Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF
signalling, only the performance of the DTMF signalling is subject to
regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly
recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF signalling for
access to public or private emergency services. DTMF signalling also
provides faster call set up.
This CE Marking shows compliance of this equipment with Directive
73/23/EEC and Directive 89/336/EEC (as amended by Directive
92/31/EEC), both as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC.

Notice for Connection to Telecommunication Systems in
the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland
Approval Number 607912
Your Canon MultiPASS L60 has been approved against the requirements
of NTR3 for use in the UK. The CE mark is applied in respect of the
requirements of 72/23 EEC and 89/336 EEC.
It is intended for connection to analogue two wire public
telecommunication networks.
Connect the supplied cable to this socket first, then to the
telephone line.
This socket is intended for connection of the Canon optional
telephone. If required, an adapter to connect any piece of
approved telecommunications apparatus is available from your
Canon supplier.
Canon recommend that any additional equipment connected in the
installation is connected to this “handset” socket. Do not connect
additional equipment through parallel sockets elsewhere on the
telephone line.
Voltage and current available at these sockets is determined by the
network to which the line cable is connected. They will not normally
exceed the limits for TNV as described in EN60950.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) = 1
The REN is a guide to help calculate the maximum number of items of
apparatus that will ring when connected simultaneously to one phone
line. The total RENs of the individual items should not exceed 4.
Correct ringing may not always be possible even when total REN does
not exceed 4. The REN value of a BT telephone is assumed to be 1 unless
otherwise marked.
This equipment is not intended or recommended for making calls to
emergency services.

Preface v
EMC Directive
This equipment has been tested in a typical system to comply with the
technical requirements of the EMC directive. Use of a shielded cable is
necessary to comply with the technical requirements of the EMC
Directive.
For your safety (Australia only)
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted
only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed
through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be
correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension
cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The power point shall be located near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that
the power point is earthed and the installation is completely safe. For
your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power
point, consult a qualified electrician.
Caution (New Zealand only)
1. This equipment may not necessarily provide for the effective hand-
over of a call to or from a telephone connected to the same line.
2. The operation of this equipment on the same line as telephone or
other equipment with audible warning devices or automatic ring
detectors will give rise to bell tinkle or noise and may cause false
tripping of the ring detector. Should such problems occur, the user is
not to contact Telecom faults service.
3. Should this equipment become physically damaged, disconnect
immediately from the Telecom connection and power source and
contact your nearest service agent.

vi Preface
4. To relocate this equipment please.
l) Disconnect the equipment from the Telecom connection.
2) Disconnect the equipment from the power source.
3) Reconnect the equipment to the power source.
4) Reconnect the equipment to the Telecom connection.
5. If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced
by the special cord (Parts No.: HH2-1910).
6. Not all standard telephones will respond to incoming ringing when
connected to the extension socket.

1-2 Introducing the MultiPASS L60 Chapter 1
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the new Canon MultiPASS L60. We are sure
that your MultiPASS L60 will help meet your fax and phone
requirements easily and conveniently, as well as your printing, copying,
and scanning needs.
MultiPASS L60

Introducing the
MultiPASS L60
Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS L60 1-3
The Main Features of the MultiPASS L60
The MultiPASS L60 is a complete multifunction system for your home
or small office. The MultiPASS L60 combines the following essential
office machines into a single, convenient desktop unit:
❏Plain Paper Fax Machine ❏Printer
❏Copier ❏PC Fax
❏Scanner ❏Telephone*
Your MultiPASS L60 also includes the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for
Windows®. This exclusive Canon software package provides you with a
“PC Fax” — you can print, fax, scan, and use the telephone from within
your PC’s Windows environment.
The MultiPASS L60’s multitasking ability enables you to perform a
number of operations simultaneously. For example, you can print, scan
a document, or make copies at the same time you are sending a fax or
receiving a fax into memory.
The compact size of the MultiPASS L60 makes it ideal for desktop use,
and allows you to use it in places where other machines may not fit.
*Requires the optional handset, a telephone, or an answering machine.

