MultiPASS Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to avoid damage to your MultiPASS and harm to you or 
others:
❑Place the MultiPASS on a stable surface. Do not use an angled stand. Avoid 
setting the unit in direct sunlight.
❑Do not install the MultiPASS near devices that contain magnets or generate 
magnetic fields, such as speakers.
❑Do not subject the MultiPASS to strong physical shock or vibration.
❑Make sure the area where you use the unit is free from dust.
❑Keep the MultiPASS clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the unit from 
operating properly.
❑To ensure proper electrical contact, make sure the unit is firmly plugged in.
❑Never pull on the cord to unplug the MultiPASS. Pull on the plug itself.
❑Do not overload the electrical outlet where the MultiPASS is plugged in.
❑For your safety, unplug the MultiPASS during electrical storms.
❑When the power cord is disconnected, the image memory is completely 
erased. Therefore, before you begin cleaning the MultiPASS, be sure to print 
any faxes stored in its memory (see pages page 4-20).
❑If you disconnect the MultiPASS while it is waiting to send a document, you 
will have to set the MultiPASS to send your document again once the unit is 
reconnected.
❑To avoid damage to the unit from overheating, do not block the exhaust vent. 
Install the unit approximately 4 inches (10 cm) away from walls or other 
equipment.

❑Always lift the MultiPASS as shown below. Never lift it by its multi-purpose 
tray, document support, or document tray.
Periodic Cleaning
Your MultiPASS requires little periodic maintenance. Follow these guidelines to 
keep your MultiPASS in good operating condition:
❑Before you clean the MultiPASS, be sure to print any faxes stored in memory.
❑Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they 
can stick to the components or generate static charges.
❑Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.
When the power cord is disconnected, the image memory is completely erased. 
Therefore, before you begin cleaning the MultiPASS, be sure to print any faxes 
stored in its memory (see page 4-20).
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other 
chemical cleaner to clean the exterior or interior of the MultiPASS, as they can 
damage its components.

Cleaning the Rollers
You will need to clean the unit’s rollers after using a package of High Resolution

feed problems. For details, refer to “Using the Cleaning Sheet” on page 2-18. Be sure to close the operation panel until it locks into place, or the unit will not 
function properly.

BJ Cartridges and BJ Tanks
Canon offers several BJ cartridges and BJ tanks for use in the MultiPASS. 
❑BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge (included with the
 MultiPASS)
Contains the print head unit and two replaceable 
BJ tanks, one color (cyan, magenta, yellow) and one
black. You can replace the BJ tanks without replacing
the print head unit when you run out of ink.
❑BC-20 Black BJ 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 BJ Tank (one extra tank included 
with the MultiPASS)
Replace the black BJ tank in the BC-21e Color BJ
Cartridge when the black ink runs out.
❑BCI-21 Color BJ Tank (sold separately)
Replace the color BJ tank in the BC-21e Color BJ
Cartridge when the color ink runs out.
We recommend using 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.

Maintenance
The most important thing you can do to extend the life of your MultiPASS and to 
ensure optimum print quality is to take care of the BJ cartridges.
❑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 BJ tanks in their sealed containers until you are ready 
to use them.
❑Do not remove the BJ tanks from the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge 
unnecessarily. This may cause the ink to clog.
❑Make sure both BJ tanks are installed in the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge. 
Attempting to use the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge with only one BJ 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 BJ 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. Spilled ink can stain any surface. Open BJ cartridges and BJ tanks carefully, and 
follow the guidelines here to protect against spilled ink.
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.
