We’ve divided these operating instructions into three sections.

•

“Getting started” (see page 1.1) covers only what you absolutely have to know to use your machine immediately.

•

“Beyond the basics” (see page 2.1) provides more details. When you have time, look through it to learn more about your machine’s many features, as well as fax in general.

•

Finally, “Just in case … ” (see page 3.1) will help you decide what to do if you ever have a problem with your machine. It also tells you how to give it the kind of easy, sensible care that should help keep troubles to a minimum.

The next two pages show the entire contents of these instructions. Skim through them now if you’d like (they’ll prove more helpful as time passes), or just go on past them to “Getting started” and, well, get started!

And thanks for choosing Muratec.

Find your serial number and write it down

Before you go any further, please note that your machine’s serial number is located on the bar code label as shown on the drawing at right. Please write this number in the box at the bottom of the page before you set up your machine.

Close up, the bar code label looks something like this:

A quick introduction to fax

What’s a fax document?

Simply put, a fax document is anything a fax user wants to fax to someone else. It can be just one page or as many pages as you need. It can be text, a drawing or even 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 even 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 specific levels of resolution:

• Normal (203 horizontal × 98 vertical lpi)

• Fine (203 × 196 lpi)

• Superfine (203 × 392 lpi). Grayscale levels — 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 64-scale grayscale.

So why not set your fax machine to use superfine or grayscale for all transmissions?

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!

What’s inside this section

The drawing below shows what should be included in the packaging:

* These parts are installed in the fax machine. ** This ferrite core will be used with an RS-232C cable if you decide to use the

Getting started

Pick an installation spot first

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

• Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine.

• In the open — Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around your machine. 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 of liquid could reach your fax machine.

• Level, and vibration-free.

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

• Near an ACpower outlet — Allow plenty of slack for your fax machine’s power cord. It should never be stretch to its 5-foot 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 will risk inadvertent shutoffs of your

machine, causing you to lose fax messages.

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

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

Note: To turn off the power to your fax machine,you have to unplug the power

cord from the wall socket or remove the power cord from the rear of the machine. For convenience, install the fax machine so that there is easy access to the power outlet.

Voltage requirements: 120

Loading paper

You can use either letter-sized (8.5″×11″) or legal-sized (8.5″×14″) paper in your fax machine. But do not mix the paper sizes together in the same tray.

The paper cassette holds up to 300 sheets of letter-sized paper.

Pull forward on the paper cassette to slide it out.

Setting up

Take off the cover.

Push the paper plate down until it locks into position.

Adjust the paper setting to the letter or legal position depending upon the size you are using. When you use legal-sized paper, pull the front part of the cassette toward you.

Turn the paper cassette upside down. Remove the paper guide.

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

Before you load paper into the paper cassette, tap the ends of the stack to make sure the edges and sides of the stack are even.

Insert up to 300 sheets of plain paper face down into the paper cassette, placing the edges of the top sheet under the metal tabs on the right and left side of the paper cassette. Do not stack the paper above the paper level indicator located on the inside of the paper cassette.

Put the cover back on the paper cassette.

Slide the paper cassette closed. You will feel a click when it’s properly in place.

Getting started

When you install a new ink film

Important: Use this setting only when you are installing a new ink film. Your fax machine indicates the ink film remaining by pressing

FILM

(see page 1.5) to let you know when it needs to be replaced. So, whenever you install a new ink film, you must “notify” the machine by resetting the film counter.

To reset the film counter:

Make sure there is no document in the feeder, and then press

FILM, CANCEL, CANCEL

to reset the film counter.

Attaching a second phone or an answering machine

It’s easy to attach a second phone or answering machine to your fax machine. If you do this, only your fax machine connects to the phone outlet in the wall. The

other device receives phone signals through your fax machine. To attach a second phone or answering machine:

If your second phone or answering machine is already plugged into a phone jack in the wall, disconnect it from that jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you

will need it in step 2.

