Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile
Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See p. 13-1 for the machine’s weight and
dimensions.

B. Order Information
1. Only a single line, touch-tone or rotary telephone set is to be used.
2. Order an RJ11-C modular jack (USOC code), which should be installed by the
telephone company. If the RJ11-C jack is not present, installation cannot occur.
3. Order a regular voice grade line or the equivalent from your telephone company’s
business representative.
Use one line per machine.
DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE
-orIDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE
OVERSEAS
NOTE

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 machine without “Call Waiting”
can be used with the machine. 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. This machine is not supported on Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP).

C. Power Requirements
This equipment should be connected to a standard 120-volt AC, three-wire grounded
outlet only. Do not connect this machine to an outlet or power line shared with other
appliances that cause “electrical noise.” Air conditioners, electric typewriters, copiers, and
machines of this sort generate electrical noise which often interferes with communications
equipment and the sending and receiving of documents.

xxi

What Can I Do with This Machine?

Connection of the Equipment
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted
by the ACTA. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this
number must be provided to the telephone company.
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular jack are 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 the Starter
Guide for details.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices
that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all
areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the
local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that
has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN
without a decimal point (e.g., 10 is a REN of 1.0).
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs.

In Case of Equipment Malfunction
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described
in this guide, disconnect the equipment from the telephone line and 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 Canon Customer Care Center (1-800-828-4040).

xxiii

What Can I Do with This Machine?

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.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

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.

dimensions.

B. Order Information
1. Provide only a single-line to touch-tone or rotary telephone set terminated with a
standard 4-pin modular phone plug. (Touch-tone is recommended if available in your
area.)
2. Order an CA11A modular jack (USOC code), which should be installed by the
telephone company. If the CA11A jack is not present, installation cannot occur.
3. Order a normal business line from your telephone company’s business representative.
The line should be a regular voice grade line or equivalent. Use one line per machine.
DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE
-orIDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE
OVERSEAS
NOTE

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 machine without “Camp On”
signals is also permissible with the machine. Key telephone systems are not recommended because
they send non-standard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may
cause a fax error.

C. Power Requirements
The power outlet should be a three-prong grounded receptacle (Single or Duplex). It
should be independent from copiers, heaters, air conditioners or any electric equipment
that is thermostatically controlled. The rated value is 120 volts and 15 amperes. The
CA11A modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference- Causing Equipment
Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel
brouilleur du Canada.

What Can I Do with This Machine?

Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser
product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of
1968. This means that the machine does not produce hazardous radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely confined within protective
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during
any phase of user operation.

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

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

The label is attached to the laser scanner machine inside the machine and is not in a
user access area.

Before Using the Machine

The lifetime of the Canon genuine starter toner cartridge which comes with the
machine is approximately 1,000 pages, the Canon genuine replacement toner
cartridge is approximately 2,000 pages. The page counts are on the basis of “ISO/
IEC 19752”* when printing A4 size paper with the default print density setting. The
level of toner consumption varies depending on the type of documents printed. If
your average document contains a lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the
toner cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner. To purchase the Canon
genuine replacement toner cartridge, contact your local Canon dealer or Canon
Customer Care Center(U.S.A.:1-800-828-4040, Canada:1-800-652-2666).

Before Using the Machine

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
● Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks.
The magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items.
● Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in
temperature.
● Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five
minutes.
● Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are
ready to install the toner cartridge in the machine.
● Save the toner cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport
the toner cartridge at a later date.
● Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive
gases such as from aerosol sprays.
● Do not remove the toner cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
● Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may
deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
● Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective
shutter.
● Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner
becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by
shaking the toner cartridge.
CAUTION

Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.

1-9

Checking the toner level
You can check the amount of toner remaining in the toner cartridge by pressing the
[Toner Gauge] key. The toner level is displayed in the LCD at four levels.
If the toner gauge indicates that the toner is empty, it is recommended that the toner
cartridge be replaced. (See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge,” on p. 10-8.)

Recycling Used Cartridges
Canon has instituted a worldwide recycling program for cartridges
called “The Clean Earth Campaign.” This program preserves
precious natural resources by utilizing a variety of materials found in
the used cartridges that are of no further use, to remanufacture new
cartridges which, at the same time, keeps the environment cleaner
by reducing landfill waste. Complete details concerning this program
are enclosed in each PC Cartridge box.

The Clean Earth Campaign
● THE Canon CARTRIDGE RECYCLING PROGRAM
The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program fulfills the first initiative of Canon’s Clean
Earth Campaign, which supports four critical environmental areas:

The remaining “Clean Earth” initiatives are supported in the U.S. through sponsorships
of the National Park Foundation, the National Wildlife Federation, and The Nature
Conservancy and in Canada through donations to the World Wildlife Fund Canada and
The Nature Conservancy of Canada.

Maintenance

● Recycling in the Workplace
● Conserving Environmental Resources
● Scientific Research and Education
● Encouraging Outdoors Appreciation

Since its inception, The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program has collected millions of
cartridges that otherwise would have been discarded into landfills or similar facilities.
Instead, this rapidly growing program returns used cartridges to the manufacturing
process, thus conserving an array of resources.
Becoming a part of this worthwhile program is easy. When your cartridge is of no
further use, simply follow the instructions detailed for U.S. or Canadian residents.
We appreciate your support of The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program.
Working together we can make a significant contribution to a cleaner planet.
