This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is 
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2.  This device must accept any interference received, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifi  cations not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate 
the equipment.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits 
for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment 
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not 
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause 
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no 
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If 
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment OFF 
and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by 
one or more of the following measures:
•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•  Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit diff  erent from that 
to which the receiver is connected.
•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction 
with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits 
set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio 
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 
and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This 
equipment should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at 
least 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: 
hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in 
Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Do not make any changes

Users in the U.S.A.
Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk for the machine. See the 
e-Manual for specifi c dimensions and weight.
B. Order Information
1.  A single telephone line (touch-tone or rotary) should be used.
2.  Order an RJ11-C telephone wall jack (USOC), which should be  installed by the telephone company. If the RJ11-C wall jack is not 
present, telephone/facsimile operation is not possible.
3.  Order a normal business line from your telephone company’s  business representative. The line should be a regular voice grade 
line or an equivalent one. Use one line per unit.
DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line
-or-
IDDD (International Direct Distance Dial) line if you communicate 
overseas
NOTE
Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, 
i.e., 2,500 (touch-tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones. A 
dedicated extension off   a PBX (Private Branch eXchange) unit 
without “Call Waiting” can be used with your facsimile unit. Key 
telephone systems are not recommended because they send 
nonstandard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special 
codes, which may cause a facsimile error.
C. Power Requirements
The machine should be connected to a standard 120 volt AC, 
threewire 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 that often interferes with communications equipment 
and the sending and receiving of documents.
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 identi fi er in the format of US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, 
this number must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) 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 the RENs should not exceed fi  ve (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 identi fi er 
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).
An FCC compliant telephone line cable and modular plug is provided 
with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to 
the telephone network or premise wiring using a compatible modular 
jack that is Part 68 compliant.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the 
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subjected to state 
tariff  s.
In Case of Equipment Malfunction
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the 
procedures described in this guide or the e-Manual, disconnect the 
equipment from the telephone line cable and disconnect the power 
cord.
The telephone line cable should not be reconnected or the power 
switch turned ON 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-OK-CANON).
Rights of the Telephone Company
If this equipment (imageCLASS MF6180dw/MF6160dw) causes 
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 that may a ff ect 
the operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, 
the telephone company is required to give adequate prior notice to 
the user.
However, if advance notice is not possible, the telephone company

on the fi  rst page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and 
an identifi  cation of the business or other entity, or other individual 
sending the message and the telephone number of the sending 
machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone

Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk for the machine. See the 
e-Manual for speci fi c dimensions and weight.
B. Order Information
1. A single telephone line (touch-tone or rotary) should be used.
2.  Order a CA11A modular jack, 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 an equivalent one. Use one line per unit.
DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line
-or-
IDDD (International Direct Distance Dial) line if you communicate 
overseas
NOTE
Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, 
i.e., 2,500 (touch-tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones. A 
dedicated extension off   a PBX (Private Branch eXchange) unit 
without “Call Waiting” can be used with your facsimile unit. Key 
telephone systems are not recommended because they send 
nonstandard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special 
codes, which may cause a facsimile error.
