Pre-Installation Requirements for Canon 

Facsimile Equipment

A. Location

Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk for the 

machine. See the User's Guide for specific 

dimensions and weight.

B. Order Information

1.  A single telephone line (touch-tone or rotary) 

should be used.

2.  Order an RJ11-C telephone wall jack (USOC), 

which should be installed by the telephone 

company. If the RJ11-C wall jack is not present, 

telephone/facsimile operation is not possible.

3.  Order a normal business line from your 

telephone company’s business representative. 

The line should be a regular voice grade line 

or an equivalent one. Use one line per unit.

DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line

-or-

IDDD (International Direct Distance Dial) line if 

you communicate overseas

[NOTE]

Canon recommends an individual line following 

industry standards, i.e.,2,500 (touch-tone) or 500 

(rotary/pulse dial) telephones. A dedicated 

extension off a PBX (Private Branch eXchange) 

unit without “Call Waiting” can be used with your 

facsimile unit. Key telephone systems are not 

recommended because they send nonstandard 

signals to individual telephones for ringing and 

special codes, which may cause a facsimile error.

C. Power Requirements

The machine should be connected to a standard 

120 volt AC, threewire grounded outlet only.

Do not connect this machine to an outlet or 

power line shared with other appliances that 

cause “electrical noise.” Air conditioners, electric 

typewriters, copiers, and machines of this sort 

generate electrical noise that often interferes 

with communications equipment and the 

sending and receiving of documents.

Connection of the Equipment

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC 

rules and the requirements adopted by the 

ACTA. On the rear panel of this equipment is a 

label that contains, among other information, a 

product identifier in the format 

US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number 

must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of 

devices that may be connected to a telephone 

line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may 

result in the devices not ringing in response to 

an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the 

sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).

To be certain of the number of devices that may 

be connected to a line, as determined by the 

total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

For products approved after July 23, 2001, the 

REN for this product is part of the product 

identifier that has the format US: 

AAAEQ##TXXXX.

The digits represented by ## are the REN without 

a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

An FCC compliant telephone line cable and 

modular plug is provided with this equipment. 

This equipment is designed to be connected to 

the telephone network or premise wiring using a 

compatible modular jack that is Part 68 

compliant.

This equipment may not be used on coin service 

provided by the telephone company. 

Connection to party lines is subjected to state 

tariffs.

In Case of Equipment Malfunction

Should any malfunction occur which cannot be 

corrected by the procedures described in this 

guide or the User's Guide, disconnect the 

equipment from the telephone line cable and 

disconnect the power cord.

The telephone line cable should not be 

reconnected or the power switch turned ON 

until the problem is completely resolved. Users 

should contact Canon Authorized Service 

Facilities for servicing of equipment, Information 

regarding Authorized Service Facility locations 

can be obtained by calling Canon Customer Care 

Center (1-800-OK-CANON).

Rights of the Telephone Company

If this equipment (imageCLASS MF543dw) causes 

harm to the telephone network, the telephone 

company may temporarily disconnect service. 

The telephone company also retains the right to 

make changes in facilities and services that may 

affect the operation of this equipment. When 

such changes are necessary, the telephone 

company is required to give adequate prior 

notice to the user.

However, if advance notice is not possible, the 

telephone company will notify the customer as 

soon as possible. Also, the customer will be 

advised of his/her right to file a complaint with 

the FCC if he/she believes it is necessary.

WARNING

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 

makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer 

or other electronic device, including FAX machines, 

to send any message unless such message clearly 

contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each 

transmitted page or on the first page of the 

transmission, the date and time it is sent and an 

identification of the business or other entity, or 

other individual sending the message and the 

telephone number of the sending machine or such 

business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone 

number provided may not be a 900 number or any 

other number for which charges exceed local or 

long-distance transmission charges.)

[NOTE]

In order to program this information into your 

machine, you should complete the procedure 

for registering your name, unit’s telephone 

number, time, and date in the Getting Started.

The power outlet should be a three-prong 

grounded receptacle (Single or Duplex). It should 

be independent from copiers, heaters, air 

conditioners, or any electric equipment that is 

thermostatically controlled. The rated value is 

115 volts and 15 amperes. The CA11A modular 

jack should be relatively close to the power 

outlet to facilitate installation.

[Notice]

• 

The REN of this product is 1.0.

• 

Before installing this equipment, users should 

ensure that it is permissible to be connected 

to the facilities of the local 

telecommunications company. The 

equipment must also be installed using an 

acceptable method of connection. In some 

cases, the company’s inside wiring associated 

with a single line individual service may be 

extended by means of a certified connector 

assembly (telephone extension cord). The 

customer should be aware that compliance 

with the above conditions may not prevent 

deterioration of service in some situations.

• 

Repairs to certified equipment should be 

made by an authorized Canadian 

maintenance facility designated by the 

supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by 

the user to this equipment, or equipment 

malfunctions, may give the 

telecommunications company cause to 

request the user to disconnect the 

equipment.

• 

Users should ensure for their own protection 

that the electrical ground connections of the 

power utility, telephone lines, and internal 

metallic water pipe system, if present, are 

connected together. This precaution may be 

particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION

Users should not attempt to make such 

connections themselves, but should contact the 

appropriate electric inspection authority, or 

electrician, as appropriate.

[NOTE]

This equipment complies with the Canadian 

ICES-003 Class B limits.
