As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Canon has determined that the Canon FAX-
L800 meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling, only the
performance of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation.
It is therefore strongly recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF signalling for access
to public or private emergency services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.

93/68/EEC.

Incoming
document Receiving in
memory Memory receiving when you run out of paper
If you run out of paper while you are receiving a document, the
fax unit continues to receive by putting the remainder of the
document in the fax memory so you can print it out after you
refill the paper cassette. A memory backup function also
safeguards the contents of the memory for approximately 12
hours after a power failure.
Automatic sending
Delayed sending
Scan a document into the memory and set for sending at a later
time so you can take advantage of holiday or late night
telephone rates.

Recording
documents

Dual access
Even while you are sending or receiving a document, you can
continue to use the fax to register information with the fax or
record documents into the memory.
Sending starts
immediately Quick-on-line TX
Before the fax is finished scanning a long document, it will start
dialling and sending the pages that are already scanned. By the
time the last page is scanned, the document transmission is well
under way.
Easy to use
A larger display and control panel with larger buttons makes the
fax easier to use.

Economical and quiet
Canon’s RAPID Fusing SystemTM realizes quiet operation while
you save money. If the fax machine remains idle for a specified
length of time, the fax machine automatically shuts itself down
and enters the low energy sleep mode, and will remain in this low
energy mode until the fax machine receives a document
transmission or until you press the ENERGY SAVER button.
70 Private
memory
boxes
Expanded transaction features
You can create up to 70 private memory boxes and set them up
to receive documents. If the other party’s fax can use ITU-T
subaddresses and passwords, you can set up and use memory
boxes even if the other party’s fax unit is not a Canon fax.
JBIG
JBIG, Improved image data compression
JBIG is a new ITU-T standard image data compression method.
JBIG’s compression method allows data to be compressed more
efficiently* than MMR, a convential compression method. JBIG
is especially effective when transmitting halftone image
documents. Because the smaller data size requires less
transmission time, JBIG saves you time and money.
* Actual compression ratio may vary with image.

General Guidelines for Registering Information
Always keep these points in mind while you are using the menus:
JIf you pause and do not press a button for 60 seconds, the fax returns to the
standby mode automatically. You must then start the procedure again from
the beginning.
JIf your fax is set to manual receiving and the fax rings while you are
registering information, pick up the handset. If you hear a slow beep tone, the
other party is trying to send you a document. Press STOP and press START/
SCAN to receive the document.
Using the Menus

information prints at the top of every document you send:
26/12 ’97 14:26 FAX 833 4423 WORLD ESTATE, INC. QADAM BOOKS, CPA P.001/002
December 28, 1995
Dear Member,
By now you have all had a chance to become familiar with your new
Canon fax units and are ready to set up a reliable, economical
communications network that offers many exciting features.
We can save money by scanning documents in the memory and then
setting the delayed timer to send all the documents at the same
time later at night to take advantage of late night rates.
Many of us are separated by long distances and reside in
different time zones. We can set up the polling feature to poll
and receive documents from each other when we are not in the
office. For sensitive material about clients and confidential
bids, we can set up and use the confidential mailbox features. We
will also be able to keep down costs by limiting use of the fax
to operators who know the correct department codes and passwords.
Relay sending is another money saver. We can designate one relay
fax in your area, send one transmission from the home office on
the East coast and then have the document relayed to you locally.
We hope you will have these features set up in the very near
future so we can enjory more efficient, secure, and ecomical
facsimile communications.

Setting Up and Using Speed Dialling
This chapter introduces some basic dialling features then shows you how to set
up the speed dialling buttons.
Speed dialling includes One-touch Speed Dialling, Coded Speed Dialling, and
Group Dialling. Directory dialling, also described in this chapter, allows you to
locate a number for dialling by searching names and numbers registered on the
fax for speed dialling.
After you set up your speed dialling buttons, we recommend that you
occasionally print a list of all telephone numbers registered in the fax and store it
for reference. (Q14-2)

Read This before Entering Telephone
Numbers
Read this section before you register numbers for speed dialling, especially if
your site has special dialling requirements like dialling through a PBX.
When you have to make calls to an outside line or an extension, you may have to
press R before you dial the outside line number or the extension number. Before
you can use the R button, you have to register it. (Q16-6)
Entering Pauses for Dialling
If your fax is connected to a switchboard or PBX (private branch exchange), you
may have to dial a number to connect to an outside line. The outside number
must also be registered with the fax number. The switching system may also
require that you insert a pause after the outside number. For further assistance,
contact your local authorized Canon dealer sales or service representative or
your local telephone company.
Follow this procedure to enter a pause during regular dialling or when registering
a number for a speed dialling button.

