Where to set up your fax machine

Follow these guidelines when setting up your fax machine:

Away from direct sunlight

To avoid overheating, set up your fax machine away from direct sunlight or a heater.

Level, and vibration-free

To avoid damage to the mac hine or injuries, set the fax machine up in a level, vibration-free location.

Avoid extreme high / low temperature

Use your fax machine within the temperature range of 50º F to 89.6º F (10º C to 32º C).

Away from a television or radio

Many appliances and office equipment, including televisions, radios, copy machines, air conditioners and computers, can generate electronic noise that can interfere with the operation of your fax machine.

Clean

Dust buildup can damage your fax. Periodically clean your fax machine as described in the operating instructions. Do not use a dust cover, which can cause damaging overheating.

Near a phone jack

Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone jack, also known as an RJ-11.

Space around the fax machine

To ensure proper ventilation and easy operation,set up the machine in an area that meets the minimum requirements for clearance as illustrated below.

Before using your Muratec fax machine

20 cm (7.9 inches)

60 cm (23.6 inches)

50 - 89.6 F

Power requirements

Plug in the power cord

Plug the power cord carefully and completely into a wall outlet. Do not leave any portion of the electrical cord’s metal plugs exposed. Doing so could cause a fire and poses a risk of electrical shock.

Do not share an extension cord connector with other plugs

It can cause electrical shock.

Do not share an outlet with a large appliance

High-consumption appliances such as a refrigerator or air conditioner can cause “draw-downs”which could damage your fax machine.

120 VAC outlet

Use a standard three-pronged 120 V electrical outlet to power your fax machine. Using any other electrical outlet will cause damage to your fax.

For domestic use only

Never use your fax machine outside the country in which you purchased it. Doing so may violate telecommunication and safety regulations of that country,and variations in electrical and telephone standards can cause poor performance and damage to your fax.

General Precautions

Never disassemble your fax machine!

Disassembling your fax machine can cause serious injury to you and damage to your fax. If service is required, call your authorized Muratec dealer.

Keep away from liquids

Keep liquids and metal pins or other objects away from your fax machine. If something falls into the fax machine, remove the plug from the outlet, and call your authorized Muratec dealer.

Never handle your fax machine or power cord with wet hands

Never touch your fax machine or power cord if your hands are wet.

During electrical storms, disconnect the plug from the outlet

Electrical storms can cause electrical shock or damage to the fax machine.

AC 120V

Do not put furniture or equipment on the power cord

Do not put anything on or over the electrical power cord, and do not route the power cord under rugs or carpets. Doing so can damage the power cord or fax, and can cause fire or electrical shock.

Avoid temperature fluctuations

Sudden changes in temperature can cause damaging condensation to form inside your fax machine.

Allow clearance around the outlet

Don’t stack boxes or furniture around the outlet.

Use caution when carrying the fax

Lift and carry the fax machine as described in your operating instructions.Some fax machines require two people to safely and properly carry.

Use supplies manufactured specifically for Muratec fax machines

Using toner cartridges and other supplies that are not manufactured specifically for Muratec machines may affect the operation of your unit.

Storing and handling toner cartridges

To avoid damage to your fax mac hine and to assure the best performance possible, follow these guidelines when storing and handling toner cartridges:

Store the cartridge

Store toner cartridge at a constant temperature within a range of 50º F to 89.6º F (10º C to 32º C). Do not store cartridges in locations subject to extreme fluctuation of temperature and humidity.

Do not stand the cartridge on its end and do not store it upside down.

Do not open the protective bag of the cartridge until you are ready to install the cartridge.

Do not store cartridges in areas of:

• Direct sunlight

• Dusty conditions

• Near floppy disks or other computer media, computer screens, or any other materials sensitive to magnetic fields.

Do not burn toner cartridges!

The toner powder is extremely flammable. Exposure to flame can cause toner cartridges to burn or explode, causing serious injury.

Be careful not to get the toner powder in your eyes.

If the toner powder gets in your eyes,wash your eyes well and see a doctor.

Keep cartridges away from water or oil. Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight. Do not expose toner cartridges to static or

other electrical shock.

1.1

Getting started

What’s a fax document?

A fax document is anything a fax user wants to fax to someone else.It can be one or more pages, and it can be text, a drawing or even a copy of a photograph.

What’s a fax number?

Because your fax operates on standard phone lines,a fax number is just a regular phone number. And because your fax is also a high-quality,full-featured telephone, your fax number can be your regular phone number.

What are resolution and grayscale?

Just as cars are measured by engine size,fax machines are measured by resolution and grayscale.

Resolution refers to the sharpness of a fax transmission. It’s expressed in lines per inch (lpi). There are at least three levels of resolution for most fax machines:

• Normal (203 horizontal × 98 vertical lpi)

• Fine (203 × 196 lpi)

• Superfine (406 × 392 lpi). Grayscale levels, or shades of gray — refers to the many shades of gray your fax

machine sees on a document it’s sending.It’s likely most of your fax documents will be dark text on white paper. However, when you want to send photographs and other shaded items, you can send your fax documents with 256-level grayscale.

Why not always set your fax machine for superfine , or for grayscale?

Setting your fax machine for superfine resolution and grayscale mode makes your machine send more information, making transmissions last longer and potentially driving up your phone bills on long-distance calls.You’ll find that we’ve made it easy for you to set your fax machine for the most efficient and truest transmission for the types of documents you send.

Operating tips

To press: 0 (zero),1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,#or * Use: The numeric keypad. Tip: At no other time within this manual will we refer to the letters printed

below the numeric keys and their uses (such as accessing abc by pressing the 2 key.) These letters are there only for your convenience in using your fax machine as a telephone.

