As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Canon has determined
that the Canon LASER CLASS® 3170 and 3175 meet
the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.
Super G3 is a phrase used to describe the new
generation of fax machines that use ITU-T V.34
standard 33.6Kbps* modems. Super G3 High Speed
Fax machines allow transmission time of
approximately 3 seconds* per page which results in
reduced telephone line charges.
* Approximately 3 seconds per page fax transmission
time based on CCITT/ITU-T No.1 Chart, (JBIG,
Standard Mode) at 33.6Kbps modem speed. The
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) currently
supports 28.8Kbps modem speeds or lower,
depending on telephone line conditions.

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CANON
FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See Appendix A for the
unit’s dimensions and weight.
B. Order Information
1. Only a single telephone line (touch-tone or rotary) is to be used.
2. Order an RJ11-C modular wall jack (USOC code), which should
be installed by the phone company. If the RJ11-C wall jack is not
present, telephone/fax 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 the equivalent. Use one line per unit.
DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line
-if not-
IDDD (International Direct Distance Dial) line if you communi-
cate overseas
Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, e.g.
the 2500 (Touch Tone) or 500 (Rotary/Pulse Dial) telephones. A dedi-
cated extension off a PBX unit without “Call Waiting” can be used with
your facsimile unit. Key telephone systems are not recommended
because they send non- standard signals to individual telephones for
ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.
C. Power Requirements
The facsimile unit should be connected to a standard 120 volt AC, three-
wire grounded outlet only. Do not connect this unit 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 which often interferes with communications
equipment and the sending and receiving of documents.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
*Use of shielded cable is required to comply with Class A limits in

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CANON
FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT
A. Location
Supply a suitable table, cabinet, or desk. See Appendix A: Specifica-
tions for details about unit's weight and dimensions.
B. Order Information
1. Provide only a single line or touch-tone or rotary telephone set
terminated with a standard 4-pin modular phone plug. (Touch-
tone is recommended if available in your area.)
2. Order an RJ11-C modular wall jack (USOC code), which should
be installed by the phone company. If the RJ11-C wall jack is not
present, telephone/fax 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 the equivalent. Use one line per unit.
DDD (Direct Distance Dial) line

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards
such as the 2500 (touch tone) or 500 (rotary/pulse dial) telephones. A
dedicated extension off a PBX without Camp On signals is also permitted
with a fax unit. Key telephone systems are not recommended because
they send non-standard signals to individual telephones for ringing, or
send special codes which may cause a fax error.
C. Power Requirements
The power outlet should be a three-prong grounded receptacle (single
or duplex). It should be independent from copiers, heaters, air condi-
tioners or any electrical equipment that is thermostatically controlled.
The rated value is 120 volts and 15 amperes. The RJ11-C modular jack
should be relatively close to the power outlet to facilitate installation.

NOTICE
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certifica-
tion means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications
networks protective, operational and safety requirements. The Depart-
ment does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permitted
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.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminal allowed to
be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the require-
ment that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Number of all the devices
does not exceed 5.
The REN of this equipment is 0.3.
Even if the dual-line option is installed, the REN is applicable to each
port.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Cana-
dian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunc-
tions, 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.

Laser Safety
This fax complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser
product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the fax does
not produce hazardous radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the fax is completely confined within
protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape
from the machine during any phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on
August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured
from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in
the United States.
USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF
PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED IN THIS USER’S
GUIDE MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
The label is attached to the laser scanner unit inside the fax and is not in
a user access area.

Chapter 1
Welcome !
Thank you for purchasing the new Canon LASER CLASS® 3170 Series.
This new facsimile unit with its features and options, and greater flexibil-
ity enabled by full support of ITU-T subaddress/password sending and
receiving, will help you expand your work capacity and efficiency.
This Facsimile User’s Guide shows you how to get the most out of your
new facsimile unit. Whether you are sending a quick memo to the home
office on the other side of town or automatically receiving from a branch
overseas or across the country, this book shows you how to do it all
quickly and easily.
Take a few minutes to browse through this User’s Guide so you know
what it contains. You do not have to read it all at once from cover to
cover.
We have done our best to give you an accurate, easy-to-use User’s Guide,
but if you still have some questions about how to use your facsimile unit,
feel free to contact your local authorized Canon dealer sales or service
representatives. They will be glad to answer your questions.
Model LASER CLASS® 3170 is used for illustration purposes in this
manual. When there is any difference among three models, it is clearly
indicated in the text, e.g., “LASER CLASS® 3170MS only.”