Remove the modular cap on your fax machine. Then plug the line you disconnected from the wall jack in step 1 into the

EXT. TEL

jack on the left side of

your fax machine.

For information on how to use either an answering machine or second telephone with your fax machine, see “Receiving faxes,” beginning on page 1.21.

Some guidelines

How big — and small — your pages can be

You can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or nearly 3 feet long! To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:

INGLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION

ULTIPLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION

Document thickness: 0.06 to 0.13 mm Note: The maximum width of the scanned area is 8.2 inches. This means there

will be a 0.16-inch margin on each side of the page that your fax machine will not scan.

Things not to put in your fax

To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, do not 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 similar small, thick items

Some thoughts on resolution, grayscale and contrast

Reviewing resolution and grayscale

• Normal resolution is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.

• Fine resolution is ideal for maps, floorplans or handwritten documents.

• Superfine resolution reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.

• Grayscale mode (“

HALFTONE

” on the control panel) captures shades in photos and

drawings.

Note: If you send a fax in superfine, there are some machines that 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

(light-emitting diode) is glowing, your fax is set for normal resolution. Otherwise, a glowing

LED

indicates the fax is using that setting. 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 in the documents you send or copy.

You have three choices:

• Normal — Suited to most documents.

• Light — Lightens up overly dark, “muddy” original documents.

• Dark — Darkens weak, “washed-out” images.

Note: To avoid confusion, remember that the

LIGHT

contrast setting lightens and

DARK

contrast setting darkens.

To change the resolution, press

CONTRAST

repeatedly. A glowing

LED

(light-emitting diode) indicates the fax is using that setting. For example, in the drawing at left, the machine is set for dark contrast. If neither the

LIGHT

nor

DARK LED

is glowing, your fax is set for normal contrast.

Entering a pause character when dialing

Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses may also be required when dialing through special telephone exchanges.

To insert a pause character, just press

REDIAL/PAUSE

after you have dialed at least

one other character. The pause character (

-/ )

will appear on the display.

Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set five seconds, but can be changed to last for as long as 10 seconds. (See “Changing the pause length,” to change this setting.)

For example, assuming the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9,

REDIAL/PAUSE

, 19725552009 dials 9 [5-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.

Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you are allowed in a number.

Changing the pause length

The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long as ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause satisfactory with your phone system, do not make this change. But if want to change it:

Press

PROGRAM, J

, 0, 5.

Press

ENTER

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4. If not, go on to step 3.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the length you want for the dialing pause. You can choose between five and 10 seconds. Here, we chose nine seconds.

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

lengths other than 10 seconds.

Press

ENTER

to save the setting.

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail

Telephone call-waiting 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 getting fax calls.

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

How to insert a document

Adjust the document guides by sliding them to the left or right to fit the document(s) you are faxing. Your fax machine’s automatic document feeder (

ADF

)

will hold up to 30 pages.

If you are sending a multi-page document, “fan” the pages slightly. The first sheet should extend just slightly from the others.

Insert the document face down. The fax machine will “grab” the first page of the document and position it for faxing. If needed, readjust the document guides for the best fit.

The

LCD

now shows the amount of memory available:

Note: If the fax is set for non-memory transmission, the amount of memory

available is not shown:

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. Here’s a real money-saver on long-distance fax calls: if you’re transmitting to another memory-equipped Muratec 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 2.14–2.15) to send your document to that other Muratec fax machine after hours, and you can save more money, because the line charges will be cheaper.

You can set your fax to always transmit from memory as a default.

Note: Although it’s probably best to transmit from memory, please note there are

some documents that use up memory more quickly than others. They include documents with many pages and documents with a lot of dark areas, since darker pages create more data for your fax machine to “remember” and send. When the machine’s memory supply is full, it can transmit only

through the document feeder.

To make memory transmission the default:

Press

PROGRAM, J

, 1, 3.

Press

ENTER

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4. If not, go on to step 3.

… or …

• Use one-touch dialing (see page 2.8). … or …

• Use speed-dial dialing (see page 2.10). … or …

• Use the EasyDail directory (see page 2.13).

