(1)
  This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2)  this device must accept an interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.
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 into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.

time it is sent and an identification 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.

Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See p.
  14-2 for the machine’s weight and dimensions.
B.
  Order Information
1. Provide only a single-line to touch-tone or rotary telephone set terminated with a standard 4-pin 
modular phone plug. (Touch-tone is recommended if available in your area.)
2.

  Order an CA11A modular jack (USOC code), 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 r\
epresentative. The line 
should be a regular voice grade line or equivalent. Use one line per machine.
DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE
-or-
IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE OVERSEAS
Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, e.g., the 2500 (touch tone) or 500 
(rotary/pulse dial) telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX machine without “Camp On” signals is also 
permissible with the machine. Key telephone systems are not recommended because they send non-standard 
signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.
C.  Power Requirements
The power outlet should be a three-prong grounded receptacle (Single or Duplex). It should be 
independent from copiers, heaters, air conditioners or any electric equipment that is thermostatically 
controlled. The rated value is 120 volts and 15 amperes. The CA11A modular jack should be relatively 
close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.

Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the
Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the machine does not produce hazardous 
radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely confined within protective housings and external 
covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products 
manufactured from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation 
exposure.
The label is attached to the laser scanner machine inside the machine and is not in a user access area.