Main Features
Improved speed
Your fax unit is equipped with the ITU-T standard
V.34 mode which enables transmission speeds up to
33,600 bps, more than double the rate of older G3 fax
models.
Ultra High Quality (UHQ) image
Canon’s ultra-high quality image processing produces
excellent reproductions in documents you send and
copy.
Full support of ITU-T subaddresses and passwords
You can employ ITU-T subaddresses and passwords
to communicate not only with other Canon faxes, but
fax machines of other manufacturers as well.
Laser beam printer
Quiet, clean laser technology guarantees quality
reproduction.
Large paper capacity
A large paper capacity means less time spent loading
paper in the paper cassettes. The MP (Multi-Purpose)
tray holds a stack of up to 100 sheets. Paper Cassette 1
holds 500 sheets, for a total of 600 sheets. Paper
Cassette 2, available as an option for the LASER
CLASS® 3170/3170MS and standard for the LASER
CLASS® 3175, holds another 500 sheets for a total of
1100 sheets. All cassettes and the MP tray can be
adjusted to fit a variety of standard paper sizes, and
are easy to access and re-fill.

Automatic dialing
Includes One-touch and Coded Speed Dialing,
Directory Dialing, as well as Group dialing which
allows you to send the same document to several
destinations at the touch of a button.
Variety of send and receive features
Includes multiple broadcasting, polling, relay sending
and receiving, and confidential mailbox sending and
receiving.
ECM send and receive
ECM (error correction mode) reduces errors during
sending and receiving on noisy or poor quality
telephone lines.
Receiving in memory when you run out of paper or
toner
If you run out of paper or toner while you are
receiving a document, the fax unit continues to
receive by putting the remainder of the document in
the fax memory so you can print it out after you refill
the paper cassette or replace the toner cartridge. A
memory backup function also safeguards the contents
of the memory for approximately 12 hours after a
power failure.
Delayed sending
Scan a document into the memory and set for sending
at a later time so you can take advantage of holiday or
late night telephone rates.
Dual access
Even while you are sending or receiving a document,
you can continue to use the fax to register information
with the fax or record documents into the memory.

Quick-on-line TX
Before the fax is finished scanning a long document, it
will start dialing and sending the pages that are
already scanned. By the time the last page is scanned,
the document transmission is well under way.
Easy to use
A larger display and operation panel with larger
buttons makes the fax easier to use.
Economical and quiet
Canon’s RAPID Fusing System™ realizes quiet opera-
tion while you save money. If the fax machine remains
idle for a specified length of time, the fax machine
automatically shuts itself down and enters the low
energy sleep mode, and will remain in this low energy
mode until the fax machine receives a document
transmission or until you press the Energy Saver button.
Better security with PIN Codes
For PBXs (private branch exchanges) that require PIN
(Personal Identification Number) codes to acquire an
outside line, you can now turn on the PIN code
feature with a user software switch included with the
user data settings. For better security, the PIN codes
are not displayed on the LCD display during dialing
(only a “C” appears), and they do not appear in
printed activity reports.
Expanded transaction features
You can create up to 50 private memory boxes and set
them up to receive documents. If the other party’s fax
can use ITU-T subaddresses and passwords, you can
set up and use memory boxes even if the other party’s
fax unit is not a Canon fax.

JBIG, Improved image data compression
JBIG is a new ITU-T standard image data compression
method. JBIG's compression method allows data to be
compressed more efficiently* than MMR, a conven-
tional compression method. JBIG is especially effec-
tive when transmitting halftone image documents.
Because the smaller data size requires less transmis-
sion time, JBIG saves you time and money.
*Actual compression ratio may vary with image.
Super G3 is a phrase used to describe the new
generation of fax machines that use ITU-T V.34
standard 33.6Kbps** modems. Super G3 High Speed
Fax machines allow transmission time of
approximately 3 seconds** per page which results in
reduced telephone line charges.
** Approximately 3 seconds per page fax transmission
time based on CCITT/ITU-T No.1 Chart, (JBIG,
Standard Mode) at 33.6Kbps modem speed. The
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) currently
supports 28.8Kbps modem speeds or lower,
depending on telephone line conditions.