To press:A,B,C,Dor any other letter key Use: The one-touch key labeled with that letter. Tip: Please don’t confuse the zero (0) with the letter O.

Here’s an example.If we say “press /

PROGRAM

,7,

ENTER

,0,8,

ENTER

”…

… you’d press /

PROGRAM

… then 7 … then

ENTER

… then 0 (the numeric key zero) … then 8

… and then

ENTER

Important: Even though our example above includes commas,do not enter them

into the fax machine.Those characters appear in our instructions to separate one number from the other. They do not need to be entered into your fax machine.

There is a function (broadcasting) which requires commas to be entered, but there is a special way to enter them.We’ll explain this process later.

Getting started

Pick an installation spot

Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:

• Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine.(However, do not use a cover!)

• In the open — Allow at least 12 inc hes of c learance around your mac hine. Be sure that you never cover the machine. Its vents must be able to “breathe.”

• Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating.

• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water foun- tain) could reach your fax machine.

• Level, and vibration-free.

• Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone jack, also known as an RJ-11.

• Near an ac power outlet — The ac power cord is about 5 feet long when stretched to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its limit.

Power tips

• Use a standard three-pronged 120

VAC

outlet.

• Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch. If it is, you’ll risk occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you to lose fax messages.

• Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a large appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner. Such high-consumption appliances can cause “draw-downs” (temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.

• Use an electrical surge suppressor, preferably one which guards both tele- phone and electrical lines.This device helps to shield your fax machine from damaging high-voltage electrical surges.

Voltage requirements: 120

Removing the transport screws

Your fax machine is shipped with transport screws for protecting your fax machine’s mirror carriage during shipping.

Important: Be sure that you do not turn the power on until after you have

removed the transport screws.Otherwise, damage could result.

Remove the four transport screws,as shown.

Get the protection seals from your manual kit, and attach one protection seal on each transport screw’s now-open hole.This shields the hole while you are using the machine.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU USE THE MACHINE, YOU MUST

TURN OFF THE TRANSPORT MODE (see page 1.12).

Note: Be sure to save the screws for reshipment. If you must ship your machine

for some reason, turn on the transport mode, turn the power off and then undo the above procedure as follows: — Remove the seals (reversing step 2); — Reinstall the screws (reversing step 1).

Setting up

1.8

Getting started

Installing the printing supplies

Your fax prints incoming faxes and copies with a reliable 400 dpi print engine. Your fax requires two types of printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables):

• The drum cartridge — It yields 20,000 normal letter-sized printouts (see “Specifications,”page AI.1). By “normal,”we’re referring to the amount of text and/or graphics on each page.This is based on an industry-standard test document.

• The toner cartridge — It yields 10,000 “normal”,letter-sized printouts (see “Specifications,”page AI.1).

To install these supplies:

Pull up the top cover release and open the top cover.

Pull up the printer cover release and

open the printer cover.

Unpack a new toner cartridge from its carton.Then, holding the toner cartridge with both hands,slowly shake it as shown (note the arrows).

Note: Do not throw the toner cartridge

into the fire; this will avoid any possibility of ignition and/or injury.

Place the new toner cartridge on a flat, clean surface.

Unpack the drum cartridge from its carton. Note: Shield the drum cartridge from light, especially strong light. Later, if

you have to remove the cartridge from the fax, immediately wrap it in a thick cloth to protect it from light.

Set the drum cartridge on the toner cartridge, making sure that the drum cartridge’s two pins fit in the slits inside the toner cartridge frame.

Note: Do not touch the developing

roller.

Grip toner cartridge as shown, to avoid pinching your fingers between the toner cartridge and the printer frame. Keep the drum slot free of dust and other foreign materials.

Gently install the toner cartridge in the printer, making sure the toner cartridge's four pins fit in the slits inside the printer frame.

Keep the drum slot

free of dust and

other foreign materials.

Do not touch the drum surface on the cartridge’s bottom.

Developing roller

1.9

Getting started

Insert the fuser cleaner into the slot in the fuser unit.The fuser cleaner cleans the fuser unit roller.

You should replace the fuser cleaner every time you change the new toner cartridge.

Gently clean the LED print head using the cleaning paper.

Close the printer cover.

Close the top cover. Be sure to push on a portion of the cover to lock it into its original (closed) position.

Note: The fax machine will not work if the cover isn’t closed properly.

Attach the paper -handling parts

Attach the document tray by inserting it into the appropriate holes,as shown.

Attach the Multi paper tray by inserting its two pegs at a slightly upward angle into the appropriate holes,as shown.

Attach the paper tray by inserting its two pegs at a slightly upward angle into the appropriate holes,as shown.

1.10

Getting started

Loading paper

Your machine’s standard paper cassette can hold up to 400 sheets at a time. Each optional cassette, available from your Muratec dealer at the time of purchase or as an upgrade, can hold an extra 200 sheets.In addition to boosting your total paper supply, adding an extra paper cassette allows your fax machine to use two types of paper, letter and legal, for example, at the same time.

Loading the paper cassette

Before you load paper, note the following:

• The paper cassette can be adjusted to accept letter- or legal-sized paper.

• Before you load the cassette, you will need to “tell” your fax machine which size of paper, letter- or legal-sized,you will be loading.You can do this by setting a pin located on the rear side of the paper cassette.

Note:If you will be using letter-sized paper, there’s no need to adjust the cas-

sette; your fax is initially set for this paper size. Simply attach the LTR sticker to the outside of the paper cassette.

Pull the paper cassette completely out of your fax.

