Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile 
Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See p. 14-1 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.

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 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.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the 
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept an interference received, including interference that may 
cause undesired operation.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to 
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency 
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference 
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can 
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Use of shielded cable is required to comply with class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15
of FCC Rules.
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise 
specified in this manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could

Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile 
Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See p. 14-1 for the machine’s weight and 
dimensions.
B. Order Information
1. Provide only a single-line to touch-tone or rotary telephone set terminated with a 
standard 4-pin modular phone plug. (Touch-tone is recommended if available in your 
area.)
2. Order an CA11A modular jack (USOC code), 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 equivalent. Use one line per machine.

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 “Camp On” 
signals is also permissible 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.
C. Power Requirements
The power outlet should be a three-prong grounded receptacle (Single or Duplex). It 
should be independent from copiers, heaters, air conditioners or any electric equipment 
that is thermostatically controlled. The rated value is 120 volts and 15 amperes. The 
CA11A modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.