Read this section before you register numbers for speed dialing, espe-
cially if your site has special dialing requirements like dialing through a
PBX.
Entering Pauses for Dialing
If your fax is connected to a switchboard or PBX (private branch ex-
change), you may have to dial a number to connect to an outside line. The
outside number must also be registered with the fax number. The switch-
ing system may also require that you insert a pause after the outside
number. For further assistance, contact your local authorized Canon dealer
sales or service representative or your local telephone company.
Follow this procedure to enter a pause during regular dialing or when
registering a number for a speed dialing button.

What is Speed Dialing?
Speed dialing allows you streamline and customize dialing procedures
by registering a telephone number and other important settings so you
can start a document transmission while pressing only a few buttons.
The three methods of speed dialing include:
One-touch Speed Dialing
One-touch Speed Dialing allows you to start a document transmission by
pressing only one button. You can register up to 72 destinations for One-
touch Speed Dialing. The first group of buttons numbered 1 to 25 are on
the operation panel. Open the first panel to see buttons 26 to 50, then the
second panel to see the last set of buttons 51 to 72.
Coded Speed Dialing
Coded Speed Dialing allows you to start a document transmission by
pressing the Coded Dial button followed by a three-digit code of your
choice. While Coded Speed Dialing requires you to press more buttons, it
allows you to register up to 128 numbers.
Group Dialing
Group Dialing allows you to dial a group of registered One-touch or
Coded Speed Dialing fax numbers. By registering each group for One-
touch (or Coded Speed dialing) buttons, you press only one (or four
buttons) to send the same document to several locations.

Here are some important points you should keep in mind when
you use Group Dialing:
❏To start scanning immediately, press Start/Scan. Otherwise the
fax will wait 5 seconds before it starts scanning. This timeout
feature can be turned off. (➞16-11)
❏The fax will not dial the numbers for the Group Dialing
number until you set the document on the fax. If you press the
One-touch Speed Dialing button or press Coded Dial followed
by a three-digit code, before you load the document, the fax
will prompt you:
SET DOCUMENT
❏If you press a One-touch Speed Dialing button, or press Coded
Dial followed by a three-digit code, where no number has been
registered, the fax will display:
NO TEL#

If you want to cancel the transmission after you press a One-touch
or Coded Speed Dialing button, press Stop.
When you register a number for One-touch Speed Dialing, Coded Speed
Dialing and Group Dialing, you can, as an option, set the time you want
your document to go out (up to 5 different times in a day). If you are
using a speed dial button that was set by someone else, and you would
like your document to go out at the preset time, verify if the preset time
feature is being used for that button. (➞4-9, 4-18, 4-27, 16-34)

Preparing the Document
Follow these simple guidelines to check your document before you set
the document on the fax for copying.
❏For best results, load only documents of recommended standard size
and weight. Refer to Appendix B. (➞B-1)
❏The document guides on the document feeder tray can be adjusted
to the width of non-standard size paper. For best results, however, all
sheets in the stack should be of the same width.
❏Although the document guides on the document feeder tray indicate
11 × 17 in. size and such a document can be set on the document
feeder tray, the effective scanning width is up to B4 size (10 in.).
❏To avoid document jams, never feed thick documents or documents
backed with carbon paper.
❏To avoid document jams and possible damage to the fax, avoid
wrinkled or creased paper, carbon paper, curled paper, coated paper,
and onion skin or other very thin paper.
❏The fax does not scan completely to the edges of the paper and
anything beyond this recommended margin will not be scanned for
copying. See Appendix B and check your document. (➞B-2)
❏To avoid paper jams or damaging the fax, inspect the document
carefully and make sure it is free of pins, staples, paper clips, and
other metal fasteners.
❏Make sure all the documents are dry. They should not have wet ink,
glue, or paste on their surfaces.
❏Before you feed a stack of documents into the fax, make sure all the
pages are the same size and thickness. Do not attempt to feed
documents of mixed sizes and thickness in the same stack.