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

• If you set the fax to transmit from memory, your machine will first scan the document into memory, then dial the other fax. When it makes contact, your machine transmits the 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”, or black coverage, your machine “sees” on a page,

the more slowly the page scans it.Even if the page is relatively clean, sending it in grayscale mode or certain resolution settings makes your machine “see” more “stuff”. The same is true if you set the contrast to Dark.

Note: What if the call fails? See “If the call doesn’t go through: redialing,”

next page.

Important: If you want to cancel a transmission in progress, you will need

to use the Review Commands function. See “Canceling sending a document,” page 1.20.

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

Sending a fax with a handset or on-hook dialing (Manual sending)

You also can fax a document by dialing using either the handset or the monitor speaker. This is called “on-hook” dialing. Here’s how:

If the call doesn’t go through: redialing

Automatic redialing

If you dialed without using either the monitor speaker or the handset and the fax call fails, your machine automatically redials the call.

While your machine is waiting to redial, the

LCD

shows:

While in this Auto Redial mode, the machine can receive faxes and make as many as 30 fax transmissions.

Your fax will continue to redial the number every few minutes until one of these happens first:

• It reaches the remote fax machine.

• It has automatically redialed the number for the last try (again, see “Making redial settings,” next column).

Notes: If the last try fails, your machine may print (and/or display) error messages.

Formore information, see pages 3.4–3.7.

Note: If you used either the speaker or a handset, redial manually (see below).

Redialing manually

You can always redial fax or voice calls manually. And if you dialed using the monitor speaker or the handset, you must redial manually.

To redial a fax call manually without using the monitor speaker or the handset:

Make sure the document is in the feeder and that the resolution and contrast are set as you want it.

twice.

An introduction to Review Commands

To cancel either an in-progress transmission or an automatic redial from memory, use the Review Commands function. A short explanation:

• Because your fax machine can store multiple transmission commands in memory, it keeps track of each command by assigning it a command number — such as “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 not only to check on each command pending in your machine’s memory but also to delete a command if you decide not to send the document.

Press

REVIEW COMMANDS

The

LCD

Different ways to get the job done

Reception modes

Your fax machine has four different reception modes — Tel Ready, Fax Ready, Tel/Fax Ready and Ans/Fax Ready — each of which we’ll explain in a moment. We’ll also give you an idea of which one you should use, depending upon your setup.

Answering calls manually — for all reception modes

In any reception mode, you always can answer calls manually. Just pick your machine’s handset.

If you hear someone speaking to you, go ahead and have a normal phone call.

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

START

and hang up the handset.

Your fax machine will begin receiving a fax.

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

MONITOR/CALL

. The monitor function is

only for on-hook dialing. Your fax machine does not have a speakerphone.

Tel Ready mode

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

. . . and . . .

• You are using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not connected to your fax machine.

In this mode: Your fax machine never answers calls automatically; you must

answer each call as described in “Answering calls manually — for all reception modes” (left column).

To select Tel Ready:

Press

RECEIVE

repeatedly until the

TEL

light comes on.

Fax Ready mode

Use it if: You have your fax machine installed on a “dedicated” line (one it

doesn’t share with a second phone).

In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain num-

ber of rings (see page 2.4) and attempts fax reception.

To select Fax Ready:

Press

RECEIVE

repeatedly until neither

TEL, TEL/FAX

nor

ANS/FAX

light is glowing.

1.21

Getting started

Receiving faxes

Tel/Fax Ready mode

Use it if: You use your machine not only as a fax but also as a telephone. In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain num-

ber of rings (see page 2.4) and if you receive a voice call, alerts you with a special ring.

The Tel/Fax Ready reception mode is a mix between the Tel Ready and Fax ready modes.

To select Fax Ready:

Press

RECEIVE

repeatedly until

TEL/FAX

light comes on.

