What Can I Do with This Machine?
Preface
Thank you for choosing a Canon product. Before using the machine, please read 
the following instructions for your safety.
Important Safety Instructions
WA R N I N G
Except as specifically described in this guide, do not attempt to service the machine yourself. Never 
attempt to disassemble the machine: opening and removing its interior covers will expose you to 
dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service, contact Canon Customer Care Center, or a Canon 
Authorized Service Facility.
Handling and Maintenance
– Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.
– Do not subject the machine to strong physical shocks or vibrations.
– Always unplug the machine before moving or cleaning it.
– To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the front cover, or add or 
remove paper in the machine while printing.
– When transporting the machine, be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the 
machine.
– Place the toner cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it in a thick cloth to 
prevent exposure to light.
– Always grip the handle on the sides of the machine when you lift the machine. Never 
lift the machine by any of its trays or attachments.
– Do not insert any objects into the slots or openings on the machine since they may 
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could result in fire or electric 
shock.
– Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the 
machine.
– To avoid spillage in or around the machine, do not eat or drink near it.
– Keep the machine clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the machine from operating 
properly. 
						

							xii
What Can I Do with This Machine?
– Unplug the machine from the wall outlet and contact Canon Customer Care Center 
in any of the following cases:
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid or small object has fallen into the machine.
– If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the machine does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions 
in this guide. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in this 
guide. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may 
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal 
operation.
– If the machine has been dropped.
– If the machine exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for 
servicing.
Location
– Place the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to 
support its weight.
– Place the machine in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place.
– Make sure the area is free from dust.
– Make sure the location is not exposed to high temperature or humidity.
– Keep the machine away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to 
place the machine near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
– Do not use the machine near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come 
into contact with the machine.
– Do not use or store the machine outdoors.
– Do not place the machine near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic 
fields, such as speakers. 
						

							xiii
What Can I Do with This Machine?
– If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone line outlet for easy 
connection of the telephone line cord, and to avoid the expense of installing a new 
outlet.
– Place the machine near a standard 120 V AC (60 Hz) power outlet.
– 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 enough space 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, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
(Please note that any documents stored in the machine’s memory will be deleted 
when you unplug the power cord.)
– Whenever you unplug the power cord, wait at least five seconds before you plug it in 
again.
– Do not plug the power cord into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Users in the U.S.A.
Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile 
Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See p. 13-1 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
NOTE
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.
