CANON i-Sensys FAX-L160 - Optional Handset - 2

NOTE

For how to install the handset, see "Before FAX Setting," in the Starter Guide.

CANON i-Sensys FAX-L160 - NOTE - 1

Maintaining the Handset

  • Do not leave the handset exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Do not install the handset in hot or humid conditions.
  • Do not spray aerosol polish on the handset as it may cause damage.
  • Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the handset.

Toner Cartridge

The lifetime of the Canon genuine starter toner cartridge which comes with the machine is approximately 1,000 pages, and the Canon genuine replacement toner cartridge is approximately 2,000 pages. The page counts are based on 5% coverage* when printing A4 size paper with the default print density setting.

The level of toner consumption varies depending on the type of documents printed. If your average document contains a lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner. When you are replacing a toner cartridge, be sure to use a toner cartridge designed for this product. To purchase the Canon genuine replacement toner cartridge, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or Canon help line.

* The term "5% coverage" denotes a document on which the area covered with toner is 5% of the total area of a sheet.

■ Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

  • Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items. ● Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in temperature.
  • Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five minutes.
  • Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install the toner cartridge in the machine.
  • Save the toner cartridge's protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the toner cartridge at a later date.
  • Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases such as those from aerosol sprays.
  • Do not remove the toner cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
  • Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.

● Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective shutter. - Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by shaking the toner cartridge. - If there is a toner powder leakage, make sure not to inhale or touch the toner powder. If it comes in contact with your skin, rinse with cold water using soap. If you feel an irritation on your skin or inhale the powder, consult a doctor immediately. - When removing the toner cartridge from the machine, make sure to remove it carefully. If not removed with care, the toner powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes and mouth. If this happens, rinse with cold water and consult a doctor immediately. - Keep the toner cartridge away from small children. If they ingest the toner powder, consult a doctor immediately. - Do not disassemble the toner cartridge. The toner powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes and mouth. If this happens, rinse with cold water and consult a doctor immediately.

CAUTION

Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.

Glossary

A

Activity Report

A journal of the machine's transactions, both sent and received.

Address Book

The Address Book is a feature used for storing fax recipients. The Address Book is divided into one-touch speed dialing keys and coded speed dialing codes. You can register multiple recipients in a group and assign a one-touch speed dialing key to this group. Registering a destination in the Address Book saves you the effort of entering that fax number each time you send a fax.

Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)

The device included in the machine that feeds the document being sent or copied, or scanned into the machine.

Automatic Redialing

When the recipient's machine is busy or does not answer, or when an error occurs while sending, the machine waits a specified time and then automatically redials the number. If the receiving fax is still busy or does not answer, the machine waits the specified time and dials again.

B

bps

Bits per second. Refers to the speed with which a fax machine sends and receives data.

Broadcasting

Transmitting documents to more than one location (through the machine's memory).

Buffer Size

The size of a data area, or buffer, shared by devices or programs working at different speeds or with different priorities. The buffer is designed to prevent one device or process from being held up by another. For this to be possible, the buffer must be set up correctly.

C

CNG

Calling Tone. This is a signal sent by fax machines to identify the call as an incoming document. When the receiving fax detects this signal, it automatically starts to receive the fax transmission. The majority of fax machines in use today can send and detect CNG signals.

Coded Speed Dialing Codes

A method to specify a recipient registered in Address Book. Press [Coded Dial] and a two-digit code using the numeric keys. A file left on a user's computer when the user visits a web site. A cookie allows the web site to recognize the user on subsequent visits. Cookies are generally used to enable a user to automatically sign on to certain web sites and to customize the features offered by such sites.

Cursor

The underline symbol you see on the LCD when you register numbers and names in the machine.

D

Document

The sheet of paper containing the data that you send to, or receive from a machine.

dpi

Dots per inch. A machine of measurement for indicating a machine's resolution.

E

ECM

Error Correction Mode. The ability of your machine to reduce system and line errors when sending or receiving from another fax with ECM capability. ECM is most effective in areas where the telephone lines are in poor condition or there is frequent interference on the line.

Extension

A telephone connected to the machine that is used in place of the handset. You can use the extension telephone to activate incoming reception of documents manually.

F

FAX/TEL switching

This option allows you to set the machine to automatically detect whether a call is from a fax or telephone. If the call is from another fax, the transmission is automatically received. If the call is from a telephone, the machine rings to let you know, so you can pick up the handset. With this feature, one telephone line can be shared by both the telephone and the fax.

FINE

The resolution setting for documents with very small characters and lines.

G

G3, Group 3 fax machine

Defined by CCITT/ITU-T. Uses encoding schemes to transmit image data while reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, thus reducing transmission time. G3 fax machines can transmit one page in less than one minute. Encoding schemes for G3 fax machines are Modified Huffman (MH), Modified READ (MR), Modified Modified READ (MMR), and Joint Bi-level Image expert Group (JBIG).

