Preface iv
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. 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.
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". Mr conditioners, electric typewriters, copiers, and machines of this
sort generate electrical 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.
Prcfacc V
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular jack is provided with this equipment. This
equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a
compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone
line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total
RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
IN CASE OF EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this
User'sManual, 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=14for details.)
Preface vi
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 this
manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop
operation of the equipment.
MultiPASS C530: Facsimile Transceiver, Model H 12159
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept an interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Preface vii
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class Bdigital 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 or more 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.
Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC
Rules. Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in
this manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop
operation of the equipment.
Preface viii
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, follow the instructions in your
Quick Start Guide.

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 without "Camp On"
signals is also permissible with your MultiPASS. 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.
NOTICE
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 RJll-C
modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets telecommunications networks 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.
Preface xi
CAUTION
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.
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil num0rique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du R_glement sur le mat0riel
brouilleur du Canada.
Preface xii
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.
The REN of this product is 0.3.

BCI-21 Color Ink Tank
BJ cartridges contain the Bubble Jet print head and ink, while ink tanks contain ink only. Some
BJ cartridges, like the BC-2 le Color BJ Cartridge, contain replaceable ink tanks; when you run
out of ink, you can replace the empty tank. Some BJ cartridges, 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 7, Maintenance, for details on replacing BJ cartridges and ink
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-party inks and the use of third-party inks does not invalidate the product's limited
warranty. However, Canon cannot guarantee the quality or performance of your MUltiPASS
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 parts 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.

Servicing the MultiPASS
The Canon MultiPASS is designed with the latest technology to provide trouble-flee
operation. The warranty card that comes with your MultiPASS describes CanoNs limited
warranty. Be sure to read the warranty information to find out about the different service
options available to you.
Save your sales receipt for proof of purchase. In the event that your printer needs service, you
will need your proof of purchase to obtain warranty service.
Be sure to fill out the Registration card and send it in. This will help Canon give you better
support service.
If you seem to have a problem, try to solve it by referring to the troubleshooting information
in Chapter 8, Troubleshooting. If you cannot solve the problem, contact the Canon Computer
Systems Customer Care Center.
If you feel your MultiPASS needs servicing, contact Canon on the World Wide Web to locate
the Canon Authorized Service Facility (ASF) nearest you. If you do not have access to the Web,
you can call Canon.

Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your MultiPASS, and refer to them later
if you have any questions.
CAUTION
Except as specifically described in this manual, 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. Refer all servicing to a Canon
Authorized Service Facility (ASF). Call the Canon Customer Care Center for details.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the MuItiPASS.
Place the MultiPASS on a level surface. To avoid serious damage from falling, never place
the unit on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
Do not use the MultiPASS near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come into
contact with the unit.
ii!_i_!i_!i!!i!!i!!i!ii!iil
Do not use or store the unit outdoors.
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), 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 closet or built-in installation, or near a radiator or other heat register
unless proper ventilation is provided.

Only operate the MultiPASS from the type of power source indicated on the unit's label.
If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power
company.
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 adapter.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate the unit where the
cord will be walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.
If you use an extension cord with the MultiPASS, make sure that the total of the ampere
ratings on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension
cord ampere rating. Also make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged
into the wall outlet does not exceed the current amperage of the circuit breaker.
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 call the Canon Customer
Care Center.
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, immediately unplug the unit and call the
Canon Customer Care Center.

Always unplug the MultiPASS before moving or cleaning it.
Whenever you unplug the MultiPASS, wait at least five seconds before you plug it
in again.
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.)
Do not install the MultiPASS near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic
fields, such as speakers.
Do not stack boxes or furniture around the power outlet. Keep the area open so you can
reach the outlet quickly. If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange odors, noises)
around the MultiPASS, unplug the unit immediately and call the Canon Customer Care
Center.
To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the printer cover, or remove
paper from the multi-purpose tray while printing.
Keep the MultiPASS away from direct sunlight, as this may damage the unit. If you have
to place it near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
Locate the MultiPASS in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place. Do not expose the
MultiPASS to extreme temperature fluctuations. Install the unit in a place with
temperatures in the 50°-90.5°F (10°-32.5°C) range.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-18
Always lift the MultiPASS as shown below. Do not lift it by its multi-purpose tray,
document support, or document tray.
ii!i_!i_!i!!i!!i!!i!ii!iil
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.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1- 19
CAUTION
If the unit does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in this
manual. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions in
this manual. 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 service.
ii!i_!i_!i!!i!!i!!i!ii!iil
ii!i_!i_!i!!i!!i!!i!ii!iil
Plug the MultiPASS into a standard 120 V AC power outlet. Do not attempt to use it
outside of the country where you purchased it.
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 sending and receiving faxes.
Check the plug frequently and make sure that it is firmly plugged into the socket.
This product emits low level magnetic flux.
If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from this product
and consult your doctor.

Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-3
This section describes the different print media you can use with your MultiPASS. To achieve
the best possible printing performance, be sure to select the correct print media.
Be sure to test print media before purchasing a large quantity. If you have any questions on
whether a particular medium is suitable for your MultiPASS, please contact your local Canon
dealer.
Plain Paper
The MultiPASS supports paper sizes of letter, legal, and A4 in portrait orientation. You can use
regular copier paper, cotton bond paper, and typical letterhead. Your unit does not require
special ink jet paper, and produces letter quality print on most plain bond paper, including
cotton bond and photocopy paper. 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.
The MultiPASS can print on U.S. Commercial No. 10 envelopes and European DL envelopes.
The following envelopes are not recommended because they may cause jams or smears, or may
damage your unit:
Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, and double flaps.
Envelopes made with special coated paper or deeply embossed paper.

You may be able to stack envelopes of other sizes in the multi-purpose tray. However, Canon
cannot guarantee consistent performance on envelope sizes other than U.S. Commercial
No. 10 or European DL.
61ossy Photo Paper
Canon Glossy Photo Paper is a high gloss, thick 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 MultiPASS.
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.
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.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-5
High Resolution Paper
Canon High Resolution Paper is designed to produce near-photographic quality print output
with sharp and vivid graphics. For best results, use Canon High Resolution Paper with the
optional BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge to produce images comparable to your favorite
photographs. When using this 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 unit's rollers.
T-Shirt Transfers
Use Canon's popular T-Shirt Transfers 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 printed in mirror image (when you select T-Shirt
Transfer for the Media Type in the MultiPASS printer driver) so when you iron it on the
T-shirt, the image is viewed correctly.
Greeting Cards
Get the most out of your Canon Creative or other card-making software with Canon Greeting
Cards. These cards give your unique, personalized cards the look and feel of professional cards.
You can create cards, invitations, announcements, and more. The cards come in regular size
and half-fold.
Bubble Jet Paper (water resistant)
Canon Bubble Jet Paper 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 environments. Images printed on this paper are bright and vivid and will not run if
liquid is spilled on them. This paper also stands up to normal office highlighters, unlike images
printed on other paper. The paper is specially coated and printable on both sides. Select Plain
Paper for the Media Type when using this paper.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-6
Fabric Sheets
Use the white cotton Fabric Sheet for Canon BJ color printers to print pillow covers, scarves,
flags, and other textile items. Use these sheets for appliquOs, cross stitch, and other craft and
sewing projects.
Transparencies
Canon Transparencies are recommended. These transparencies produce excellent contrast,
sharpness, and color to produce crisp and professional overhead presentations. Do not use
normal transparencies in the MultiPASS, as they do not absorb ink and may cause ink to run.
Back Print Film
Canon Back Print Film has been specially developed for Canon Color Bubble Jet printers and
MultiPASS products. The unique mylar-based translucent sheet is designed to deliver sharp,
brilliant, high-intensity color images suitable for business presentations, design work, or
professional reports. Back print film is printed on the back (non-glossy) side of the film in
mirror image and then viewed from the front (glossy) side using a backlit device, such as a
light box. For more details, ask your Canon dealer or refer to the manual supplied with the
film.
High Gloss Film
The Canon High Gloss Film features a bright white finish that lends striking visual power to
charts, graphs, and photographic images. It creates a sharper and more vivid color output than
is possible with coated paper. Use of this film gives your presentation materials and graphics a
professional look. This film provides the best color print quality for the BC-2 le Color BJ
Cartridge and is recommended when printing at 720 x 360 dpi.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-7
Assorted Paper Starter Kit
If you would like to try some of the papers described above, look for Canon's Starter Kit. It
contains an assortment of five paper types.
Canon Photo Kit
Canon's Photo Kit includes the BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge, the SB-21 Ink Cartridge Storage
Box, and 60 sheets of Canon High Resolution Paper.
Follow these guidelines when selecting or loading print media:
Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn print media can cause 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 l/6-inch (4 mm) line
spacing of the printer 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.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-8
Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this unit. Printing with paper
that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the BJ
cartridge.
Many media have a "right" side for printing. If you are using such a medium, make sure
you set it in the multi-purpose tray with the print side facing upward.
CAUTION
¸¸¸ ¸¸.....
Before loading paper or other print media in the multi-purpose tray, set the paper thickness

