FAX-L250
User’s Guide
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect or DTMF signalling, only the performance
of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore
strongly recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF signalling for access to public or
private emergency services. DTMF signalling also provides faster call set up.
This CE Marking shows compliance of this equipment with Directive 73/23/EEC and Directive
89/336/EEC (as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC), both as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC.

Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the new Canon FAX-L250. The FAX-L250 is a G3 facsimile unit that allows
you to send documents at high speed, in the shortest time possible. We are sure that your FAX-L250
will help meet your fax and phone requirements easily and conveniently, as well as your copying needs.
FAX-L250
1-2
The Main Features of the FAX-L250
The FAX-L250 is a multifunction system for your home or small office. The FAX-L250 combines a
plain paper fax machine, a copier, and a telephone* into a single, convenient desktop unit.
The FAX-L250’s multitasking ability enables you to perform operations simultaneously. For example,
you can make copies at the same time you are sending a fax or receiving a fax into memory.
The compact size of the FAX-L250 makes it ideal for desktop use, and lets you use it in places where
other machines may not fit.
The FAX-L250 includes the following features:
Excellent print quality and speed
The FAX-L250 offers 600 × 600 dpi laser beam printing, providing you with high resolution text and
graphics. The exceptional printing speed of 6 pages per minute allows you to work more effectively.
Simple maintenance
The FX-3 toner cartridge for the FAX-L250 contains both the toner and the drum, making installation
and replacement simple.
Convenient paper handling
The FAX-L250 sheet feeder holds up to 100 sheets** of plain A4, letter, or legal-size paper.
Economy toner-saving printing
The FAX-L250 includes an economy printing mode that uses up to approximately 50% less toner,
resulting in longer cartridge life.
Flexible document feeding
The FAX-L250 includes an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that can be set for automatic
document feed or manual document feed, according to your needs. This allows you to fax a variety of
documents, from multipage documents (up to 20 A4- or letter-size pages, or 10 legal-size pages at a
time), to a single photo or business card.
*Requires the optional handset, a telephone, or an answering machine.

Image Processing System
The FAX-L250 uses Canon’s Ultra-High Quality Image Processing System to provide enhanced
definition in faxed photos.
Error Correction Mode (ECM)
Using the FAX-L250’s Error Correction Mode reduces transmission errors when sending faxes to or
receiving faxes from other fax machines that also have ECM capability.
Automatic switching between fax and voice calls
The FAX-L250 can automatically distinguish between fax calls and normal telephone calls, so that you
can receive both through a single phone line.
Answering machine connection
You can connect an answering machine to the FAX-L250 to let it receive telephone messages and faxes
while you are away from your desk.
Transmission speed
The FAX-L250 uses G3 data encoding methods that increase transmission speed to approximately 6
seconds* per page.
Memory sending/receiving
The FAX-L250 can store up to 90* fax pages (either received or to be sent) in its built-in memory, and
can receive faxes while printing.
Reduced-size printing
The FAX-L250 automatically scales received faxes to fit the size of the paper loaded into the sheet
feeder. So if your client is sending you a fax on paper larger than an A4-size page and you have A4-size
paper in your sheet feeder, the fax will be scaled and printed on A4-size paper.
Automatic dialling and broadcasting
To make faxing even easier, the FAX-L250 provides several automatic dialling methods: coded speed
dialling, one-touch speed dialling, and group dialling. The FAX-L250 also enables you to broadcast
faxes or send faxes at a preset time to as many as 117 locations at once.
*Based on Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1, standard mode

Copier Features
Up to 99 copies
The FAX-L250 can make up to 99 copies of a document at a time, at a rate of up to six copies per
minute.
600 dpi and 300 dpi resolution
The FAX-L250 copies documents at 600 × 300 dpi when using direct copying, and 300 × 300 dpi when
using memory copying.
Copy reduction
The FAX-L250 can reduce copies to 90%, 80%, or 70% of their original size. This allows you to copy
legal-size documents onto A4-size paper, for example.
Telephone Features
Automatic dialling
The FAX-L250’s three automatic dialling methods (one-touch speed dialling, coded speed dialling, and
group dialling) can be used to store phone numbers and fax numbers for easy and efficient calling.
Connection for the optional handset, an answering machine or a telephone
Connecting the optional handset or a telephone to the FAX-L250 allows you to use it to make and
receive normal telephone calls. In addition, connecting an answering machine allows you to receive faxes
and phone messages while you are away from your desk.

