NOTE

Be sure to connect any external device before using your machine.

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
