1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing this Minoltafax 1300 and showing confidence in
our product. This machine has a modern design and fulfils today’s
requirements of a fax machine. It combines advanced technology with a
harmonious design.

The machine is authorised for use in the public telephone network and is
compatible to other fax machines of the communication standard 3.

The Minoltafax 1300 was manufactured to the same high quality standards
as is common for all other precision instruments made by Minolta.

This manual will assist you in becoming familiar with the machine.
It contains all the necessary information for the start-up, its functions and
the replacement of the consumables.

Please, always keep this manual to hand when using the machine.

GENERAL

1.2 How Does a Fax Machine Work?

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-up unit, the so called scanner. The
machine does not recognise the letters but reads the picture, dot by dot,
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 compressed so that the fax machine can send it quickly over
the telephone line 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
introductory sequence the technical features of both machines are
matched to make sure the transmission and the reception are conducted
to a high standard.

With your Minoltafax 1300 you do not need to listen to the introductory
sequence. How to program the machine accordingly will be explained later
in this manual. Furthermore you 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.

By the way, the word "fax" is a combination of 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
widely accepted in everyday language, replacing the older term facsimile.

Now, enjoy your new fax machine.

Minoltafax 1300 3

1.3 Safety Precautions

• Connect the machine only to a 200 - 240 V/ 50 Hz earthed power point
which complies with the VDE standards. Try to avoid the use of multiple
power points.

• Make sure the power is not turned off over night.

• Always pull at the plug, never at the wire, when you want disconnect the

machine from the power supply.

• To facilitate communication always keep the machine switched on and
program the correct user data.

• Do not unscrew any parts, if not specifically requested in this manual. If
there should be any problems, please inform your technical service.

• Never open the machine while it is transmitting or printing.

• Take care not to let humidity into the machine.

• Make sure no strange objects fall into the machine.

• If any problem occurs that can not be solved by the procedures

described in this manual make sure you contact the technical service.

• Follow the recommended maintenance procedures regularly.

• For the disposal of used ink cartridges check your local regulations.

1.4 User Instructions (For UK Users)

These facsimiles are approved for connection to the British Telecom public
switched telecommunication systems in accordance with the British
telecommunication Act of 1984. The usage should be subject to the
conditions set out in these instructions. Any other usage will INVALIDATE
this approval.

1 The approval of this facsimile for connection to the public switched

telephone network (PSTN) is invalidated if the facsimile is used with or
connected to:
(i) internal software that has not been formally accepted by BABT or
(ii) external control software or external control apparatus which
causes the operation of the facsimiles to contravene BABT
requirements.

2 This facsimile is approved for the use of the following facilities:

Tone Dialling (DTMF)
Automatic Clearing
Automatic answering (Facsimile with auto answer to ITU-T.30)
Last Number Redial
Automatic call initiation
Automatic dialling facilities
Automatic multiple repeat dial attempts
Series connection for "Off Hook" detection
Memory dialling
Any other usage will INVALIDATE the approval of the apparatus, if as
a result it then ceases to conform to the standard for which approval
was granted.

3 This facsimile is suitable for connection to exchange lines on PSTN

directly or via a compatible private branch exchange.

4 It cannot be guaranteed that the facsimile will operate under all

possible conditions of connection to compatible PBXs. Any cases of
difficulty should be referred in the first instance to the supplier of the
apparatus.

5 Connection to PSTN must not be hardwired.

The connection to PSTN must be disconnected before the mains plug
is removed.

6 The facsimile may be used on PSTN employing Loop disconnect of MF

signalling. However, please note as follows: Although the facsimile can
use either Loop disconnect or DTMF signalling, only the performance
of the DTMF signalling is subject to regulatory requirements for correct

GENERAL

Minoltafax 1300 5

operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the facsimile is set
to use DTMF signalling for access to public or private emergency
services if it is used with a hand-set. DTMF signalling also provides
faster call set up.

7 Ringer Equivalent Number (REN) for the facsimile is 1.

The REN relates to the performance of the facsimile when used in
parallel with other items of terminal equipment. The REN is a customer
guide indicating approximately the maximum number of equipment that
should be connected in parallel simultaneously to the same line. To
determine the maximum number of items that can be connected
simultaneously to an exclusive line please add the REN values of each
item connected to the exclusive line. The sum should not exceed the
maximum REN value of 4. For the purposes of this calculation, the
REN of terminal equipment rented or brought from BT plc. should be
assumed to be a REN of 1.0 unless otherwise specified.

8 When other telephone apparatus is connected in parallel with the

facsimile, it must be set on Tone dialling (DTMF) mode only.

9 When connecting a telephone onto the same line or PBX extension as

this facsimile, the serial socket on the LJU unit (on the unit cord) must
be used.

