Country-Specific FeaturesC
Connecting a Telephone
You can connect both the machine and a telephone to the same telephone line jack on the wall using a 
single telephone line cord.
Purchase a telephone licensed in Germany. For the telephone connection, you need a TAE connection 
box with NF-code. Connect the telephone to the F-code jack and the machine to the N-code jack of the 
connection box.
Connecting an Answering Machine
By connecting an answering machine to the same telephone line jack on the wall as the FAX, you can 
not only receive documents from another fax, but also receive voice calls.•If you use an answering machine which does not correspond to DIN44015, compatibility problems 
may occur with your machine.•Purchase an answering machine licensed in Germany.•To connect an answering machine with a telephone integrated, you need a TAE connection box with 
NF-code. Connect the answering machine to the F-code jack and the machine to the N-code jack of 
the connection box.•To connect an answering machine without a telephone integrated, use a connection box with 
NFN-code.
NOTE•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).•If you want to connect your machine through a PBX, read the information on p. 10-1.

of characters and symbols. ASCII defines 128 symbols using 7 binary bits and 1 parity bit.
Auto FAX/TEL switching
See FAX/TEL switching.
Automatic dialing
Dialing fax or telephone numbers by pressing one or three buttons. To use automatic dialing, you must 
register the numbers in the machine’s memory. See also One-Touch Speed Dialing, Coded Speed Dialing, 
and Group Dialing.
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) 
The device included in the machine that feeds the document being faxed, copied, or scanned into the 
machine.
Automatic image reduction
The machine can print the date, time, company name, and a fax number at the top of the faxes it receives. To 
prevent this information from crowding the faxed image on the page and possibly lengthening the fax, the 
machine automatically reduces the size of the image on the page.
Automatic redialing
When the receiving fax machine is busy or does not answer, or when an error occurs while sending, the 
machine waits a specified time and then automatically redials the number. If the receiving fax is still busy or 
does not answer, the machine waits the specified time and dials again. If the fax still does not go through, the 
machine prints an error TX report.

been replaced by the International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunications sector (ITU-T), a 
committee created to set international standards for telecommunications.
CNG
Calling Tone. This is a signal sent by fax machines to identify the call as an incoming document. When the 
receiving fax detects this signal, it automatically starts to receive the fax transmission. The majority of fax 
machines in use today can send and detect CNG signals.

receiving from another fax with ECM capability. ECM is most effective in areas where the telephone lines are 
in poor condition or there is frequent interference on the line. Do not use ECM if you need to send a 
document quickly and you are sure the other party can read your transmission without it (turning off ECM 
also turns off MMR).
Extension
A telephone connected to the machine that is used in place of the handset. You can use the extension 
telephone to activate incoming reception of documents manually.
FFAX/TEL switching 
This option allows you to set the machine to automatically detect whether a call is from a fax or telephone. If 
the call is from another fax, the transmission is automatically received. If the call is from a telephone, the 
machine rings to let you know, so you can pick up the handset. With this feature, one telephone line can be 
shared by both the telephone and the fax.
FINE
The resolution setting for documents with very small characters and lines.
GG3, Group 3 fax machine
Defined by CCITT/ITU-T. 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), 
and Modified Modified READ (MMR).
Grayscale

numbers together as a group. This means that you can press just one or a few buttons to enter numbers 
when sending the same document to many destinations.
