Servicing the MultiPASS
The Canon MultiPASS C545 is designed with the latest technology to provide 
trouble-free operation. The warranty card that comes with your MultiPASS 
describes Canon’s limited warranty. Be sure to read the warranty information to 
find out about the different service options available to you.
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 7, Troubleshooting. If you cannot solve the problem, 
contact the Canon Computer Systems Customer Care Center (see previous page 
for details). 
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 (see previous page for details).
Important Safety Instructions
Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your MultiPASS, and refer 
to them later if you have any questions.
❑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 MultiPASS.
❑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.
❑Do not use or store the unit outdoors. 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.

Introduction
❑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.) 
						

							1-12Introduction Chapter 1
❑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 ventilted 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.
❑Always lift the MultiPASS as shown below. Never lift it by its multi-purpose 
tray, document support, or document tray. 
						

							Chapter 1 Introduction1-13
Introduction
❑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.
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.
❑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.c
