Connecting an answering machine

Your PaperJet 55 can work with an answering machine so that you can take voice and fax messages.

To ensure the two machines work together, the fax machine must be in TAD/FAX RX mode and the answering machine line cord must be connected into the socket on the back of the PaperJet 55’s line cord doubler plug.

When set up like this, and a call comes in, your answer machine will always answer the call first. Your PaperJet 55 will monitor the call and take control if it detects that is is a fax call. If the answering machine fails to answer, PaperJet 55 will answer the call after 10 rings and prepare to receive a fax.

To set the receive mode

Press to display

To set up your answering machine

If you can choose the number or rings before your answering machine takes the call (refer to your answering machine’s guide for instructions), it is recommended that you set the number of rings on your answer machine to between 2 and 4.

For optimum performance, the outgoing message on the answer machine should be as short as possible and should not exceed the times shown below:-

If your fax machine fails to take fax calls off the answering machine

If your PaperJet 55 fails to take fax calls from the answer machine then first you should check that the outgoing message on the answer machine is not too long. If the outgoing message is OK, the problem may be because the calling machine is not sending fax tones (some older machines do this). Your PaperJet 55 should cope with this by switching to fax if it detects long periods of silence – it is preset to switch to fax if it detects 6 seconds of silence. You may need to shorten this detection time to suit your particular answer machine.

In the case of power failure, the fax machine will keep the data for:

• date and time

• machine settings

• numbers stored in the one-touch and speed dial memories

• reports

Any documents stored in the memory will be lost.

When the power is restored your machine will print out a report which shows the total number of pages (both received and stored for sending) lost from the memory.

Maintenance

Cleaning your PaperJet 55

First disconnect it from the mains power supply and the telephone line.

Clean with a cloth dampened with diluted washing-up liquid. Never use household polish as this may damage your fax machine. Never use a dry cloth as this may cause static shock.

Changing the printhead/cartridge

Your PaperJet 55 is supplied with a starter print cartridge and it is not possible to change the ink cartridge independently of the print head. Replacements have ink cartridges which can be replaced independently of the printhead. You can use the same printhead with up to 6 cartridges. You should then change both the cartridge and printhead.

Changing the printhead/cartridge assembly

1 Open the printer compar tment cover.

2 Pull the green levers towards the front of the

machine to release the printhead assembly.

3 Lift out the assembly.

4 Remove the new printhead assembly from its

packaging. Holding it by the finger grip, peel the protective film from the print nozzles.

5 Avoid touching the nozzles and metal electrical

contacts.

NOTE

For details on changing between black and colour cartridges, see the separate PaperJet 55/65 PC

Printing Guide.

2 Gently pull the black lever at the side of the

printhead assembly to the side to release the cartridge.

3 Lift out the car tridge.

4 Remove the new car tridge from its packaging.

Holding it by the finger grip, peel off the protective film.

5 Inser t the new car tridge into the printhead until

it clicks into place.

It should be orientated as shown on next page.

6 Inser t the new assembly into the holder with the

electrical contacts facing towards the front of the machine.

7 Pull the assembly towards the front of the machine