What is Speed Dialling?
Speed dialling allows you streamline and customize dialling procedures by
registering a telephone number and other important settings so you can start a
document transmission while pressing only a few buttons.
The three methods of speed dialling include:
One-touch Speed Dialling
One-touch Speed Dialling allows you to start a document transmission by
pressing only one button. You can register up to 72 destinations for One-touch
Speed Dialling. The first group of buttons numbered 01 to 32 are on the
operation panel. Open the first panel to see buttons 33 to 64, then the second
panel to see the last set of buttons 65 to 72.
Coded Speed Dialling
Coded Speed Dialling allows you to start a document transmission by pressing
the CODED DIAL button followed by a three-digit code of your choice. While
Coded Speed Dialling requires you to press more buttons, it allows you to
register up to 128 numbers.
Group Dialling
Group Dialling allows you to dial a group of registered One-touch or Coded
Speed Dialling fax numbers. By registering each group for One-touch (or Coded
Speed dialling) buttons, you press only one (or four buttons) to send the same
document to several locations.

page. Automatically adjusts the
quality of the image and text on
the same page. After you select
TEXT/PHOTO, FINE is
automatically selected for
RESOLUTION.
TEXT For documents that contain text
without photographs.
If you frequently need to send and receive documents that require accurate
reproduction of fine detail, you may want to change the default value for the
SUPER FINE setting. You can alternate the value for SUPER FINE between
two settings: Super Fine and Ultra Fine. The ULTRA FINE setting (16 dots/mm)
is eight times the STANDARD RESOLUTION and twice the SUPER FINE, but
you can switch to ultra fine by changing the 7. SCAN RESOLUTION setting of
the USER SETTINGS menu. (Q16-5)
If the other party does not have the ultra fine feature and you send a document
with TEXT/PHOTO set for the document type setting and ULTRA FINE set for
the resolution setting, the image the other party receives will reproduce at the
other party’s maximum resolution setting.
If you switch this setting to ULTRA FINE then every time you press the SUPER
FINE button, the fax will be enabled for scanning with the ULTRA FINE setting.

Overview of Sending Methods
This section briefly describes the methods and advantages of the three main
sending methods: memory sending, direct sending, and manual sending.
Memory Sending
With memory sending, document scanning and sending is fast, allowing you to get
your document back quickly so you do not have to spend so much time standing
around the fax. You can start scanning a document for sending even while the fax
is busy sending another document.

If you use One-touch or Coded Speed Dialling with the time out feature on, the
fax will pause 5 seconds before it starts scanning the document. (Q16-11)
3. To start scanning right away, press START/SCAN.
If you use One-touch or Coded Speed Dialling, wait for the fax to start
scanning automatically.
The timeout feature can be turned off. (Q16-11)
You can start sending a document while it is being scanned into the memory.
When scanning a multi-page document if the telephone line is free, the unit
will call the other party after the first page is scanned. Once the connection is
made, the fax unit will begin to transmit the information while the remaining
pages are being scanned. This feature is called Quick-on-line TX and can be
turned off and on. (Q16-10)
When the fax sends a document, messages report the following information
about the transmission.
Transaction number
TRANSMIT 0031
SCANNING DOC. P.001 Transaction Number
A transaction number is assigned to every document sent from your fax
starting with 0001 up to 4999. When the number 4999 is reached, numbering

automatic receive mode the fax will receive a document automatically.
In the manual receive mode, if you have installed the optional handset kit you
can answer the telephone by picking up the handset on the fax and pressing
START/SCAN to start receiving the fax. You can also start manual receiving
from an extension telephone with remote receiving.
In the last section of this chapter, we will show you how to put the fax unit in the

Receiving Documents Automatically
After you take your fax out of the box and set it up, it is set to receive documents
automatically. Use automatic receiving for a fax on a dedicated telephone line
that you do not need for telephone voice communication.
Setting the Automatic Receive Mode
MANUAL RX
Check the indicator above the MANUAL RX button. When this indicator is off,
the fax is in the automatic receive mode.
When a fax document is sent to you, your fax unit receives the document
automatically. During receiving a series of brief messages report the progress of
the reception by displaying the transaction number, name and telephone of the
caller, and the transmission mode.
If you install the handset and you don’t want the fax to ring when the other party
sends to you, turn the ringer volume switch to OFF.
Messages Displayed When Receiving a Document
This is a summary of the messages you will see displayed while your fax is
receiving a document. While you are receiving a document, information about

Here are few of the most common error messages.
The fax has run out of paper while printing or copying a document:
SUPPLY REC. PAPER
Open the paper cassette and add paper to the paper cassette. As soon as you re-
fill the paper cassette and close it, the remainder of the document in the memory
is printed. (Q2-22)
The toner cartridge has run out of toner while printing or copying a document:
REPLACE CARTRIDGE
Open the printer cover and replace the toner cartridge. As soon as you close the
cover, the fax returns to standby and the remainder of the document in the
memory starts printing automatically. (Q15-14)
If you see any other error messages, note the message then look it up in the error
message table. (Q15-26)
Turning on and Adjusting the Auto Switch Time
If you have installed the optional handset or connected an extension telephone to
the fax machine, follow this procedure to set the ring time before the fax switches
automatically to the document receive mode while in the manual receive mode.

Chapter 8
Using the Memory Features
This chapter shows you how to use the memory features of the fax unit.
Some operations require that a document reside in the memory before it is sent.
For example, if you scan a document and set the timer, it will wait in the memory
until it is time for the fax to send the document.
If you scan a document for polling sending, the document will wait in the
memory until it is requested for sending by a polling request from another fax.
While such documents are residing in memory, you can view their transaction
numbers, list them in a printout, delete them before they are sent, or re-route
them to another destination.