1-4 Introducing the MultiPASS L60 Chapter 1
Plain Paper Fax Features
UHQ™Image Processing System
The MultiPASS L60 uses Canon’s Ultra-High Quality Image Processing
System to provide enhanced definition in faxed photos.
Error Correction Mode (ECM)
Using the MultiPASS L60’s Error Correction Mode (ECM) reduces
transmission errors when sending faxes to or receiving faxes from other
fax machines that also have ECM capability.
Automatic switching between fax and voice calls
The MultiPASS L60 can automatically distinguish between fax calls and
normal telephone calls, so that you can receive both through a single
phone line.
Answering machine connection
You can connect an answering machine to the MultiPASS L60 to let it
receive telephone messages and faxes while you are away from your
desk.
Transmission speed
The MultiPASS L60 uses G3 data encoding methods that increase
transmission speed to approximately 6 seconds* per page.
Memory sending/receiving
The MultiPASS L60 can store up to 90* fax pages (either received or to
be sent) in its built-in memory, and can receive faxes while printing or
even when your PC is turned off.
Reduced-size printing
The MultiPASS L60 automatically scales received faxes to fit the size of
the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray. So if your client is sending
you a fax on paper larger than an A4-size page and you have A4-size
paper in the multi-purpose tray, the fax will be scaled down and printed
on A4-size paper.
Automatic dialling and broadcasting
To make faxing even easier, the MultiPASS L60 provides several
automatic dialling methods: coded speed dialling, one-touch speed
dialling, and group dialling. The MultiPASS L60 also enables you to
broadcast faxes or send faxes at a preset time to as many as 117 locations
at once.
*Based on Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1, standard mode

Introducing the
MultiPASS L60
Chapter 1 Introducing the MultiPASS L60 1-5
Point-and-click dialling
The MultiPASS Desktop Manager enables you to select a fax number
and dial directly from your PC’s screen with a simple click of the mouse.
Flexible document feeding
The MultiPASS L60 includes an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that
can be set for automatic document feed or manual document feed
according to your needs. This allows you to fax a variety of documents,
from multipage documents (up to 20 A4- or letter-size pages, or 10 legal-
size pages at a time), to a single photo or business card.
Printer Features
Excellent print quality and speed
The MultiPASS L60 offers 600 ×600 dpi laser beam printing, providing
you with high resolution text and graphics. The exceptional printing
speed of 6 pages per minute allows you to work more effectively.
Simple maintenance
The FX-3 toner cartridge for the MultiPASS L60 contains both the toner
and the drum, making installation and replacement simple and clean.
Convenient paper handling
The MultiPASS L60 multi-purpose tray holds up to 100 sheets* of plain
A4, letter, or legal size paper; 7 envelopes; 1 transparency; or labels (up
to 10 mm stack height).
In addition to the multi-purpose tray, the manual feed slot allows you to
feed print media of different sizes and thicknesses, one at a time.
Economy toner-saving printing
The MultiPASS L60 includes an economy printing mode that uses up to
approximately 50% less toner, resulting in longer cartridge life.
*75 g/m2paper

1-6 Introducing the MultiPASS L60 Chapter 1
Copier Features
Up to 99 copies
The MultiPASS L60 can make up to 99 copies of a document at a time, at
a rate of up to six copies per minute.
600 dpi and 300 dpi resolution
The MultiPASS L60 copies documents at 600 × 300 dpi when using
direct copying, and 300 ×300 dpi when using memory copying.
Copy reduction
The MultiPASS L60 can reduce copies to 90%, 80%, or 70% of their
original size. This allows you to copy legal-size documents onto A4-size
paper, for example.
PC Fax Features
Fax/telephone address book
You can create an unlimited list of people to call and/or to whom you
can send PC documents.
Fax viewer
In the MultiPASS viewer not only can you view a PC fax document, but
you can also zoom, rotate, save, print, and copy it to the clipboard.
Fax distribution lists
Send fax broadcasts to any number of destinations with a click of your
mouse.
Custom cover sheets
Allows you to attach a cover sheet to each PC fax you send.
Transmission speed
Approximately six seconds* per page with ECM.