Direct Sending
The fax dials the number, connects the call, and then scans and sends the
document one page at a time. Direct sending is slower than memory
sending, but because this method bypasses memory you can send a
document ahead of other documents stored in the memory.
SEND
❏Direct sending scans and sends each page one at a time.
❏With direct sending you can watch each page as it is scanned and
sent.
❏Although direct sending is slower than memory sending, you can
use direct sending when you need to send an urgent document
ahead of other documents stored in the memory.
❏You can also use direct sending when the memory is full and there is
no space to hold another document in memory.

Re-dialing When the Line is Busy
If the other party’s line is busy or if there is no answer, the fax waits two
minutes and then dials the same number again. This feature is called
automatic redialing.
What is Automatic Redialing?
After the initial dial attempt, the fax will wait two minutes and try to dial
again. If the second attempt fails, the fax will again wait for two minutes
and make a final attempt to complete the call.
Even if the fax machine is set to redial several times, it will redial only
once if there is no tone or there is a ring back tone during the first
attempt.
Auto redial can be turned off and on. The number of redialing attempts
and the time interval between attempts can be set up with the auto redial
feature. (➞6-20, 16-11)
While the fax is waiting to redial, the following messages are displayed

automatically. During receiving a series of brief messages report the
progress of the reception by displaying the transaction number, name
and telephone of the caller, and the transmission mode.
•If you install the handset and you don't want the fax to ring when the
other party sends to you, turn the ringer volume switch to OFF.
•If you have installed the optional Dual-line Upgrade Kit, when the fax
unit receives a document on Line 2 it will switch to automatic receiving
regardless of whether the Manual RX lamp is on or off. (➞2-56)

Receiving Documents Manually with the
Optional Handset
When you use manual receiving, this means you can monitor all incom-
ing calls yourself by picking up the handset every time the fax rings. If
you pick up the handset and determine the call is from another person,
start your conversation. If you hear a slow beep tone, this means the call
is a fax transmission. To receive the document, just press Start/Scan and
then hang up the handset.
The receiving speed is 14400 bps or less when receiving manually.

Transferring Documents
The transfer mode tells the fax to receive documents and then transfer
them automatically to a fax at your home or at another work site. The
day and time for the fax unit to switch to the transfer mode can be preset.
This feature is especially convenient for receiving important documents
coming from countries overseas several time zones removed from your

Before You Set Up Document Transfer
Note these important points before you create a transfer setup file:
❏You can create only one transfer setup file.
❏In order for the fax unit to transfer documents to a destination you
must enter the destination telephone number of the fax unit with a
speed dialing button. This means the destination fax unit must be
registered on the fax for a One-touch Speed Dialing button or a
Coded Speed Dialing code. (➞4-6, 4-15)
❏You can set the fax to transfer documents only from selected origina-
tors. In order to select an originator, you have to register the tele-
phone number of the originator’s fax unit on your fax unit for a One-
touch Speed Dialing button or a three-digit Coded Speed Dialing
code. (➞4-6, 4-15)

Setting Up and Using a Memory Box
In this section we will show you how to set up a memory box and use it
to send and receive documents. A memory box is a location in the
memory you can create to store scanned or received documents for
printing or transmitting to other destinations. The main advantage to
using the memory box for sending and receiving is that you can handle
all transmissions with ITU-T passwords and subaddresses.
The ITU-T subaddress and password serve the same purpose as the bank
account number and a personal identification number on your bank
card. Just as you cannot complete a bank transaction without your
account number and your personal identification number, you cannot
complete a memory box facsimile transaction if the subaddress and
password do not match.
A subaddress or password can be up to 20 digits long and consists of
numbers, *, #, or spaces.

Before you set up a memory box, there are a few things you should know
about the other party’s fax machine to ensure efficient transactions.
You have to know how the other party is using the subaddress and
password:
❏If the other party has set a subaddress and password, you must
register both a subaddress and password for the memory box.
❏If the other party has set a subaddress only, then you must also
register a matching subaddress.
❏If the other party has set a password only, inform them that they
must register a subaddress, or a subaddress and password. Both fax
units must register an ITU-T subaddress.
For the most efficient use of the memory box, register the numbers of all
parties who will be receiving your documents or sending you documents
for a One-touch or Coded Speed Dialing number.