Setting Up and Using a Memory Box
In this section we will show you how to set up a memory box and use it to send
and receive documents. A memory box is a location in the memory you can
create to store scanned or received documents for printing or transmitting to
other destinations. The main advantage to using the memory box for sending and
receiving is that you can handle all transmissions with ITU-T passwords and
subaddresses.
The ITU-T subaddress and password serve the same purpose as the bank account
number and a personal identification number on your bank card. Just as you can
not complete a bank transaction without your account number and your personal
identification number, you can not complete a memory box facsimile transaction
if the subaddress and password do not match.
![](asset-9f.png)
Canon FAX-L800 User’s Guide ENGLISH
8-11Chapter 8 Using the Memory Features
A subaddress or password can be up to 20 digits long and consists of numbers, *,
#, or spaces.
Before You Create Memory Boxes
Before you set up a memory box, there are a few things you should know about
the other party’s fax machine to ensure efficient transactions.
You have to know how the other party is using the subaddress and password:
JIf the other party has set a subaddress and password, you must register both a
subaddress and password for the memory box.
JIf the other party has set a subaddress only, then you must also register a
matching subaddress.
JIf the other party has set a password only, inform them that they must register
a subaddress, or a subaddress and password. Both fax units must register an
ITU-T subaddress.
For the most efficient use of the memory box, register the numbers of all parties
who will be receiving your documents or sending you documents for a One-touch
or Coded Speed Dialling number.

This is a brief summary of what to do when you create or change settings for a
memory box.

Access Settings
SET BOX
A two-digit code (00-99) you assign to the box to select it when you need to scan
documents into the box or to open it to view or change the settings. The box
number and file name appear in printed reports for reference.
PASSWORD
If you created a password when you created the memory box (below
2.PASSWORD), you will have to enter the password to see the rest of the
settings.
Main Settings
1.FILE NAME
A personal name you can assign to the memory box to identify it in printed
reports.
2.PASSWORD
A four-digit password you assign to the memory box to protect the settings from
unauthorized access. You must also use this password and the box number to
print documents stored in the memory box. Assigning a password is optional, but
strongly recommended, especially if you want to keep the memory box setup and
the documents you receive confidential.
3.SUBADDRESS
This is the ITU-T subaddress.
4.TX PASSWORD
This is your TX password. TX password is only for polling sending. Your TX
password must match the ITU-T password with which the other party calls you. If
they do not match the other party will not receive your document.
5.RX PASSWORD
This is your RX password. Your RX password must match the ITU-T password
assigned to documents that you receive. If the passwords do not match, your fax
will not receive the document.

What Happens to Memory after a Power
Failure
If power to the fax is lost due to a power failure, or if the fax is accidentally
unplugged, a built-in battery keeps a trickle of current supplied to the memory so
all the documents currently stored in the memory can be saved for up to
approximately 12 hours.
How Your Registered Data Is Protected
This is what happens when the fax is disconnected:
JThe backup battery takes over and keeps a trickle of current flowing to the
memory in order to preserve all the documents in the memory waiting to be
sent or printed.
JHowever, if the fax is left off for longer than approximately 12 hours, all
documents in the fax memory will be lost after the battery runs down, and as
soon as power is restored to the fax a Memory Clear List is printed that
shows you what documents were erased. (Q14-15)
![](asset-ad.png)
Canon FAX-L800 User’s Guide ENGLISH
8-25Chapter 8 Using the Memory Features
JBecause your user data and speed dialling settings are constantly refreshed by
a lithium battery, they will not be lost as a result of a power failure, even if
power to the fax is cut off for longer than approximately 12 hours.
JWhen many documents are stored in the fax memory, the fax may need about
2 minutes to recover after power is restored to the fax.
About the Backup Battery
Here is a list of things to keep in mind about the backup battery.
JThe backup battery that preserves document data in the memory for up to 12
hours in case of a power loss is a rechargeable battery, and it requires about 1
day to reach full charge after power to the fax unit is restored.
JFrequently disconnecting the fax unit from the power source shortens the
service life of the battery.
JTo avoid shortening the backup battery service life, use the fax within a
temperature range of 10!C to 32.5!C. If the fax is used in an environment that
is too hot or too cold, this can shorten the service life of the backup battery.
JIf the backup battery can not preserve data even after you plug in the power
source and the fax is left on for 1 day (24 hours), call for service and have the
backup battery replaced.

9-2 Chapter 9Using a Relay Network
What is Relay Broadcasting?
In a relay broadcast, the originator fax unit sends a document over a long
distance to another fax called the relay unit. After the relay unit receives your
document, it automatically sends the document to several other fax units in the
local area. In this way you can send a document to several fax units in the same
locality with only one long distance transmission.
Originator
Relay Unit
In a relay network your fax unit can function as both an originator and a relay
unit. When your fax unit is the originator, it sends a document to a relay unit
from which the document is relayed to several destination in the same locality.
When your fax unit is the relay unit it receives a document from another party
and relays it to one or several other faxes in your own locality.
Setting Up and Using a Standard Relay Unit
In this section we will show you how to set up and manage a relay network with
the standard relay features provided on the fax.
Before you set up your fax to relay documents from the originator fax unit,
confirm the following points:
JMake sure your unit telephone number is correctly registered. (Q3-11)
JMake sure the telephone number of the originator fax unit is registered on
your fax for a speed dialling button. (Q14-2)
JAfter your fax receives the document from the orginator it will relay the
document to one or several destination units. Make sure the telephone
numbers of all the destination units are registered on your unit for speed
dialling buttons. (Q14-2)
![](asset-b1.png)
Canon FAX-L800 User’s Guide ENGLISH
9-3Chapter 9 Using a Relay Network
JAsk the originator if they would like to receive a report of successful
transmission after your fax relays the document.
JMake sure the relay feature on your fax is turned on.
Follow the procedures in this section to set up your fax as a relay unit. When
your fax is the relay unit, it receives the document from the originator and relays
it to several other destinations.