Fax primary mode in Tel/Fax Ready mode

Use the fax primary mode if you want your fax machine to:

• Answer incoming call without ringing. (However, it beeps at the end of reception. If you want to mute this beeping, use the silent mode, see page 2.5).

. . . but also . . .

• Alert you when a regular voice call comes in.

If a voice call comes in, your machine detects it and sounds a special ring for about 30 seconds. If you hear it, you will know you should answer.

To make your fax operate this way:

Set your fax machine for Tel/Fax Ready, as described above.

Press

PROGRAM, J

, 1, 9.

Press

ENTER

Note: In Tel primary mode, your fax machine answers each incoming call

after a certain number of rings.

Press or to select the Fax Primary mode.

Press

ENTER

to save the setting.

Note: Turning on the fax primary mode on your fax machine won’t turn off ringers

on other telephones in your house or office. Similarly, other phones won’t distinguish between fax and voice calls.

What if you answer a fax call?

With your fax machine in Tel/Fax Ready mode, you can easily use your fax machine on the same line as other telephone(s) already in your home or office.

Now, let’s deal with the two possible ways your phone(s) and your fax can live happily together on one line:

• A phone connected directly (physically) to your fax machine (see page 1.11).

• A phone, connected elsewhere in your home or office.

Using a phone connected to your fax machine

If you answer a connected phone and hear fax tones, simply press

START

and hang

up the handset. Your fax machine will receive the fax call.

Using a phone not connected to your fax machine

If you have another telephone connected to the same phone line as your fax machine, but not connected directly to your fax machine, you can still receive an incoming fax call using that phone. Here’s what to do if you answer that second phone and hear fax tones:

Don’t hang up the line! Instead:

• Put the telephone handset down without hanging it up . . . or . . .

• If the telephone has a “hold” feature, put the phone on hold and then hang up the handset.

Go to your fax machine.

Press

MONITOR/CALL

Press

START

Return to the telephone. If you didn’t put the phone on hold in step 1, hang up its handset.

Ans/Fax Ready mode

Use it if: You are using an answering machine connected directly to your fax

machine.

In this mode: An answering machine externally connected to your fax machine

answers each incoming call. If a voice call comes in, the answering machine will begin to record the incoming message. If the fax tone starts, your fax machine will detect it and receive the fax message automatically.

To select Ans/Fax Ready:

Press

RECEIVE

repeatedly until

ANS/FAX

light comes on.

Using an answering machine with your fax machine

If you are connecting an answering machine to your fax machine:

Follow the steps on page 1.11 to connect an answering machine to your fax machine.

On your fax machine, press

RECEIVE

until the

ANS/FAX

light comes on.

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

Finally, use your answering machine to create a new outgoing message. 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. However, your fax machine can accommodate these “silent” machines without dis-

rupting your answering machine operation. For more information, call your authorized Muratec dealer.

When the paper or ink film runs out

Getting the word from your machine

When your fax machine runs out of paper or ink film, it beeps, the

ALARM

light

glows and the

LCD

displays Check Rx Paper or Check Ink Film message.

Receiving faxes when out of paper or ink film

If your machine runs out of paper or ink film, it stores up to 50 separate fax receptions in memory. This is called out-of-paper reception. When you replenish the paper or ink film supply, the fax machine will print the stored messages automatically!

Note: How many pages (as opposed to receptions) your fax machine can store for

out-of-paper reception will vary. It depends on your machine’s memory capacity and the types of documents being sent to your machine. It also depends on the resolution settings the remote fax uses when sending faxes to your machine.

Note: During a power failure, all documents stored in memory will be backed-up

up to 72 hours*.

* The machine’s back-up battery requires about 1 day to reach full charge after to the fax

machine is restored.

You can make copies from your fax machine by using either the feeder or the machine’s memory.

Copying from feeder

Use this mode to make a single copy. Note: When you make a copy from the feeder, you cannot select the normal resolu-

tion.

To make a copy from feeder:

Insert the document face down. Adjust the document guides for a correct fit.

