Welcome  
Thank you for choosing the Canon FAX-B150 Bubble JetTM 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.  
The FAX has a number of features that make it ideal for small to medium-sized offices with a single  
telephone line.  
Features  
Plain paper  
The fax accepts A4, letter, and legal size cut-sheet plain paper for crisp reproduction and faxes that are  
flat and easy to write on.  
Automatic switching between fax and voice calls  
The fax recognises incoming fax calls, and automatically switches to receive mode.  
Automatic dialling  
A variety of dialling methods allows you to register frequently used fax numbers and phone numbers  
and access them by pressing one or a few buttons.  
Error Correction Mode (ECM) Tx / Rx  
Automatically helps correct transmission errors due to system and telephone line noise.  
Delayed transmission  
Sends a fax automatically at a later time, for example, at night when telephone rates are lower.  
360 dpi copy mode  
Lets you make copies at 360 × 360 dpi.

PRECAUTIONS  
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.  
Do not place the fax on the edge of a desk so as to prevent received documents falling onto the floor.  
Certain table surfaces may prevent received documents from sliding out smoothly, resulting in paper  
jams. Do not place the fax on these types of tables.  
Do not install the fax near devices which contain magnets or generate magnetic fields.  
Do not subject the fax to strong physical shock or vibration.  
Keep the fax clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the fax from operating properly.  
Before you transport your fax, make sure to remove the BJ cartridge and recover the print head with  
the orange tape. After moving the fax, remove the orange tape and reload the BJ cartridge.  
Others  
Here are some other general precautions when you are using or working around it.  
CAUTION  
Avoid installing your fax in places exposed to direct sunlight, dust, vibration, high temperature or  
humidity, or on unstable surfaces.  
To assure proper electrical contact, make sure the fax is firmly plugged in.  
Never pull on the cord to unplug the fax. Pull on the plug itself.  
WARNING  
Do not overload the electrical outlet where the fax is plugged in.  
Never plug or unplug the fax when your hands are wet.  
For your safety, unplug the fax during electrical storms.  
If you have problems with the fax (smoke, odd smells or noises), immediately unplug the fax  
from the outlet. Keep the area around the outlet free from clutter so you can unplug the fax  
quickly in case of an emergency.  
Never use liquids or drink beverages around the fax. Liquids spilled on the fax can cause a  
fire or electrical shock. If you accidentally spill a liquid on the fax, unplug it immediately and  
call your Canon service representative.  
To avoid electrical shock from exposed power points, never disassemble the fax. There are  
no parts or switches in the fax that require adjustment.

Note  
Test the plain bond paper you intend to use first to make sure printing results are satisfactory.  
Do not use punched or coloured paper.  
Do not use glossy paper.  
Ink drying time will vary depending on the type of paper.  
Using paper other than the above may cause jamming and/or blurred printing.  
j Setting the paper size  
The paper size setting determines the size of the recording paper in the paper tray.  
The factory setting is A4 size. If you want to use a paper size other than A4, you must change the  
PAPER SIZE setting. See FAX PRINTER, p. 86.

Installing the BJ cartridge  
1
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. If the  
majority of your printed output is graphics, you may need to change the ink cartridge more often than  
when you are receiving or copying text only.  
You may need to replace the BJ cartridge when either of the following conditions exist:  
Your printed output is not crisp and clear, and there are gaps in the characters (missing dots) even  
after you have cleaned the print head once or twice and you have removed and reinstalled the BJ  
cartridge.  
You have been using the BJ cartridge for over one year.  
Note  
To ensure optimum print quality, Canon recommends the use of the cartridges designated by  
Canon. Canon accepts no liability or responsibility for damages caused by the use of any  
cartridge other than those designated by Canon.  
Canon makes numerous ink cartridges; the BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge is the only one designed to be  
used with the FAX-B150.

SETTING UP  
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. The ink contains isopropyl alcohol 67-63-0.  
Replace the BJ cartridge after one year of use or if the print is not clear or is missing, even after  
trying five successive head cleanings.  
Never remove the BJ cartridge unless you are going to replace it. When left exposed, the cartridge  
print head dries out, making it unusable.  
Do not touch the print head area on the BJ cartridge. Ink  
may leak out and cause stains.  
Never shake the BJ cartridge, especially after removing the  
protective tape from the print head.  
If spilled, the ink is very difficult to clean. Therefore, always follow the above precautions and carefully  
handle the BJ cartridge.

touch tone is subject to regulatory requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly  
recommended that the equipment is set to use touch tone for access to public or private emergency  
services. Touch tone also provides faster call set up.