(Q3-11)
JEnter a subaddress.
![](asset-b7.png)
Canon FAX-L800 User’s Guide ENGLISH
9-9Chapter 9 Using a Relay Network
Before you send a document to another fax for relay broadcasting, contact the
other party and confirm the following points about their fax:
JThe relay unit must support ITU-T subaddress/password transactions.
JIf you want a relay transmission report sent back to your fax from the relay
unit, instruct the relay unit to turn this feature on when they set up the relay
function on their fax.
JMake sure the relay unit has registered the telephone numbers of all
destinations for the speed dialling buttons of the relay unit.
JMake sure you have the correct subaddress for the other party’s fax.
JConfirm that the subaddress you have been given has been used to set up the
other party’s fax as a relay station. Your fax can not confirm whether or not
the other party’s fax has been set up properly as a relay unit.
JIf an ITU-T password is set on the other party’s fax you must send the
document with a password. Otherwise, the other fax will not receive your
document.
After the relay fax is set up to participate in a relay network, it should receive
and relay documents automatically. By following the initial setup procedures in
the previous section, the relay fax unit can be set to confirm the identity of the
originator before sending and to send a relay transmission report to the
originator after your fax unit requests the other unit to relay a document.
When your fax unit is the originator of a relay transmission with this method, it
does not check to ensure that the fax to receive and relay the transmission is set
up properly for relay transmission. Even when the fax is not set up to relay your
documents, your fax unit reports such a transmission as a successful relay
transmission. Make sure the relay unit is set up correctly to relay documents that
it receives from your fax unit.
Sending a Document to a Relay Unit with Speed Dialling
You can register a telephone number for relay sending under a One-touch or
Coded Speed Dialling button.
Check these points before you send a document to another party for relay:
JContact the other party and ask for the ITU-T subaddress and password they
are using for receiving documents to relay.
JThe other party’s fax unit does not have to be a Canon fax unit, but make
sure the other party’s fax unit supports the use of ITU-T subaddresses and
passwords.

Receiving a Confidential Document
When the fax receives a confidential document with a subaddress or subaddress
and password that match the subaddress/password settings for your confidential
mailbox, the document is stored in the mailbox.
After the fax unit receives a document in a confidential mailbox, it displays a
message and prints a report.

Sending a Confidential Document
Sending a document with a subaddress and password does not ensure that the
document will be received as a confidential document. Before your fax sends a
document, it can not confirm that the other party has their fax set up for
confidential receiving.
You can use two methods to send a confidential document:
JIf you frequently use the confidential sending feature, you can register a
telephone number for confidential sending with One-touch or Coded Speed
Dialling registration.
JYou can also enter the ITU-T subaddress and password with
CONFIDENTIAL MAILBOX button.
Sending a Confidential Document with Speed Dialling
You can register a telephone number for confidential sending at the touch of a
One-touch Speed Dialling button or by pressing CODED DIAL followed by a
three-digit code.
Check these points before you send a confidential document to another party:
JContact the other party and ask for the ITU-T subaddress and password they
are using for receiving confidential documents.
JThe other party’s fax unit does not have to be a Canon fax unit, but make
sure the other party’s fax unit supports the use of ITU-T subaddresses and
passwords.
JPerform the procedure to register a telephone number for One-touch or
Coded Speed Dialling. (Q4-6, 4-14)
JIf the speed dialling buttons are already set up, perform the procedure to
change the One-touch or Coded Speed Dialling settings. (Q4-6, 4-14)
JWhen you do the speed dialling settings, turn on the OPTIONAL SETTING
feature and select TX TYPE. Select CONFIDENTIAL TX and then set the
ITU-T subaddress and password. (Q4-6, 4-14)
JConfirm that the other party has set up a confidential mailbox with the
subaddress you have been given. Your fax can not confirm whether or not the
subaddress has been used to set up a confidential mailbox.

11-2 Chapter 11Setting Up and Using Polling
What’s Polling?
Polling means a fax calls another fax and requests that the other fax send a
document that it is holding. Unlike normal sending and receiving, in polling the
receiver always calls the sender. This is called polling to receive a document. The
sender sends the document in response to the polling by a telephone call from
the receiver.
Your fax can be set up to function in both roles. Your fax can poll to receive a
document, or it can be polled to send a document that it is holding.
Before You Use Polling Receiving
Before you try to set up polling, note the following points:
JWith one operation you can poll several faxes. You can dial up to 210
telephone numbers and poll those faxes to receive documents that they are
holding.
JYou can poll a document at any time, but you may find it more useful to set
your fax for polling other faxes at specified times throughout the day. (Q11-5)
JYou must know if the other fax is holding the document under both a
subaddress and password or only a subaddress or password. You must also
know the subaddress and password so you can enter them on your fax. If you
do not know the subaddress or password, contact the other party.
JIf the other party’s document(s) are registered for polling without a
subaddress or password, you can still perform polling receiving.
JIf the other party’s fax does not support ITU-T subaddress/password
transactions, you can ask them to set the polling ID to 255 or 1111 1111
binary when the other party’s fax machine is a Canon fax.

