W elcome Thank you for choosing the Canon FAX-B150 Bubble Jet TM facsimile. The compact, upright design of the fax means it takes up less space in your work area. The bubble jet print mechanism uses cut-sheet plain paper, so you get crisp reproductions of your fax documents and copies.
Notice for connection to telecommunication systems in the United Kingdom and the Republic of lreland Approval Number 607721 (UK) Your Canon FAX-B150 has been approved against the requirements of NTR3 for use in the UK and complies with the requirements of 91/263 EEC.
For your safety (Australia only) To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Precautions General Make sure the place where you set up the fax satisfies the following conditions: • Use the fax only within the following range of temperature and humidity ranges. Ambient temperature: 10º to 32.5 Cº Ambient humidity: 10% to 80% RH (no condensation) • Keep your fax out of direct sunlight, as this can damage the unit.
• Place the fax on a level surface. • Do not remove the BJ cartridge from the unit unless it needs to be replaced, or when transporting the fax. Removing the cartridge and leaving the print head unprotected will cause it to dry out and become unusable.

Unpacking As you unpack the fax, save the carton and packing material in case you want to move or ship the unit in the future. Carefully remove all items from the box. ¶ It is best to have someone hold the box while you lift the fax and its protective packaging out of the carton.
If any of these items are damaged or missing, notify your Canon dealer immediately. * The shape of the power cord varies depending on the country of purchase.
Removing the shipping materials Remove the shipping materials as shown below. Be sure to also remove any shipping materials from the paper tray cover and the paper tray.
Assembling the fax To see how the fax looks fully assembled, see Main components of the fax, p. 24. Attaching components j Paper T ray Make sure the paper lever is in the position . Then place the paper tray into the fax, making sure the two knobs fit in the appr opriate slots on the fax.
Attaching the optional handset* * The handset is available as an optional in some countries. 1 Attach the handset cradle. 2 Place the handset on its cradle. Connecting the AC power cord Plug the fax into a 200 240 volt AC 50/60 Hz outlet. 1 Plug the power cord connector into the rear of the unit.
Loading the paper Selecting the right kind of paper The quality of the paper you use affects the print quality of the fax. Using paper that meets the following specifications will ensure the best possible printing results. Quality Use plain bond, typewriter quality without curls, folds, or rough edges.
3 Align the right edge of the paper stack with the right edge of the paper tray and insert halfway into the paper tray . 4 Holding the paper of stack, squeeze and slide the paper guide until it touches the left edge of the stack of paper . Make sure the stack of paper does not exceed the paper limit mark on the right side of the paper tray.
Installing the BJ cartridge The first time you set up your fax, you have to install the BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge before you can begin receiving and copying documents. BJ cartridge guidelines Use only the Canon BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge with the FAX-B150. The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print density of a page.
Handling the BJ cartridge ¶ Leave the BJ cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to use it to prevent it from drying out. ¶ Store BJ cartridges out of the reach of children.
Installing the BJ cartridge 1 Open the front cover of the fax. 2 Raise the green cartridge r elease lever . Make sure the paper thickness lever is set to the paper position (left position). 3 Remove the print head cap from the BJ cartridge. 4 Pull off the pr otective orange tape.
5 Insert the BJ cartridge. Align the slot in the cartridge with the yellow post in the fax. The yellow post (BJ cartridge guide) should be visible through the slot. The BJ cartridge tilts slightly to the left in the loaded position. 6 Lower the cartridge release lever down until you hear a click to lock the cartridge in place.
8 The fax automatically prints a test page. The fax prints a test page every time you insert a BJ cartridge. ¶ You can turn off automatic test printing by changing the AUTO TEST PRINT setting. See SYSTEM SETTINGS, p. 86. TEST PRINT This is a test sheet designed to test the print quality of this unit.
Connecting the phone line Connecting to the wall jack 1 Connect one end of the supplied telephone line to the jack marked on the rear of the fax. 2 Connect the other end of the line to your wall telephone jack. Note ¶ To avoid electrical shock, connect the telephone line to the fax first.
Connecting the optional handset 1 Connect the handset’s modular jack to the handset jack on the fax. Connecting an extension phone or answering machine (optional) 1 Connect an extension phone or answering machine to the jack marked on the rear of the fax.
Setting the TEL LINE TYPE* Your fax is factory set to work with rotary pulse telephone lines**. If you have a tone line, you will need to change the telephone line setting as follows. * TEL LINE TYPE cannot be set in Hong Kong, Norway and Denmark. ** The factory default setting for the UK and Singapore is touch tone.
Setting up to receive faxes Selecting the receiving mode Before you set up the receiving mode on your fax, you should determine how you plan to use your fax: ¶ Are you able to dedicate the use of one telephone line to the fax only to receive document transmissions from other fax machines? If yes, choose Fax Only Mode (see below).
Fax Only Mode The fax is set up at the factory to Fax/Tel Mode. If you have a dedicated fax line, you need to set the mode to Fax Only. j Setting Fax Only Mode When you set the fax to Fax Only Mode, the unit picks up every call and automatically treats it as a fax transmission.
Fax/T el Mode If you only have one phone line in your office, you can set the fax to receive both documents and telephone calls. You need to have the optional handset or an extension phone connected to your fax for this mode. See pp. 14, 15. j Setting Fax/T el Mode The fax is set up at the factory to this mode.
Manual Mode You may want to set your fax to Manual Mode if you want to personally monitor every call, whether from a fax machine or a person. You need to have the optional handset or an extension phone connected to your fax for this mode. See pp. 14, 15.
Ans. Machine Mode Use Ans. Machine Mode if you have an answering machine connected to the fax. By setting this mode, you can receive documents automatically, and messages from people calling when you are out. See p. 15 for details on connecting an answering machine to your fax.
3 Set your answering machine to answer . ¶ The fax allows the answering machine to answer, then listens for a fax tone, and switches to receive mode automatically if it detects the tone. ¶ If the fax runs out of paper or ink, it receives the document and stores it in memory.
