Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See the Appendix for the unit’s dimensions
and weight.
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 normal business line from your telephone company’s business
representative. The line should be a regular voice grade line or the equivalent.
Use one line per unit.
DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE
-or-
IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU
COMMUNICATE OVERSEAS
nCanon 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 B740 copier/fax. 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.” 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. 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.

iv Preface
In Case of Equipment Malfunction
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in
this User’s Manual, 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.
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.
FCC Notice

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.
nThis 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.

Preface v
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified
in the User’s Manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be
required to stop operation of the equipment.

TEL No. [phone]
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.

Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon Facsimile Equipment
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See the Appendix for the unit’s dimensions
and weight.
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 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 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 unit.
DDD (DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE
-or-
IDDD (INTERNATIONAL DIRECT DISTANCE DIAL) LINE IF YOU
COMMUNICATE OVERSEAS
nCanon 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 B740 copier/fax. 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 RJ11-C modular jack should be relatively close to the power outlet to
facilitate installation.
Notice
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 vii
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.
cUsers should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact
the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
nThis Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-
Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le
matériel brouilleur du Canada.
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.

Important Safety Instructions
Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your copier/fax, and keep them
handy in case you need to refer to them later.
cExcept as specifically described in this manual, do not attempt to service the
copier/fax yourself. Never attempt to disassemble the unit: opening and removing its
interior covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and other risks. For all
service, contact the Customer Care Center.
■Handling and Maintenance
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the copier/fax.
• Do not subject the unit to strong physical shock or vibration.
• Always unplug the unit before moving or cleaning it.
• To avoid paper jams, never unplug the power cord, open the ADF (Automatic
Document Feeder), or remove paper from the multi-purpose tray while printing.
• Always lift the unit as shown below. Never lift it by any of its attachments.
• Do not push objects of any kind into the slots or openings on the cabinet as 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 unit. If
something does fall into it, unplug the unit immediately and contact the Customer
Care Center.
cTo avoid spillage in or around the unit, do not eat or drink near the unit. If you spill
liquid or if any substance falls into the unit, unplug the unit immediately and contact
the Customer Care Center.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified personnel under the
following conditions:
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid has spilled into the unit.
– If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-7
Introduction
– If the unit does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in this
manual. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions in
this manual. 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 unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
– If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for servicing.
■Location
• Place the unit on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support
its weight (approx. 11.2 lb./5.1 kg).
• Place the unit in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place.
– Make sure the area is free from dust.
– Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature changes, and always
stays between 50° and 90.5°F (10° and 32.5°C).
– Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 85%.
• Keep the unit away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to place it
near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
• Do not use the unit near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come into
contact with the unit.
• Do not use or store the unit outdoors.
• Do not install the unit near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields,
such as speakers.
• If possible, place the unit near an existing telephone outlet to avoid the expense of
installing a new one.
• Place the unit near a standard 120 V AC power outlet. The socket outlet shall
be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• To ensure reliable operation of the unit and to protect it from overheating (which can
cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the exhaust vent
and never block or cover any openings on the unit by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. Do not place the unit in a closet or built-in installation, or near a
radiator or other heat register unless proper ventilation is provided. Install the unit
approximately 4 inches (10 cm) away from walls and other equipment.
• 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 unit, unplug the unit immediately. Contact the Customer Care
Center.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not place the unit where the
cord will be walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.

1-8 Introduction Chapter 1
■Power Supply
• Plug the unit into a standard 120 V AC 60 Hz, three-prong grounded outlet. Only
operate the unit from the type of power source indicated on the unit’s label. If you are
not sure of the type of power available, consult your local power company.
• Use only the power cord that came with the unit. Using a longer cord or extension
cord can cause the unit to malfunction. If you must use an extension cord with the
unit, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products plugged into the
extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure
the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the
current amperage of the circuit breaker.
• The unit is equipped with a three-prong, grounding-type plug provided with a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician to
replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by
breaking off the third prong or using a 3-to-2 adapter.
• Do not plug the unit into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner,
electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that
can interfere with your unit’s ability to send and receive faxes.
• During electrical storms, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. (Please
note that any documents stored in the unit’s memory will be deleted when you unplug
the unit.)
• Unplug the unit only by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
• Whenever you unplug the unit, wait at least five seconds before you plug it in again.
• Check the plug frequently and make sure that it is firmly plugged into the socket.