Press

COPY

. The

LCD

shows:

Note: If you enter the number of copies for each page, the machine automati-

cally switches to memory copy mode (see next column).

Press

COPY

again to begin copying.

Copying from memory

Use this mode to make multiple copies or reduced copies. The copy reduction rate can be set through the copy parameter settings (see page 2.4).

Note: Your machine automatically sorts multiple copies. For example, four copies

of the same two-page document will print as : 1,2 — 1,2 — 1,2 — 1,2.

To make a copy from memory:

Insert the document face down. Adjust the document guides for a correct fit.

Press

COPY

. The

LCD

shows:

If you want to make one copy of each page of the document from memory, enter 0, 1 using numeric keypad, then skip to step 4. If not, go on to step 3.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired number of copies for each page in the document. You may choose one (“01”) to 99 copies. Here, we chose three copies.

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

tities below 10 copies.

Press

COPY

to begin the copying.

Note: In this mode, the documents are stored in the memory before copying.

If the memory of your machine becomes low, a “Memory Over Flow” message is displayed on the

LCD

and no more documents will be stored. If this

happens, press

Setting the print parameters

You can set two parameters for printing received fax messages:

• Print reduction rate

• Reduction margin

Print reduction rate

Print reduction lets you set the machine to reduce a large incoming document to a size which will fit on your paper. Copy reduction lets you reduce the size of copies made on your fax machine. Here are the options for both print reduction and copy reduction settings:

Setting What it does

Automatically reduces printouts at variable rates down to a

Auto

minimum of 75%. Tries to reduce printout to fit on one sheet of your selected paper size; if cannot, prints the image at 100% size on two or more pages.

100%

Performs no reduction. (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 docu-

97% ment (if the original is not larger than the paper in your machine)

will be only one page long, despite the

TTI

91% Provides slightly more reduction. 81%

Provides even greater reduction. Helpful for certain international stationery sizes, as well as special applications.

75%

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

Reduction margin

Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimeters (mm). 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 the sum of (a) and (b), your machine prints the message on just one sheet; otherwise, it 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.

Setting ECM

Static on a phone line during a call may ruin your attempts to communicate via fax. This is because “line noise” can easily disrupt the flow of data from one fax machine to another.

That’s why your fax machine gives you the chance of operating in Error Correction

Mode (

ECM

). When two fax machines communicate while running in

ECM

, the sending machine automatically checks the data, block by block, as it sends. If the receiving fax machine cannot verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send the information.

Note: While using

ECM

gives you a better chance of getting a fax document through a troublesome phone line, it could also slow down the transmission time. That’s why we let you turn

ECM

on or off as you require.

Note: Not all fax machines have

ECM

. If you have activated

ECM

and then transmit

to a fax machine not currently using

ECM

, there will no change in the fax

transmission from a usual, non-

ECM

Num. Une-Touche

Your fax machine’s autodialer stores your most frequently called phone and fax numbers so you don’t have to remember them. The autodialer also makes it easy to dial even the most complicated international calls!

Autodialer basics

How do you autodial?

There are two kinds of autodialer numbers. The difference between the two is how you “call them up,”:

• One-touch — Pressing one of the keys, marked A–Oon the control panel.

• Speed-dial — Pressing

SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX

followed by a three-digit identifier,

from 01 to 85.

How big is the vault?

Your fax machine can store a total of 100 numbers — up to 15 one-touch numbers and up to 85 speed-dial numbers.

Which number is which?

Your fax machine’s autodialer will hold both fax numbers and phone numbers. This is possible because your fax machine first checks to see if there’s a document in

the feeder. If there is, the machine dials as a fax machine. If there isn’t, it dials as a telephone.

EasyDial directory — or, What the heck’s a Location

Your machine also features a built-in EasyDial directory (see page 2.13) which acts as a phone book for your fax and phone numbers. Just enter your fax/phone numbers along with their descriptive names in the EasyDial directory. (Your machine calls this name a Location ID.) The autodialer sorts these alphabetically so, with EasyDial, you can look them up by name as if you were using a phone book.

