Preface iv

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 unit without "Call
Waiting" can be used with your MultiPASS. 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
This equipment should be connected to a standard 120 volt AC, three-wire grounded outlet
only. Do not connect this unit to an outlet or power line shared with other appliances that
cause "electrical noise". Mr 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. On the rear panel of this equipment is a
label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be given to
the telephone company. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
Prcfacc V

An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular jack is 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 Installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone
line. Excessive RENs on the 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 five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total
RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
IN CASE OF EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this
User'sManual, disconnect the equipment from the telephone line or 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
the Canon Computer Systems Customer Care Center. (See page 1=14for details.)
Preface vi

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.
WARNING
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 be required to stop
operation of the equipment.
MultiPASS C530: Facsimile Transceiver, Model H12159
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.
Preface vii

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class Bdigital 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 be required to stop
operation of the equipment.
Preface viii

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a
computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such
message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first
page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other
entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine
or such business, other entity, or individual.
To automatically enter this information into your MultiPASS, follow the instructions in your
Quick Start Guide.

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 without "Camp On"
signals is also permissible with your MultiPASS. 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.
NOTICE
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 RJll-C
modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets telecommunications networks protective, operational and safety requirements
as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Preface xi

CAUTION
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the
facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil num0rique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du R_glement sur le mat0riel
brouilleur du Canada.
Preface xii

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication
of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
The REN of this product is 0.3.