Safety Instructions
Read these safety instructions thoroughly before using your FAX-L250, and keep them handy in case
you need to refer to them later.
Except as specifically described in this user’s guide, do not attempt to service the
FAX-L250 yourself. Never attempt to disassemble the unit: opening and removing its
interior covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and other risks. For all service,
contact your local authorised Canon dealer or service centre.
¶Always follow all warnings and instructions marked on the FAX-L250.
¶Use the FAX-L250 only on a sturdy, stable, level surface. If the unit falls, it could be seriously
damaged.
¶Do not use the FAX-L250 near water. If you spill liquid on or into the unit, unplug it immediately
and call your local authorised Canon dealer or service centre.
¶The back of the FAX-L250 includes slots and openings for ventilation. To keep the FAX-L250 from
overheating (which can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), take care not to block
or cover these openings. Do not operate the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface, or
near a radiator or other heat source. Do not place the FAX-L250 in a cupboard or cabinet or on
shelves unless adequate ventilation is available. See ″Choosing a Location for Your FAX-L250″on
page 2-3 for guidelines on how much space the unit needs for ventilation.
¶Operate the FAX-L250 only from the type of power source indicated on the unit’s label. If you are
unsure of the type of power available from your wall outlets, contact your local power company.
¶Make sure the total amperage used by all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the
ampere rating of the outlet’s circuit breaker.
¶Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or place the FAX-L250 where the cord will be
walked on. Make sure the cord is not knotted or kinked.

¶Do not insert objects of any kind into the slots or openings on the FAX-L250’s cabinet, as they could
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, and result in fire or electric shock.
¶Do not allow small objects (such as pins, paper clips, or staples) to fall into the FAX-L250. If
something does fall into it, unplug the unit immediately and call your local authorised Canon dealer
or service centre.
¶Do not plug the power cord into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
¶Always unplug the FAX-L250 before moving or cleaning it.
¶Whenever you unplug the FAX-L250, wait at least five seconds before you plug it back in.
¶Keep the FAX-L250 away from direct sunlight, as this can damage it. If you have to place it near a
window, install heavy curtains or blinds.

Choosing a Location for Your
FAX-L250
Before unpacking your FAX-L250, follow these guidelines to choose an appropriate location for the
unit.
Please review the information provided in ″Safety Instructions″on page 1-9, to make
sure you are installing your FAX-L250 for safe use.
¶Put the FAX-L250 in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place:
+Make sure the area is free from dust.
+Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature fluctuations, and remains between
10° and 32.5°C.
+Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 85%.
¶Keep the FAX-L250 away from direct sunlight.
¶If possible, place the FAX-L250 near an existing telephone outlet, to allow for an easy connection of
the telephone line to the unit.
¶Place the FAX-L250 near an electrical wall outlet that provides 200–240-volt AC (50–60 Hz) power.
¶Do not plug the FAX-L250 into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner, electric
typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can interfere with your
unit’s ability to send or receive faxes.
¶Set the FAX-L250 on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight
(about 8.6 kg).
22222222222222222222222222222

Dimensions
Make sure the location you choose provides enough space around the FAX-L250 for adequate
ventilation, and to allow paper to flow freely into and out of the unit. The figure below shows the
minimum space required for the unit.
If you need help installing your FAX-L250 or have any questions about it, please
contact your local authorised Canon dealer or service centre.

