3 ❍ Gently insert the document facedown (letterhead first) into the ADF until it stops. DOC_IN Introduction Feed the document. The document is now ready for scanning. The MultiPASS automatically feeds the pages one by one from the bottom of the stack. If you have problems feeding a multiple-page document, remove the document and re-stack it tapping the edges on a flat surface. If problems persist, feed one page at a time.
Adding Pages to the Document If you want to add pages while the MultiPASS is sending a document, wait until the last page is feeding into the MultiPASS and then insert the new sheets. Insert the first new page so it overlaps the last page by about one inch (2.5 cm). ❍ Always wait until the last page is being fed into the MultiPASS before you add new pages. ADDING_PAPER ❍ Insert the new page so that it overlaps the last page by about an inch (2.5 cm).
Always set the document feed lever to single sheets and manually feed the following types of documents: ❍ Thick paper Introduction ❍ Thin paper ❍ Small documents (postcards, business cards) ❍ Documents with uneven surfaces ❍ Photographs ❍ Special types of paper Identifying Your Documents When sending a document, the following information is printed out by the receiving fax: your fax number, your name, and the current date and time.

If you followed the installation procedure, this information will be printed on the top of your outgoing faxes.
Printing With the 2 This chapter describes how to use the MultiPASS L6000 to print your documents. Once you have installed the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, you can use the MultiPASS for all your printing needs.
When selecting or loading paper, please remember the following: ❍ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. ❍ Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper. ❍ Highly textured or extremely smooth or shiny paper does not print well. ❍ The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at temperatures near 338°F (170°C).
Printing a Document This procedure describes the general steps required for printing from various Windows applications. The exact steps for printing a document may vary depending on the application program you are using. Refer to your software application’s documentation for the exact printing procedure. 1 Start your application. ❍ Start the program you use to create documents, and open the document you want to print. ❍ From the File menu, choose Print Setup. PTR_PTR.
Printer Setup Within Windows You can use the MultiPASS with all your Windows 95 applications. Be sure to set the MultiPASS L6000 as the default printer for all your Windows operations. Most of your printing operations are controlled by your software application. The following sections describe how you set certain options directly from the printer driver; you only need this information if your application does not control printing.
Using the Windows Tabs The MultiPASS Printer Driver for Windows has several tabs from which you can select your printing options and learn about your printer driver as well as your MultiPASS L6000. ❍ General ADD COMMENTS HERE L6000_DR1 Printing This tab allows you to add comments regarding the printer driver and print a test page or a separator page. (You see this tab when you open the Properties dialog box from the Printers folder, not from within a Windows application.
❍ Paper This tab allows you to specify page orientation, paper size, and type of print media. SPECIFY SIZE OF PAPER SPECIFY TYPE OF PAPER SPECIFY PAPER FEED METHOD L6000_DR3 SPECIFY PAGE ORIENTATION ❍ Graphics This tab allows you to specify print quality and print model.
❍ Setting ENABLE OR DISABLE SETUP ANALYZER ENABLE OR DISABLE TONER SAVING FEATURE Printing SAVE YOUR CUSTOM PRINT SETTINGS Be sure to use the Windows 95 Help features to find out more about the options on these screens. Specifying Your Printing Options Be sure to use your on-line help to find out about the settings available for each printing option. ❍ To move between the Windows tabs, click on any of the tabs. ❍ To select the settings and exit, click the OK button.
The Paper Path Understanding how paper feeds through the MultiPASS will help you to determine how to load paper and handle paper jams. The page travels first to the FX-3 Toner Cartridge. Here a laser beam “draws” the print image on the drum, then the drum applies toner to the page. The page then travels to the fixing assembly where the toner is fused to the page. The page then exits the unit from the front or top.
Selecting Paper Delivery Received faxes, copies, and printed documents can be delivered through the faceup or facedown delivery slot. Choose paper delivery according to the job the MultiPASS is performing and the type of print media you are using. PAPER DELIVERY SELECTOR FACEUP DELIVERY Facedown Delivery Use facedown delivery for most jobs and when using plain paper only (17 to 24 lbs or 64 to 90 g/m2).

Receiving Faxes 5 The MultiPASS L6000 has four Receive Modes: ❍ Fax Only Mode ❍ FaxTel Mode ❍ Manual Mode ❍ Answer Machine Mode You set the Receive Mode during the MultiPASS installation procedure. (See your Quick Start Guide for details.) You can change the Receive Mode and the Receive Fax options through the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. See page 8-7 for details.
Receiving Documents During reception of a fax: ❍ If the unit runs out of paper or if the toner cartridge runs out of toner, the MultiPASS receives the remainder of the document in memory. ❍ To stop receiving before the document is complete, press STOP. ❍ If the ALARM light is flashing for any reason, correct the error and then press STOP. If necessary, see Chapter 10, Troubleshooting. ❍ If an error occurs, the MultiPASS beeps intermittently for a few seconds.
