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 three levels of resolution:
• 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 set your fax machine to transmit in 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 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.

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 inches of clearance around your machine.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 ACpower outlet — The ACpower 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.

Installing the printing supplies
Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a laser print engine. The
engine 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 5,500 “normal”, letter-sized printouts (see
“Specifications,”page AI.1).
Note: The toner cartridge included with your machine is a starter cartridge which
yields 3,600 printouts (see “Specifications ,” page AI.1). Please purchase
regular, full-yield toner cartridges from your authorized Muratec dealer.
To install these supplies:
1
Press the printer cover
release and swing open
the printer cover.
2
Unpack the drum cartridge from its box.
Important: 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.
3
Put the drum cartridge into the printer
by aligning the cartridge’s protrusions
with the slits inside the printer frame.
Important: You must also reset the
drum counter. See
“Installing a new drum
cartridge” (page 1.7).
Setting up
4
Unpack the toner cartridge from its carton.
Hold the toner cartridge with both hands,and
shake it well as shown.
5
Install the toner cartridge in the printer, making sure that the cartridge’s four
pins (two at the front and two at the rear) fit in the slits inside the printer
frame.The toner cartridge will click into place when inserted correctly .
6
Close the printer cover. Push down on the
cover to lock it into position.
Note: The fax machine will not work if the
cover isn’t closed properly.
Note: If you encounter problems with
printouts, see “Print Quality
Problems” on page 3.3 for suggestions to correct them.
Installing a new drum cartridge
Your fax machine keeps track of how many pages go through the drum cartridge in
order to let you know when the drum needs to be replaced. So whenever you install
a new drum cartridge, you have to “notify” the machine by resetting the drum
counter. (Before resetting it the very first time,you’ll have to finish installing the
machine and then turn it on [see page 1.8].) To reset the drum counter:
1
Press /
PROGRAM,J
,2,3.The
LCD
shows:
2
Press
ENTER,ENTER
to reset the drum counter.
Loading paper
Your machine holds up to 650 sheets at a time: 500 sheets in the paper cassette and
150 sheets in the multipurpose tray .
Loading the paper cassette
1
Pull forward on the paper cassette to slide it out.
2
Insert up to 500 letter -sized sheets into the cassette, placing the edges of the top sheet under the
metal tabs on the left side of the cassette (viewed
from the cassette’s front,as shown).
Important: Load the cassette with letter-sized
paper only.
3
Push the paper cassette closed. You’ll feel a click
when it’s properly in place.
Loading the multipurpose tray
You may use either letter- or legal-sized paper in the multipurpose tray, but not both
at the same time. Do not mix paper sizes in one tray.
1
Adjust the multipurpose tray for the
length of paper you plan to load. Pull
slightly upward on the paper-length
guide in the tray,then slide the guide
to the slot (either
LTR
or
LGL
) for the
paper size you’re loading.
Important: You must set your machine to recognize the size of paper you’ve
loaded (see “Setting the paper size”on page 1.8 for details).
2
Slightly “fan”the paper you’re loading, to help ensure smooth feeding.
3
Insert up to 150 sheets of paper into the tray. Make sure the paper-length
guide and the paper -width guide now fit against the paper’s edges.
Important: To avoid paper jams, do not refill this tray without first remov-
ing all of the paper in it.

Getting started
EasyStart software is already installed on your Muratec fax machine.It guides you
through the process of entering your machine’s settings.
Remember that the settings you make here can always be changed later.We’ll
explain more in “Beyond the basics,” beginning on page 2.1.
Getting started
Determine the following before you go any further:
1
The type of dialing your telephone system requires — Choose either tone or
pulse (rotary) dialing.
2
The name and fax number you want to appear on your faxes —
Every fax page you send arrives at the receiving machine with a single line of
text at the very top of the page.This text lists a name and a fax number,
which are called a Transmit Terminal Identifier (
TTI
). The
TTI
cannot be longer
than 22 characters.

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 3 feet long.
The acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:
S
INGLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION
M
ULTIPLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION
Maximum: 11.0″×35.4″ Maximum: 10.1″×14.3″
Minimum: 5.8″× 4.1″ Minimum: 5.8″× 4.1″
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.
Reviewing contrast:
You have three choices for the contrast setting:
• Normal (“
NORM
” on the control panel) — Suited to most documents.
• Light — Lightens up overly dark, “muddy” original documents.
• Dark — Darkens weak, “washed-out” images.
Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just remember —
“Light lightens” and “Dark darkens” — to keep it straight.
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,”next page, 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.
Sending faxes
1.14
Getting started
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:
1
Press /
PROGRAM,J
,0,5,
ENTER
.
2
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.
3
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.
Adjusting the machine for larger documents
You can adjust the document hopper and the document tray to allow for large
documents. Just flip the top up or down as needed.
Using memory transmission
Your fax machine has a great memory! T ake 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.
To make memory transmission the default:
1
Press /
PROGRAM,J
,1,4,
ENTER
.
2
Press or /
PROGRAM
until the mode you want appears.
In this example, we’ve chosen Off.
3

call. (Example: Enter 9 to “dial out”from an office telephone system, or 1 for
long-distance.)
5
Press
START
.
By pressing
START
, you’ve just given your machine a command. In turn,your
machine gives this action a command number as it scans the fax document.
This command number appears on the first line of the LCD for a few seconds:
You’ll need this command number to cancel the transmission or to print a
stored document (see pages 1.17).
6
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 2.29.)
• If the fax has been set for the normal memory transmit, your machine first
scans the 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 w ant 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”

Also see “Redialing manually, ”below ,if the call fails.
Redialing
If your fax call fails,your machine automatically redials it. In this Auto Redial
mode, your fax automatically redials the number every few minutes (see “Changing
redial settings,”next page) until one of the following happens:
• It reaches the remote fax machine.
• It has attempted the number of redials programmed and has still not connected
(see “Changing redial settings,” next page).
While in the Auto Redial mode, the machine can continue to receive faxes and can
make as many as 99 fax transmissions.
Note: If you used either the speaker or a handset to dial the call, you must redial
manually (see below).
Note: If the last redial attempt fails,your machine may print (and/or display) error
messages.F o rmore information,see pages 3.5–3.7.

Using an answering machine with your fax machine
To connect your answering machine to your fax machine:
1
Set the fax machine for Ans/Fax Ready, as described on page 1.20.
2
Set your answering machine to answer calls after no more than two rings.
(See the answering machine’s instructions if necessary.)
3
Create a new outgoing message on your answering machine.
Here’s a suggested message:
Hello! You’ve reached [your name or telephone number].To 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 250 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.)