Connecting the Power Cord
Follow these guidelines when connecting your FAX-L250 to a power source:
■The FAX-L250 is intended for domestic use only and requires 200–240 V AC. Do not
use it outside the country where it was purchased.
■Use only the power cord that came with the unit. Using a longer cord or extension
cord can cause the FAX-L250 to malfunction.
■Unplug the unit only by pulling on the plug itself. Never pull on the cord.
■Do not plug the FAX-L250 into an outlet shared with an appliance such as an air
conditioner, computer, electric typewriter, or copier. These devices generate
electrical noise, which can interfere with the operation of the FAX-L250.
■Make sure nothing is laying on the power cord, and that the cord cannot be walked
on or tripped over.
■Do not overload the electrical outlet. Make sure the total amperage used by all the
machines plugged into the outlet does not exceed the ampere rating of the outlet’s
circuit breaker.
■Do not plug the unit into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Connect the power cord as follows:
1Plug the supplied power cord into the power connector on the back of the FAX-L250.
Setting Up Your FAX-L250

2Plug the other end of the power cord into the outlet.
The FAX-L250 has no power switch, so its power is on as long as it is plugged in. Once
connected, though, the unit still needs to warm up before you can use it.
¶While the FAX-L250 is warming up, the message
PLEASE WAIT appears in the LCD display:
¶When the time and receive mode appear, the
FAX-L250 is in standby mode and ready for use:

five minutes.
¶Do not open the drum protective shutter on the cartridge. If the drum surface
is exposed to light and damaged, print quality may deteriorate.
¶Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner
becomes caked in the cartridge, it may prove impossible to free it even by
shaking the cartridge.
¶Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disc drives, and floppy discs.
The magnet inside the cartridge may harm these items.
¶Never touch the drum protective shutter. When holding the cartridge avoid
touching the drum protective shutter with your hands.
¶Do not store the cartridge in direct sunlight.
¶Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes
in temperature. Store the cartridge between 0° and 35°C.

Installing/Replacing the Toner Cartridge
The FAX-L250 uses a Canon FX-3 toner cartridge. The procedure below explains how to install the
cartridge for the first time, and how to replace it when the toner runs out.
When the message CHANGE CARTRIDGE appears, the toner in the cartridge may simply be unevenly
distributed. Before replacing the cartridge, follow the instructions on page 10-28 to evenly distribute the
toner. If after doing this the message remains displayed or the print quality is low, replace the cartridge
as described below.
Canon makes numerous cartridges. The FX-3 toner cartridge has been designed
specially for the FAX-L250 and is the only one Canon recommends that you use.
1Remove any documents and/or printed pages from the unit.
2Make sure the FAX-L250 is plugged in.
3Open the front cover by pressing the release latches on the sides of the unit.
¶Lift the cover forward to its open position.

Testing the FAX-L250
After you have assembled your FAX-L250, installed the toner cartridge, loaded plain paper in the sheet
feeder, you can make sure the FAX-L250 is printing properly by making several copies of a document.
For instructions, see Chapter 8 ″Making Copies″.
Note the following:
¶If the printed sheets are curled as they exit the FAX-L250, remove them from the output slot
immediately to avoid paper jams.
¶Make sure your text or graphics fall within the printable area.
2-36
The Paper Path
Understanding how paper feeds through the FAX-L250 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.
When you are printing, follow these guidelines:
¶Always set the paper delivery selector before starting to print.
¶Do not switch the paper delivery selector until the printout completely comes out of the delivery slot.
Otherwise, a paper jam may occur.
¶Make sure there is enough room for the paper to exit from the face-up delivery slot.
¶Never pull the paper as it comes out of the unit.
¶When using face-up delivery, receive each printout by letting it slide onto your open hand or onto the
table.