suit the paper's thickness.

You can stack paper in the multi-purpose tray to feed it automatically into the MultiPASS.
Certain environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity, can cause some
print media to feed incorrectly in the multi-purpose tray. If you have trouble with print media
becoming skewed or multiple sheets being fed, do not stack them in the multi-purpose tray,
but feed them one sheet at a time.
Guidelines
When automatically feeding a stack of paper in the multi-purpose tray, follow these guidelines:
To avoid paper jams and poor print quality, never try to print on damp, curled, wrinlded,
or torn paper.
Do not try to load paper into the multi-purpose tray beyond the paper limit mark (1_) or
beyond the tabs on the multi-purpose tray. Stacking too much paper may cause paper
feeding or printing problems.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-14
Make sure there are no gaps between the stack of paper and the paper guide or the right
side of the multi-purpose tray.
NO GAP HERE NO GAP HERE PAPER LIMIT MARK
Do not leave paper stacked in the multi-purpose tray 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.
Depending on the density of your printed pages, the ink may need time to dry. Within
two or three seconds, the ink becomes smudge resistant. After drying for several minutes,
the ink becomes water resistant.

If your printed page contains a large amount of graphics, the ink on the page may be
damp due to the print density. Leave the page in the output tray for 30 to 60 seconds to
allow the ink to dry. Then remove the page being careful not to touch the document tray
(if it is open). Should you dirty the document tray when removing the page, wipe it clean
with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent
solution.
The capacity of the paper output tray is 50 sheets of paper. To reduce paper jams, remove
paper from the output tray before the count reaches 50.
If paper curls after printing, remove it immediately; otherwise paper jams may occur.
The platen (a roller on the inside of the unit) may become inked if you print data beyond
the width of the page. If this happens, clean the platen with a soft cloth (see page 7-8).
Let the paper run out before you refill the multi-purpose tray. Avoid mixing "new" paper
with paper remaining in the tray.
Use cut-sheet paper only, not paper that comes on a roll.
Do not use paper that is thicker than specified for the MultiPASS. Printing with paper
that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the
BJ cartridge.
Store paper and other media on a flat surface, 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 64.4°-75.2°F (18°-24°C), 40%-60% relative humidity.

When loading transparencies or back print film, insert one sheet of plain paper as the last
sheet in the stack.
Do not leave film in the multi-purpose tray 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 film.
To avoid fading, do not expose printed film to prolonged sunlight.
Store unused papers and films fiat. Do not remove papers from their protective packaging
until you are ready to use them.
Store unused film at temperatures between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C). The relative
humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-28
Uncurling Back Print Film
Follow these steps to uncurl back print film:
1. Cover the nonglossy side of the film with a sheet of plain paper.
2. Roll the film and paper up in the direction opposite to the curl.
Do not roll the film too tight.
The film and paper rolled together should be about one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter.

Printing on High Resolution Paper
To load High Resolution Paper in the MultiPASS, follow the same procedure as for loading
paper in the multi-purpose tray. However, before printing, be sure to raise the paper output
guides, as described below.
Loading Paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray
After using a package of High Resolution Paper, be sure to perform the cleaning operation.
Using the Cleaning Sheet
Using the Paper Output Guides
When printing on High Resolution Paper or Banner Paper, use the guides on the paper output
tray to help support the printed sheet 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.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-30
1. Raise both paper output guides to a vertical position.
Always raise both paper output guides.
2. When you finish printing on High Resolution Paper or Banner Paper, lower the paper
output guides.
Always lower the paper output guides when using the MultiPASS as a fax machine; in the
raised position they can cause the faxes to pile up and jam.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-31
Using the Cleaning Sheet
Canon's High Resolution Paper is designed for high 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,
provided with the paper, to remove paper dust from the unit's rollers; this will help prevent
paper feed problems.
1. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set to the left D.

