NOTE
•Be sure to connect any external device before using your machine.•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, “Receiving Faxes.”)•To connect an extension phone as well as an answering machine, connect the extension phone to the answering machine, and then the 
answering machine to your machine. 
•If you connect a data modem to your machine and you use it extensively, or others access your PC frequently through the data modem, 
you may want a dedicated telephone line for your data modem.
Connecting the Machine to Your PC

dealer.
NOTE
For best results, use a cable that is 5 meters in length or shorter.
Connect the machine to your computer as follows:
1Make sure the computer is turned off and the machine is unplugged.

If you connect an answering machine to the machine, be sure to read your answering machine’s manual.
NOTE
You can also connect the extension phone to the jack marked    if you have not connected the handset.
Connecting the Power Cord
CAUTION
Follow these guidelines when connecting your machine to a power source:
- The machine is intended for domestic use only and requires 120 V AC. Do not use it outside the country where it was 
purchased.
- Use only the power cord that came with the machine. Using a longer cord or extension cord can cause the machine to 
malfunction.
- Unplug the machine only by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
- Do not plug the machine into an outlet shared with an appliance such as an air conditioner, computer, electric typewriter, 
or copier. These devices generate electrical noise, which can interfere with the operation of the machine.
- Make sure nothing is laying on the power cord, and that the cord cannot be walked on or tripped over.
- Do not overload the electrical outlet. Make sure the total amperage used by all the machines plugged into the outlet does 
not exceed the ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit breaker.
- Do not plug the machine into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

up before you can use it.

The Toner Cartridge
Handling and Storing Cartridges
•Do not open the drum protective shutter on the cartridge. If the drum surface is exposed to light and damaged, print 
quality may deteriorate.
•Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes caked in the cartridge, it may prove 
impossible to free it even by shaking the cartridge.
•Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The magnet inside the cartridge may harm 
these items.
•When holding the cartridge never touch the drum protective shutter with your hands.
