I have just bought a 2nd hand Canon FAX-L1000 but dint have the m

"canon fax-l1000 super g3 - is it possible to operate this as a printer ?" (sic) I have researched and NO you cannot do that.
The best you could do would be to Fax images.documents from your PC to this machine, that would effectively work, you would need a modem in the PC though, otherwise it will work fine... BUT not as a printer, as such. But you would still have the ability to store and manipulate the documents IN the Fax when received, and may just work, well, but with limitations?
You would simply have to dial the fax from the PC and send it to it, then it would receive,,store and print out as you wished... should/could work just as well as a wifi printer?

Change toner,it may be damage.So you can change.

Lift the cover covering the recieving paper!If u look in here u will c a black handle with a greenish sticker on!Pull that down gently and push it up again untill it clips into place!Good Luck!

Dear friend,
it's very important to connect your MX 300 with the telephone line the right way! Please read once more the part "Preparing the machine for fax" in the chapter "Faxing" of the MX 300 User's Guide and mind the hint "Important: Do not connect the machine and external devices in parallel to the same telephone line using a splitter (A). The machine may not operate properly."

it is supposed to use a separate scanning board (Interface Board-D1) with SCSI connectivity and TWAIN software.

I had the same problem and called canon helpline.

They said to unplug the machine from the mains, then take out the plastic guard where the paper tray is fitted. There is a lever just above the paper tray. Make sure that it is pressed up completely. Then reconnect to mains.

I tried it and it worked.

Just flip the little key cover open on the right hand side of the machine then press "Data Registration" then press "Set" then press "Set" again this will put you on time & date setting if you press "Set" a third time you can now change the settings using the arrows to step around and the numbers to change the settings. Just press "Set" when finished to save your setting & press "Stop" to exit programming mode.