Special dialing characters

Which number do you find easier to read: 919725552009 or 9-1-972-555-2009? Obviously, it’s the second one. The hyphen (or dash) character (“-”) separates the

numbers. In this example, a 9 is entered for outside-line access, a 1 is entered for long-distance access, then the area code and the phone number are entered.

The hyphen can also be important if you have to use special long-distance access codes or country codes for international calling.

Also, certain calls require special symbols besides just numerals. If you make calls to other countries — or just have your fax machine on an unusual phone system — you will want to be able to put the appropriate characters in the numbers you store.

That’s why your fax machine allows you to enter special dialing characters. Below is a brief description of these characters, as well as how you can put them in the numbers you store in the autodialer:

posed to perform a delayed transmission. It does not remember the month itself. If you want your fax to do something at 5:05PMon June 26, do not make that setting sooner than 5:06PMon May 26.

To set up a delayed transmission:

Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments.

Press

COM-OPTIONS

twice. The

LCD

shows:

Press

ENTER

. The

LCD

shows the current day of the month, followed by the

current time (in 24-hour format):

Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and the time you want the delayed transmission to occur.

Note: To move the cursor to a specific digit, press to move the cursor to

the left, or move it to the right, to that digit.

Here, we set the transmission to occur on the 11th at 11:05

When the date and time entry is as you want it, press

ENTER

to save the

delayed transmission. The

LCD

shows:

Enter the fax number to which the delayed transmission should go. You may either press a one-touch key, enter a speed-dial number or just use the numeric keypad to enter the number.

Note: If you make a mistake, press

CANCEL

to erase to the left. Or, if you want to change just one character in the number, press to move the cursor to the left, or to move it to the right, to that character and press

CANCEL

to erase it. Then re-enter the number until it is just as

you want it.

Press

START

. Your machine will return to its normal standby mode, while

showing this on the

LCD

This means your fax machine is “reserved” for the delayed transmission command you just programmed. If you set the machine for transmission from memory, it will scan the delayed command document into memory, and you can use the machine normally. If you set the machine for transmission from the feeder, the machine can receive faxes but cannot transmit until the delayed command is completed.

Important: If you have stored too much information in your machine’s memory, a

“Memory Overflow” message may appear on the

LCD

. This appears because 1) too many pages have been stored in the memory, or 2) the pages that are stored have too much information on them for your fax machine to remember.

If this message appears, press

START

to tell your fax to keep as many

pages in memory as possible, or press

CANCEL

to delete from memory

all pages stored during this operation (but not previous operations).

2.Delayed

Reviewing or canceling delayed commands

If you have stored a delayed command in your fax machine, it will hold it in memory until it either completes the command successfully or reaches its maximum number of redial attempts (see page 1.19). Your machine can store up to 30 delayed commands. It identifies each by a two-digit command number ranging from 01 to 30.

The same procedure lets you display your machine’s stored commands and gives you a chance to cancel them, if necessary:

Press

REVIEW COMMANDS

• If your machine is currently holding no delayed commands — It will beep briefly and display “No Command” on the

LCD

. To return to

standby mode, press

STOP

• But if there are commands in your machine’s memory, the

LCD

shows:

Here, you see command 01, followed by the phone number it is set to dial.

• If the command is to perform a broadcast or sequential polling, “Broadcast” will appear instead of the phone number. (See “Broadcasting,” pages 2.16–2.18.)

• If the command is to perform a one-touch dial, a one-touch number will appear instead of the phone number.

• If the command is to perform a speed-dial, a speed-dial number will appear instead of the phone number.

Note: If your machine is attempting to perform a command now, it will

appear on the display. To cancel this command, skip to step 3. To review a different command, proceed to step 2.

If necessary, press or repeatedly to scroll through currently stored commands.

If you want to cancel the command currently shown, press

CANCEL

The

LCD

shows:

To keep this command but continue reviewing stored commands, press

PRO

GRAM

To keep this command and stop reviewing commands, press

STOP

to return

your machine to standby mode. To cancel the command, press

CANCEL

again and return to step 2 to view

other commands.