On the rear side of the cassette, you will see the pin and three sets of holes. Note the drawing below. If the pin is in the upper and lower set of holes, your fax “thinks”the cassette holds letter-sized paper. If the pin is in the middle and lower holes, your fax thinks the cassette has legal-sized paper.

Setting for legal-sized paper

Your fax comes set for letter-sized paper.To set it to use legal-sized paper:

Unlock the pin from the upper set of holes by reaching inside of the paper cassette and pressing the nib, as shown.

Remove the pin.

Insert the pin into the middle set of holes.You will hear a click when it is locked into place.

Install the paper guide into the holes corresponding to the paper size you are installing.

Important: Remember,you’ve now told your fax that the paper cassette

holds legal-sized paper. If you now try to use letter-sized paper without returning the pin to the upper holes (the setting for letter-sized),your fax will sound an alarm tone and display the following message when you try to print:

Be sure to attach the LGL sticker to the outside of the cassette to remind you which paper size it contains.

Getting started

Installing paper

Open the paper cassette from the front of your fax by gently pulling it toward you.

Insert the paper into the cassette. Note: Before you insert paper in the

cassette, stack it so the leading edge and sides of the paper are even.

• Make sure the stack of paper isn’t higher than the limit mark on the side of the cassette.

• Place the edges of the top sheet under the metal tabs on the cassette’s left and right side (as viewed from its front, as shown).

• The paper cassette can hold about 400 sheets of paper.

Note: Each of the two optional additional cassettes can hold about 200

sheets of paper. Thus, you can have as many as 800 sheets of paper “on-line.”F or more details on these and other options for your fax machine, please contact your authorized Muratec dealer.

Check the front corners of the paper stack and make sure they are below the tabs.

Push the paper cassette back into its original (closed) position.You’ll feel a click when it’s properly in place.

Attach the paper size sticker on the cassette’s front.

The paper level indicator on the front paper cassette lets you see how much paper is in the cassette without your having to open the cassette. When you see the paper level indicator drop (i. e., show more dark area), make sure you have a supply of paper nearby. Then, when you see the “Please Supply Paper”message on the display, you’ll be ready to refill the cassette.

Important: To avoid paper jams,do not refill this tray without first removing all

of any paper which may remain in it. In other words, do not just add sheets to an already-loaded stack.

Loading the multi paper tray for copying

You may use letter-, legal- and half-letter sized paper in the multi paper tray, which the machine uses for copying only, not for faxing.

Important: If loading transparency (OHP) film into the multi paper tray, be sure

that the sheet is designed for laser printers and not for copiers.Also, be sure that the film does not have a paper backing and/or a leading strip. If it does, remove the paper backing and/or strip before inserting. Only film should go in, not film with any backing or strip.

Adjust the multi paper tray for the width of paper you plan to load, by sliding the guide to the slot for the paper size you’ll be loading.

Insert a sheet into the multi paper tray until it won’t go in any farther.

Note: The multi-purpose tray can

hold only one sheet of paper at a time.

Attaching a second phone

Want to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!) to your fax machine, so they can share the same phone jack? No problem.

Before we go further, let’s explain the idea.You’re plugging the second phone’s phone line into your fax machine’s PHONE2 jack,not the wall phone jack. In such a setup, only your fax machine connects to the wall.The second phone receives phone signals through your fax machine.

Now, let’s proceed…

If your second phone is already plugged into a wall phone jack, disconnect it from that jack, at the jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you’ll need it in step 2.

Note: Of course, if your second phone

is a model which also requires AC power, as is true for the base of a cordless phone, don’t unplug it from its AC power jack!

Using the plug mentioned in step 1, plug the phone cable from your second phone into the

PHONE

2 jack on the left

side of your fax machine.

For information on how to use a connected second telephone with your fax machine, see “Receiving faxes,” beginning on page 1.24.

Guidelines

Page sizes

While you’ll probably send letter- and legal-sized documents most of the time,it’s possible to fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or one nearly three feet long.

The acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:

Automatic document feeder (

ADF

)

INGLE-SHEET

ULTIPLE-SHEET

Maximum:12.0″ × 35.4″ Maximum:11.7″ × 16.5″ Minimum: 4.7″ × 3.9″ Minimum: 5.8″ × 4.1″

Flatbed scanner (

FBS

)

Maximum:10.1″ × 14.3″

Things not to put in your fax

To avoid paper jams and damage to your mac hine, don’t insert:

• Folded,curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages

• Documents with staples,glue, tape, paper clips or still-wet correction fluid

• “Sticky notes” (or documents with “sticky notes” attached)

• Cardboard, newspaper or fabric

• Pages with duplicating carbon on either side

• Credit cards or any small, thick items

Resolution, grayscale and contrast

Reviewing resolution and grayscale:

• Normal resolution (“

NORM

” on the control panel) is suitable for most typed

documents and simple drawings.

• Fine resolution (“

FINE

” on the control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately compli-

cated drawings,floorplans or handwritten documents.

• Superfine resolution (“S-

FINE

” on the control panel, “S Fine” on the

LCD

)

reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

• Grayscale mode (“

HALFTONE

” on the control panel; “Gray” on the

LCD

) captures

shades in photos and drawings.

Note: If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older,non-

Muratec models) receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax machine currently in use.

To change the resolution setting, press

RESOLUTION

repeatedly. As

noted above, if neither the

FINE,S-FINE

nor

HALFTONE LED

(lightemitting diode; in this case, a small green light) is glowing, your fax is set for normal resolution. Otherwise, a glowing

LED

indicates the

fax is using the setting named by that

LED

. For example,in the

drawing (left), the machine is set for

FINE

resolution.

Contrast

Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or darkness, as the case may be, of document pages you are sending or copying.