If you do not pick up the telephone connected to the MultiPASS within 15 seconds (set by the Ring Time option), the unit stops ringing. It checks again to make sure the call is not from a fax machine and then hangs up. N The MultiPASS does not recognize an extension telephone connected to another phone jack (that is, not connected to the MultiPASS). If a call comes in and you pick up an extension phone, the MultiPASS will continue to ring for 15 seconds, check for a fax, and then hang up.
Receive option must be enabled in the Advanced: Receive Fax dialog box. (The default is enabled.) For details, see page 8-8. Use the telephone to receive manual calls as follows: 1. When you answer a call and hear a long beep or silence, a fax is being sent. 2. Enter the two-digit ID code on your telephone (the default code is 25). Wait for five seconds, then hang up. The MultiPASS then begins receiving the document.
Using the MultiPASS With an Answering Machine Follow these guidelines when using the MultiPASS with an answering machine: ❍ Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring. ❍ If the MultiPASS runs out of paper or toner in Answer Machine Mode, it receives all faxes into its memory. The faxes then print automatically when you add paper or replace the toner cartridge. ❍ When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine: • • • The entire message must be no more than 15 seconds long.
The MultiPASS can store up to 122 letter-size pages (based on the CCITT No. 1 chart). The LCD display shows REC’D IN MEMORY alternating with the error message when the memory contains documents. The MultiPASS will automatically print the contents of memory when you correct the problem. After printing the document(s) stored in memory, the MultiPASS erases the document(s) from memory.
Receiving Faxes to the MultiPASS Desktop Manager When your computer is on, you can automatically receive incoming faxes to the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. When your computer is off, the MultiPASS stores received faxes in its memory until you either print them or you turn on the computer. When you turn on the computer, you can send the faxes to the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. The MultiPASS can also print incoming faxes directly.
Printing a Received Fax When Your Computer Is Off When a document is in its memory, the MultiPASS displays the message REC’D IN FILE and alternately flashes the date. To upload the fax to the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, simply turn on the computer. If you want to print a fax that is stored in the MultiPASS’s memory without turning on the computer, follow these steps: 1 On the MultiPASS, press the FUNCTION key. FUNCTION 2 Select FILE PRINT. ❍ Use the < or > buttons to select FILE PRINT.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature Some phone companies offer a distinctive ring pattern (DRP) service whereby they assign two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single telephone line. If your phone company offers such a service, you can have both a fax number(s) and a telephone number(s) for your MultiPASS using only one telephone line. Your MultiPASS will automatically detect incoming calls.
How DRPD Responds to Calls When there is an incoming call, the MultiPASS checks the incoming ring pattern and determines the type of pattern being received. The MultiPASS may require up to 10 seconds to determine the pattern type. During this time, any telephone device connected to the MultiPASS will not ring if Silent Receive is enabled. After the pattern is detected, the MultiPASS reacts according to how you registered the setting.
Copying and Scanning Copying and Scanning With 6 the MultiPASS L6000 You can use the MultiPASS L6000 as a copier and a scanner.

Toner Cartridge Guidelines FX-3 The FX-3 Toner Cartridge contains a photosensitive component called the drum and black carbon powder called toner. The drum is extremely light sensitive and may deteriorate if exposed to light.
When storing toner cartridges, follow these guidelines: ❍ Store cartridges in their protective bags. Do not open a protective bag until you are ready to install the cartridge in the MultiPASS. ❍ Store cartridges where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight. ❍ Store cartridges right side up—not on their ends or upside down. This helps prevent the toner particles from settling to one side of the cartridge, which may cause streaks or lines on your printed pages.
Canon instituted the Clean Earth Campaign to recycle used cartridges. To participate in this program, simply follow the instructions packed with your new FX-3 Toner Cartridge. Canon encourages you to return used cartridges to us at no cost to you. For more information about the Canon Clean Earth Campaign, you can call 1-800-962-2708 in the continental United States.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge The actual amount of toner that you use will vary depending on the print density of a page. If the majority of your output is graphics, you may need to change cartridges more often than when you are printing text only. See Appendix A, Specifications, for details on the life expectancy of the toner cartridge. Preparing the Toner Cartridge 1 Remove the new FX-3 Toner Cartridge from its protective bag. ❍ Save the protective bag; you may need to repack the cartridge later.

Printing Problems Problem Cause Solution The ALARM light comes on and the MultiPASS L6000 beeps while printing The MultiPASS may have a paper jam. Clear any paper jams. See page 10-3. Data from computer is not printed The power cord may not be plugged in securely. If you cannot clear the problem, unplug the MultiPASS, wait 15 seconds, then plug it in again. (You will lose any documents stored in memory.
Problem Cause Solution Data from computer is not printed (continued) The MultiPASS L6000 may not be set as the default printer or the selected printer. Make sure the MultiPASS L6000 is selected as the default or current printer. Make sure MultiPASS Background is running. Make sure the MultiPASS Printer Driver is configured to use the computer’s parallel port. See page 2-5. Make sure your computer’s CMOS has the primary parallel port set to LPT1.
