Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile 
Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk for the 
machine. See Chapter 14, “Appendix,” for specific 
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
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, 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 that often interferes with 
communications equipment and the sending and 
receiving of documents.
