Preface
To ensure reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from overheating (which can cause it to 
operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent. Never block or cover any openings 
on the machine by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the machine in a 
cupboard or built-in installation, or near a radiator or other heat source unless proper ventilation is 
provided. Leave at least 4" (100 mm) around all sides of the machine.
Do not stack boxes or furniture around the power outlet. Keep the area free so you can reach the outlet 
quickly. If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange odors, noises) around the machine, unplug the 
power cord immediately. Contact Canon Customer Care Center.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not place the machine where the cord will be 
walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.
Power Supply
During electrical storms, turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. 
(Please note that any data stored in the memory, including received fax documents, will be deleted about 
60 minutes after you turn off the main power switch or unplug the power cord.)
Whenever you turn off the main power switch, wait at least five seconds before you turn it on again.
Do not plug the power cord into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

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. Only a single line, touch-tone or rotary telephone set is to be used.
2.  Order an RJ11-C modular jack (USOC code), which should be installed by\
 the telephone company. If 
the RJ11-C jack is not present, installation cannot occur.
3.

  Order a regular voice grade line or the equivalent from your telephone company’s business 
representative.
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 “Call Waiting” can be used 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. This machine is not supported on Voice 
Over Internet Protocol (VOIP).
C.  Power Requirements
This equipment should be connected to a standard 120-volt AC, three-wire 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 
which 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 identifier in the 
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular jack are provided with this equipment. This equipment is 
designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack 
which is Part 68 compliant. See the Starter Guide for details.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) 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 RENs should not exceed five (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 identifier 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).
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs.
In Case of Equipment Malfunction
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this guide, 
disconnect the equipment from the telephone line, unplug the network cable (if connected), and unplug the 
power cord. The telephone line should not be reconnected or the power cord plugged in 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 (1-800-828-4040).
Rights of the Telephone Company
Should the equipment cause 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 
which may affect the operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, the telephone company 
is required to give adequate prior notice to the user.