See the booklet that comes with the Fabric Sheet for details on drying and washing.
Chapter 2 Paper Handling 2-38
Printing on Banner Paper
Banner paper is a continuous sheet of paper with perforations 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. The
banner can be a maximum of five actual printed pages (for a total of six pages, including the
first sheet on which the banner cannot be printed).
Always leave an extra sheet at the end of the banner -- just in case the type runs over.
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 cartridge.
For best print results on banner paper, use light design patterns.
To prevent ink from running over the edges of the sheet, print within the margins.

including the first sheet on which the banner cannot be printed).
To prepare your MultiPASS printer for banner printing:
1. Make sure the paper rest is extended.
2. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set to the left.
3. Insert the banner paper into the printer. Make sure that you insert the first page so that
the fold between the first and second pages is facing up.

to appear.

Install on client system:
Windows 98 or Windows 95
Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT
When a document is printed by the client system on a shared MultiPASS, any printing
messages (status or error messages) display on the server system.
If you are using Windows NT for sharing your MultiPASS, it is recommended that Service
..............................Pack 4 or later is installed on your system. This ensures that the client systems can successfully
connect to your MultiPASS on the network.
Setting Up Your MultiPASS for Sharing
Before the client systems can install and use the MultiPASS printer driver, you must set up the
MultiPASS for sharing.
To set up the MultiPASS for sharing:
1. On the MultiPASS server system, on the Windows taskbar, click Start.
2. On the Start menu, point to Settings. Then click Printers.
3. In the Printers window, select the MultiPASS printer icon.

4. On the File menu, click Sharing.
5. In the Properties dialog box, on the Sharing tab, click Shared or Shared As.
6. In Share Name box, type a name you want to assign to the shared MultiPASS.
If available, you may also want to assign a password, which would then be required by the
client systems when using the MultiPASS.
7. Click OK.
If the Sharing command is not available (see Step 4 above), you need to set up printer
sharing in Windows. For details, see your Windows user documentation.
If you are using Windows NT and expect Windows 98195 client systems to use your shared
MultiPASS, you need to set up an alternate driver for Windows 98195.With this procedure,
you may need to have the following installation disks available: Windows NT, Windows
98195, and MultiPASS Desktop Manager.
To set up an alternate driver: On the Sharing tab, under Alternate Drivers, click Windows
95. Then click OK. Follow the on-screen instructions. For details, see your Windows NT
documentation.
Chapter 3 Printing 3-68
Installing the Printer Driver on a Client System
Once the MuItiPASS has been set up for sharing, the printer driver can be installed from the
MultiPASS server system to the appropriate client systems.
To install the printer driver on a client system:
1. On the client system, on the Windows taskbar, click Start.
2. On the Start menu, point to Settings. Then click Printers.
3. In the Printers window, double-click Add Printer.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Adjusting the Quality of Your Faxes
Canon's Ultra High Quality (UHQ TM) imaging technology enables you to send documents that are
very close to the quality of the original. The MultiPASS allows you to send a document in color or
black &white, and to adjust the resolution and contrast to best suit your particular document.
© Color /B&W
Setting Color or Black & White Transmission
Your MuItiPASS can send faxes in black & white. It can also send faxes in color to fax machines
with color capability. Before sending a document, you need to adjust whether the document will be
sent in color, or in black & white only.
Sending in black & white
Make sure the Color/B&W light is turned off. If not, press the Color/B&W button to turn it off.

Setting the Scanning Resolution
Resolution is a measure of the fineness or clarity of a printout and is usually expressed in
horizontal and vertical dots per inch (dpi). Low resolutions may cause text and graphics to have
a jagged appearance, while higher resolutions provide smoother curves and lines, crisp text and
graphics, and a better match to traditional typeface designs.
You can set the scanning resolution for the documents you send.
The higher the resolution, the higher the quality of output, but the slower the scanning speed.
Setting the resolution for black & white sending
1. Make sure the Color/B&W light is turned off.
If not, press the Color/B&W button to turn it off.