To change the contrast setting:

Press

CONTRAST

on the control panel.The display, or

LCD

(liquid crystal dis-

play), indicates the current contrast setting.

Entering a pause character when dialing

Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses,and pauses can also be useful when you’re dialing through special telephone exchanges.

To insert a pause character, just press

REDIAL/PA USE

after you’ve dialed at least one

other character.-/(the pause character) will appear on the display. Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set two seconds (see “Changing the pause

length,”below, for instructions to change this setting). For example ,if the pause is at the factory setting,pressing 9,

REDIAL/PA USE

19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9. Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you’re allowed in a number .

Changing the pause length

The pause is set by the factory to last two seconds,but you can set it to last as long as ten seconds if necessary. To change the pause length:

Press

PROGRAM,J

,0,4,

ENTER

Use the numeric keypad to enter the length you want for the dialing pause. Here, we’ve chosen nine seconds.

Note: The length setting requires two digits.Always enter a leading zero for

lengths less than 10 seconds.

Press

ENTER

to save the setting.

Potential problems with call-w aiting and voice mail

Telephone call-w aiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception.And any service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep your fax machine from receiving fax calls.

If you use only one line for both phone and fax, consult your telephone company to see how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax machine.

Using memory transmission

Your fax machine has a great memory! Take advantage of it,and you could: Save Time. By using your fax machine’s memory, you won’t have to wait for your

machine while it completes the transmission. Simply scan your document into your fax machine’s memory, and you can walk away with your original in hand.

Save Money. If you’re transmitting to another memory-equipped fax machine, your machine will send the document directly into the other machine’s memory and hang up. (The receiving machine then prints out your message from its memory after the call has ended.) This cuts your actual on-line time to a minimum.

Save Even More Money. Set up a delayed command (see pages 2.17–2.19) to send your document after hours,and you can save more money, because the line charges will be cheaper.

You can set your fax to transmit from memory as the default. Note: Whether you decide to send your documents from memory or manually, you

can override that choice one transmission at a time by pressing

MEMORY TRANSMIT

before you send your document.After completing the

communication, your fax will return to the default setting.

Note: Some documents use up memory more quickly than others.They include

documents with many pages and those with many dark areas.When the

machine’s memory is full,it can transmit only through the document feeder.

Note: When you use the flatbed scanner, the machine always uses memory trans-

mission.

To make memory transmission the default:

LCD

for a few seconds:

You’ll need to know this command number if you later wish to cancel the transmission or to print a stored document (see pages 1.23).

Now, everything is up to the machines — yours and the one you’re dialing.

• If the fax has been set for Quick Memory transmit, your machine scans the

first page of your document into memory, then dials the other fax.When it makes contact, your machine transmits the stored document from memory while at the same time scanning the remaining pages of your document into memory. (To set Quick Memory transmission, see pages 2.31.)

• If the fax has been set for the normal memory transmit, your fax scans the

entire document into memory, then dials the other fax.When it makes contact, your machine transmits the entire stored document from memory.

• If the fax is set for non-memory transmission, your machine simply dials

the other fax.When it makes contact, your machine feeds the document through, scanning and transmitting it as it goes.

Note: The more “stuff” (called black coverage) your machine “sees” on a

page, the more slowly the page feeds through as the fax scans it. And even if the page is relatively clean, sending it in grayscale mode or at certain resolutions makes your machine “see”more “stuff.” The same is true if you set the contrast to Dark.

Important: If you want to cancel a transmission while scanning the docu-

ment, press the

STOP

key. If you want to cancel a transmission in progress, use the Review Commands function. See “Review Commands,an introduction” page 1.23.

At the end of the operation, your fax machine beeps and displays:

Review Commands, an introduction

Your fax machine can store many “jobs” in its memory.And it keeps track of each one by assigning it a command number, like “C01.”

Delayed commands,redial attempts and current fax transmissions are all stored in your fax machine’s memory and given a command number.

The Review Commands function gives you the power to check on each job (or command) in your machine’s memory. It also lets you cancel a command if you decide not to send the document.

To cancel a command:

Press

Answering calls manually

In any reception mode, you can always answer calls manually if you have an optional handset installed. Just pick it up,as you would if using a normal phone.

If you hear someone speaking to you, use your optional handset to speak back.

If you hear fax tones (“beep — beep — beep”), press

START

and hang up the optional handset.

The fax machine will begin receiving a fax. Note: Receiving this way disables “V.34” mode

so that the machine receives the fax in normal

ITU-T

Group 3 fashion. (See

page 3.20.)

Note: Don’t try to answer a call by pressing

MONITOR/CALL

. The monitor function

is for dialing only.

Answering fax calls using another phone, not the fax machine

If you have one phone line ringing to several phones in your office and you have an optional handset attached to your fax, there’s no need to run to the fax machine to answer every call. If you happen to answer a fax call while you’re at another extension, put the handset down, but don’t hang up.Walk to the fax machine and pick up the optional handset.Then press

START

After you press

START

, hang up both the fax machine’s handset and the second telephone’s handset. Because remote fax machines will wait several seconds to hear reception tones from your unit, you have about 30 seconds to walk to your fax, pick up the handset, and press

START

Reception modes

Your fax machine has five different reception modes — Tel Ready, Fax Ready, Fax/Tel Ready, Tel/Fax Ready and Ans/Fax Ready.We’ll explain each of these in this section.

Tel Ready mode

Use it if: • You want to use the same line for both fax and phone calls

and

• On that line, you’re using at least one other phone which is not connected to your fax machine

• You have an optional handset installed on your fax machine

In this mode: Your fax machine never answers calls automatically.You must

answer each call as described in “Answering calls manually” (this page, left column).

