PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CANON FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT

A. Location

Supply a suitable table, cabinet,or desk.See Appendix A for the unit’s dimensions and weight.

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 phone company. If the RJ11-C 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 equivalent. Use one line per unit.

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

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards [e.g., the

2500 (touch-tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones].A dedicated extension off a PBX unit without “Call Waiting”can be used with your MultiPASS C5500. 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 unit to an outlet or power line shared with other appliances that cause “electrical noise.”Air conditioners, electric typew riters, copiers, and machines of this sort generate noise which often interferes with communications equipment and the sending and receiving of documents.

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

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards [e.g., the 2500 (touch-tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones].A dedicated extension off a PBX unit without “Camp On” signals is also permissible with your MultiPASS C5500. 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 RJ11-C modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.

NOTICE

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s).The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

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. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of serv ice in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative 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 elect rical g round 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.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the de vices does not exceed 5.

BJ cartridges contain the Bubble Jet print head and ink, while BJ tanks contain ink only. Some BJ car tridges, like the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge, contain replaceable BJ tanks; when you run out of ink,you can replace the empty tank. Some BJ car tr idges, like the BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge, contain both the print head and ink; when you run out of ink, you replace the entire BJ cartridge.See Chapter 9, Maintaining the MultiPASS C5500, for details on replacing BJ car tridges and BJ tanks.

Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for

providing the best results for output on Bubble Jet products than any other organization. Canon does not prohibit the use of third-part y inks and the use of third-par ty inks does not invalidate the product’s limited warranty.However, Canon cannot guar antee the quality or performance of your MultiPASS C5500 when you are using inks from other suppliers.

Canon’s limited warranty does not cover damage caused to Canon’s Bubble Jet products that is attributable to the use of third party par ts or supplies, including inks. The limited warranty remains in effect for its life once that particular damage has been properly repaired.

For optimum printing results,Canon recommends that you use only Canon ink cartridges.

Chapter 2 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 2-1

Paper Handling

One of the most impor tant things you can do to assure the best possible printing performance of your MultiPASS is to select the correct paper. Your MultiPASS produces letter quality print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers;it does not require special ink jet papers.However, the print quality varies with different paper types. Be sure to test a type of paper before you purchase a large quantity.

Selecting Paper

Plain Paper

The MultiPASS supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation.You can use regular copier paper,cotton bond papers, and typical letterhead. Always use paper without curls, folds, staples, or damaged edges. Copier paper has a preferred side for printing. Look at the label on the package to see which side to print on.

Glossy Photo Paper

Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-201 is a high gloss, thicker paper that produces the look and feel of a photograph. Use this paper with the BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge to produce photo-realistic prints from your printer.(Select Glossy Paper in the printer driver when you have this paper loaded.)

Banner Paper

This paper is specifically designed for printing one continuous sheet in a banner format. The connected sheets are divided by a perforation.You can print from two to six sheets at one time.Canon’s Banner Paper is specially designed for use with Bubble Jet printers and to produce bright and vivid color images. (In your printer driver, select Plain Paper for Media and Letter Banner for Size when you load this paper.)

Brilliant White Paper

Canon’s unique paper formulation gives you a bright white printing surface that produces incredibly brilliant colors and dark,crisp black text.This paper works great for proposals, color presentations, color charts/graphs, flyers, and newsletters.You can print on both sides of the sheet. (In your printer driver, select Plain Paper for Media when you load this paper.)

2-2 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 Chapter 2

High Resolution Paper

The Canon High Resolution Paper HR-101 is designed to produce photo-realistic quality output with sharp and vivid graphics. For best results,use the optional BC-22e Photo BJ Car tridge to produce images comparable to your favor ite photographs.

T-Shirt Transfers

Use Canon’s popular T-Shirt Transfers TR-101 to create and personalize T-shirts,sweatshirts, aprons, tablecloths, napkins, tote bags, and anything else your imagination allows! Use on any cotton or cotton/poly blend fabric.Your image is pr inted in mirror image (when you use T-Shirt Transfer mode through the MultiPASS printer driver for Windows) so when you iron it onto the T-shirt, the image is viewed correc tly.