subaddress must match the other party’s subaddress.
JIf the other document is holding the document under both a subaddress

subaddress and password.
Polling to Receive at a Preset Time
Follow this procedure to set the fax to poll another fax at a preset time. Polling
faxes at preset times allows you to conduct document transactions later at night
when the telephone rates are lower.
Before you set up polling at a preset time, make sure you have performed the
following tasks:
JThe numbers you want to register for dialling must be registered for One-
touch or Coded Speed Dialling buttons. (Q4-6, 4-14)
JWhen you register the One-touch or Coded Speed dialling button, you must
turn on OPTIONAL SETTINGS and set the TX TYPE for POLLING RX
when the other party set subaddress/password, you have to register an ITU-T
subaddress and/or password for the speed dialling button. (Q4-8, 4-16)
JIf you have to poll a number that you use regularly, you should register it
once again for another speed dialling button so you can set the ITU-T
subaddress and/or password to match the polling box of the other party’s fax
and register the second number for preset polling.

Setting Up Polling Sending
This section shows you how to set up your fax to store and hold a document until
it is polled by another fax to send it.
Before You Can Be Polled to Send
Before you set up your polling box, contact the parties who are going to poll your
fax to receive documents and confirm the following points:
JThe other parties must know your ITU-T subaddress number.
JIf you are also using an ITU-T password for the polling box, they must also
know this password. This password setting is optional.
JYour TX PASSWORD must match the ITU-T password attached when the
other party calls you. Confirm that the TX PASSWORD on your fax matches
the ITU-T password attached when the other party calls you.
JIf the other party’s fax does not support ITU-T subaddress/password
transactions, you may be able to use the polling box #00.
Setting Up a Polling Box
Before you can use polling sending, you must create a polling box with the File
settings. The polling box holds the document in the memory until the other party
polls your fax to send the document.

Using Memory Lock
Normally a document prints as soon as you receive it. However, there may be
occasions when you want the fax to store all documents in the memory until you
are ready to print them. Locking the fax to receive and store all documents in the
memory is called memory lock.
You may want to turn memory lock on when the fax is left unattended at night or
over long holidays to prevent a large volume of printed documents from
collecting on the paper output tray. After you return to the office, you can review
the contents of the memory and then enter the memory lock password to print all
the documents stored in the memory.
Setting a Time and Password for Memory Lock
After memory lock is turned on, the fax will automatically enter and leave the
memory lock mode at times you specify. The documents received when the fax is
in the memory lock mode are stored in the memory until you unlock the memory
with a password and print them.
Follow the procedure below to define a memory lock password and set the times
for the fax to enter and leave the memory lock mode.

Activity Reports
Activity reports contain information about past fax transactions. The Activity
Management Report prints a list of the past 40 transactions, and other activity
reports report information about transactions as they occur.
Here is a summary of some of the abbreviations used in activity reports.
ST. TIME Represents the time the last attempt was made to transmit a
document.
USAGE T Represents the amount of time it took during the last attempt to
transmit. Note that the usage time does not reflect the total usage
time used to transmit all pages of the document when a retry
occurs. By printing an ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT REPORT
and matching the transaction number of the TX REPORT with a
transaction number of in the ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT
REPORT you can know exactly how many attempts were made to
send the document, how many pages were sent in each attempt as
well as the usage time for each attempt.
PGS. SENT Represents the total number of pages that were successfully
transmitted.
RESULT OK means all pages were transmitted either during the first
attempt or after the first or second retry.
The default, which is two retries, can be changed. (Q6-16, 16-10)
NG means that either some or no pages were transmitted after
two retries. The default, which is two retries, can be changed.
(Q6-16, 16-10)

Dear Member,
By now you have all had a chance to become familiar with your new
Canon fax units and are ready to set up a reliable, economical
communications network that offers many exciting features.
We can save money by scanning documents in the memory and then
setting the delayed timer to send all the documents at the same
time later at night to take advantage of late night rates.
Many of us are separated by long distances and reside in
different time zones. We can set up the polling feature to poll
and receive documents from each other when we are not in the
office. For sensitive material about clients and confidential
bids, we can set up and use the confidential mailbox features. We
will also be able to keep down costs by limiting use of the fax
to operators who know the correct department codes and passwords.
Relay sending is another money saver. We can designate one relay
fax in your area, send one transmission from the home office on
the East coast and then have the document relayed to you locally.
We hope you will have these features set up in the very near
future so we can enjory more efficient, secure, and ecomical
facsimile communications.
.
This item appears only if the DAC (Department Access Code) has been set.

A
Activity report
Journal of transactions, both sent and received.
ADF
Stands for automatic document feeder. The ADF can hold 50 sheets of A4-size
paper. You load a document once, and the fax then feeds each sheet of the
document one by one.
Automatic dialling
Dialling fax or telephone numbers by pressing one or four buttons. To use
automatic dialling, you must register the numbers in the fax unit’s memory. See
also One-touch Speed Dialling, Coded Speed Dialling, and Group Dialling.
Automatic redialling
When the other fax is busy or does not answer, or when an error occurs when
sending, the fax waits 2 minutes and then automatically re-dials the same number.
If there is still no answer, it makes 1 more attempt after waiting for 2 minutes.
After the last unsuccessful attempt, the fax prints an activity report.
Automatic reduction of received image
At the top of the received document, the date, time, company name, and fax
number can be printed. Because this extra information at the top of the received
document requires additional space, the number of pages of the received
document may increase. Automatic reduction of the received image avoids this by
reducing the size of the printed image.
B
Batch sending
When several documents are scanned into the memory to be sent to the same
destination at a specified time, the documents are sent together in the same
transmission one after the other.
bps
Stands for bits per second.
Broadcasting
Transmitting a document to more than one location.