Using an answering machine with your fax machine

To connect your answering machine to your fax machine:

Set the fax machine for Ans/Fax Ready, as described on page 1.26.

Set your answering machine to answer calls after no more than two rings. (See the answering machine’s instructions if necessary.)

Create a new outgoing message on your answering machine. Here’s a suggested message:

Hello! You’ve reached [your name or telephone number].T o leave a voice message,please wait for the beep.To send a fax, press

START

on your fax

machine.Thanks for calling!

Important: Your answering machine’ s outgoing message must be no longer

than 10 seconds.

Detection of “silent”fax machines

Some older fax machines don’t send fax tones when transmitting,which can cause problems when using an answering machine with your fax.

But your fax machine can accommodate these “silent”machines without disrupting your answering machine operation. For more information, call your authorized Muratec dealer.

If the paper runs out

Getting the word from your machine

When your fax machine runs out of paper, the machine beeps,the

REPLACE P APER

light glows and the

LCD

indicates which source has run out of paper, either the cassette or the multipurpose tray. In this example, the cassette is empty:

Your fax machine cannot print fax messages or copies without paper.But it can still receive documents into its memory, as described in the section below.

Receiving when out of paper

If your machine runs out of paper, it stores up to 100 fax receptions in its memory. This is called out-of-paper reception. Once you refill the paper supply, the fax machine prints the stored messages automatically.

Note: The number of pages (not receptions) your fax machine can store for

out-of-paper reception will vary. It depends on:

• Your machine’s memory capacity

• Types of documents being sent to your machine

• Resolution of documents being sent to your machine (See Specifications,page AI.1.)

The EasyStart feature guided you through the “just-gotta”settings on your machine. In the next few pages,we’ll cover additional settings.

Scan settings

Four different settings tell your machine how to scan documents.The initial factory settings are probably right for most applications,so try using them before changing any of these settings:

• Primary resolution mode — Sets the resolution for your documents. Choose either normal, fine, superfine (“S Fine” on the

LCD

) or grayscale mode (“Gray”).

• Primary contrast mode — Sets how light or dark you want faxed documents to be when they arrive at their destinations.

• Scanning width — Sets how wide an area your machine scans for each page.

Note: The primary settings you choose effect your fax activity only. To set these modes:

Press /

Press or /

PROGRAM

until the mode you want appears.In this example,

we’ve chosen light contrast.

Press

ENTER

to save the setting.The

LCD

asks you to select a scanning width:

For most uses,“A4” is the proper setting. It scans the central 8.2″ of each page. But for documents with an unusual width, you may want to use the “B4” and “A3” settings, which scans the central 9.9″ and 11.6″ of each page. (See “A4,B4,

3” in the Glossary on page 3.17.)

Press or /

PROGRAM

until the mode you want appears.In this example,

we’ve chosen “A4”.

Press

Print settings

You can set three parameters for printing received fax messages:

• Print reduction rate

• Reduction margin

• Half-page reception You set all three in the same procedure, discussed on page 2.3. Following is a short

explanation for each:

Print reduction rate

Print reduction lets you set the machine to reduce large incoming documents to a size which fits on the paper in your machine.This setting doesn’t affect copies you may make with your machine.Fortunately, however, it also has copy reduction (see “Setting of enlargement and reduction for copying” on page 1.31).

Below are the options for both the print reduction and copy reduction settings:

Setting What it does

Automatically reduces printouts at variable rates down to a

Auto

minimum of 50%.Tries to reduce printout to fit on one sheet of your selected paper size. If it can’t, prints the image at 100% size on two or more pages.

100%

Does not reduce document. (Due to the sender’s

TTI

, this may print

two pages when receiving a one-page fax document. See 97%, below.) Reduces an original so that the final printout of a one-page-

97% document (if the original isn’t larger than the paper in your

machine) will only be one page long, even with the

TTI

91% Reduces documents slightly more. 81%

Reduces documents even more. Helpful for some international stationery sizes,as well as special applications.

75%

Turns legal-sized originals into letter-sized printed copies.

F or best results …

Whenever possible, load the correct size of paper before receiving a fax (or making a copy) of that size. Although it’s convenient,the reduction feature can’t be used for every situation.

Reduction margin

Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimeters (mm).We’ll define reduction margin by explaining how it’s used:

When a fax message enters your machine’s electronic brain,the machine measures the message’s length and compares it to (a) the length of your selected paper plus (b) the reduction margin you set.If the length of the incoming message is shorter than (a) and (b) put together, your machine prints the message on just one sheet. If it’s longer, your machine prints the message on more than one sheet.

Note: An Auto reduction setting and a reduction margin setting of 40mm will

print most incoming faxes as single pages.Try this combination first and then, only if you have problems with it, select different settings.

Half-page reception

Half-page reception can conserve paper if some of the faxes you receive are halfpage,“memo-sized” messages.When activated, this feature tells the machine to combine two of these half-page receptions onto a single sheet. Half-page reception only combines half-page messages sent back-to-back during the same transmission. It won’t combine two half-page faxes from separate transmissions.

Setting ECM

“Line noise,” or static on the line during a call, can easily disrupt the flow of data from one fax machine to another.

That’s why your fax machine gives you the option of using Error Correction Mode

(

ECM

). When two fax machines communicate while running in

ECM

, the sending machine automatically checks the data as it sends. If the receiving fax machine can’t verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send it as necessary.

Note:

ECM

gives you a better chance of transmitting a fax document over a bad phone line, but it could also slow down the transmission time.And the worse the line is, the slower the transmission. That’s why the machine lets you turn

ECM

on or off as needed.

