your MultiPASS C50 2-19

MultiPASS C50

2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the outlet.

N

The MultiPASS C50 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. Depending on the number of pages
accumulated in its memory, the MultiPASS C50 can take up to four
minutes to warm up.

❑ While the MultiPASS C50 is warming up, the message PLEASE

WAIT appears in the LCD display:

❑ When the time and receive mode appear, the MultiPASS C50 is

MultiPASS C50

Selecting and Installing a BJ Cartridge

Canon offers a number of Bubble Jet (BJ) cartridges to meet a wide
range of printing requirements. This section describes how to select the
best BJ cartridge for your needs, as well as how to install and maintain
the cartridge.

N

The MultiPASS C50 comes with one BX-20 Black BJ cartridge and one
BC-21 or BC-21e Colour BJ cartridge.

Guidelines for Using and Maintaining BJ Cartridges

The most important thing you can do to ensure the best possible print
quality, as well as extend the life of your MultiPASS C50, is to take care
of the MultiPASS C50’s BJ cartridges following these guidelines:

❏ Store cartridges at room temperature.
❏ Keep cartridges in their sealed containers until you are ready to use

them.

❏ Install the cartridge immediately after removing its print head cap

and protective tape.

❏ Always use the cartridge within one year of unpacking it.
❏ When changing cartridges, always store the unused cartridge in the

SB-21 BJ cartridge container that comes with the MultiPASS C50.

❏ Do not remove the cartridge from the MultiPASS C50 unless

necessary.

N

The ink in the BJ cartridges is difficult to clean up if spilled. To avoid
spilling ink, always be sure to follow these precautions when handling
the cartridges:

❏ Do not attempt to disassemble or refill the cartridge.
❏ Do not shake or drop the cartridge, or tip the print head

downwards.

❏ Keep BJ cartridges out of children’s reach.

2-28 Setting Up Your MultiPASS C50 Chapter 2

C

Hold the BJ cartridge by its sides only. Do not touch the print head, the
sharp edges around the print head, the silver plate on the bottom of the
cartridge, or the silver metal or circuit area on its side.

❏ Make sure the BJ cartridge holder is in its home position (on the

right side of the unit) when you are not using the MultiPASS C50. If
it is not in its home position, press the CARTRIDGE button.
Leaving it out of its home position will dry out the print head on the
cartridge.

❏ Clean the print head when print quality is no longer satisfactory. See

“Cleaning and Testing the BJ Cartridge Print Head” on page 9-9 for
instructions. If the print quality does not improve after five
consecutive cleanings, replace the ink tank or BJ cartridge.

❏ Do not use a BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge with either of its ink

tanks missing. Doing so can cause it to clog.

❏ Do not remove the ink tanks from the BC-21/21e Colour BJ

cartridge unnecessarily, or the ink in them may clog.

❏ Never attempt to refill an empty cartridge.

Choosing the Best Cartridge

Canon offers several BJ print cartridges and ink tanks for use in the
MultiPASS C50. (BJ print cartridges contain the BJ print head and ink,
while BJ ink tanks contain only ink.) Use the following descriptions to
decide which type of cartridge best suits your particular needs.

N

To avoid printing problems, use only the BX-20 or BC-21/21e BJ
cartridges for normal printing. The BC-22/22e Photo Colour BJ
Cartridge (sold separately) is for printing photo-realistic colour images.
Other cartridges can produce unsatisfactory results. In addition, use
only BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Colour ink tanks in the BC-21/21e Colour
BJ cartridge.

BX-20 Black BJ Cartridge

This cartridge incorporates a BJ print head and
black ink in a single unit. The BX-20 can be
used if most of your printing is black, e.g. for
receiving faxes, making copies, and
monochrome printing. It can print twice as fast
as a colour cartridge, and at higher resolution.

BC-21/21e Colour BJ Cartridge

The BC-21/21e incorporates a BJ print head and
two replaceable ink tanks (a BCI-21 Black and a
BCI-21 Colour). Use this cartridge when
printing in colour.

BCI-21 Black ink tank

Purchase this ink tank from your local Canon
dealer as the black ink runs out of the
BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge.

BCI-21 Colour ink tank

Purchase this ink tank from your local Canon
dealer as the colour ink runs out of the
BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge.

BC-22/22e Photo Colour BJ Cartridge

Includes the print head and colour ink in a
single unit. Use this cartridge for printing
photo-realistic colour images.

BC-29F Fluorescent BJ Cartridge

Includes the print head and colour ink in a
single unit. Use this cartridge for printing
bright, attractive fluorescent colours. For
optimum print quality, use High Resolution
Paper HR-101.