C
CCITT/ITU-T
Formally known as CCITT, Consultative Committee for International Telegraph
and Telephone. CCITT has been replaced by the International
Telecommunications Unit-Telecommunications Sector (ITU-T), a committee
created to set international standards for telecommunications.
Coded Speed Dialling
Allows you to automatically dial a facsimile number by pressing only four
buttons, CODED DIAL and a three-digit code. You can register up to 128
facsimile numbers for Coded Speed Dialling. When you register the facsimile
number, you can also enter the receiving party’s name, set the speed for the
transmission, and other useful features.
Confidential mailbox
Two-digit numbers between 00 and 99. If the number is a single digit, precede it
with a zero. The fax can have up to 70 confidential mailboxes for individual users.
Confidential mailbox password
Confidential mailbox passwords are four-digit decimal numbers between 0000 to
9999. To print a confidential document received in the memory, you must enter
your confidential mailbox password. Remember your password. You will need it
to print confidential documents received in the memory. Later if you want to
change your password, you must first enter the current password before you are
allowed to complete the procedure.
Confidential receiving
To receive a confidential document you must first create a mailbox and register
your confidential mailbox password. You use the password to print out
confidential documents that you receive in the memory. Confidential mailbox
passwords are four-digit decimal numbers between 0000 to 9999. When you
receive a confidential document in your mailbox, the fax prints a Confidential RX
Report.
Confidential sending
To use confidential sending, there are two ways. One is to first register the
procedure with a One-touch Speed Dialling button. After you register the
procedure, all you have to do is feed the document into the fax and press the
button. The other is to press CONFIDENTIAL MAILBOX button and dial.
D
Default
The fax is programmed in the factory with settings that we recommend. These
are known as factory default settings. You can customize your fax by
programming settings other than the factory default settings. For details, see
Chapter 16 of this User’s Guide.

Delayed transmission
With delayed transmission (also called timer sending), you can set a time for the
document to be sent. You do not have to be in the office when the document is
sent at the specified time. With delayed transmission you can send the same
document to more than one destination at a preset time. If you frequently send
the same document to several destinations, you can save time by using Group
Dialling.
Density control
You can darken or lighten documents that you send or receive with buttons at the
top of the operation panel.
Destination label
Attachable label used to label speed dialling buttons on the facsimile machine.
Write the name of the other party on the label and then paste the label above the
button where his or her fax number is registered.
Dialling methods
Dialling numbers at the press of one or a few buttons. To use automatic dialling,
you must register the fax numbers in the memory of the machine.
JRegular dialling
JOne-touch Speed Dialling
JCoded Speed Dialling
JGroup Dialling
JDirectory Dialling
Direct sending
Use direct sending if the memory is full but you still want to send a document.
Direct sending scans and sends one page at a time. The document is not scanned
into the memory, so it takes a little more time to get your original document
back.
Document
The single sheet or stack of papers containing the data you want to send through
or receive from a fax machine.
Document density
The document density settings alter the lightness or darkness of the documents
sent or received. See density control.
Document guides
Guide the document into the fax for scanning, copying, or sending.
Document memory list
The memory list shows what documents are currently stored in the fax memory.
Each memory list shows:
JTransaction number for each document
JHow each document was stored
JName and number the fax was sent to if they are registered for One-touch or
Coded Speed Dialling.
JNumber of pages in the document.
JDate and time each document was stored in the memory and when it will be
sent.
JSender’s name (TTI)
JErrors (if any) that occurred when sending the document.

G-4 Glossary
Document tray
Holds documents ejected from the fax unit after they have been scanned into
memory, copied, or sent by direct sending.
Dual access
Enables you to scan a transmission, even if the fax is copying, sending or
receiving a document. You do not have to wait until the fax finishes the current
send/receive transmission. While the facsimile sends a document from the
memory, you can load other documents into the memory, copy documents, print
out reports, or register information.
E
ECM
Stands for error correction mode. Reduces system and line errors when sending
or receiving from another fax with ECM capability. When there is noise on the
telephone line, a distortion or blank area can occur in the document received by
the other party. ECM divides one page into a number of blocks and checks for
lost data block by block. When some data is lost in a certain block, ECM repeats
transmission from the beginning of that block after confirming that all data within
the block can be transmitted successfully. In this way, ECM guarantees that a
good image can be received at the receiving end. ECM is very effective in
countries where the telephone lines are in poor condition. There may be
occasions when you want to turn ECM off. For instance, when you feel the
transaction speed is extremely slow, you can turn ECM off.
F
FINE
Use this setting for documents with very small characters and lines. It is twice the
STANDARD resolution.
G
G3
Group 3 fax machines defined by CCITT. Uses encoding schemes to transmit
image data while reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, thus
reducing transmission time. G3 fax machines can transmit one page in less than
one minute. Encoding schemes for G3 fax machines are Modified Huffman
(MH), Modified Read (MR), Modified Modified Read (MMR), and JBIG.