Greeting Cards

Get the most out of your Canon Creative or other card-making software with Canon Greeting Cards GC-101.These cards give your unique, personalized cards the look and feel of professional cards.You can create cards,invitations, announcements, and more.

Bubble Jet Paper (water resistant)

The Canon Bubble Jet Paper LC-301 has been developed for high quality printing with minimal or no smearing or running when in contact with water or damp surfaces,making it a good choice for damp or rainy environments.The paper is specially coated and printable on both sides. (Select Plain Paper in the printer driver when you load this paper.)

Printing

Fabric Sheets

Use Fabric Sheet FS-101 for Canon Bubble Je t products to print pillow covers,scarves, flags, and other textile items. Use these sheets for appliqués and other craft and sewing projects. Fabric sheets are

9.5 × 14 inches.

Back Print Film

Canon Back Print Film BF-102 has been specially developed for Canon Color Bubble Jet printers and MultiPASS products.The film is designed to deliver brilliant,high-intensity color images suitable for business presentations, design work, or professional reports. Back print film is printed on the back (nonglossy) side of the film in mirror image and then viewed from the front (glossy) side using a backlighting device. For more details, ask a Canon Author ized Dealer for information or refer to the manual supplied with the film.

Chapter 2 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 2-3

High Gloss Film

The Canon High Gloss Film HG-101 features a bright white finish that lends striking visual power to charts, graphs, and photographic images. Use this film to make your presentation materials and graphics look professional.

Transparencies

CF-102 Transparencies from Canon are recommended.These transparencies produce excellent contrast, sharpness, and color.

Assorted Paper Starter Kit

If you would like to try some of the papers described above,look for Canon’s Starter Kit (SK-102). It contains an assortment of five paper types.

Paper Guidelines

When selecting or loading paper, please remember the following: ❍ Attempting to pr int on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can

cause paper jams and poor print quality.

❍ Use cut-sheet paper only.You cannot use multipart paper. ❍ When using graph paper, the lines may not match because the

1/6-inch line spacing of the pr inter 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 pr int dense graphics, try pr inting on heavier stock.

❍ Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this

printer.Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the BJ cartridge.

2-4 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 Chapter 2

Make sure the

Canon MultiPASS

C5500 Printer is selected as your

default printer.

❍ Choose Print or Print Setup from the File menu.

❍ You will see a screen similar to this:

❍ Click on the Properties (or Setup) button if you want to

make any adjustments as appropriate for printing your document. (See Printer Setup Within Windows on the following page for details.)

parameters, select OK to start the print job.

2-6 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 Chapter 2

Installing a Printer Driver

Before you can use any type of printer with your computer,you must install a printer driver. The pr inter driver tells the computer what kind of a pr inter you are using. The printer driver also controls the various settings, such as print quality and paper type. You define these settings within the printer driver,and the printer driver then communicates the settings to both the computer and the printer.

You must install the MultiPASS Printer Driver for Windows and the MultiPASS Desktop Manager before you can use the MultiPASS C5500 as a printer for your computer. If you followed the instr uctions in your Quick Start Guide,you have already installed the necessary software. If not, see your Quick Start Guide for details on how to install this software.

Printing a Document

This procedure describes the general steps required for printing from various Windows applications.The exact steps for printing a document may vary depending on the application program (such as Microsoft Word) you are using. Refer to your software application’s documentation for the exact printing procedure.

2-12 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 Chapter 2

Printing Speed Versus Color

The MultiPASS Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full spectrum of colors,up to 16.7 million colors.When printing color, there is a significant increase in the amount of information that the driver has to interpret and translate.When printing black ink only, the driver has only one color to interpret.

By decreasing the amount of colors that the printer driver has to interpret, you can significantly decrease the time needed to translate the information. This will speed up the overall printing process.

You select the settings described below using the Windows tabs of the

MultiPASS Printer Driver. See Using the Windows Tabsstar ting on page 2-8 for details.

