Making Connections
NOTE
•The use of the jacks may differ in certain countries. See Appendix C, “Country-Specific Features,” for details.•Be sure to connect any external device before using your machine.•Canon cannot guarantee that all answering machines will be compatible with your machine, due to varying 
specifications.
•If you have connected an external device to your machine, be sure to set the correct receive mode. 
(See Chapter 7, “Receiving Faxes.”)
•To connect an extension phone as well as an answering machine, connect the extension phone to the answering 
machine, and then the answering machine to your machine.
•If you connect a data modem to your machine and you use it extensively, or others access your PC frequently 
through the data modem, you may want a dedicated telephone line for your data modem.
Connecting the Machine to Your PC
Your machine has a USB port that allows you to connect it to a PC. To do this, you need to purchase a 
USB cable from your dealer.

manual.
NOTE

Connecting the Power Cord
CAUTION
Follow these guidelines when connecting your machine to a power source:
- The machine is intended for domestic use only and requires 200-240 V AC. Do not use it outside the country where it was purchased.
- Use only the power cord that came with the machine. Using a longer cord or extension cord can  cause the machine to malfunction.
- Unplug the machine only by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
- Do not plug the machine into an outlet shared with an appliance such as an air conditioner,  computer, electric typewriter, or copier. These devices generate electrical noise, which can interfere 
with the operation of the machine.
- Make sure nothing is laying on the power cord, and that the cord cannot be walked on or tripped 
over.
- Do not overload the electrical outlet. Make sure the total amperage used by all the machines plugged  into the outlet does not exceed the ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit breaker.
- Do not plug the machine into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Connect the optional handset to  .
Connect an extension phone or answering machine to  .
Connect the supplied telephone line to  .
Connect the other end of line to a wall telephone jack.