10 Please be advised that should another telephone device be used

connected to the PSTN via the serial socket on the LJU unit, then
problems may be experienced in the following ways:
(i) Difficulty making calls.
(ii) Problems in telephone conversation sometimes experienced by
both parties. Should difficulties as described above be experienced,
then the supplier of the facsimile should be contacted for assistance
and the network operator.

11 The facsimile is not suitable as an extension to a pay phone or as a

1 + 1 carrier system.

12 On a private exchange (PABX) extension, insert a pause or pauses in

the autodial sequence to allow your PABX unit time to connect with the
public service telephone network (an outside line) before dialling
continues. For example, you may require a sequence of 9 "PAUSE"
0908 214315 to transmit a fax message to our Keynes Office. To insert
pause, press the "PAUSE" key. One key operation causes a pause of
4 seconds in the dialling sequence.

GENERAL

6 Minoltafax 1300

13 It may be necessary to insert a pause in the autodial sequence when

sending transmissions overseas in order that the international
exchanges have time to interconnect. For example, you may require a
sequence of 010 "PAUSE" 1555677899 to transmit a fax message to
your New York office. To insert a pause, press the "REDIAL/P" key.
One key operation causes a pause of 4 seconds in the dialling
sequence.

1.4.1 Mains Plug Wiring Instructions

This equipment is fitted with a moulded type mains plug incorporating a
detachable fuse cover, under no circumstances should the plug be used
without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in

2.7 Loading the Recording Paper

Follow this procedure for fax and print mode.

2.7.1 Adjusting the Paper Thickness

Open the transmissi on unit. Change the position of the paper thickness
lever to set the dis tance bet ween the pri nt head and the t rans port r oller for
the paper. The lever is located above the ink cartridge.

Before you install a new machine,
remove the protection tape.

Push the lever to the left for normal
paper (64 - 90 g/m²) and to the right
for thicker paper.
Close the transmission unit.

2.7.2 Filling the Paper Cassette

Push the lever on the
right side of the paper
cassette backwards.

Place the paper in the cassette so that the side you want to print on faces
you and the top of the page points downward. Take care to keep the
height of the stack below the mark on the right side of the paper cassette.

Fan the stack of paper well and place in the cassette. The cassette holds
up to 100 sheets (74 g/m²).

INSTALLATION

24 Minoltafax 1300

Align the paper on the right
side of the cassette and push
it down to the bottom.

Adjust the left paper guide.

Press [PRINTER RESET] to feed the first sheet.

If the machine runs out of paper during a print job, the display shows
CHECK PAPER!. Refill the paper and press [PRINTER RESET].

F

If required, set paper formats other than A4 using the software

Software Switches".)

INSTALLATION

Minoltafax 1300 25

2.7.3 Using Single Sheet Feeder

You may use standard A 4 paper size in your fax machine as well as other
paper sizes. If you use paper for special purposes, such as thick paper
(90-105 g/m²), acetates, address labels and envelopes, you should feed
these types of paper individually. For this, push the lever on the right side
of the paper cassette to the front and place the individual sheet in the
feeder so the side you want to print on faces you and the top points
downwards.

F

Make sure to adjust the paper thickness to the type of paper
actually used.

Use acetates that are suitable for ink jet printing. E.g. 3M CG3480 or
Canon #Q07-0001-M1.

After printing on acetates, you should make two copies on normal paper to
ensure no ink stains remain on the paper transport rollers. Mind that
acetates may melt, if they are exposed to heat.

If you use special papers, the results of the print may vary considerably
due to different quality standards of different types of paper It is advisable
to make a test copy before starting a long series of printing with a new type
of paper.

Storage conditions may influence the quality of the print. Always store the
paper in the original packaging. Do not expose the paper to extreme
temperatures or high humidity.

Note that the ink may need longer to dry on some paper qualities. If you
print longer documents on several pages, this may cause ink stains on the
pages.

F

Make sure to push the lever on the right of the paper cassette back
and return the paper thickness adjustment to normal, after using the
single sheet feeder.

INSTALLATION

settings. This chapter explains how to set your name, your line type and
the partner stations with which you wish to communicate.

3.1 Typing Conventions in this Manual

If nothing else is requested, all keys are to be pressed one after the other
when entering data. This is also the case if they are connected by a "+" to
facilitate the layout. "Press [0] + [5] + [SET]" means: Press the numeric

key [0], then the numeric key [5] and then the key named [SET].

3.2 General

When entering numbers or letters move the cursor in the display to the left
using [

$

] (one-touch key 5) or to the right using [#] (one-touch key 6).

If you entered a wrong number move the cursor onto the wrong digit and
press [DELETE] (one-touch key 8) to remove it. Then enter the correct
digit.

