1.2How Does a Fax Mach ine Wo rk?
A fax machine can be connected to a normal telephone system without
taking any special precautions, just like a normal telephone set. The function of a fax machine is quite similar to that of a telephone.
The way a fax machine works is simple: documents that are to be transmitted are "read" by the take-upunit, the so-called scanner. The machine
doesnotrecognisetheletters but reads the picture, dot bydot, and marks
each dot as black or white. That is why you can not only transmit texts but
also pictures and photos. The information is then digitised and compressedso that the fax machinecansendit quickly over the telephoneline
to another fax machine which reverses the process, reading and marking
each dot as black or white on a sheet of paper.
When you are "called" by a fax machine, your telephone rings as normal.
Therefore you cannot know whether your are receiving a fax call or a telephone call before picking up the receiver.
At the beginning of a fax transmission you will hear shrill sounds. Those
sounds are the so called "hand shaking" and function as an introduction
sequence before the actual transmission, just as interlocutors - often - introduce themselves at the beginning of a telephone call. In the introductorysequence the technical featuresofbothm achines are matched to make
surethe transmission and the receptionare conducted to a high standard.
With your Di 150f you do not need to listen to the introductory sequence.
How to program the machine accordingly will be explained later in this
manual. Furthermoreyou will also find information about the settings that
come with the machine, that have to be made when installing, or the settings that can be made at a later stage. Most of the features of the fax machine work independently, so that you can program only the settings you
need for the moment and ignore all others.
Bythe way, the word "fax" is a combinationof the Latin"facere"(to make)
and "simile" (similar) describing the process of making a copy which is
similar to the original. This artificial word "fax" has nowadays become
widelyacceptedin everyday language, replacingthe older term facsimile.
A copy is therefore to be made ”similar” to the original.
Now, enjoy your new fax machine.

Laser Safety
This fax machine contains a page printer which operates by means of a
laser. This machine does not impose any danger as long as it is used according to the proceduresdescribed in this manual. The l aser is limited to
the interior of the machine. The environment is protected from the laser
emission by the covers of the machine.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum radiation: 7.3 x 10-³ (W) Wave length : 770-810 (nm)
The machine works with an invisible cl ass IIIb laser. The printer head unit
is not field service item.
Ozone Release Warning
During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This
amount is not large enough to harm anyone. However, be sure the room
wherethefax machine is being used has adequateventilation, especially
if you are printing a high volume of material or if the fax machine is being
used continuously over a long period.

2.6The Toner Ca rtridge and the Drum Cartridge
In this laser fax, characters and images are created through a process in
which the drum cartridge applies toner to the page in the machine's developing section.
The drum cartridge should be handled with care to ensure proper performance at all times. Be sure to avoid exposing the cartridge to direct sunlight or any other direct light. Store the cartridge in an environmentthat is
not subject to extreme heat or humidity. Detailed information on the care
and handling of the toner cartridge is provided with the shipment of new
cartridges.
Exchange the cartridge when ”toner low” appears in the display (approx.
After 6000 DIN A4 prints). The drum cartridge has a service life of about
30000 pages. Instructions on how to replace the cartridges are given in
the chapter on maintenance.
Both cartridges are made of non-hazardous material. Please consult the
regulations for the disposal of such products in your area.
Used cartridges may be taken back by the technical service station as a
part of the maintenance procedures.
Installation
Note
To avoid damage to the drum cartridge caused by light, cover it with a
cloth as soon as removed from the fax.