For Quick Color Printing

In the MultiPASS Printer Driver for Windows, choose the following printing operations. These selections allow the printer driver to interpret and translate 256 colors, which will increase your printing speed. However, your print quality will not be optimized.

❍ Media Type—Plain Paper ❍ Print Quality—Standard; Fine is off ❍ Color Model—Color ❍ Print Model—Custom ❍ Color Selection—Fast Color

For High Quality Color Printing

For the MultiPASS, select the printing options shown below to allow the printer driver to interpret and translate up to 16.7 million colors.Keep in mind that your print speed will be slower than with other setting combinations.

❍ Print Quality—High; Fine mode is on

Printing

❍ Color Model—Color ❍ Print Model—Automatic

Chapter 2 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 2-13

For Monochrome Printing

Use the optional BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge to optimize the printer’s performance when you are printing black text and graphics only.

In the printer driver, choose the following printing options to tell your MultiPASS to print using black ink only.

❍ Media Type—Plain Paper ❍ Print Quality—Standard ❍ Color Model—Monochrome ❍ Print Model—Automatic

Other Ways to Improve Print Speed in Windows

To improve printing speed,you can tr y the following:

Avoid diffusion halftones

In the Custom Settings dialog box, choose Diffusion for halftoning only when printing final output or photographic images. Choosing Fine allows documents to print as much as 20% faster because the computer does not need to compute to “best possible position”for each dot.

Avoid screen matched color

In the Custom Settings dialog box, avoid Match as the Color Adjustment setting. The screen matching feature takes longer to process in the computer because it requires special information.

Avoid automatic settings

Although the automatic settings are easy to use,the computer must interpret the printed page. This takes more time than if you select each setting.

Free up your memory

Use only one software program at a time and unload any screen saving utilities or programs stored in Windows background; this frees up more memory for Windows processing.

2-14 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 Chapter 2

Use Monochrome when possible

If you will be printing text in black ink only,choose a Color Selection of Black and White rather than Grayscale. Print draft documents in Monochrome rather than Color, or use Draft print quality when printing color.

Limit the number of colors on each page

The computer will need to calculate and transmit fewer dots per inch (dpi). Too many colors can make the image confusing and less effective as well as cause the print speed to slow down.

Use primary colors when printing presentation graphics

Use black,cyan, yellow,magenta, blue, green, and red when possible. The computer will need to calculate and transfer less dot information.

Use the Draft print quality

The printer will need to image fewer dots.

Use Plain Paper as the Media Type

The print head will make only one pass for each printed line.

Use smaller graphics and more white space in your documents

The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.

Add RAM to your computer

The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.

Use a computer with a faster processor

The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.

Auto Feed Guidelines

When automatically feeding stacks of paper,follow these guidelines: ❍ Do not leave paper stacked in the pr inter for long periods of time;

longer sheets of paper may become bent or curled over time. This may cause the paper to misfeed or jam.

Printing

❍ If your printed page contains lots of g raphics, the ink on the page

may be damp due to the print density. Remove the page right away and allow the ink to dry.

❍ The capacity of the paper output tr ay is 30 sheets of paper. To

reduce paper jams,remove paper from the output tray before the count reaches 30.

❍ If paper curls after printing, remove it immediately; otherw ise, paper

jams may occur.

Chapter 2 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 2-21

❍ The platen (a roller on the inside of the printer) may become inked

if you print data be yond the width of the page.If this happens, clean the platen with a soft cloth. (For details on cleaning the platen,see page 9-4.)

❍ Depending on the density of your printed pages, the ink may need

time to dry.Within two to three seconds,the ink becomes smudge resistant.After dry ing for several minutes, the ink becomes water resistant.

❍ Do not try to load paper into the sheet feeder beyond the paper

limit mark ( ) or the tab on the right side of the sheet feeder; stacking too much paper may cause paper feeding or printing problems.