This is a brief summary of what to do when you create or change settings

SET BOX A two-digit code (00-99) you assign to the box to select it
when you need to scan documents into the box or to open it to view or
change the settings. The box number and file name appear in printed
reports for reference.
PASSWORD If you set a password when you create the memory box
(below 2.PASSWORD), you will have to enter the password to view or
change the rest of the settings afterwards.
Main Settings
1.FILE NAME A personal name you can assign to the memory box to
identify it in printed reports.
2.PASSWORD A four-digit password you assign to the memory box to
protect the settings from unauthorized access. You must also use this
password and the box number to print documents stored in the memory
box. Assigning a password is optional, but strongly recommended,
especially if you want to keep the memory box setup and the documents
you receive confidential.
3.SUBADDRESS This is the ITU-T subaddress.
4.TX PASSWORD This is your TX password. TX password is only for
polling sending. Your TX password must match the ITU-T password
with which the other party calls you. If they do not match the other party
will not receive your document.
5.RX PASSWORD This is your RX password. Your RX password must
match the ITU-T password assigned to documents that you receive. If the
passwords do not match, your fax will not receive the document.

What Happens to Memory after a Power Failure
If power to the fax is lost due to a power failure, or if the fax is acciden-
tally unplugged, a built-in battery keeps a trickle of current supplied to
the memory so all the documents currently stored in the memory can be
saved for up to approximately 12 hours.
How Your Registered Data Is Protected
This is what happens when the fax is disconnected:
❏The backup battery takes over and keeps a trickle of current flowing
to the memory in order to preserve all the documents in the memory
waiting to be sent or printed.
❏However, if the fax is left off for longer than approximately 12 hours,
all documents in the fax memory will be lost after the battery runs
down, and as soon as power is restored to the fax a Memory Clear
Report is printed that shows you what documents were erased.
(➞14-20)
❏Because your user data and speed dialing settings are constantly
refreshed by a lithium battery, they will not be lost as a result of a
power failure, even if power to the fax is cut off for longer than
approximately 12 hours.
❏When many documents are stored in the fax memory, the fax may
need about 2 minutes to recover after power is restored to the fax.
About the Backup Battery
Here is a list of things to keep in mind about the backup battery.
❏The backup battery that preserves document data in the memory for
up to 12 hours in case of a power loss is a rechargeable battery, and it
requires about 1 day to reach full charge after power to the fax unit is
restored.
❏Frequently disconnecting the fax unit from the power source short-
ens the service life of the battery.

8-28 Using the Memory Features Chapter 8
LASER CLASS 3170 Series.
CFYA/YAH/YAN 120v US V1.0
❏To avoid shortening the backup battery service life, use the fax
within a temperature range of 50°F to 90.5°F (10°C to 32.5°C). If the
fax is used in an environment that is too hot or too cold, this can
shorten the service life of the backup battery.
❏If the backup battery cannot preserve data even after you plug in the
power source and the fax is left on for 1 day (24 hours), call for
service and have the backup battery replaced.

What is Relay Broadcasting?
In a relay broadcast, the originator fax unit sends a document over a long
distance to another fax called the relay unit. After the relay unit receives
your document, it automatically sends the document to several other fax
units in the local area. In this way you can send a document to several
fax units in the same locality with only one long distance transmission.
Originator
Relay Unit
In a relay network your fax unit can function as both an originator and a
relay unit. When your fax unit is the originator, it sends a document to a
relay unit from which the document is relayed to several destination in
the same locality. When your fax unit is the relay unit it receives a docu-
ment from another party and relays it to one or several other faxes in
your own locality.

Setting Up and Using a Standard Relay Unit
In this section we will show you how to set up and manage a relay
network with the standard relay features provided on the fax.
Before you set up your fax to relay documents from the originator fax
unit, confirm the following points:
❏Make sure your unit telephone number is correctly registered.
(➞3-13, 14-5)
❏Make sure the telephone number of the originator fax unit is regis-
tered on your fax for a speed dialing button. (➞14-2)
❏After your fax receives the document from the originators it will
relay the document to one or several destination units. Make sure the
telephone numbers of all the destination units are registered on your
unit for speed dialing buttons. (➞14-2)
❏Ask the originator if they would like to receive a report of successful
transmission after your fax relays the document.
❏Make sure the relay feature on your fax is turned on.
Follow the procedure in this section to set up your fax as a relay unit.
When your fax is the relay unit, it receives the document from the
originator and relays it to several other destinations.