Chapter 5 Sending Faxes 5-6
Setting the Scanning Contrast
Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed
document. You can adjust the contrast the MultiPASS uses to send faxes. Adjust the contrast
according to how light or dark your document is.
You can set the scanning contrast from the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. If you are using the
Desktop Manager, see the online MuttiPASS Desktop Manager SoftwareGuide for details.
If you are not using the Desktop Manager, you can set the contrast using the operation panel. See
the online Stand-atone Fax Manual.
Dialing Methods
There are several ways of dialing the number of the party you want to send to:
Regular Dialing
Dial a fax number by using the numeric buttons, just like dialing a telephone number.
One-Touch Speed Dialing
Dial a fax number by pressing the one-touch speed dialing button (01 to 12) that the number
is assigned to. For details on registering and using one-touch speed dialing, see the online
MuttiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide. If you are using your MultiPASS as a standalone
fax, see the online Stand-alone Fax Manual.
Chapter 5 Sending Faxes 5-7
Coded Speed Dialing
Dial a fax number by pressing the Coded Dial button followed by the two-digit code (00 to 99)
that the number is assigned to. For details on registering and using coded speed dialing, see the
online MuttiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide. If you are using your MultiPASS as a
stand-alone fax, see the online Stand-alone Fax Manual.
Group Dialing
Send a document to a predefined group of fax numbers. (The numbers must already be
registered under one-touch speed dialing buttons or coded speed dialing codes.) For details on
creating groups and using group dialing, see the online MuttiPASS Desktop Manager Software
Guide. If you are using your MultiPASS as a stand-alone fax, see the online Stand-alone Fax
Manual.
PC Dialing
Dial a fax number from your computer using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. (See the online
MuttiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide for details.)
Chapter 5 Sending Faxes 5-8
This section describes the methods and advantages of the two main sending methods.
Memory sending
Allows you to send a document easily and quickly.
Manual sending
Allows you to talk to the other party before you send the document.
Memory Sendin9
Memory sending is a quick and easy way to send a document. The MultiPASS scans the document
into its memory, and as the first page of a multipage document is being scanned, the unit begins
calling the other party and transmitting the information even as the remaining pages are being
scanned.
Because the MultiPASS is multitasking, you can even scan a document into memory while sending
another document, receiving a document, or printing a report.
The MultiPASS C560 has enough memory to store up to 80 pages.* The MultiPASS C530 has
enough memory to store up to 42 pages.* Fewer pages can be stored if the document contains
many graphics or particularly dense text. (*Based on ITU-T/CCITT No. 1 Chart, standard mode.)
Be sure to adjust the document feed lever before loading your document.

Press the Redial/Pause button to dial the last number you dialed with the numeric buttons.
(This also starts redialing regardless of whether automatic redialing is enabled.)
Canceling Manual Redialing
To cancel manual redialing, press the Stop button.
Automatic Redialing
When you are using memory sending and the other party's line is busy, the unit waits a specified
time and then dials the same number again. You can set the MultiPASS to redial several times if the
previous attempts failed because the line was busy. This feature is called automatic redialing.
After the initial dial attempt, the default setting is to wait two minutes and try to dial again. If the
second attempt fails because the line was busy, the unit will again wait for two minutes and make a
final attempt to complete the call. (Even if the MultiPASS is set to redial several times, it will redial
only once if there is no tone or there is a ring back tone during the first attempt.)
You can turn automatic redialing off and on. Also, you can adjust the number of redialing attempts
and the time interval between attempts.
Chapter 5 Sending Faxes 5-19
You can set the Automatic Redialing features through the MultiPASS Desktop Manager or the
operation panel. If you are using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, see the online MuttiPASS

Sending a Document to More Than One Destination
Follow this procedure to scan a document once and send it to several destinations. With this
sending method, called sequential broadcasting, you can send the same document to a maximum
of 113 destinations.
This feature allows you to send a document to a number of destinations using a combination of
dialing methods as follows:
One-touch speed dialing: up to 12 destinations
Coded speed dialing: up to 100 destinations
Regular dialing (using the numeric buttons): one destination
Chapter 5 Sending Faxes 5-22
You can enter the one-touch speed dialing and coded speed dialing destinations in any order. You
can also include one destination which you dial using the numeric buttons. (Be sure to press Set
after you enter the destination with the numeric buttons.)
If you frequently send the same document to the same group of recipients, use group dialing. If
you are using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, group dialing is described in the online MuttiPASS

