Modes,” on p. 10.
For details, see “Methods for Receiving Faxes” in the “Fax” category in the e-Manual and “Introduction to Using Fax Functions”in
Chapter 6, “Fax,” in the Basic Operation Guide.
The remote reception function is useful when the receive mode is set to <Manual> and your machine is connected to an external
telephone. You can receive faxes by picking up the external telephone and pressing a two-digit remote reception ID (the default
setting is 25). For details, see “Fax,”in the e-Manual and Chapter 6, “Fax,”in the Basic Operation Guide.
Your telephone with built-in answering machine or answering machine must be connected directly to the machine to use
<AnsMode>. Make sure that the auto answering function of the telephone with built-in answering machine or answering
machine is activated. (See “Connect Telephone Cables,” on p. 8.)
The external telephone must be connected to the machine to use <FaxTel> or <Manual>. (See “Connect Telephone Cables,” on
p. 8.)
By default, <FaxOnly> is selected in <1. RX MODE>. If an external telephone is connected to the machine and receives a fax or

machine automatically monitors incoming calls and the ring pattern, to let you know if the call is a fax or voice call. Set the ring
patterns assigned by your telephone company for a fax or voice call. Contact your telephone company for information on
availability.

Drivers & Toolbox
UFRII LT Driver
Using the UFRII LT Driver, the various data
processing tasks conventionally executed within
the printer are appropriately divided between
the host computer and the printer to greatly
reduce the overall printing time. The workload
can be delegated to match the output data, thus
realizing a significant increase in speed through
optimization.
FAX Driver
The FAX Driver is conceptually akin to a printer
driver. A user selects [Print] from any Windows
application software, selects the Canon fax driver
as the printer, and specifies its destination(s) and
options. The FAX Driver would then convert this
into an image that conforms to standard fax
protocols, to be printed or stored on the
recipient fax machine(s).
PCL Printer Driver (MF5880dn Only)
The PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers can be used
with most kinds of business application
software. The PCL5e printer driver is for black-
and-white printers and the PCL6 printer driver is
for both color and black-and-white printers.
PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e, and offers
superior printing quality and speed. The PCL5e
printer driver is provided as standard with black-
and-white printers.
USB Scanner Driver (ScanGear MF)
ScanGear MF enables computer to use the
machine as a scanner via USB.
ScanGear MF is not supported on Windows Server 2003
and Windows Server 2008.
MF Toolbox (Available with USB connection)
MF Toolbox is a program that enables you to
easily import images scanned with a scanner
into an application, attach them to e-mail
messages, save them to hard disks, etc.
MF Toolbox is not supported on Windows Server 2003
and Windows Server 2008.