Note: Not all fax machines have

ECM

. If you’ve activated

ECM

and then transmit to

a fax machine not currently using

ECM

, there will be no change in the fax

transmission from a usual, non-

ECM

transmission.

Beyond the Basics

Your fax machine’s autodialer stores your most frequently called phone and fax numbers for instant recall so you don’t have to remember them. It’s something like an electronic phone book.

Autodialer basics

How do you autodial?

There are two kinds of autodialer numbers.The difference between the two is how you dial them:

Type How to dial Amount stored

One-touch Press one of the keys, marked 01–72 72

on the right side of the control panel

Speed-dial Press

SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX

followed by a 128

three-digit identifier, from 001 to 128

Total amount of numbers stored 200

Autodialing fax and phone numbers

Your fax machine’s autodialer will hold more than just fax numbers.You can store phone numbers, too.

This is because when you use the autodialer to dial a number, the fax checks to see if there’s a document in its feeder. If there is,the machine dials as a fax machine.If there isn’t, it dials as a phone.

Location IDs and the EasyDial directory

When you store numbers in your autodialer, you can give these numbers descriptive names,such as “Chicago office”or “Billing department”.Your machine calls this name a Location ID.

Your machine’s autodialer sorts these location IDs alphabetically. Using your EasyDial directory, you can look up these numbers by their descriptive names, just as if you were using a phone book.

We’ll explain how to store the numbers and location

s in the next few pages.The

EasyDial directory is discussed in detail on page 2.15.

Special Dialing Characters

Your fax machine allows you to enter special dialing characters when programming the autodialer. These characters include hyphens and dashes, which make phone numbers easier to read, and special characters needed for international calls.

The chart below briefly describes each of these characters.It also tells you what keys to press on your fax machine to store those characters in your autodialer:

Char. What it does Keystroke(s)

Makes long numbers easier to read.

DIALING OPTIONS

(Has no effect in the United States.)

DIALING OPTIONS

“hears” a dial tone. Enters a pause. Each pause lasts two

seconds (or whatever length you set; see

REDIAL/PA USE

[after you enter

–/

page 1.18). Each pause uses two of the

at least one other character]

characters you can store in one phone number.

If your fax machine is on a pulse (not tone-dialing) line, switches from pulsedialing to tone (“

DTMF

”)-dialing. Use after

DIALING OPTIONS

the actual phone number but before any characters (such as a long-distance carrier’s access code) which must be in

DTMF

tone. Do not use on a tone line.

Beyond the Basics

Call groups

As you set up your autodialer, you may also want to set up call groups. These are sets of phone numbers that make it easy to send the same fax to many different locations. For example,one call group may include all of your clients in one city, another group may include all of your employees and another may include all your vendors.

Your fax machine can:

• Store as many as 200 numbers in up to 32 call groups

• Store one number in as many as 32 different groups

• Print a directory of your call groups (see page 2.14)

Using one-touch numbers

Your fax machine stores up to 72 one-touch numbers using the keys marked 01–72.

If the alternative number also fails, the fax alarm beeps to alert you to a problem.

Note: You can enter one alternative number for one speed-dial or one-touch

number you entered.Your fax holds a maximum of 10 alternative numbers in all, that is, only 10 speed-dials or one-touch numbers can have the alternative number. After you have entered the alternative numbers for 10 speed-dials or one-touch numbers,the fax will no longer show this display.

EasyDial directory dialing

EasyDial directory dialing makes your autodialer even more like an electronic phone book. EasyDial sorts and displays numbers alphabetically according to their Location IDs,so you can find them and dial them easily.

To dial using EasyDial:

For a regular phone call:Make sure there’s no document in the feeder, then skip to step 4. For a fax call:Insert the document.

Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.

If you want to toggle between transmission from memory and transmission from the feeder, press

Press

SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX

twice.The

LCD

shows the first listing in your fax

machine’s EasyDial directory:

The EasyDial directory sorts entries alphabetically in the following order: (1) by alphabet, (2) by number and (3) by symbol.

If the listing that appears is the one you want to dial, skip to step 6.

Scroll through the listings to find the one you want.You do this by pressing the following keys on the numeric keypad:

• 2 or 8 to select the character set — alphabet, number or symbol — for the first character of the Location ID.

• 4 or 6 to check different listings within that character set.

Note: The scrolling is “open-ended.” For example,when you run out of

listings beginning with alphabet “A”, pressing 4 or 6 automatically moves you into listings beginning with other characters.

When the

LCD

displays the name you want to dial,press

START

• If there is a document in the feeder, your machine will dial a fax call.

• If there isn’t a document in the feeder, your machine will activate the monitor speaker and dial a regular phone call. At this point, you may either: — Lift the handset now

— Listen to the monitor speaker until you hear the other person answer,

and then lift the handset.

To make a regular phone call from your machine, you must have an optional handset attached.

If an EasyDial call fails

If an EasyDial call fails,what happens next depends upon the kind of call it was.

If it was a fax call …

… Your fax machine automatically redials the number according to the redial inter-

val you’ve set (see page 1.22). It keeps trying until either of the following occurs:

• It successfully reaches the other number

• It has attempted the number of redials programmed and has still not connected (see “Changing redial settings,” page 1.22).

If it was a regular phone call …

… You’ll have to redial manually:

Broadcasting basics

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it. In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you just

add more fax numbers.You can enter up to 230 numbers:

•30 manually-dialed numbers AND

•200 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 200 autodialer numbers

You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad-

cast and even broadcast to “hub”units for F-Code relay broadcast initiation. All of these are explained in this chapter.

To send a broadcast fax:

Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as you would for a regular fax transmission.

