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 L6000. 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 typewriters, copiers, and machines of this sort generate noise which often interferes with communications equipment and the sending and receiving of documents.

CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be given to the telephone company. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

iii

IN CASE OF EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION

Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this User’s Manual, disconnect the equipment from the telephone line or 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 Authorized Service Facility locations can be obtained by calling the Canon Computer Systems Customer Care Center. (See page 1-2 for details.)

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.

WARNING

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed, and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.

To automatically enter this information into your MultiPASS L6000, follow the instructions in your Quick Start Guide.

USERS IN CANADA

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. Provide only a single-line to touch-tone or rotary telephone set terminated with a standard 4-pin modular phone plug. (Touch-tone is recommended if available in your area.)

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 “Camp On” signals is also permissible with your MultiPASS L6000. Key telephone systems are not recommended because they send nonstandard 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 service 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 electrical ground 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 devices does not exceed 5.

Safety Information

Laser Safety

The MultiPASS L6000 complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the MultiPASS L6000 does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Because radiation emitted inside the MultiPASS L6000 is completely confined within protective housings, and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

CDRH Regulations

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States.

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this User’s Manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This label is attached to the laser scanner unit inside the MultiPASS and is not in an area that you can access.

Important Safety Instructions

Read these safety instructions and refer to them later if you have any questions.

Introduction

Except as explained in this manual, do not attempt to service the

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-3

MultiPASS L6000 yourself. Opening and removing interior covers may expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to a Canon Authorized Service Facility (ASF). Call the Customer Care Center for details.

❍ Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the MultiPASS and

inside the front cover.

❍ Place the MultiPASS on a sturdy level surface. Do not place it on an

unstable cart, stand, or table. If the unit falls, it could be seriously damaged.

❍ Do not use the MultiPASS near water. If you spill liquid on or into

the unit, unplug it immediately and call the Customer Care Center. Slots and openings in the unit and on the back or bottom are provided

❍

for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the MultiPASS and to protect it from overheating, do not block or cover these openings. Do not block the openings by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the unit near a radiator, nor in a closet or built-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

❍ Operate the MultiPASS only from the type of power source indicated

on the unit’s label. If you are unsure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power company.

❍ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate

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

❍ Do not push metal objects of any kind into the slots or openings on

the cabinet. This could result in a risk of 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 that you cannot remove, unplug the unit immediately and call the Customer Care Center.

❍ Unplug this product from the wall outlet and call the Customer Care

Center if any of the following conditions exist:

The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

•

Liquid is spilled into the unit, or if the unit is exposed to rain

•

or water. Smoke, unusual noises, or odors come from the unit.

•

The unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

•

The unit does not operate normally when you have followed the

•

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions in the Quick Start Guide and this User’s Manual.

MultiPASS:

wrinkled or creased paper

•

curled or rolled paper

•

torn paper

•

carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper

•

coated paper

•

onion skin or thin paper

❍ Remove all staples, paper clips, and the like before feeding the

document.

❍ Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely

dry before feeding the document.

Introduction

❍ Make a photocopy of any document that will not feed into the

MultiPASS. You can then feed the copy.

❍ Do not feed documents with pages that are different sizes or of

different thicknesses.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-11

Loading the Document

You can load up to 20 letter or A4 size sheets and up to 10 legal size sheets at a time into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).

Feed the document.

The document is now ready for scanning. The MultiPASS automatically feeds the pages one by one from the bottom of the stack.

If you have problems feeding a multiple-page document, remove the document and re-stack it tapping the edges on a flat surface. If problems persist, feed one page at a time.

Wait until your document has been scanned completely before inserting a

new document.

❍ Gently insert the document facedown (letterhead first) into

the ADF until it stops.

Identifying Your Documents

When sending a document, the following information is printed out by the receiving fax: your fax number, your name, and the current date and time. This information is called your TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification) and appears at the top of the faxed document in small type.

In the United States, you are required by FCC regulations to include this

information every time you send a fax.

By identifying the documents you send, the receiving party will recognize your fax messages at a glance. The illustration below shows a sample document with the identifying information.