Sending a Document to a Relay Unit for
Relay Broadcasting
Follow this procedure to send a document to a relay unit.
In this procedure your fax is the originator.
Before you send a document to another fax for relay broadcasting,
confirm the following points on your fax:
❏Make sure your own fax unit telephone number is correctly regis-
tered. (➞3-13, 14-5)
❏Enter a subaddress.

CFYA/YAH/YAN 120v US V1.0
Before you send a document to another fax for relay broadcasting,
contact the other party and confirm the following points about their fax:
❏The relay unit must support ITU-T subaddress/password transac-
tions.
❏If you want a relay transmission report sent back to your fax from
the relay unit, instruct the relay unit to turn this feature on when
they set up the relay function on their fax.
❏Make sure the relay unit has registered the telephone numbers of all
destinations for the speed dialing buttons of the relay unit.
❏Make sure you have the correct subaddress for the other party’s fax.
❏Confirm that the subaddress you have been given has been used to
set up the other party’s fax as a relay station. Your fax cannot confirm
whether or not the other party’s fax has been set up properly as a
relay unit.
❏If an ITU-T password is set on the other party’s fax you must send
the document with a password. Otherwise, the other fax will not
receive your document.
After the relay fax is set up to participate in a relay network, it should
receive and relay documents automatically. By following the initial setup
procedures in the previous section, the relay fax unit can be set to
confirm the identity of the originator before sending and to send a relay
transmission report to the originator after your fax unit requests the
other unit to relay a document.
When your fax unit is the originator of a relay transmission with this
method, it does not check to ensure that the fax to receive and relay the
transmission is set up properly for relay transmission. Even when the fax
is not set up to relay your documents, your fax unit reports such a
transmission as a successful relay transmission. Make sure the relay unit
is set up correctly to relay documents that it receives from your fax unit.

Sending a Document to a Relay Unit with Speed Dialing
You can register a telephone number for relay sending under a One-
touch or Coded Speed Dialing button.
Check these points before you send a document to another party for
relay:
❏Contact the other party and ask for the ITU-T subaddress and
password they are using for receiving documents to relay.
❏The other party’s fax unit does not have to be a Canon fax unit, but
make sure the other party’s fax unit supports the use of ITU-T
subaddresses and passwords.
❏Perform the procedure to register a telephone number for One-touch
or Coded Speed Dialing. (➞4-6, 4-15) If the speed dialing buttons are
already set up, perform the procedure to change the One-touch or
Coded Speed Dialing settings. (➞4-6, 4-15)
❏When you do the speed dialing settings, turn on the OPTIONAL
SETTING feature and select TX TYPE. Select ORIG RELAY TX and
then set the ITU-T subaddress and password. (➞4-11, 4-21) Confirm
that the other party is set up properly to relay documents received
from your fax. Your fax cannot confirm whether or not the other fax
has been set up properly for relaying a document sent from your fax.

This chapter shows you how to send and receive confidential docu-
ments.
A confidential document is a document that does not print as soon as it is
received. The receiving party must use a password to unlock his or her
mailbox in order to print the document. Use confidential sending and
receiving for documents that you want only the person with the correct
password to read.
You cannot use the conventional Canon confidential mailbox feature.

LASER CLASS 3170 Series.
CFYA/YAH/YAN 120v US V1.0
What is Polling?
Polling means a fax calls another fax and requests that the other fax send
a document that it is holding. Unlike normal sending and receiving, in
polling the receiver always calls the sender. This is called polling to
receive a document. The sender sends the document in response to the
polling by a telephone call from the receiver.
Your fax can be set up to function in both roles. Your fax can poll to
receive a document, or it can be polled to send a document that it is
holding.
Before You Use Polling Receiving
Before you try to set up polling, note the following points:
❏With one operation you can poll several faxes. You can dial up to 210
telephone numbers and poll those faxes to receive documents that
they are holding.
❏You can poll a document at any time, but you may find it more
useful to set your fax for polling other faxes at specified times
throughout the day. (➞11-5)
❏You must know if the other fax is holding the document under both
a subaddress and password or only a subaddress or password. You
must also know the subaddress and password so you can enter them
on your fax. If you do not know the subaddress or password, contact
the other party.
❏If the other party's documents are registered for polling without a
subaddress or password, you can still perform polling receiving.
❏If the other party's fax does not support ITU-T subaddress/password
transactions, you can ask them to set the polling ID to 255 or 1111
1111 binary when the other party's fax machine is a Canon fax.