Chapter 6Receiving Faxes 6-1
The MultiPASS provides you with several modes for receiving faxes. You set the Receive Mode
during the MultiPASS installation procedure. (See your Quick Start Guide for details.) If you want
to change the Receive Mode, decide which mode will best suit your requirements by considering
how you want to use the MultiPASS.
Fax/Tel Mode
Use this mode if you will occasionally use the MultiPASS as a telephone. In this mode, if an
incoming call is from a fax machine, the MultiPASS receives the faxes automatically, without
ringing; if the call is from a person, the MultiPASS rings to alert you to pick up the telephone
(connected to your unit) to answer the call. This mode is economical, in that it allows you to
have phone and fax service without the expense of an additional phone line.
This mode also includes settings that let you control precisely how it handles incoming calls.
To adjust these settings from the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, see the online MuttiPASS
Desktop Manager Software Guide. To adjust these settings via the operation panel, refer to the
online Stand-alone Fax Manual.
MANUAL MODE
Use this mode if you will frequently use the MultiPASS as a telephone and want to answer
every call yourself, including fax calls. The MultiPASS rings for every call, whether phone or
fax, and you must press the Start/Scan button to begin receiving a fax.
Chapter 6 Receiving Faxes 6-2
FAX ONLY MODE
Use this mode if the MultiPASS will be connected to a separate telephone line used only for
faxing. The MultiPASS then answers all calls, and receives all faxes automatically.
ANS.MACHINE MODE
Use this mode if you plan to connect an answering machine to the MultiPASS to receive faxes
and phone messages. The MultiPASS then receives incoming faxes normally, and routes
incoming phone calls to the answering machine.
DRPD
Use this mode if you have subscribed to a Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) service
offered by some telephone companies. By subscribing to such a service, you can have several
fax and telephone numbers for your MultiPASS using only one telephone line.
Receiving Faxes to the MultiPASS Desktop Manager
The MultiPASS Desktop Manager allows you to receive faxes directly to your PC, where they
are stored as scanned images.
Once you have decided which mode you want, set the mode either through the Desktop Manager
(see the online MuttiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide) or through the operation panel (see
the online Stand-alone Fax Manual). You can change the mode at any time.
Chapter 6 Receiving Faxes 6-3
Receiving Both Faxes and Telephone Calls Automatically: Fax/Tel Mode
Set this mode if you want your MuItiPASS to automatically switch between voice and fax calls. For
this mode, you need to have a telephone connected to your unit.

In MANUAL MODE, if you connect a telephone to your unit, you can use the telephone to receive
normal telephone calls and also to activate your MultiPASS to start receiving a document. If you
place the extension phone away from the MultiPASS (on your desk, for example) and activate
receiving from this phone, this is called remote receiving:

When the MuItiPASS is set up for a dedicated line, set FAX ONLY MODE to automatically receive
documents whenever a call comes over the fax line.
Receiving With an Answering Machine: ANS.MACHINE MODE
Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS allows you to receive faxes and phone
messages while you are out of the office.
In ANS.MACHINE MODE, the MultiPASS allows the answering machine to answer incoming
calls, then listens for the fax tone and automatically receives the fax if it detects this tone.
Chapter 6Receiving Faxes 6-5
Using the MultiPASS With an Answering Machine
Follow these guidelines when using the MultiPASS with an answering machine.
Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine:
The entire message must be no more than 15 seconds long.
In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax. For example:
"Hello. I can't answer the phone right now, but please leave a message after the beep.
I'll return your call as soon as possible. If you would like to send a fax, press the start
button on your fax machine after you leave your message. Thank you."
Receiving Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection Feature: DRPD
Some telephone companies offer a Distinctive Ring Pattern (DRP) service whereby they assign two
or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single telephone line. If your phone
company offers such a service, you can have both a fax number(s) and a telephone number(s) for
your MultiPASS using only one telephone line.
Your MultiPASS will automatically monitor incoming calls and based on the distinctive ring
pattern, it will determine if the call is from a fax machine trying to send a document or from a
telephone trying to make a voice call.
Chapter 6 Receiving, Faxes 6-6
Use the information in this section to set up the MultiPASS for use with a DRP service. For more
details on the DRP service, contact your local telephone company. (Your telephone company may
have a different name for this service. Also, this service may not be offered in all areas.)
Types of Ring Patterns
Your telephone company will assign a distinctive ring pattern to each number when you order
the DRP service. The setting you make in the MultiPASS must match the setting assigned by the
telephone company.
You can set the MultiPASS for the following ring patterns:
NORMAL RING
Ring type of normal telephone line (recommended for voice calls)
DOUBLE RING
Two short rings at regular intervals (recommended for fax calls)
SHORT-SHORT-LONG (Triple ring)
Short-short-long at regular intervals
SHORT-LONG-SHORT (Triple ring)
Short-long-short at regular intervals
OTHER RING TYPE
Patterns other than those described above
FAX/TEL AUTO SW
Chapter 6 Receiving Faxes 6-7
How DRPD Responds to Calls
When there is an incoming call, the MultiPASS checks the incoming ring pattern and determines
the type of pattern being received. The MultiPASS may require up to 10 seconds to determine the
pattern type. During this time, any telephone device connected to the MultiPASS reacts according
to how you registered the setting.

