Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See p. 13-2 for the machine’s weight and dimensions.
B. Order Information
1. Provide only a single-line to touch-tone or rotary telephone set termina\
ted with a standard 
4-pin modular phone plug. (Touch-tone is recommended if available in yo\
ur 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 r\
epresentative. The 
line should be a regular voice grade line or equivalent. Use one line pe\
r machine.
DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE
-or-
IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU COMMUNICATE OVER\
SEAS
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 e\
quipment 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 instal\
lation.

Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser product 
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance 
Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means 
that the machine does not produce hazardous radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely confined within protective 
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any 
phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These 
regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1, 1976. Compliance is 
mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result 
in hazardous radiation exposure.
The label is attached to the laser scanner machine inside the machine and is not in a user 
access area.
