Introduction
The multitasking ability of your MultiPASS enables you to perform a number of
operations simultaneously. For example, you can print, scan a document, or make
copies at the same time you are sending or receiving a fax.
The compact size of the MultiPASS makes it ideal for desktop use, and lets you use
it in places where other machines might not fit.
Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager Software
Canon’s MultiPASS Desktop Manager software package allows you to use or
configure the printing, faxing, scanning, and telephone functions of your
MultiPASS directly from your computer.
For more details on using your MultiPASS with the MultiPASS Desktop Manager
software, refer to the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide
. This manual is
in Adobe® Acrobat® PDF format on your MultiPASS C545 Installer CD. You can
open the
Software Guide
from your CD or from the MultiPASS Desktop Manager
folder on your hard disk. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat loaded, simply follow
the instructions to load it on your system.