Enter spaces by pressing [SPEED DIAL]: These spaces have no effect on
the programming, they just raise the legibility of telephone numbers.

Press [REDIAL/P] to program pauses in the dialling process. The length of
the pause is 3 seconds factory-set and may be changed using the
software switches. The pause is shown in the display by a colon.

If you operate the machine from a PBX system enter the line access
procedure in the telephone numbers by pressing [TONE]. How to program
the [TONE] key cf. " Entering Password, Name, Fax Number and Line
Type". The entry is shown in the display by "R".

[MENU] selects the desired procedure.
[SET] stores the entry and ends the procedure. The data is stored.
Press [STOP] to end the procedure and to delete the entry. In some cases

press [STOP] twice.

F

If you interrupt the procedure for more than one minute the machine
returns to standby mode without storing the data.

3.4 Entering Password, Name, Fax Number
and Line Type

You can place your name and your fax number in the header of your fax.
The header is the first line printed at the top of the paper of the receiving
fax machine. Determine the position of the header using the software
switches. (Cf. section "Programming User Software Switches".)

You may need the password later for functions such as protected polling.
The password is factory-set to "0000" = off. The password is comparable
to the PIN-code on a credit card.

Setting the line type determines how your fax machine obtains an outside
line when it operates in a PBX system. The following procedure describes
how to set your password, your name, your fax number and your line type.

3.7 ECM Mode

Your Minoltafax 1300 transmits data using the ITU-T ECM mode. This is a
standard communication system between fax machines of group 3 (G3). In
this standard, data that may have been lost during the transmission due to
low line quality is repeated. This reduces the error rate considerably.
Although this standard raises the transmission time to some degree, it is
still quicker than resending a whole page.

For permanent changes in this setting use software switch No. 24
(cf. "Programming User Software Switches“.) For temporary changes in
this setting follow the procedure given below.

3.8.1 Automatic Fax Transfer

If the automatic fax transfer function is turned on, all incoming faxes are
printed and then sent to the programmed telephone number.

If the receiving partner station is busy, the Minoltafax redials the number
according to the settings of software switch No.5. If a transmission error
occurs during the transfer, the machine interrupts the current transmission
and redials the number about 10 minutes later to retry the transmission.
If all attempts to redial and transmit fail, the process is deleted.

3.8.2 Manual Fax Transfer (Remote Controlled Polling)

This function allows you to send the incoming fax messages to a remote
fax machine, controlling the process from the remote machine. For this,

number of pages in the header of each transmitted page. The page
number is printed on your original and on the copy sent to the other party
in the top left-hand corner. This functions facilitates finding individual
pages afterwards.

The machine compares the programmed number of pages with the actual
number of pages sent and makes a note in the transmission report if the
numbers do not correspond. The factory-setting for the report is off.

4.1.1 Notes on Original Documents

Your fax machine can send the following sizes of paper. The automatic
document feeder has a capacity of 20 sheets if every sheet has equal size
and strength.

If the feeding length exceeds 1500 mm the Minoltafax recognises a
document jam and interrupts the reading process.
Use yellow, yellow-green or light blue colors for information you do not
want to be transmitted.
Make sure ink, glue, Tipp-Ex

©

and other similar substances are completely

dry before the transmission.

F

Always remove staples and paper-clips from the document
before sending it. Such objects may cause serious damage to
the fax machine.

SENDING

50 Minoltafax 1300

Photocopy or Carrying Film

Original documents that meet the following characteristics must be

photocopied or placed in a carrying film before they are sent:

• paper sizes less than 148 mm width or less than 148 mm length

• paper that is too light

• folded, torn, wrinkled damp rough or curled paper

• chemically treated and pressure sensitive paper

• metallic or textile originals

• the paper thickness must be between 0.05 mm and 0.15 mm. If the

thickness is between 0.08 mm and 0.13 mm you can place several

sheets at once in the document feeder.

SENDING

Minoltafax 1300 51

4.1.2 Placing the Documents

Place the document face down
on the document feeder

.

Centre the document and
adjust the paper guides so that
they lightly touch the edges of
the document but not jam it

.

You can place up to 20 sheets in the document feeder. Make sure the
documents are well placed and aligned before starting the transmission.
If you want to send more than 20 sheets, place the additional sheets in the
document feeder during the transmission.

If the paper is curled or the sheets stick to each other, several pages may
be drawn in together. This can lead to document jams and faulty trans­missions. In this case, place the sheets individually in the document feeder
to ensure a correct feeding of the documents.

Especially smooth documents may slip in the document feeder. This may
cause the output document to be "stretched". Copy the document on
normal paper first to prevent this.