Setting up to receive faxes  
1
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).  
Do you want to use your fax as both a telephone and fax, receiving documents automatically and  
ringing only for telephone calls? If yes, choose Fax/Tel Mode (see below).  
Do you want to use your fax mainly as a telephone, and answer every call yourself, whether from a  
person or a fax unit? If yes, choose Manual Mode (see below).  
Do you want to connect an answering machine to your fax and receive the other party’s document  
and also record the other party’s message? If yes, choose Ans. Machine mode (see below).  
How you answer these questions will determine which receiving method you choose. If you are not  
satisfied with the mode you select, you can always change it at any time.  
j Fax Only Mode (See p. 18)  
You may want to use this mode if you have two phone lines in your office, and plan to use one line for  
the fax and the other line for your telephone.  
Set Fax Only Mode if you want to use your fax only to receive faxes automatically and do not intend to  
use it as a telephone.  
j Fax/Tel Mode (See p. 19)  
If you only have one phone line in your office, you may be planning to use it for both fax and  
telephone communication. By setting this mode, you will be able to use your fax for both fax and  
telephone communication using only one phone line. You will need to have the optional handset or an  
extension phone connected to the fax so that when it rings to alert you of a call, you can answer the  
call. The fax will automatically receive faxes without ringing.  
j Manual Mode (See p. 20)  
Use Manual Mode if you receive more telephone calls than faxes. By having a telephone or the optional  
handset connected to your fax, you can answer every call, whether from a person or from another fax  
unit. If you hear a slow beep, simply press [START/COPY] on your fax and hang up the handset to  
receive the fax.  
j Ans. Machine Mode (See p. 21)  
Use Ans. Machine Mode if you have an answering machine connected to the fax. This mode allows you  
to receive not only documents sent from other fax machines, but also messages from people calling  
when you are out.

Special dialling  
This section explains how to dial through a switchboard, dial long distance numbers, register your  
number to an outside line and confirm a dial tone.  
j Dialling through a switchboard (PBX)  
2
A PBX (private branch exchange) is an on-site telephone switchboard.  
If your fax is connected through a switchboard, dial an outside line access number first. Then dial the  
rest of the number.  
If you want to dial with automatic dialling, you may have to insert a pause between the outside line  
number and the telephone number when you register the number for One-touch or Coded Speed  
Dialling. To enter a pause, press [REDIAL/PAUSE].  
When you have to make calls to an outside line or an extension, you may have to press the [R]  
button. Before you can use the [R] button, you have to register it.See p. 40.  
j Long distance dialling  
When you register a long distance number, you may have to insert a pause within or after the number.  
For long distance dialling, the location and length of the pause may differ depending on the telephone  
system. To enter a pause, press [REDIAL/PAUSE]. A pause within a number is 2 seconds long*. The  
length of this pause can be adjusted, see MID PAUSE SET in TX SETTINGS., p. 85. A pause at the  
end of a number is fixed at 10 seconds.  
*
4 seconds long in the UK.  
j Confirming a dial tone**  
When you register a number, you may have to confirm the dial tone in the middle of a facsimile number  
before entering the rest of the number. This is called dial tone detection. When dial tone detection is  
required, press [D.T.]; a small dot (*) appears on the LCD.  
** This feature is ineffective in the UK.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR FAX  
Registering the access type and outside line access  
number  
When the fax is connected to a PBX or other telephone switching system, you can register the access  
type and outside access line number under the [R] button. Once you have registered them, you simply  
need to press [R] before dialling a fax or telephone number. If you register the access type and outside  
line access number under the [R] button, you cannot use the [05] button for One-touch Speed Dialling.

Using alternative telephone  
networks (UK only)  
The fax has a built-in feature that allows you to send documents and make telephone calls with an  
alternative long-distance service, such as the 2300 Service of Mercury Communications Limited. If you  
subscribe to such a service, you can save money on most long-distance and international  
communications.  
The procedures described in this chapter show you how to use your fax with the 2300 Service of  
Mercury Communications Limited. For details on using your fax with alternative telephone services,  
contact your Canon authorised representative.