Group dial
Group Dialling allows you to dial up to 199 previously registered One-touch
Speed Dialling or Coded Speed Dialling numbers together as a group. This
means you only need to press a One-touch speed dial button or the CODED
DIAL button followed by a three-digit code to dial a large group of numbers
automatically. You register each group of facsimile numbers for a One-touch or
Coded Speed Dialling button, so make sure a button is available before trying to
register Group Dialling. Once a group is defined, you can add or delete numbers
to/from the group.
Group number
List of all facsimiles to receive a relayed document. These are two-digit codes
between 00-99. The group number is registered on the facsimile with the relay
feature.
I
IN USE lamp
Lights when the telephone line is in use.
J
Jack
The telephone line receptacles on your wall and on the side of your fax unit used
to connect your fax machine to the telephone line and handset or extension
phone.
L
Long distance dialling
When dialling or registering long-distance numbers, you sometimes have to insert
a pause either within or after the telephone number. The destination and length
of the pause differ depending on the system. Contact your local authorized
Canon dealer or your local telephone company for further information if you
experience problems with long distance dialling.
M
Manual receiving
Use this setting if you have installed the optional handset kit and there is only
one line connected to your office which you use for both phone and fax
communication, and you want to monitor all incoming calls yourself. When you
hear the ringer, pick up the handset and answer the phone. If you hear a slow
beep, this means someone is trying to send you a facsimile transmission. Press
START/SCAN and hang up the handset to start receiving the document. You can
not receive documents if there is another document fed into the fax.
![](asset-160.png)

G-6 Glossary
Manual redialling
When you use regular dialling, you can redial a number manually simply by
pressing REDIAL on the operation panel. The last number called is the number
re-dialled.
Manual sending
Use manual sending when you have installed the optional handset kit or
connected an extension phone and you have to talk to the other party before you
send the document. You may have to do this to send transmissions to older fax
units. Put the document in the fax and then dial the number. After the call
connects, if you hear a high-pitched tone, press START/SCAN to send the
facsimile and then hang up. If the other party or the other fax does not answer,
hang up the handset. If the other party answers, tell him that you are going to
send a facsimile transmission and that he should press start button on his own
machine. Press START/SCAN on your own fax, then hang up the handset.
Memory box
The memory box provides features that allow you to set up an ITU-T subaddress
and password and allows you to use advanced features such as confidential
sending and relay sending with fax units of any manufacture as long as they too
support ITU-T standard subaddress/password transactions.
Memory broadcast
Allows you to send one scanned document to a maximum of 210 destinations
with One-touch Dialling, Coded Speed Dialling, and regular dialling. Just dial the
numbers sequentially when you send a document. If you must do this frequently,
register the numbers for Group Dialling.
Memory file
A document stored in the memory is also called a memory file.
Memory list
See document memory list.
Memory lock
Usually a document is printed as soon as it is received, but the memory lock
feature forces all documents to be received in memory until you enter a password
to print them. This feature prevents printed documents from piling up on the
paper output tray when the office is unattended. After you return to the office,
you can print all documents stored in the memory.
Memory reception password
Protects all documents received and stored in the memory when the memory
reception feature is turned on. The memory reception password is a four-digit
number (0000-9999) that you should safeguard to prevent access to your
documents stored in the fax memory. This password unlocks the memory to print
all documents received with memory lock turned on. See memory lock.

G-7Glossary
Memory sending
Scanning the document into the memory before the facsimile dials the number
and sends it. Scanning is fast and you only have to wait until the original
document is scanned, not until it is sent. You can get the original back much
faster and spend less time standing around the fax.
Multitransaction
Also called, multiple transmission or sequential broadcast, this term refers to
scanning a document once and sending it to more than one location. You can
send a single document to a maximum of 210 destinations.
N
Noise
A general term applied to a number of problems that adversely affect the
operation of telephone lines used for modem and fax communication.
Normal mode
Using the fax with its default settings.
Numeric buttons
The numeric buttons are the round buttons on the operation panel marked the
same as a standard telephone keypad. Press to perform regular dialling. The
numeric buttons are also used to enter numbers and letters when registering
numbers and names.
O
One-touch Speed Dialling
Each One-touch Speed Dialling button holds a facsimile telephone number.
After the numbers are registered, all you have to do is press one button to dial.
Up to 72 numbers can be registered for One-touch Speed Dialling.
P
PAUSE
By pressing PAUSE, you can enter a pause between digits of a telephone number
when you register the number for One-touch or Coded Speed Dialling or during
regular dialling. A pause may be required for a connection to an outside line, or
some countries may require a pause for overseas fax transmission.
![](asset-162.png)
Canon FAX-L800 User’s Guide ENGLISH
G-8 Glossary
Pause time
When registering long-distance numbers, you sometimes have to insert a pause
either within or after the number. The destination of the pause and pause time
depend on the system. Pauses entered within a number are 2 seconds long, and a
pause at the end of a number is 10 seconds. A pause is inserted in a number or at
the end of a number by pressing the PAUSE button. The PAUSE button is
factory preset to enter a 2 second pause within a number, although this may
differ according to your location. Pauses entered after a number are always fixed
at 10 seconds. If you adjust the pause time, this only changes the length of the
pauses inserted within numbers and does not affect pauses entered at the end of
numbers.
PBX
Stands for private branch exchange. A PBX controls the flow of telephone traffic
through the institution itself, including automatic call back and dialling and
paging systems. See switchboard.
Polling transmission
Polling means one facsimile unit requests another to send a document. This is
useful when the sending party, the party with the original document, is not in the
office, but the document must be sent out. The receiving party dials the fax
holding the original and requests that it be sent. In other words, the receiver
always polls the sender. Before using the polling feature, you have to set up
polling boxes.
Printable area
The area of the document that can actually be reproduced and printed on the
recording paper by the receiving fax. The printing area is smaller than the paper.
Pulse
See rotary pulse.
R
Reduction mode
The fax unit’s automatic feature that slightly reduces the received image to allow
room at the top of the page for the sender’s ID information. You can also reduce
the size of large incoming documents using the RX REDUCTION option.
Registering
A process by which you place fax or telephone numbers and names in the fax
unit’s memory for automatic dialling so that you can save time dialling frequently
called destinations.
Regular dialling
Dialling a number with the numeric buttons. Use regular dialling to dial a
number that is not registered for any of the automatic dialling methods. Press
HOOK then use the numeric buttons to dial the number you want to call.

