NOTE
- When you connect the power cord, the LCD displays first, and then displays until the standby display appears. It is also possible to see the standby display without having shown.

Optional Handset
If you want to use the machine as a telephone and a fax machine, or if you want to receive faxes manually, install the optional handset available from your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.

Use a sharp object (i.e., pen) to select the ring volume of the handset.

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

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.
Toner Cartridge name: Canon FX9 Cartridge

| Model Name | Type | Supported Canon Genuine Cartridge | Print Yield |
| FAX-L160 FAX-L140 | Bundled Canon | FX9 S-cartridge | Approx. 1,000 pages |
| Replacement Canon | FX9 Cartridge | Approx. 2,000 pages |
■ 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.

If a Power Failure Occurs
If a power failure occurs, machine functions will be limited as follows:
Depending on your telephone, you may not be able to make telephone calls.
- You can receive telephone calls from the optional handset or telephone connected to the machine.
- You cannot send, receive, or copy documents.
If power is suddenly lost due to a power failure or accidental unplugging, the machine may lose received data stored in memory. If this happens, the LCD displays when power is restored and automatically prints a Lost Report (unless the cartridge is empty or there is no paper in the machine) that lists the documents (received in the last 60 transactions) that were lost from memory as a result of the power cut.
If You Cannot Solve a Problem
If you cannot solve the problem after having referred to the information in this chapter, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
Please have the following information ready when you contact Canon:
– Product name (FAX-L160/FAX-L140) - Serial number (On the label located at the back of the machine) - Place of purchase – Nature of problem – Steps you have taken to solve the problem and the results

CAUTION
If the machine makes strange noises or emits smoke or odd odor, disconnect the power cord immediately, and then contact your local authorized Canon dealer or the Canon help line. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the machine yourself.

NOTE
Attempting to repair the machine yourself may void the limited warranty.
