The use of the jacks may differ in certain countries. See Appendix C, "Country-Specific Features," of the User's
Guide for details.
Be sure to connect any external device before using your machine.
Canon cannot guarantee that all answering machines will be compatible with your machine, due to varying
specifications.
If you have connected an external device to your machine, be sure to set the correct receive mode.
See Chapter 8, "Receiving Faxes."
To connect an extension phone as well as an answering machine, connect the extension phone to the answering
machine, and then the answering machine to your machine.
If you connect a data modem to your machine and you use it extensively, or others access your PC frequently
through the data modem, you may want a dedicated telephone line for your data modem.

Connecting the Machine to Your PC

Your machine has a USB port that allows you to connect it to a PC. To do this, you need to purchase a
USB cable from your dealer.
NOTE
For best results, use a cable that is 5 meters in length or shorter.
Connect the machine to your computer as follows:
1
Make sure the computer is turned off and the machine is unplugged.
2
Connect the USB cable to your machine and PC during software installation to ensure the proper
operation of the printer driver. (See the Software Guide.)