Communicating Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature
Using the MuItiPASS with a DRP service is almost the same as using it with a normal telephone
line.
When you turn on DRPD, the receive mode defaults to DRPD.
When someone calls using the number assigned for telephone communication, the MuItiPASS
rings in the pattern you registered for telephone calls. When you hear this pattern, simply pick
up the telephone connected to the MultiPASS and talk. If you do not pick up the telephone, the
MultiPASS continues to ring until the other party hangs up.
When someone sends a fax using the number assigned for fax communication, the MultiPASS
does not ring. It receives the fax automatically.

Your MultiPASS has been factory-set to receive faxes in color from fax machines with color
capability. When receiving a fax, your MultiPASS detects if the incoming fax is a color or
black &white transaction, and prints the fax accordingly.
For automatic printing of received color faxes, you need to have the BC-2 le Color BJ Cartridge
installed in your unit. If you have one of the optional BJ cartridges installed, the MultiPASS will
receive the color fax in memory. Once received, the LCD display will alternate the following
messages:
REC'D IN MEMORY
INSTALL BC-21e
Replace the optional BJ cartridge with the BC-2 le Color BJ Cartridge (see page 7-23). The unit
then automatically prints the color fax stored in memory.
You can print the color fax with a BJ cartridge other than the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge.
Printing a Document in Memory
You can set the MultiPASS for color reception through the MultiPASS Desktop Manager (see the
online MuttiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide) or through the operation panel (see the
online Stand-alone Fax Manual).
Chapter 6Receiving Faxes 6-10
As the MultiPASS is a multitasking device, it can receive faxes and phone calls while you are
entering your user information, making copies, or printing.
If you receive a fax while you are making copies or printing, the MultiPASS stores the
incoming fax in memory. Then, as soon as you finish making copies or printing, the
MultiPASS automatically prints the fax. If you are entering registration information, the
fax is printed as soon as it is received, and does not go into memory.

Canon offers several BJ cartridges and ink tanks for use in the MultiPASS.
BC-2 le Color BI Cartridge (induded with the MultiPASS)
Contains the print head unit and two replaceable ink tanks, one
color (cyan, magenta, yellow) and one black. You can replace the
ink tanks without replacing the print head unit when you run out
of ink.
BC-20 Black BI Cartridge (sold separately)
Contains the print head unit and black ink only. Use this optional
cartridge when you will be printing with black ink only and for
fast, five pages per minute printing. When you run out of ink, you
replace the complete cartridge.
BCI-21 Black Ink Tank (one extra tank induded with the
MultiPASS)
Replace the black ink tank in the BC-2 le Color BJ Cartridge when
the black ink runs out.