N

The MultiPASS C50 cannot print incoming faxes or make copies while
the BC-22/22e or BC-29F cartridge is installed. This is an ink-saving
feature: because the BC-22/22e and BC-29F are single units (and do not
have ink tanks that can be replaced separately), using them to print
faxes will use the black ink faster, using up the cartridges while they still
have a considerable amount of colour ink remaining.

Use the SB-21 to store an extra BJ cartridge in a
convenient location, while keeping it from
drying out.

ordering it in bulk. If you have any questions about whether a particular
medium is suitable for your MultiPASS C50, please contact your local
authorised Canon dealer. For complete paper specifications, see
“Printer” on page A-6.

N

Please note that not all print media mentioned here may be available in
your country. Contact your local authorised Canon dealer for more
information on product availability.

Plain Media

Plain paper

The MultiPASS C50 produces letter-quality print on most plain bond
paper, including cotton bond and photocopy paper. It can use A4, letter,
or legal sizes. The paper must be less than 0.2 mm thick, and have a
weight of 64–90 g/m

2

.

N

You can also use paper weighing 90–105 g/m2by manually feeding

2-38 Setting Up Your MultiPASS C50 Chapter 2

Canon Media

Canon provides the following media, all specifically developed to
extend the printing capability of your MultiPASS C50. For details or
purchase, contact your local authorised Canon dealer.

Canon Bubble Jet Paper LC-301 (water resistant)

This water-resistant paper is specially developed for colour printing
with Canon Colour BJ printers such as the MultiPASS C50. Images
printed on LC-301 paper are bright and vivid, and will not run if liquid
is spilled on them. Images printed on this paper stand up to normal
office highlighters, unlike images printed on other papers.

Canon High-Resolution Paper HR-101

This paper is designed to produce near-photographic quality print
output, with sharp, vivid graphics and photographs. You must use this
paper when printing with the BC-22/22e Photo Colour BJ Cartridge.
When using HR-101 paper, be sure to print on the whiter side of the
sheets, and after printing a pack of this paper, use the cleaning sheet
provided with it to clean the printer rollers.

Canon Transparencies CF-102

These overhead transparencies are specially designed for Canon BJ
colour printers. Use these clear transparencies to produce crisp and
professional overhead presentations. Do not use normal transparencies
in the MultiPASS C50, as they do not absorb ink and can cause the ink to
run.

Canon Back Print Film BF-102

This unique mylar-based translucent sheet allows you to print high­quality colour output — including photographs and graphics — that
you can view with a rear illumination device such as a light box. This
gives you sharp, bright, vivid images you can use in meetings, trade
shows, and other presentations.

N

If you are printing from an application outside Windows, your
application or printer driver must support mirror image printing in
order to use back print film.

Chapter 2 Setting Up Your MultiPASS C50 2-39

Setting Up Your

MultiPASS C50

Canon High-Gloss Film HG-101

This is a high-grade gloss film that lets you create sharper and more
vivid colour output than is possible with coated paper. This film
provides the best colour print quality for the BC-21/21e Colour BJ
cartridge. Use this film for trade show displays or other special

presentations, and when printing at 720 × 360 dpi resolution.

Fabric Sheets FS-101

These white cotton fabric sheets are specifically designed for Canon BJ
Colour printers, and enable you to print your own designs for cross
stitch, pillows, holiday stockings, and other craft projects.

T-Shirt Transfers TR-101

This special sheet allows you to print your own designs and transfer
them to any cotton or cotton/polyester blend t-shirt, sweatshirt, apron,
tote bag, or other fabric item.

N

Be sure to select Back Print Film Option when printing on the TR-101
T-Shirt Transfers. See the MultiPASS Desktop Manager User’s Guide for
instructions.

Loading the Print Media

Keep the following in mind when selecting or loading media for your
MultiPASS C50:

❏ You can stack plain paper, envelopes, and other media in the

MultiPASS C50’s sheet feeder. The maximum size of the stack
depends on the medium:

Medium Maximum stack size

Plain paper 100 sheets

(maximum 10 mm stack height)

Envelopes 10 envelopes

Transparencies 50 sheets

Back print film 10 sheets

❏ To avoid paper jams and poor print quality, never try to print on

damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper.

❏ Store paper and other media flat, and leave it in its wrapper until

you are ready to use it. Store unused paper from opened packs in
the original packing in a cool, dry location.

❏ Store paper at 18°–24°C, 40%–60% relative humidity.
❏ If you have trouble with sheets skewing, double-feeding, or

jamming when using coated paper, transparencies, or back print
film in the sheet feeder, use manual feeding instead. (These
problems are more common at cooler temperatures.)

