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. Wait for five

seconds, then hang up. The MultiPASS C3000 then begins receiving

the document.

Using an Answering Machine—Ans. Machine Mode

Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS C3000 allows you

to receive faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office.

In Answer Machine Mode, the MultiPASS C3000 allows the answering

machine to answer incoming calls, then listens for a fax tone or for four

seconds of silence (also an indication that a fax is coming in), and

automatically receives the fax if it detects the tone or a four-second

silence. (Four seconds is the default; you can change this value.)

N

Canon does not recommend using an “answering service” (like those

offered by local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the

telephone line you are connecting to the MultiPASS C3000. If you do

subscribe to an answering service, you may want to dedicate a separate

line for fax communication only and connect that line to the MultiPASS

C3000. Or, you can see if your telephone company offers a Distinctive

Ring Pattern (DRP) service (see page 5-8 for details).

Using the MultiPASS C3000 With an

Answering Machine

Follow these guidelines when using the MultiPASS C3000 with an

answering machine:

Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.

If the MultiPASS C3000 runs out of paper or ink in Answer

Machine Mode, it receives all faxes into its memory. The faxes then

print automatically when you add paper or replace the BJ cartridge.