Selecting Paper Delivery
Received faxes and copies can be delivered through the face-up or face-down delivery slots. Choose
paper delivery according to the job the FAX-L250 is performing and the type of print media you are
using.
2-38
Face-Down Delivery
Face-down delivery is used for most jobs and when using plain paper only (64 to 90 g/m
2
). Printed
pages are stacked in the order printed in the face-down delivery slot. This slot holds up to 50 sheets of
plain paper (75 g/m
2
).
Move the paper delivery selector up to the mark.

Selecting Paper Delivery
2222222
2-39
Face-Up Delivery
Printed pages come out through the face-up delivery slot in reverse order. Since there is no limit in the
number of pages that can be delivered, this setting is convenient when receiving a large number of faxes,
when making many copies, or when you plan to be away from your office or home for a long period of
time.
Place the FAX-L250 on the edge of a table so that printed pages can come out without blocking the
face-up delivery slot.
1Move the paper delivery selector down to the mark.
When using face-up delivery, make sure that the unit is placed as shown above so that
the pages can drop away from the unit. If you do not place the unit as shown and
prefer to use the extension tray, be sure to remove each page as it is delivered to avoid
blocking the face-up delivery slot.
2Make sure there is enough room for the paper to exit in front of the unit.

When sending documents, you can have your fax number, your name, and the current date and time
printed out by the receiving fax. This information is called your TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification)
and appears at the top of the faxed document in small type.
By identifying the documents you send, the receiving party can recognise your fax messages at a glance.
Here is a sample document with the identifying information:
*If you send a fax using speed dialling, the top line also includes the name registered under the speed dialling button or
code you entered.
You can enter this information into the FAX-L250 by following the instructions on the pages below.

Selecting Automatic/Manual Document Feed
With the FAX-L250, you can select whether you want to scan documents automatically or manually.
Automatic document feeding is used when scanning multipage documents on normal paper. Use manual
document feeding when scanning single-page documents such as photos, business cards, or documents

Setting the Resolution and Contrast
jSetting the Scanning Resolution
Canon’s Ultra High Quality (UHQ™) imaging technology enables you to send faxes with a print quality
that is very close to that of the original document. The FAX-L250 also lets you adjust the resolution it
uses in sending faxes to best suit your particular document.
The FAX-L250 has three resolution settings:
¶STANDARD resolution (203 × 98 dpi) is adequate for most text documents.
¶FINE resolution (203 × 196 dpi) is suitable for documents with fine print (smaller than the print in
this sentence).
¶PHOTO resolution (203 × 196 dpi, with halftones) is for documents that contain photographs.
With this setting, areas of the document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 64 levels
of grey, rather than just two (black and white). This gives a much better reproduction of the photos,
though transmission time is longer.
Set the resolution as follows:
1Press RESOLUTION.
¶The LCD display shows the current resolution
setting.
2Press RESOLUTION until the resolution you
want is displayed.
3Continue with the operation you wish to complete.
¶If you do not proceed with any other operation,
the LCD display returns to standby mode after
about 5 seconds.

jSetting the Scanning Contrast
Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of a printed document.
You can adjust the contrast the FAX-L250 uses when scanning documents to be sent. STANDARD is
the default setting and is adequate for most documents. To darken a light original, set to DARKER;to
lighten dark originals, use LIGHTER.

Sending Methods
jManual Sending via the Handset
Use manual sending via the handset if you want to speak with the other party before sending a fax to
them. With manual sending via the handset, you dial, converse normally and when they are ready to
receive your fax, press the (START/COPY) button to begin sending. See page 5-16 for more details
on manual sending via the handset.
jMemory Sending
Memory sending allows you to send a document easily and quickly. This method of sending scans the
document into memory, and as the first page of a multipage document is being scanned, the FAX-L250
already begins calling the other party and transmitting the information even as the remaining pages are
being scanned.
To use memory sending, you load the document, dial the fax number and press the (
START/COPY) button. See page 5-18 for more details on memory sending.
Since the FAX-L250 is multitasking, you can even scan a document into the memory while sending a
document, receiving a document, or printing a report.
Dialling Methods
There are several ways of dialling the number of the party you want to send to:
¶Regular dialling
Use the numeric buttons to dial the recipient’s fax number.
¶One-touch speed dialling
ress the one-touch speed dialling button (1 to 16) under which you have registered the number you want
to send to. See Chapter 4 ″Speed Dialling″for details on registering and using one-touch speed dialling.
¶Coded speed dialling
Press CODED DIAL and enter the two-digit code (00 to 99) under which you have registered the
number you want to sent to. See Chapter 4 ″Speed Dialling″for details on registering and using coded
speed dialling.