Press

BROADCAST

Enter the first fax number,as usual. Use either a one-touch number, a speeddial number, a call group or a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad.

To add more fax numbers ,press

BROADCAST

between each one to insert a

comma.Then enter the number as described in step 3 (

GROUP DIAL

inserts its own

comma).Y ou can send to up to 230 numbers for a broadcast.

Important: Do not insert a comma after the last fax number. Note: If you enter characters by mistake, press

CANCEL

to erase them.

Press

START

.Your fax machine scans the document into memory and then

sends it to each number or call group you’ve entered.

Delayed broadcasting

What if you want the broadcast to take place later? That’s the purpose of setting up a delayed broadcast.

Note: Delayed commands are discussed in detail later.You may want to read

“Delayed transmission” on page 2.17 before proceeding.

Follow steps 1–4 of “Broadcasting basics” (left column).

Press

COM-OPTIONS,ENTER

Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and time (in 24-hour format) when you want the broadcast to occur. Here, we’ve scheduled it for 10:15 PMon the 30th.

When finished, press

Take advantage of lower evening and weekend long-distance rates with delayed transmission. Your fax machine can store up to 99 delayed commands, each of which you can program up to 31 days in advance.

Important: If you program all 99 delayed transmission commands, no further

memory transmission is possible until one or more of the commands is completed. (To review memory transmission,see page 1.18.) However, if all 99 delayed commands are programmed, you can always transmit manually using monitor/speaker dialing or an optional handset (see page 1.21).

Setting up a delayed transmission

Important: Your machine only remembers the day of the month that it’s supposed

to send a delayed transmission. It does not remember the month itself.So if you want to send a transmission at 5:05PMon June 26, don’t program the transmission sooner than 5:06PMon May 26.

Your fax machine has numerous special features to make your communication easier. We’ll cover them here.

Soft Keys

Soft Keys are shortcut keys.You can program the soft keys on the control panel to turn on or off any function with just the touch of a button.Your machine has three Soft Keys. If the light above any one of these keys glows, that means the setting programmed into that key is active.

These keys are programmed at the factory to turn the following functions on or off:

• Confirmation stamp (see page 2.5)

• Confirmation report (see page 2.30)

• Memory transmission (see pages 1.18) Note: The keys that are programmed at the factory turn the functions above them

on and off,but only for the next transmission that you send from your fax machine. Once that transmission is complete, your machine returns to its default setting.

But instead of using the Soft Keys to control the functions above, you can program them to turn other functions on or off.These functions are:

• Send TTI (see “Getting Started,” page 1.15)

• Cover page (see page 2.28)

Quick Memory transmission

Using Quick Memory transmission can save you time over standard memory transmissions.

For a normal memory transmission,your fax: (1) scans your entire document into memory, (2) dials the other fax machine, then (3) transmits the document.

But with Quick Memory transmission, your machine doesn’t wait to scan all pages into memory before dialing.After it scans the first page of your document, your machine dials the call.While dialing,connecting and transmitting, your fax machine continues to scan in the remaining pages of the document.

You can set your fax to always use Quick Memory transmission as the default. Important: Your fax machine’ s memory transmission feature must be turned on

to use Quick Memory transmission (see page 1.18).

Polling

Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without having to make the call or pay for it.There are several kinds of polling:

• Regular polling — Your fax retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.

• F-Code polling — Your fax retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote fax machine.T o do this,you must be communicating with another F-code-compatible fax machine.For more information on F-Code polling ,see “F-Code communication,” pages 2.46–2.47.

• Continuous polling — Your fax continuously retrieves a document from any remote fax machine at a designated time. For example,a hospital pharmacy can use this to check on orders waiting in fax machines throughout the hospital.

For polling to work,the remote machine must also be set up to be polled. See the remote machine’s operating instructions,if necessary.

Your machine’s closed network setting (see page 2.60) works for polling,also. If a calling fax doesn’t “present”the proper passcode, it cannot poll from your fax.

Note: If you’re using the Block Junk Fax feature (see pages 2.60–2.61), even

incoming calls which meet the passcode test must come from phone numbers you’ve approved.

OneLine + distinctive ring detection

Many phone companies now offer their customers a special service which makes it possible for one phone line to do the work of two.

With this service,you physically still have one phone line, but, electronically ,you have two phone numbers.Your phone recognizes these different numbers and rings differently for each one.

For example ,this makes it easy for you to have both a business number and a home number on one phone line, so you can answer one with “Jane Doe Consulting,” and the other with “Hello.”This works because you can tell the difference between the distinctive patterns of the two rings.

Your fax machine is also smart enough to tell the difference between two different numbers that are ringing it. All you have to do is set up your machine for the

OneLine + distinctive ring detection (

DRD

) feature.

In order to use OneLine +

DRD

, your phone company must set up your distinctive ring service.When it does,it will assign a ring pattern. For example, the standard telephone ring is 2 seconds “on”(ringing) and 4 seconds “off” (silent), after which it repeats itself.

Your fax has eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine +

DRD

One of them should work with your phone company’s

DRD

service.This chart lists

the patterns:

Pattern One complete ring pattern (seconds)

0.8 on, 0.4 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off

0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off,0.8 on, 4.0 off

0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off,0.3 on, 4.0 off

1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 off

0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off

0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off,0.5 on, 3.0 off

0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off

1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off

For example:pattern Cis 0.3 seconds ringing,0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,

0.2 seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent. Then it goes back to the first 0.3-second ring and starts over.

Call request

You can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation on the same call (although, not at the same time). This is called a call request. It doesn’t matter whether you’re sending the fax or receiving it.You may fax first and then talk, or talk first and then fax.

Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar

call-request capability. Your mac hine must also have an optional handset attached.