Reports
This is a list of reports printed by the facsimile:
JActivity Management Report (TX or RX) You can set the fax to print a
report every time you send or receive a document. You can also set the fax to
print part of the document on the report to remind you of the content of the
document. To turn printing these activity reports on and off, use the user
settings.
JActivity Report Provides a record of the last 40 sending and receiving
transactions. You can print out activity management reports manually
whenever you want to review the last 40 transactions, set the fax up to print
them automatically after every 40 transactions, print the report at the same
time every day, or print the report showing the sending transactions of
individuals or departments in your company, using department codes
registered on the fax, as well as a list of receptions.
JConfidential RX Report After you receive a confidential document in a
mailbox, the fax prints out a confidential message notice. No special settings
are required. Each notice shows the date and time you received the
confidential document, the name and telephone number of the party sending
the confidential document, whether the document was successfully received,
and other useful information.
JError TX Report If the fax fails to send a document because the other party
does not answer, even after automatic redialling, or if an error occurs, then
your fax will immediately print an error transmission report. The report
includes the facsimile number of the other party so you can try sending again
and can print part of the first page of the document so you can identify it.
JMemory Clear Report When documents are stored in the memory if power
to the fax is cut off for more than 12 hours, the documents stored in the
memory will be erased. After power is restored, a Memory Clear List will
print to show you what documents have been erased. If power is restored
within 12 hours, the documents are not erased and no report prints.
![](asset-164.png)
Canon FAX-L800 User’s Guide ENGLISH
G-10 Glossary
JMulti TX/RX Report When you send a document to more than one
destination, the fax prints a report to show you the name and numbers of the
other parties, whether the transactions were completed or not, and errors if
any. The fax automatically prints multi-transaction reports for sending
documents to more than one destination, delayed sending documents to more
than one destination, sending documents through a relay fax to more than
one destination, and sending confidential documents to more than one
destination if the mailboxes are the same on every fax unit.
JRelay Broadcast Report After sending a document through a relay fax, you
may receive a relay broadcast report from the fax machine that relayed the
document. This shows whether or not the document was successfully relayed
to all the final destinations. To receive a report, the other machine must be
set to print a relay broadcast report.
Resolution
The density of dots for an output device like a fax, scanner, or printer. Expressed
in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution causes font characters and
graphics to have a jagged appearance. Higher resolution means smoother curves
and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs. Resolution
values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for example, 600 x
600 dpi.
Restricted reception
The ability of the fax unit to restrict incoming documents. With this feature
turned on, the fax unit will receive documents only from speed dialling numbers
registered in your fax unit.
Rotary pulse
A rotary-pulse or pulse dial telephone is dialled by manually rotating a dial to
send pulses to the telephone switching system. When you pulse dial, you will hear
clicks. With tone dialling, you will hear tones.
RX password
The ITU-T password set on your fax to match the ITU-T password of all
incoming documents. If your RX password matches the ITU-T password of the
incoming transmission, the document is received. If the passwords do not match,
the document is not received. The maximum length of the password is 20 digits
and may consist of numbers, spaces, asterisk (*), and pound mark (#).
S
Scanning area
The scanning area is narrower than the original document size on the entire
border around the document. Documents you send should have some margin on
the sides and the top and bottom. Anything over this margin can not be scanned
for sending.

current setting. It is four times the STANDARD resolution.
Switchboard
Also called a PBX (private branch exchange) internal switching system. You have
to dial an outside line number along with the regular facsimile telephone number.
The outside line number must also be registered. Depending on the system, you
may also have to insert a pause after the outside line number. The pause button
is factory preset to enter a 2-second pause. However, you can change the pause
time to suit your PBX or telephone system. Before adjusting the pause time,
check with your local authorized Canon dealer or your local telephone company

Transfer
A special feature you can set up on the fax to have all documents received on the
main fax unit transferred to another fax unit. For example, you could have the
main fax unit in the office transfer all documents to your fax at home. You can set
the day and time for this feature to turn on and off. Please remember, however,
that documents received in a confidential mailbox or a memory box can not be
transferred. See transfer password.
Transfer password
Protects the transfer settings from unauthorized access. You must enter the
transfer password, a four-digit code (0000-9999), in order to view or change the
transfer settings.
Transmission time
A fax transmission consists of three stages: the pre-message handshake, the
message transmission, and the post- message handshake. The transmission time
described in this user’s guide is not the total time required for the entire
transmission. It is only the time for the message transmission. The transmission
time described in this user’s guide is the fastest time achieved when faxes
communicate in the same mode.