Using Canon’s Specialty Papers

This section provides guidelines for printing on Canon’s Specialty Papers and describes special procedures required for High Resolution Paper, Fabric Sheets, and Banner Paper.

Specialty Paper Guidelines

Be sure to read any instructions that come with your Canon Specialty

Paper. These instructions provide important infor mation regarding how to achieve the highest print quality with these papers.

Follow these guidelines: ❍ When automatically feeding transparencies or back print film,

remove each sheet after it is delivered. Do not allow film sheets to stack up.

❍ Let the printed sheets of film or paper dr y completely before storing

them.

Paper type Drying time

Canon High Gloss Film HG-101 10 minutes Canon Glossy Photo Paper GP-201 10 minutes Canon Fabric Sheet FS-101 1 hour Canon Transparencies CF-102 15 minutes Canon Back Print Film BF-102 15 minutes

❍ When your output has dr ied completely,cover its printed side

with a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing it; this is recommended even if you place the sheets of film in a clear file or plastic holder.

2-28 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 Chapter 2

❍ When loading transparencies or back print film,insert one sheet of

plain paper as the last sheet in the stack.

❍ Do not leave the film in the sheet feeder for long periods of time.

Dust and dirt may accumulate on the film resulting in spotty printing.

❍ To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,use a pair of thin cloth

gloves while loading and handling the film.

❍ To avoid fading,do not expose the printed film to prolonged

sunlight.

❍ Store unused papers and films flat.Do not remove papers from their

protective packaging until you are ready to use them.

❍ Store unused film at temperatures between 59°F to 86°F (15°C to

30°C). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

Uncurling Back Print Film

If Back Print Film becomes curled, follow these steps to uncurl it:

Cover the

nonglossy side

of the film

with a sheet

of plain paper.

Printing

Roll the film

and paper up in

the direction

opposite the curl.

Chapter 2 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 2-29

❍ Do not roll the film too tight. ❍ The film and paper rolled together should be about one

inch (2.5 cm) in diameter.

Keep the film

rolled up for

about five

minutes.

❍ You may want to fasten the roll w ith a small piece of tape.

Canon’s High Resolution Paper HR-101

Using the Paper Output Guides

The output tray on your MultiPASS is equipped w ith paper output guides.When using the optional BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge or BC-29F Neon BJ Cartridge to print on Canon’s High Resolution Paper HR-101, lift the paper output guides on both sides of the output t ray.

These guides help support the document as it exits the MultiPASS. The guides keep the sheet from sagging as it exits and pulling through the unit, which can lead to poor print quality.

❍ Lift both paper output guides until they are vertical.Always lift both

output guides.

2-30 Printing With the MultiPASS C5500 Chapter 2

❍ When the output guides are raised,the output tray can hold a

maximum of 30 sheets.

❍ When you finish using the BC-22e Photo or BC-29F Neon

BJ Cartridge with High Resolution Paper, lower the output guides to their original position.

❍ Always lower the paper guides when using the MultiPASS as a

fax machine. The guides may cause paper to pile up and jam.

Using the Cleaning Sheet

Canon’s High Resolution Paper HR-101 is designed for hig h quality printing. This paper is specially coated to produce delicate color output.

After using a package of High Resolution Paper (200 sheets),you need to use the cleaning sheet enclosed with the paper to remove paper dust from the printer’s rollers; this will help prevent paper feed problems.

Printing On Banner Paper

Banner paper is a continuous sheet of paper with perfor ations at equal distances along its length where it can be cut to the length required.For best results,use Canon’s Banner Paper.

To set up a print job on banner paper,you must decide on the number of sheets you need. You can print banners from 2 to 6 sheets in length.

Always leave an extra sheet at the end of the banner—just in case the type runs over.

The shaded portions of the drawing below illustrate the maximum recommended printing area of banner paper.

Printing on banner paper requires quite a bit of ink. If you think your BJ cartridge may run out of ink,use a new BJ car tridge.

For best print results on banner paper, use light desig n patterns. To prevent ink from running over the edges of the sheet, print within

the margins shown in the previous illustration.