❏ Let the paper run out before you refill the sheet feeder. Avoid

mixing “new” paper with paper remaining in the sheet feeder.

❏ Use cut-sheet paper only, not paper that comes on a roll (like fax

paper).

❏ When using graph paper, the lines may not match because the

4.23 mm line spacing of the MultiPASS C50 is slightly less than that
of graph paper.

❏ If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may

curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print
dense graphics, try printing on heavier stock.

❏ Do not use paper that is thicker than specified for the MultiPASS

C50. Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact
with the print head nozzles may damage the BJ cartridge. For
complete paper specifications, see “Printer” on page A-6.

Using the Paper Output Guides With the BC-22/22e and
BC-29F Cartridges

When printing with the BC-22/22e Photo Colour or BC-29F BJ
Fluorescent cartridge on HR-101 high-resolution paper, you should use
the guides on the MultiPASS C50’s paper output tray to help support
the document as it exits the unit. This will keep the sheet from sagging
and pulling through the unit as it exits, which can lead to poor print
quality.

1. Raise both paper output guides to a vertical position.

N

❏

Always raise both paper output guides.

❏ Always use the paper output guides when printing on HR-101 high

resolution paper, even when using the BX-20 or BC-21/21e
cartridges.

2. When you finish using the BC-22/22e or BC-29F cartridge, return
the paper output guides to their original position.

N

When the paper output guides are raised, the output tray can hold a
maximum of 20 sheets. Always lower the paper output guides when
using the MultiPASS C50 as a fax machine, or they can cause the faxes
to pile up and jam.

and the current date and time printed out by the receiving fax. This
information is called your Transmit Terminal Identification, or TTI, and
appears at the top of the received fax in small type.

*If you send a fax using speed dialling, the top line also includes the name

registered under the speed dialling button or code you entered.

You can enter this information in two ways:

Method 1: MultiPASS C50 Operation Panel

You can enter the user information directly into the MultiPASS C50
using the instructions on the following pages. This allows you to use the
MultiPASS C50 as a fax machine even if you do not have a PC connected
to it.

Method 2: MultiPASS Desktop Manager

You can also enter the user information using the MultiPASS Desktop
Manager. Entering information in this way will override any
information entered directly into the MultiPASS C50. See the MultiPASS
Desktop Manager User’s Guide for more information.

Guidelines for Entering Information

The following section explains how to enter user information into the
MultiPASS C50.

N

❏ If you pause while entering information and do not make an entry

for more than 60 seconds, the MultiPASS C50 returns to standby
mode and loses all information you had entered up to that point.
You will then have to start again.

❏ If the MultiPASS C50 rings while you are entering information, press

the (STOP) button and lift the optional handset or telephone: The
MultiPASS C50 will automatically save all the information you have
entered up to the last time you pressed the (START/COPY)
button.

• If you hear nothing or a slow beep, someone is trying to send a
fax: press the (START/COPY) button.

• If you hear a voice, you are receiving a normal telephone call.

• If your MultiPASS C50 is set to receive faxes automatically, you do
not have to press the (STOP) button, the MultiPASS C50 will
automatically receive the fax. See Chapter 5, “Receiving Faxes”.

The MultiPASS C50 Settings

To customise the MultiPASS C50 to your particular needs, you can adjust
general operation, sending, receiving, and speed dialling settings. There
are two methods of customising these settings:

Method 1: Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager

The MultiPASS Desktop Manager software included with your
MultiPASS C50 enables you to adjust settings for the MultiPASS C50
from your PC. For a list of the adjustable settings, see below, and for
detailed instructions on setting these options, refer to the MultiPASS
Desktop Manager User’s Guide.

Method 2: Using the MultiPASS C50 operation panel

Some of the settings that can be adjusted from the MultiPASS Desktop
Manager can also be adjusted directly from the MultiPASS C50 operation
panel. Adjusting these settings through the operation panel is convenient
when you do not have your MultiPASS C50 connected to a PC. Also,
certain settings can only be set from the operation panel.

N

We recommend that settings that can be adjusted from both the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager and the operation panel be set using the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager. Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager
enables you to customise more settings. In addition, changes made via
the MultiPASS Desktop Manager will override any corresponding
settings made directly from the operation panel, and changes made to
settings via the operation panel will not be displayed in the MultiPASS
Desktop Manager.

List of Settings

The following pages list the settings that can be adjusted from the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager as well as those adjustable directly from
the MultiPASS C50 operation panel. For details on adjusting settings via
the operation panel, refer to the page number indicated. For instructions
on adjusting settings using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, refer to the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager User’s Guide.