Sending Documents
This section describes the different ways to send faxes with the FAX-L250.
Manual Sending via the Handset
If you have the optional handset or a telephone connected to your FAX-L250, you can send faxes
manually. This allows you to talk to the other party before sending the fax, which can be useful if the
other party uses a single line for both voice and fax transmissions.
Be sure to adjust the document feed lever before loading your document. See page 5-6
for details.
1Prepare the document and load it, face down, into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).
¶Once the document is loaded, the LCD display
shows the following:
¶If necessary, you can adjust the resolution and
contrast. See page 5-13 for details.

Memory Sending
Memory sending is a quick and easy way to send a fax. The FAX-L250 scans the document into its
memory as it dials the fax number. If the line is free, the FAX-L250 begins sending the fax as it scans
the rest of the document.
The FAX-L250 has enough memory to store up to 90 pages (fewer if the document contains many
graphics or particularly dense text).
Follow the instructions below to send a document with memory sending:
Be sure to adjust the document feed lever before loading your document. See page 5-6
for details.
1Prepare the document and load it, face down,
into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).
¶Once the document is loaded, the LCD display
shows the following:
¶If necessary, you can adjust the resolution and
contrast. See page 5-13 for details.
2Dial the other party’s fax number.
¶Use one of the dialling methods described on page 5-15.
¶If you must first dial a digit to get an outside line (″9″, for example), add a pause after that
digit by pressing the REDIAL/PAUSE button, as shown in the example above.

Automatic Redialling with Memory Sending
With memory sending, you can set the FAX-L250 to automatically dial the fax number again if the
receiving fax machine does not answer, if the line is busy, or if an error occurs during sending. You can
also control how many times the FAX-L250 will redial the number, how long it will wait between
dialling attempts, and how much of the fax the FAX-L250 will resend if an error occurs. See ″Setting
Up Automatic Redialling″on page 5-26 for more details.
When automatic redialling is in use, the FAX-L250 alternately displays AUTO REDIAL and the
transaction number while it is waiting to redial.

Network FAX/TEL Switching (New Zealand Only)
Telecom N.Z. offers the FaxAbility capability. If you subscribe to this service, your line is assigned two
numbers: one for fax and one for phone. When the fax number is called, the network sends a specific
ringing tone which your unit recognises and automatically handles as a fax call. If the phone number is
called, a different ringing tone is sent out from the network so that the call is handled as a voice call.
This means that there is no switching delay at the caller’s end.
When you select NET. SWITCH from the RX MODE setting in the RX SETTINGS
menu, the receive mode will be locked on Fax/Tel Mode. You will be unable to change
the receive mode with the RECEIVE MODE button.

jNetwork Switch System Operation
The procedure for using the network switch system is almost the same as when using the unit over a
normal telephone line. When you receive calls, however, the unit will respond slightly differently as
described below.
When you hear the telephone call ring pattern:
Pick up the handset and talk normally. If you hear a slow beep, it means the call is from a fax machine
trying to send a document. Press the (START/COPY) button to receive the document. If you do not
pick up the handset, the unit continues to ring until the other party hangs up. If an answering machine
is connected, it takes over the call.
When you hear the fax call ring pattern (triple ring):
After the unit rings, it receives the document automatically.
If you want to receive a document without a ringing sound:
Make sure that the INCOMING RING setting is set to OFF. See page 12-11 for details.