The status bar displays information about the selected document or folder,or a description of the currently selected menu or toolbar command.It also displays the current date and time. The information is for display only and cannot be edited.

Chapter 3 Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager 3-5

Using the Desktop Manager Folders

The Desktop Manager stores and organizes documents in folders.Only one folder can be open at a time.When you open another folder,the current folder automatically closes.

You can organize your documents in any manner you want,placing documents in folders, or folders within folders as may be desirable.

As previously mentioned, the organization of the folders list is much like Windows Explorer,which means you have great flexibility in determining how best to store your documents.

System-defined Folders

When you installed the Desktop Manager, a number of system-defined folders were automatically created—In Box, Sent Fax, Scan, Trash, and Cabinet (which contains the folders you create).You can tell which folder is open by the folder icon—it will look open or closed.

You cannot add new folders or documents to the system-defined folders. The system-defined folders are reserved for use by the Desktop Manager in the following ways:

❍ With the exception of the Tr ash folder,only the Desktop Manager

can place documents in system-defined folders,based on faxes sent or received,or images scanned. Generally,you can only rename, copy, move, or delete documents from these folders.

❍ The system-defined folders,including the Trash folder, cannot be

deleted or renamed.

❍ A document remains in a system-defined folder until you move it to

a user-defined folder, or delete it.

In Box Folder

The In Box folder is automatically open each time you star t the Desktop Manager (even if it is empty). It stores all incoming faxes that were sent to you by other fax machines,received by your MultiPASS,and then uploaded to your PC.

3-6 Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager Chapter 3

Each received fax is displayed using a system-assigned name (for example, Untitled 0001).You can change the name to something more descriptive by highlighting the document, and choosing the Rename command from the Edit menu,or by clicking the right mouse button and choosing Rename.In the Rename dialog box,ty pe the new name and click OK. Documents which have not been viewed in the In Box folder display in bold.

Scan Folder

The Scan folder stores all images you scan with the MultiPASS from the Desktop Manager. Each document displays with a system-assigned name, which you can change.

Sent Fax Folder

The Sent Fax folder contains all documents that have been successfully sent as PC faxes and that you requested not to be deleted after sending. Each sent fax displays with the name “Untitled”,which you can change.

Trash Folder

The Trash folder stores all the documents you remove from the folders list or work area.You move a document to the Trash folder by dragging it onto the Trash icon, or by highlighting the document and then using the Delete key (on your keyboard),the Delete command from the Edit menu (or by clicking the right mouse button), or the Delete toolbar icon.

Once you move a document to the Trash folder, it remains there until you choose the Empty Trash command from the File menu.The Empt y Trash command permanently removes all items in the Trash folder.

MultiPASS

Desktop Manager

User-defined Folders

You can create an unlimited number of folders for your own use in the file Cabinet; the Cabinet acts as your “root directory.”You cannot place documents directly into the file Cabinet; you must place them in folders within the file Cabinet.

Chapter 3 Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager 3-7

Creating a New Folder

1. Click the Cabinet icon, or the folder within which you want to store the new folder.

2. Choose the New Folder command from the File menu,or click the right mouse button and choose New Folder.

Sending Faxes With the MultiPASS C5500

You can use the MultiPASS C5500 to send paper faxes or PC faxes. PC faxing is the ability to send a fax from an application without first printing the document. Using the MultiPASS C5500 and the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, you can PC fax documents from any Windows application that supports printing.

You can also set up an Address Book,containing fax and e-mail information for people to whom you often send faxes,and design your own fax cover page.To assist you in managing your faxes,a Fax Log maintains a record of every fax you send or receive.

You can also customize your MultiPASS printer by changing the factory default user settings. This might include the date format that displays on your faxed documents,or how many times the MultiPASS calls another fax unit if the other par t y’s line is initially busy. You can also register one-touch/coded speed dial and group numbers using the Desktop Manager and then download them to the MultiPASS.For details on changing setup options, refer to Chapter 8,Setup and Other Utilities in the Desktop Manager.