Note: Communicating this way disables “V.34” mode, causing the fax machine to

handle the call in normal

ITU-T

Group 3 fashion. See page 3.20 for more

information.

Lift your machine’s optional handset,and listen for a few seconds.You may hear a brief series of fax tones.

Shortly, the line will open and the person at the other end of the line will answer. You and the other person now can have a normal phone conversation.

Numbering pages

Just before sending a fax,you can set your fax machine to number each page.This will help the person receiving the fax to keep track of all the pages.

To set up page numbering:

Count the number of pages in your document.

Insert the document.

Adjust the resolution and contrast, if necessary.

If you want to toggle between a manual transmission or memory transmission, press

MEMORY TRANSMIT

The power of QuadAccess

Your fax machine’s QuadAccess feature sharply reduces the time you might spend waiting for the machine to finish its work. QuadAccess is a more powerful version of what already is a pretty powerful feature, called dual access.While a fax with normal dual access allows you to do two things at once,QuadAccess allows you to do four operations at once. For example, even if the machine is (1) printing a copy, (2) transmitting from memory and (3) scanning documents for a different memory transmission, you can still (4) program the machine.

Beyond the Basics

F-Code: an introduction

The

ITU-T

, the United Nations agency that standardizes international telecommunications, has created a fax industry standard for using sub-addressing and password-based communication. One name for this standard is F-Code, and that’s what we’ll call it in these instructions and on your machine’s display.

How sub-addressing works

To help understand sub-addressing, think about how someone in a large company receives mail. For example,mail for the Accounting department is first delivered to the company’s main mailroom.Then the mailroom routes the mail to Accounting.

That’s the idea behind sub-addressing.Your fax and another F-Code-compatible fax exchange special signals to indicate just where the fax really should go. It’s as if the sending fax is saying,“Deliver this to room 48, ”and the receiving fax does just that.

Your machine has up to 50 mailboxes for these special deliveries. When someone sends an F-Code fax to you, your machine receives it into one of those 50 mailboxes — whichever box the sender chooses.

Sending F-Code securely

For greater security, you can set up a password with each F-Code sub-address, which lets you use secure transmission, polling and relay broadcasting when communicating with any other F-Code compatible fax machine.

Guidelines for using F-Code

(1) To use

ITU-T

sub-addressing, you must create F-Code boxes in your machine

(2) Your mac hine holds up to 50 of these boxes (3) Your mac hine stores up to 30 documents into eac h F-Code box (eac h document

can include one or more pages)

Creating or modifying an F-Code box

Choosing the F-Code box type

Before you set up an F-Code box, first decide how your callers will use it — as a bulletin box, a security box or a relay box.

• Bulletin box — Stores documents that people in remote locations retrieve by polling the box. For example,your sales branches could call in at any time to get a printout of your latest prices that you’ve stored in a bulletin box.

A bulletin box stores both scanned and retrieved documents,and it holds its contents indefinitely (as long as the unit has ACpower).

• Security box — Receives and stores F-Code secure communications.

• Relay box — Receives documents,then relays them to other machines.The machine that relays the document is called a “hub”.Your fax machine can either send to a hub or it can be a hub.

4 elements of an F-Code box

Each F-Code box has the following four elements:

(1) F-Code box number (01-50) (2) F-Code box name (up to 16 characters) (3) F-Code sub-address (up to 20 characters - can include numbers and the * and #

characters only)

(4)I.D. Code (4 digits)

You will choose the information for each of these elements, and enter it into your machine.The following steps will walk you through entering and changing that information.

2.38

F-Code communication

Beyond the Basics

T o create or modify an F-Code box:

Keep pen and paper with you as you follow these steps.As you decide on a sub-address and enter it into your machine, write it down. Remember to: (1) write down which box goes with which sub-address, (2) write down any passwords or I.D. codes you enter, (3) keep these printed records in a safe place.

Using a security box

Printing a document you receive

When your fax machine receives a document via

ITU-T

sub-addressing to an F-Code security box, your machine prints a message to let you know. The message lists: (1) the F-Code box number that received the document, (2) the Box name, (3) the remote machine’s

TTI

(if any), and (4) the file numbers stored in the F-Code box.

You then have a certain number of days (see step 17 and 18 on page 2.41) in which to print out the document before your machine automatically erases it.

Note: For this operation to work,two things must be true:

• You must know the F-Code security box’s two-digit number .

If you set the Auto print mode to on when you created the relay box, your machine will print the received document, then relay it to the other machine. Otherwise, your machine will only relay it to the other machines,not print it. See “If you chose Relay,” pages 2.41–2.42 for more details on this setting.

Also, you can send (relay broadcast initiation) the document to another hub machine’s F-Code box and get that machine to relay it to others .See “F-Code transmission” on page 2.46 for more detail.

The hub performs a relay broadcast, and the machine which sends the original document to the hub has performed a relay broadcast initiation.

Erasing an empty F-Code box

An F-Code box must be empty in order to erase it. (If you select an F-Code box in these steps which is not empty, the machine beeps. If this happens,print all documents in that box before erasing it.)

Using the power of programmable one-touch keys

In order to complete some operations on your machine, you may have to follow several steps and press several different buttons.But programming your machine’s one-touch keys (73–76) can reduce those many steps to a simple press of a key .

You can “teach” the one-touch keys to carry out any of the following operations:

Communications functions:

• Delayed transmission (explained on pages 2.17–2.19)

• Broadcasting (pages 2.16)

• Regular polling (not continuous) (pages 2.31–2.32)

• Batch transmission (pages 2.20–2.23)

• F-Code transmission (pages 2.46–2.47)
