Low cost plain paper fax

PaperJet 100

Please open this page for an ‘at a glance’
guide to your PaperJet 100.

Inkjet printing

With high-capacity, easy-to-replace
ink cartridges.

14.4kbps speed

Faster faxing speed saves time and
can mean cheaper fax calls.

SIM Card

Helping to prevent you ever running

out of ink, your PaperJet 100 tells you
when it’s time to buy another ink cartridge. Each
cartridge comes with its own SIM Card. This is
installed along with the cartridge and when the
level of ink gets low, you get a warning message.

9 one-touch buttons and
20 number directory

You can store a name, phone number
and fax number under each location. If a document
is loaded, the fax number is automatically dialled.
If no document is loaded, the phone number is
dialled.

Safety instructions

• Use only the mains lead supplied.

• There is a slight chance that your machine

could be damaged by an electrical storm.
We recommend that you unplug your
PaperJet 100 from the mains power and
telephone line socket during such storms.

• Do not obstruct any of the ventilation holes

on your machine. Allow a free flow of air to
all surfaces.

• Avoid placing your machine in humid

conditions or in direct sunlight. Don’t install
it close to radiators or air conditioning outlets
or in excessively warm, humid or dusty places.

Cleaning

Use a soft cloth dampened with water or diluted

washing-up liquid to wipe the outside. Never use

a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

The handset cord has the same plug at each
end. Plug one end of the handset cord into the
handset.

Plug the other end into the socket marked with a
handset

on the underside of machine and

thread the cord through the channel.

Place the handset on the hook.

Plan the location of your
PaperJet 100

Situate your PaperJet 100 close enough to the
phone and mains power sockets so that the cables
will reach.

Do not stand it on carpets or other similar
surfaces that generate fibres.

1

Connect the handset

If you do not have a modern phone socket, call
Freephone

0800 800 150 and ask for a BT

engineer to come and fit the correct socket.
This is a chargeable service.

If you wish your PaperJet 100 to work with an
answering machine, the answering machine
must be connected at the back of the doubler
plug as shown above (see page 29).

Press the

MODE button until the display

shows the setting you want.

FAX

Your machine automatically answers
incoming calls as faxes. This mode is
used if you want your PaperJet 100 to
receive all calls as fax messages.

AUTO

Use this setting if you want your
machine to answer fax and voice calls
automatically. Your machine answers
all calls after one ring and checks for fax
tones. If none are detected, it is a phone
call. Your caller is put on hold, the
display shows LIFT HANDSET and the
machine rings again (please note that
only the PaperJet 100 machine will
ring, other phones on the same line
will not ring in AUTO mode).

Set the fax operation mode

You can set your PaperJet 100 to work manually,
automatically or with an answer machine.

USING

If you do not lift the handset before the
ringing stops, your PaperJet 100 will
attempt to answer the call as an
incoming fax.

TAD

Use this setting if you are connecting an
answering machine to the doubler plug
see page 29.

Your answering machine answers all calls.
If the PaperJet 100 detects fax tones, it
will stop the answering machine and
receive the fax call automatically.

TEL

Use this setting if you want your
PaperJet 100 to act as a telephone –
faxes are not

received automatically.
You must answer each call by lifting
the handset.

If you hear fax tones, (a beep every
3 seconds) press the

START button and

replace the handset to begin receiving
the fax.

Please note

When your PaperJet 100 is set up and
receiving in TAD mode, you will need to
adjust the TAD RING COUNT so that the

number of rings set on the fax is greater

than the number of rings set on the

answering machine. This ensures that the

answering machine takes the call first.
