1. SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE
:USE
Choosing a Suitable Place for Your Fax Machine _______________
Use the following list as a guide to find a suitable place for your fax machine.
_____
The Good Places,,.
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk.
Select a place that is free from vibration and shocks.
Locate it near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet.
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and
should be easily accessible.
And the Bad Places...
Avoid setting it up in a high-traffic area.
Avoid setting up the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators.
Do not select a place that exposes your fax machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture,
or dust.
Do not connect your fax machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory.
Do not connect your fax machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or
other equipment that might disturb the power supply.
Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

FOR YOliR INFORMATION
Multi Line Connections (PBXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to
connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (private branch exchange), we suggest
that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the fax machine for you.
It is advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the
machine in AUTO Answer Mode to receive faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to
connect the unit to the last line on the system. This will prevent the unit from being
activated each time a telephone call is received.
• As with all fax units this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your
line has more than two wires, proper connection of the fax machine can not be
made.
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, or any other custom calling feature on your
telephone line, it may create a problem in operation of your fax unit.
Connecting to a Private Branch Exchange
The following points should be kept in mind if you are installing the machine to work
with a private branch exchange(PBX).
1) It is not guaranteed that the unit wall operate correctly under all circumstances
with PBXs. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that
handles your PBX.
2) If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recom
mended that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. (Seepage 7-1-2.) All incoming
calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3) The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone types.

3. HOW TO USE ON-SCREEN PROGRAMMING (OSP) AND HELP KEY
User-friendly Programming
We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming and a HELP key, user-friendly
programming that help you take full advantage of all the functions your fax machine has to offer.
On-screen Programming (OSP)
Since jmur fax programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen prompt
messages to help you program your fax machine. All you need to do is follow the prompt
instructions as they guide you through the function menu selections and programming options
and settings,
Using the Function Mode to Access On-screen Programming (OSP)
You can access the function mode by pressing FUNCTION found in the Function and User
Setting Area of your fax Control Panel. (See page 2-4.)
When you enter function mode, your fax machine will display a list of Level One Functions to
choose from (see pages 3-2 through 3-6 for these Level One Functions), as seen below.
These function options will appear one after the other on the display. You can then choose one of
these options by pressing SET when your desired option appears on the LCD.
You can also move through the function menu options at a faster rate by pressing (right
arrow). (See page 2-4 to locate this key on your Control Panel.) \%en you find the option you want,
press SET.
You can simply press the Level One Function number associated with each option (refer to pages
3-2 through 3-6).
Helpful Hints If you want to exit function mode, simply press STOP. Also, if you select the
wrong menu, and wish to return to the previous step, press CLEAR.
Alternating Displays for On-screen Programming (OSP)
When you see alternating displays, the LCD will
usually alternate between the currently selected
option, and a help message giving brief instruc
tions on how to proceed. The example shows the
:)
current speaker volume is high and prompts you
to use (left arrow) and (right arrow) to
change the setting, and then to press SET to store
it.

Function Selection Table
If you have a basic understanding of how to program a fax machine, you can perform most of the
