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 identifi  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 identifi  er that has the 
format US: AAAEQ##T XXXX. 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.

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 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.