Group Dialing

A method of specifying recipients that enables you to specify multiple recipients registered in Address Book as a group. This means that you can press just a single one-touch speed dialing key to specify recipients when sending the same document to many recipients.

H

HP-GL/2

A graphics language that allows computer applications to draw graphic images using printers. Images in HP-GL/2 are represented as vector graphics. Vector objects describe an image in terms of geometric shapes, such as lines and polygons, and fills. HP-GL/2 is supported by your Canon machine.

|

Interface

The connection between two devices that makes it possible for them to communicate with each other. The machine features a USB interface, which makes it compatible with IBM and similar personal computers.

Interface cable

The cable used to create the interface between a printer and a computer.

Interface port

The machine comes with one USB port, located on the back of the machine. You attach the cable that connects your computer and machine to this port.

ITU-T

A committee created to set international standards for telecommunications.

L

Login

Entering a password as a means of user authentication to start a computer session or access to a service.

LPD

Line Printer Daemon. A daemon is a program that runs, without human intervention, to accomplish a given task. The Line Printer Daemon controls the flow of print jobs to a printer.

M

Manual receiving

A method of receiving faxes in which you answer all incoming calls using the optional handset or the external telephone. If you hear a slow beep it indicates an incoming fax transmission from another machine. Just press [Start] to receive the incoming fax.

N

Numeric keys

The round, numbered keys on the operation panel marked the same as a standard telephone keypad. Press them to perform regular dialing. You also use the numeric keys to enter characters and numbers during registration, and for entering coded speed dialing codes.

0

One-Touch Speed Dialing keys

The numbered keys on the operation panel that may be registered as single or a group of recipients. Once a number or group is registered, you press one key to dial the entire number or group.

P

Paper feed

Refers to guiding a sheet of paper into the machine's paper path.

Paper feeder

The device in the machine that feeds recording media into the machine for printing copied or sent documents.

Pause

A timing entry required for registering certain long distance numbers and for dialing out through some telephone systems or switchboards. Pressing [Redial/Pause] enters a pause between digits of a telephone number.

PDF

Portable Document Format. The page description language used in Adobe Systems' Acrobat document exchange system, which is restricted neither by device nor resolution. PDF displays documents in a way that is independent of the original application software, hardware, and operating system used to create those documents. A PDF document can contain any combination of text, graphics, and images.

PHOTO

The document setting you use for sending or copying documents with intermediate tones, such as photographs.

Polling

One fax machine requesting another to send a document. The receiving party calls the fax machine holding the document to be sent, and requests that it be sent.

Pulse

See Rotary pulse.

R

Raster

Raster graphics describes an image as a pattern of dots, compared to vector graphics which represents an image as a geometrical formula. Each row of color dots in the mosaic of color dots constitutes one raster graphic. In a printer, a raster graphic is used as the master image from which a page is printed, because the image can be transferred to paper by printing one raster at a time.

Receiving

Receiving transmission is also defined as RX or Reception. The machine can be customized to receive fax documents in several ways.

Reception

SeeReceiving.

Automatic redialing

See Automatic redialing.

Registering

A process by which you place recipient's information (such as the name, fax number) in the machine's memory, so that you save time specifying recipients you send documents frequently.

Regular dialing

Pressing the individual numeric keys to dial a fax or telephone number.

Remote reception ID

The two-digit code that enables you to manually activate fax reception using an external telephone.

Remote reception

Activating fax reception by answering an external telephone that is not located near the machine. You need to dial a remote receiving ID number to start remote reception.

Report

A document printed by the machine and containing information about the documents it has sent or received.

Resolution

The density of dots for any given output device. Expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution causes font characters and graphics to have a jagged appearance. Higher resolution means smoother curves and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs. Resolution values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for example, 600 x 600 dpi.

RIP (Raster Image Processor)

The hardware and/or software functions of a printer that convert vector graphic descriptions from a computer into raster graphic images that can be printed.

Rotary pulse

A telephone dialing system where a dial is rotated to send pulses to the telephone switching system. In pulse dialing, you hear clicks. In touch-tone dialing, the most common dialing system, you hear tones. Rotary pulse dialing requires certain setting adjustments.

Sending speed

The rate at which faxes are transmitted through the phone line. See also bps (bits per seconds).

Standby

The mode in which the machine is on and ready to use.

Subaddress

Subaddress is the global telecommunications standard specified by the ITU-T. When the remote party's machine supports the same standard, confidential or relayed communications are possible by attaching a subaddress and a password in advance.

T

Tone

A key that allows you to temporarily switch to touch-tone from pulse dialing. In some countries, on-line data services may require that you use tone dialing.

Tone/pulse setting

The ability to set the machine to match the telephone dialing system your telephone line uses: touch-tone or rotary pulse.