subaddress.
❏If the other document is holding the document under both a
subaddress and password, then you must poll the fax with
both a matching subaddress and password.
Polling to Receive at a Preset Time
Follow this procedure to set the fax to poll another fax at a preset time.
Polling faxes at preset times allows you to conduct document transac-
tions later at night when the telephone rates are lower.
Before you set up polling at a preset time, make sure you have per-
formed the following tasks:
❏The numbers you want to register for dialing must be registered for
One-touch or Coded Speed Dialing buttons. (➞4-6, 4-15)
❏When you register the One-touch or Coded Speed dialing button,
you must turn on OPTIONAL SETTINGS and set the TX TYPE for
POLLING RX when the other party set subaddress/password, you
have to register an ITU-T subaddress and/or password for the speed
dialing button. (➞4-12, 4-21)
❏If you have to poll a number that you use regularly, you should
register it once again for another speed dialing button so you can set
the ITU-T subaddress and/or password to match the polling box of
the other party’s fax and register the second number for preset
polling.

Setting Up Polling Sending
This section shows you how to set up your fax to store and hold a
document until it is polled by another fax to send it.
Before You Can Be Polled to Send
Before you set up your polling box, contact the parties who are going to
poll your fax to receive documents and confirm the following points:
❏The other parties must know your ITU-T subaddress number.
❏If you are also using an ITU-T password for the polling box, they
must also know this password. This password setting is optional.
❏Your TX PASSWORD must match the ITU-T password attached
when the other party calls you. Confirm that the TX PASSWORD on
your fax matches the ITU-T password attached when the other party
calls you.
❏If the other party’s fax does not support ITU-T subaddress/pass-
word transactions, you may be able to use the polling box #00.
Setting Up a Polling Box
Before you can use polling sending, you must create a polling box with
the File settings. The polling box holds the document in the memory
until the other party polls your fax to send the document.

Using Memory Lock
Normally a document prints as soon as you receive it. However, there
may be occasions when you want the fax to store all documents in the
memory until you are ready to print them. Locking the fax to receive and
store all documents in the memory is called memory lock.
You may want to turn the memory lock on when the fax is left
unattended at night or over long holidays to prevent a large volume of
printed documents from collecting on the paper output tray. After you
return to the office, you can review the contents of the memory and then
enter the memory lock password to print all the documents stored in the
memory.
Setting a Time and Password for Memory Lock
After the memory lock is turned on, the fax will automatically enter and
leave the memory lock mode at times you specify. The documents
received when the fax is in the memory lock mode are stored in the
memory until you unlock the memory with a password and print them.
Follow the procedure below to define a memory lock password and set
the times for the fax to enter and leave the memory lock mode.

Setting Up and Using PIN Codes
PIN (Personal Identification Number) codes prevent unauthorized
personnel from making calls. To protect privileged access to the tele-
phone lines, only authorized users are entrusted with the PIN codes for
daily operations. Some Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems require
that a PIN code be entered when dialing a number to make a call or send
a document by fax. Depending on the requirements of the PBX system,
the PIN code may be entered either before the number as a prefix, or
after the number as a suffix.
If your PBX requires a PIN code to connect to an outside line, the fax
machine can be set up with the USER DATA SETTINGS to prompt you
for a PIN code every time you dial.

Handling Cartridges
❏Do not remove the toner cartridge from its protective bag until you
are ready to install it.
❏Save the protective bag. You may need it later to re-pack the car-
tridge temporarily to protect it from exposure to light.
❏Never expose a toner cartridge to direct sunlight, and do not leave it
exposed to normal room light (about 1,000 lux) for longer than 5
minutes.
❏There are strong magnets inside a toner cartridge. To avoid possible
destruction of valuable data on disks or other media, keep the toner
cartridge away from computer screens, hard disks, floppy disks, or
any other kind of material sensitive to magnetic fields.
❏Never touch or try to open the protective shutter that protects the
light-sensitive drum inside the toner cartridge. If the drum is ex-
posed to light, this can cause printing quality deterioration.
❏Handle the toner cartridge with care. Do not subject it to shock or
vibrations.