Problem Cause Solution Printout does not match paper size Paper may not be loaded and aligned correctly in the multi-purpose tray. Make sure the paper is loaded and aligned correctly. See page 1-9. The application’s page size and margin settings may be incorrect. Make sure the paper size and margin set in your application are correct for the paper in the multi-purpose tray. The selected printer driver may be incorrect. Make sure you select the MultiPASS printer in your application.
Print Quality Problems Problem Cause Solution Print is not clear The paper you are using may not be supported by the unit. Make sure you are using paper that matches the specifications (see page A-1). You may be printing on the wrong side of the paper. Some paper has a right side for printing. If the print quality is not as clear as you would like it to be, try turning the paper over and printing on the other side. Toner may be low or unevenly distributed.
Cause Solution Several sheets load into unit at the same time Paper may not be loaded correctly in the multi-purpose tray. Sheets of paper may be sticking together. Make sure paper is inserted correctly in the multi-purpose tray. Be sure to fan the stack of paper before placing it in the multi-purpose tray. Make sure the paper rest is extended and the paper is stacked correctly in the multi-purpose tray. Do not force the stack into the multi-purpose tray. Load just one type of paper.
Faxing Problems Problem Cause Solution Cannot send a document The MultiPASS may have overheated. Unplug the unit and let it cool for several minutes. Try sending again. The MultiPASS may not be set for the type of telephone line in use (pulse/tone). If you have a pulse line, be sure the MultiPASS is set for pulse dialing. The document may not have been fed correctly into the MultiPASS. Remove the document, stack it, and load it into the ADF correctly (see page 1-12).
Problem Cause Solution Cannot send or receive using Error Correction Mode (ECM) The other party’s fax may not support ECM. Some fax units do not support ECM transmission. If the other party’s fax does not support ECM transmission, then the document is sent in the normal mode without error checking. Errors occur frequently while sending or receiving The phone line may be in poor condition, or you may have a poor connection. Lower the transmission speed.
Problem Cause Solution The MultiPASS does not switch automatically between telephone and fax transmissions The MultiPASS may not be in FaxTel mode. For the MultiPASS to switch automatically between fax and telephone reception, the Receive Mode must be set to FaxTel mode. In the Advanced: Receive Fax options, the “Default Action if No Answer To Telephone” is set to Disconnect. Make sure this option is set to Receive. (See page 8-8). There may be a document in memory.
Problem Cause Solution Print quality is poor You may not be using the correct type of paper. Be sure you are using paper that meets the paper requirements for the MultiPASS (see page A-1). Make a copy on your MultiPASS. If the image is OK, then your MultiPASS is operating properly. Contact the other party and have them check their machine. Make sure Error correction (ECM) is set to on in the Advanced: Receive fax dialog box of the Desktop Manager. The sending party may be having a problem.
Telephone Problems Problem Cause Solution You cannot dial The telephone line may not be connected properly. Be sure the telephone line is correctly connected to the MultiPASS (see your Quick Start Guide). The unit may not be getting power. Make sure the power cord is connected to the MultiPASS and to an AC outlet; make sure the AC outlet has power. If you have a pulse line, be sure the MultiPASS is set for pulse dialing (see page 8-4).
Problem Cause Solution MEMORY FULL The MultiPASS’s memory is full. Print out any faxes stored in memory. Then print one copy at a time. The documents you are trying to print may have too much graphic or detailed information. If nothing is stored in memory, print one copy at a time. appears in the LCD when you are making multiple copies General Problems Problem Cause Solution The MultiPASS has no power The power cord may not be securely plugged into the unit.
Technical Notes Using Other Bi-directional Devices If you have another bi-directional device (such as a Windows Printing System printer or a later-model laser printer) installed on your computer and you are attempting to use the same port on which you have the MultiPASS connected, you may experience undesirable results when printing a document. Be sure the MultiPASS is the only device configured to a particular port. The MultiPASS operates properly only with a dedicated parallel port.
Using Switch Boxes Canon does not recommend using a switch box with the MultiPASS. To use more than one printer, it’s a good idea to add a second parallel port to your computer. If the Power Goes Out If power to the MultiPASS L6000 is cut off, any documents stored in its fax memory will be lost. (The MultiPASS automatically prints a list of the lost documents when power is restored.) Because of this, be sure to print documents stored in memory or resend them as soon as possible.
N 10-28 If there is no paper in the multi-purpose tray when the power goes out, the LCD will display LOAD PAPER and PRINTING REPORT when the power is restored. If this happens, load paper in the multi-purpose tray and wait for the unit to print the Memory Clear Report. You will be unable to send documents or receive faxes in memory until you do this. If you have no paper available and you urgently need to send a document or receive a fax in memory, press the STOP button to enable sending and receiving.
