Setting Up Your Machine Making Connections NOTE • Be sure to connect any external device before using your machine. 2 • 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 7, "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.) 2-6 Making Connections
