PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CANON FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See Specifications (p. 103) for 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.

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.
iv
IN CASE OF EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION

Installing the BJ cartridge
The first time you set up the FAXPHONE, you have to install the BX-3 BJ FAX
cartridge before you can begin receiving and copying documents.
BJ cartridge guidelines _________________________
Use only the Canon BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge with the FAXPHONE B640.
The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print density of a
page. If the majority of your printed output is graphics, you may need to change the ink
cartridge more often than when you are receiving or copying text only.
You may need to replace the BJ cartridge when either of the following conditions
exist:
❚ Your printed output is not crisp and clear, and there are gaps in the characters (miss-
ing dots) even after you have cleaned the print head once or twice and you have
removed and reinstalled the BJ cartridge.
❚ You have been using the BJ cartridge for over one year.
❚ To ensure optimum print quality, Canon recommends the use of the
cartridges designated by Canon. Canon accepts no liability or responsibility for damages caused by the use of any cartridge other than those
designated by Canon.
❚ Canon makes numerous ink cartridges; the BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge is
the only one designed to be used with the FAXPHONE B640.

Installing the BJ cartridge
Handling the BJ cartridge_______________________
• Leave the BJ cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to use it to prevent it from
drying out.
• Store BJ cartridges out of the reach of children; the ink contains isopropyl alcohol
67-63-0.
• Replace the BJ cartridge after one year of use or if the print is not clear or is missing,
even after trying five successive head cleanings.
• Never remove the BJ cartridge unless you are going to replace it. When left exposed, the cartridge print head dries out, making it unusable.
• Do not touch the print head area on the
BJ cartridge. Ink may leak out and cause
stains.
• Never shake the BJ cartridge, especially
after removing the protective tape from
the print head.

If spilled, the ink is very difficult to clean. Therefore, always follow the above precautions and carefully handle the BJ cartridge.

Setting up to receive faxes
Selecting the receiving mode___________________
Before you set up the receiving mode on your FAXPHONE, you should determine
how you plan to use your FAXPHONE:
❚ Are you able to dedicate the use of one telephone line to the FAXPHONE only to
receive document transmissions from other fax machines? If yes, choose Fax Only
Mode (see below).
❚ Do you want to use your FAXPHONE as both a telephone and fax, receiving docu-
ments automatically and ringing only for telephone calls? If yes, choose Fax/Tel
Mode (see below).
❚ Do you want to use your FAXPHONE mainly as a telephone, and answer every call
yourself, whether from a person or a fax unit? If yes, choose Manual Mode (see below).
❚ Do you want to connect an answering machine to your FAXPHONE and receive the
other party’s document and also record the other party’s message? If yes, choose
Ans. Machine mode (see below).
❚ Can you use the Distinctive Ring Pattern (DRP) service offered by your telephone
company allowing you to have separate numbers for telephone and fax using only
one phone line? If yes, use the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature
(see below).
How you answer these questions will determine which receiving method you choose.
If you are not satisfied with the mode you select, you can always change it at any time.
■Fax Only Mode (See p. 16)
You may want to use this mode if you have two phone lines in your office, and plan to
use one line for the FAXPHONE and the other line for your telephone.
Set the Fax Only Mode if you want to use your FAXPHONE only to receive faxes
automatically and do not intend to use it as a telephone.

■Fax/Tel Mode (See p. 17)
If you only have one phone line in your office, you may be planning to use it for both
fax and telephone communication. By setting this mode, you will be able to use your
FAXPHONE for both fax and telephone communication using only one phone line.
You will need to have an extension phone connected to the FAXPHONE so that when
it rings to alert you of a call, you can answer the call. The FAXPHONE will automatically receive faxes without ringing.
■Manual Mode (See p. 18)
Use Manual Mode if you receive more telephone calls than faxes. By having telephone
connected to your FAXPHONE, you can answer every call, whether from a person or
from another fax unit. If you hear a slow beep, simply press [START/COPY] on your
FAXPHONE and hang up the phone to receive the fax.
■Ans. Machine Mode (See p. 19)
Use Ans. Machine Mode if you have an answering machine connected to the
FAXPHONE. This mode allows you to receive not only documents sent from other fax
machines, but also messages from people calling when you are out.

Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature
(See p. 21)
Some companies offer a distinctive ring pattern (DRP) service that allows you to assign two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single telephone line. By subscribing to such a service, you can have both a fax number(s) and a
telephone number(s) for your FAXPHONE using only one phone line.
When a call is made, the FAXPHONE checks the incoming ring pattern and knows if
the call is from another fax unit or from a telephone.