BC-22ePhotoBICartridge(sold separately)
Contains the print head unit and color and black inks. Use this
optional BJ cartridge when you want to produce photo-realistic
color printing. When used with Canon's High Resolution Paper,
this BJ cartridge produces images comparable to photographs.
When you run out of ink, you replace the complete cartridge.
Because the BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge is designed to produce special printing effects, we do
not recommend using it for tasks other than printing from your PC. This cartridge is a single
unit, and using it for other tasks may use up the black ink faster, wasting its color ink. In
addition, correct color output cannot be guaranteed for the BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge for
tasks such as copying or printing of received faxes.
It's a good idea to use the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge or the optional BC-20 Black BJ Cartridge
for tasks such as printing received faxes, copying, and printing reports.
Chapter 7 Maintenance 7-1S
Maintenance
The most important thing you can do to extend the life of your MuItiPASS and to ensure
optimum print quality is to take care of the BJ cartridges.
CAUTION
Spilled ink can stain any surface. Open BJ cartridges and ink tanks carefully, and follow the
guidelines here to protect against spilled ink.
If you are using both the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge and any of the optional BJ cartridges, be
sure to store the BJ cartridge not being used in the Ink Cartridge Storage Box provided with
your MultiPASS.
Keep BJ cartridges and ink tanks in their sealed containers until you are ready to use them.
Do not remove the ink tanks from the BC-2 le Color BJ Cartridge unnecessarily. This may
cause the ink to clog.
Make sure both ink tanks are installed in the BC-2 le Color BJ Cartridge. Attempting to use
the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge with only one ink tank installed may cause the ink to clog.
If spilled, the ink is difficult to remove. Therefore, it's a good idea to keep the BJ cartridge and
ink tanks out of the reach of children.
Do not touch the print head area on the BJ cartridge. Ink may leak out and cause stains.
Chapter 7 Maintenance 7-16
CAUTION
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 BJ cartridge, or the silver metal or circuit area
on its side.

Using Ink
Canon has more engineers dedicated to creating quality ink for providing the best results for
output on Bubble Jet printers than any other organization. Canon does not prohibit the use of
third-party inks and the use of third-party inks does not invalidate the product's limited warranty.
However, Canon cannot guarantee the quality or performance of your unit 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 parts or supplies, including inks. The limited warranty
remains in effect for its life once that particular damage has been properly repaired.
Chapter 7 Maintenance 7-1 7
For optimum printing results, Canon recommends that you use the Canon BC-2 le Color BJ
Cartridge or the optional Canon BC-20 Black or BC-22e Photo BJ Cartridge with your

and Cleaning the BJ Cartridge Print Head
The print head in the BJ cartridge contains nozzles through which ink is propelled onto the paper.
To maintain the best possible print quality, these nozzles need to be cleaned from time to time.
Your MultiPASS is equipped with a print head cleaning function that does this.
Printing the Nozzle Check
Before cleaning the print head, you may want to print the nozzle check to test the BJ cartridge
installed in the MultiPASS. This test shows if each print head nozzle is operating properly.

When to Replace the BJ Cartridge
How frequently you need to replace your BJ cartridge or one of its ink tanks depends on how you
use your MultiPASS. If you print a good deal of graphics, halftones, or grayscales, you will need to
replace the BJ cartridge more often than if you print mainly text.

will give the output a jagged look. Changing the Print Mode should correct this problem
(see page 3-8).
Fonts do not print as smoothly rounded characters.
Bitmapped fonts designed for dot matrix printers do not print smoothly rounded characters
when used with high resolution printers like the MultiPASS.
Make sure you installed an outline font manager, such as Adobe ®Type Manager or
Bitstream®Facelift, or that you are choosing a TrueType ® font.
Certain MS fonts, such as MS Serif, will print jagged.
Choose another font.

Replace empty ink tanks as necessary (see page 7-33).
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting 8-28
Blue looks like purple.
Blue prints out as purple because of the difference in color technology used by the screen and
the MultiPASS; the screen uses RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color and the MultiPASS uses CMYK
(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) color. Due to the technology differences, when cyan and
magenta are mixed together, blue prints dark blue or purple compared to the screen.
Within the MultiPASS printer driver, select the appropriate Color Adjustment setting on the
Color tab (see page 3-14). If you are not using screen matching, decreasing the amount of
magenta by 30% produces a royal blue.
If you are just looking for a nice blue color, try cyan. It prints beautifully and fast, and is
available in almost all applications that support color.
Color images are missing some detail.
The print mode may be wrong.
Check your Print Mode setting on the Main tab of the printer driver (see page 3-8).