SENDING

4.6 Overseas Transmission

When you transmit documents over long distances, disturbances in the
telephone line may cause errors in the transmission. To eliminate this type
of error you can reduce the transmission speed temporarily. In this way
you can also compensate errors that occur due to bad telephone lines in
general.

5 Receiving

Select the receiving mode by pressing [AUTO/MAN.ANSWER] until the
desired LED is lit. (For manual reception no LED is lit.)

F

Make sure the space in front of the paper exit is free. Jammed paper
may cause the print to be smudged.

When you receive large half tone pictures, the memory may not be
sufficient to store the whole picture. In this case ask the other party to
send the picture as black and white only.

5.1 Manual Receiving

Receiving conversation calls is only possible through an external
telephone. Generally it is only sensible to set the machine to manual
receiving, if you are expecting voice telephone calls on the same line. This
should be kept in mind when the reception mode is set.

1 Manual receiving mode is selected when neither the AUTO nor the

ANSWER LED is lit.

2 When the telephone rings, lift the receiver. If software switch No. 54

is ON, the machine automatically receives incoming fax messages. In
this case simply replace the receiver when you hear no more signal
tones.

3 If the incoming call is a telephone conversation with a subsequent fax

message, press [3] + [3] after the conversation, to begin the
transmission. (For tone dialling only.)

4 The received copy is first stored in the memory and is printed out

afterwards.

F

If the surrounding environment is extraordinaryly loud, the
Minoltafax 1300 may not recognise the signal tone correctly.
In this case press [START] to begin the transmission.

Press [HOLD] to hold a telephone conversation. Press [HOLD] to resume
the conversation.

Use software switch No. 10 to determine whether your partner hears
music while on hold.

RECEIVING

62 Minoltafax 1300

5.2 Automatic Receiving (AUTO)

Incoming calls are automatically answered as fax messages. The software
switches No. 07, 09 and 16 offer a variety of selections. (To set the
switches cf. chapter "Entering Data", section "Programming User Software
Switches“.)

Software switch No. 07

Number of rings before the machine answers the call.

Software switch No. 09

Number of simulated rings (e.g. for the manual fax transfer). Enter any
number available between 3 and 11. If 00 is set no rings are simulated and
the fax signal is given immediately after the call is answered. In this case
the fax / telephone recognition is off.

Software switch No. 16

This switch controls the voice response when the fax / telephone
recognition is on

5.3 Combination with an Answering Machine
(ANSWER)

The Minoltafax 1300 can be combined with an answering machine. When
set to answer mode, the machine operates as follows.

If no message is left within 6 seconds after the answering machine turns
on, the Minoltafax emits the fax signal and receives the data. If the voice
response is on (software switch 16) the machine will ask the caller to pess
the start key to send a fax before emitting the CNG-signal. The Minoltafax
will receive the data in any case, if the calling fax machine emits a fax
signal.

This feature may not function properly with certain answering machines
because the quality of the telephone line and the capacity of the answering
machine are important. Some of the advanced functions of the answering
machine may not work, because the Minoltafax monitors the line.

RECEIVING

Minoltafax 1300 63

5.4 Polling Receiving

With this function you can poll documents from other fax machines, if they
are prepared with a document ready for polling. Further more you can

5.6 Memory Receiving

The Minoltafax 1300 receives data in the memory, if the machine runs out
of paper or ink during the reception. In this case the display shows
<Rx. IN MEMORY> alternating with the cause for the problem (PRINTER
ERROR, CHECK PAPER or INK EMPTY).

Solve the problem and press [PRINTER RESET] to resume the print job.

5.6.1 Memory Capacity

The memory has a capacity of approximately 34 ITU test pages No. 1 in
normal resolution. However, as the amount of the received data depends
on the number of dots received for the picture, the capacity of the memory
may be used up earlier. If half tone pictures are received the limit of the
memory can be reached in less than a page. In this case the picture must
be send as a black and white picture.

5.7 Reducing the Received Pages

If a received page is longer than the loaded paper size (A4), the Minoltafax
1300 can print it on two pages. The machine prevents this by automatically
reducing all incoming fax messages to 90 %, 84 % or 70 %. The factory­setting is 90 %. To change the setting follow these steps:

2 Start the manual reception from your computer. (Further details are

given in the manual for the software.)
3 View the document in the computer.

*** RECEIVING **

The Minoltafax must be set to manual reception. If your software is set to
automatic reception, the Minoltafax directly transfers the incoming fax
message to the computer. Some programs also allow manual reception.

In case the transfer to the computer does not work, you can answer the
incoming call with the connected telephone. The Minoltafax then emits the
fax signal and starts the reception.

During operation in the computer fax mode, no other function is available.
