To fit a new print head

You can buy a ready assembled ink cartridge and print head and install it as shown in the Setting Up section.

To fit a new ink cartridge

It is less expensive to simply replace the ink cartridge. One print head should last for eight ink cartridges.

• Open the printer cover.

1 Pull back the clip on

the side of the print head to release the ink cartridge and remove it from the print head.

2 Remove the protective

film from the nozzle of the new ink cartridge and push it into the print head until it clicks into place.

Close the printer cover.

The DF450 will automatically test and clean the print nozzles, and then generate a test print-out containing a graduated scale, graphic images and text. Following the print-out, the display will show

CHECK PRINT OUT.

If the graduated scale is uninterrupted and the dark areas do not contain white lines, the print quality is to be considered satisfactory. If not, repeat the procedure.

• Press 1 if the test print is acceptable.

• Press 0 to repeat the test.

If the print head is still unsatisfactory after a number of tests, replace the printhead.

The ink cartridge is located inside the print head. The print head does not need to be removed while changing the ink cartridge.

If you encounter a problem and your DF450 will not respond to any button presses, turn the power switch off for ten seconds. Turning the power back on will reset your DF450 to standby mode. Your personalised settings and memorised numbers will be maintained.

Document memory

If your DF450 runs out of ink or paper while receiving a fax, the document will continue to be received and stored in your DF450’s memory, to be printed out when ink/paper is replenished. No further documents can be received until the ink/paper is replenished and the documents stored in the memory have been printed. The maximum storage capacity is about ten pages of the industry standard test sheet (shown on page

39).

The capacity may be less depending on the document content.

In the event of power failure, the data retained in the document memory will be maintained for several hours.

Print cartridge life

The replacement ink cartridge contains sufficient ink to produce 500 copies of the industry standard test sheet (shown on page 39, which has about 6% black on white coverage of an A4 sheet).

If your average black on white coverage exceeds this standard then, the number of printed sheets will be reduced.

Choosing a position

Your DF450 should be kept clear of dust, moisture, high temperature and vibration and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Don’t install it close to radiators or air-conditioning outlets or in excessively warm, humid or dusty places.

Warning

The apparatus is only designed to be operated in a normal office or domestic environment where the relative humidity does not exceed 60%. It should not be used in bathrooms or near water.

Connecting to the UK network

DF450 is tested and approved for connection to the UK network, provided that it is used in accordance with the guidelines in this booklet.

Approval number

BABT Certificate Number/Approval Number for the DF450 503727 APPROVED for connection to telecommunication systems specified in the instructions for use subject to conditions set out in them. CE compliant to 89/336/CEE (EMC Directive)

Approval for use

This apparatus has been approved for use with the following facilities: Storage of telephone numbers for retrieval by a predetermined code. (If problems occur, verify stored number). Automatic call initiation. Use on a PBX which returns secondary proceed indication. Operation in the presence or absence of initial or secondary proceed indication. Automatic dialling facilities. Automatic storage of last number dialled. Automatic repeat attempt facilities. Auto clear from the originating end. Series connection facility. Call progress monitor.

You may connect it:

• to direct exchange lines:

• to extensions with new plug and socket arrangements provided with these direct exchange lines;

• to compatible switchboards.

You may NOT connect it:

• to shared service (party) lines.

The connection to the telecommunication system must be unplugged before the earth is disconnected. The connection to the telecommunication system must not be hardwired.

This apparatus may be used on telecommunications systems employing loop disconnect or MF signalling.

Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the apparatus if, as a result, it then ceases to conform to the standards against which approval was granted.

How many phones you can have

Your exchange line provides only a small current to make your telephone ring. Although you may have any number of sockets it is important to limit the number of telephones and other items of apparatus connected to the line by these sockets. This ensures that each telephone will receive enough current to ring.

Every telephone or item of apparatus has a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

In most cases a standard line should provide enough current for two or more telephones or items of apparatus, if the RENs add up to no more than 4.

DF450 has a REN of 3. Any telephone provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN of 1 unless otherwise stated on the base. Even where the number of telephones has been limited, there is no guarantee that the different types of telephone on the same line will ring.

Technical information

Technical

Voltage drop

The voltage drop introduced by the apparatus between the PSTN and the associated telephone/answering machine is 0.4 Volts at 40mA dc.

The introduction of this voltage drop may occasionally cause difficulties in making calls from the associated telephone or problems in telephone conversations being experienced by both parties to the call.

While operation may be possible initially, changes to or modernisation of the network taking place in the normal course of events may result in the apparatus being connected to a network service with which it is not designed to be compatible. Failure of the apparatus to work under these circumstances may not be the responsibility of the network operator.

In the unlikely event of any such problems occurring, the user should contact the supplier or maintainer of the apparatus.

Difficulty may be experienced when making calls from other apparatus. Such difficulties may include:

• difficulties in making a call;

• problems in telephone conversation being experienced by both parties to the call.

Note - The definition of a RBS (Relevant Branch System) from PSTN lines is given in BS6789 section 6.1 (1986) clause 2.4

Connecting to switchboards

Your DF450 is approved only for use with a compatible switchboard including those which do not provide secondary proceed indication.

If you do have a compatible switchboard, it cannot be guaranteed that the DF450 will operate correctly under all possible conditions of connection. If you have any difficulties, contact BT on Freefone 0800 800 152.

Safety warning

Interconnection circuits should be such that the equipment continues to comply with the requirements of 4.2 of EN 41003 for TNV circuits and 2.3 of EN 60950 for SELV circuits, after making connections between circuits.

Interconnection directly, or by way of other apparatus, of ports marked Safety Warning. See instructions for use. Ports marked or not so marked may produce hazardous conditions on the network. Advice should be obtained from a competent engineer before such a connection is made.