Setting the resolution and density  
You can control the resolution and density of the fax reproduction when sending or copying documents.  
j What is resolution  
Resolution defines the quality of the document reproduction. STANDARD is enough for most text  
documents. Documents with very fine print should be set to FINE. Documents with photographs should  
be set to PHOTO.

document first (see p. 49).  
STANDARD  
FINE  
STANDARD  
Press [RESOLUTION] until STANDARD  
appears.  
Standard resolution is 3.85 lines/mm.

the document will automatically be scanned in  
FINE mode.  
RESOLUTION  
3
FINE  
PHOTO  
Press [RESOLUTION] until FINE appears.  
Fine resolution is 7.7 lines/mm.  
PHOTO  
To scan documents that contain photos, use the PHOTO setting. With this setting, areas of the  
document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 64 levels of grey, rather than just 2  
levels, black and white. Photo resolution is 3.85 lines/mm. This results in a much better reproduction  
of the photograph.  
j Density control  
You can adjust the scanning density by changing the DENSITY CONTROL setting in the USER  
SETTINGS (see p. 83). For light originals choose the DARKER setting. For dark originals choose the  
LIGHTER setting.

Setting the resolution and density, p. 51.  
Sending methods  
j Direct Sending (See p. 57)  
If your document has a large number of pages, you may sometimes get a MEMORY FULL error if you  
are using Memory Sending. To avoid this, use Direct Sending.  
To send directly, load the document, dial the fax number and press [START/COPY].  
j Manual Sending (See p. 57)  
If you would like to speak with the other party before sending a fax to them, use Manual Sending.  
When sending manually, you dial, converse normally and then press [START/COPY] to begin sending.  
For manual sending, you need to have the optional handset or an extension phone connected.  
j Memory Sending (See p. 59)  
If you do not want to wait for your document to be scanned page by page during sending (Direct  
Sending), use Memory Sending. Memory Sending scans the document into memory, then dials and  
sends the stored image, letting you take away the original immediately after scanning.  
Dialling methods  
There are several methods of dialling the receiving party’s number, depending on how your fax is set up.  
Manual Dialling:  
Dial the recipient’s fax number using the numeric buttons.  
One-touch Speed Dialling:  
Dial a recipient’s fax number that has been assigned to a One-touch Speed Dialling button by simply  
pressing the corresponding One-touch Speed Dialling button (see p. 58).  
Coded Speed Dialling:  
Dial a recipient’s fax number that has been assigned to a Coded Speed Dialling code by pressing  
[CODED DIAL] and the 2-digit code assigned to the number (see p. 58).

SENDING DOCUMENTS  
Memory Sending  
You can use Memory Sending to send your document. With Memory Sending, the fax quickly scans the  
document into memory. Then, after it dials the receiving party, it sends the document from memory.  
This means you do not have to wait for the fax to finish sending before you can retrieve your original  
document.  
You can send up to 21 A4-size pages at a time with Memory Sending (based on the Canon FAX  
Standard Chart No.1- standard resolution).  
If the memory becomes full while scanning your document, MEMORY FULL is displayed on the  
LCD. If this should happen, you may need to open the operation panel to remove the document. See  
Clearing document jams, p. 62. Then try dividing the document into several sections and sending each  
section individually, or send using Direct Sending or Manual Sending. See p. 57.  
The definition of an A4-size page for memory storage purposes is based on the Canon FAX Standard  
Chart No.1.

Network FAX/TEL Switching  
(Australia only)  
Telstra offers the FaxStream DUET 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.

Cleaning the BJ cartridge print head  
To maintain the best possible print quality, the BJ cartridge print head needs to be cleaned from time to  
time. If you notice some degradation in the print quality, try cleaning the print head.  
Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often significantly reduces the  
amount ink in the cartridge.

Print quality problems  
If the printout is unsatisfactory, consider the following suggestions:  
Most paper has a right side and a wrong side. If the print quality is poor, try turning the paper over  
and printing on the other side.  
If characters and images are blurred, check that you are using the correct kind of paper, see p. 7.  
If ink gets on the printer’s platen, the reverse side of the printed page will have smudges. In this case,  
clean the platen area with a soft dry cloth. See p. 101.  
If white streaks or missing dots appear on printed pages, perform the print head cleaning operation.  
See p. 102.  
If the quality is not crisp and clear after cleaning the print head, repeat the head cleaning procedure  
again. If output is still not satisfactory after cleaning the print head five consecutive times, replace the  
BJ cartridge. See p. 103.  
If the following print quality problems occur in the entire printing area, check for the most probable

and the length of time between redialling.  
Switchboard  
Also called a PBX (Private Branch Exchange)  
internal switching system. A telephone system,  
usually for a large company office with many

can quickly call the last number dialled by  
pressing [REDIAL].  
Reduction mode

typeface designs. Resolution values are  
represented by horizontal data and vertical  
data.  
Tone/pulse setting
