Normally you do not need to select a starting speed. When you send a document, the MultiPASS 1000 automatically tries to send at the fastest speed possible (9600 bps). If there is a lot of noise on the line, the MultiPASS 1000 automatically reduces the sending speed for the best transmission.
If you know that the telephone line over which you will be sending has a lot of noise that may interfere with transmission, you will want to set the transmission speed. You can specify one of the following speeds: 9600 bps or 4800 bps.
When you set the starting speed, the MultiPASS 1000 also allows you to select a long distance setting. You can choose from four long distance settings: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Always try setting 1, LONG DISTANCE, first. If you have problems transmitting your documents, you can try the other settings: LONG DISTANCE 2 and LONG DISTANCE 3. Keep trying different settings until you correct the problem.
Choosing 0, LONG DISTANCE 0, turns off the long distance feature.
For details on how to send a document, either confidentially or to a
Canon relay fax machine, see Chapter 10, Special Sending Procedures.
Transmitting the Document
When the MultiPASS 1000 begins sending the document, the LCD displays:
TRANSMIT
❏The MultiPASS 1000 beeps each time it successfully sends the document to a destination.
❏The MultiPASS 1000 automatically redials if a receiving fax does not answer or if the line is busy. (You can specify the number of times it redials; see Auto Redial on page
❏The MultiPASS 1000 erases the document from memory after sending it.
❏If an error occurs during sending, the MultiPASS 1000 beeps intermittently for a few seconds. If this occurs, try sending the document again.
❏To interrupt sending to all destinations you dialed, press STOP. You may need to lift the operation panel to remove the document. If so, be sure to close the operation panel and press STOP again.
❏If the ALARM light is flashing for any reason, correct the problem and then press STOP. If necessary, refer to Chapter 14, Troubleshooting.