Printing a delayed command list

Can’t remember the details about a delayed transmission command you set up? Or, has someone in your office set up a delayed command and now you have no idea why the machine is “reserved” and how long it will stay that way?

For situations like these, your machine can print a command list which tells you:

• The command’s identification number

• The phone number, one-touch number or speed-dial number

• The start time (which appears in the same DD,HH:MMformat you saw in the previous instructions for actually setting up a delayed transmission command)

• A “Option” telling the fax communication options, such as delayed, broadcast,

polling, etc..

• A “note” shows group number if the command is a relay broadcast initiation operation (see page 2.17 for more information)

To print a delayed command list, press

PROGRAM, F

, 1,

ENTER

Printing a stored document

Your fax machine can produce a printout of each document stored for delayed transmission. You will need to know the document’s command number, which you can confirm by either reviewing the commands (see left column) or printing a delayed command list (see above).

Press

PROGRAM, F

, 2,

ENTER

. The

LCD

shows:

Use the numeric keypad to enter the command’s identification number, 01–30. For example, we could enter the following for the very first command, 01:

Broadcasting

The basics of broadcasting

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is broadcasting. You can

use broadcasting from any function requiring the entry of a fax number!

That means you can perform delayed broadcasting (see right column) and even broadcasting to “hub” units for relay broadcast initiation (see next page).

In an ordinary broadcast, you send a fax as you normally would, except you add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 120 numbers (20 normally dialed numbers, plus 100 autodialer numbers).

Note: If you frequently broadcast a document to the same set of remote fax

machines, you can group these units’ phone numbers together under a programmable one-touch key (see page 2.28). In this way, you can initiate a broadcast at the touch of just a single button.

We’ll assume you are familiar with regular fax transmission, and shorten the instructions.

Insert the document and make any necessary adjustmentsl.

Press

COM-OPTIONS

once.

Press

ENTER

. The

LCD

shows:

Enter the first fax number — a one-touch number, a speed-dial number or just a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad.

To add each additional fax number, press

ENTER

between each one to insert a comma, then enter the number as in step 3. You can include up to 120 numbers for a broadcast (see first paragraph, above).

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

CANCEL

to clear them

before proceeding.

Press

START

. Your fax machine will scan the document into memory and then

send it to each number you have entered.

Delayed broadcasting

What if you want the broadcast to happen later? That’s the purpose of setting up a

delayed broadcast.

Follow steps 1-5 of “The basics of braodcasting” (left column).

Press

COM-OPTIONS

twice.

Press

ENTER

. The

LCD

shows the current date and time, such as:

Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and time you want the fax broadcast to occur. Here, we set it to occur at 10:15 PMon the 30th.

When finished, press

ENTER

to save the setting.

Now, press

START

Relay broadcast initiation

Relay broadcasting is a powerful function that takes advantage of a remote “hub” to reduce your total communication costs.

A “hub” fax machine is one to which you send a document, which in turn relays it to other machines which you do not actually call. The “hub” performs a relay broad- cast, and the machine which sends the original document to the “hub” has performed a relay broadcast initiation.

Your fax machine does not have relay broadcast feature, but it does have relay broadcast initiation.

How it works

Let’s say you’re in Los Angeles and need to fax the same document to four locations in the Chicago area. You could send fax transmissions to each location, but that would be four long-distance calls. With relay broadcast initiation, you send the document once to your Chicago office’s “hub” fax, which then sends it on to each of the four locations.

What happens when you perform relay broadcast initiation:

• You use your fax machine to send a document to at least one call group in a remote “hub” machine’s autodialer. This can occur either immediately or as a delayed command (see pages 2.14–2.15).

• The remote “hub” unit receives your document and stores it in memory.

• The remote machine retransmits — relays — the document to each fax number in each call group you specified. This is the relay broadcast you initiated.

Setting up, a relay broadcast initiation

For you to perform relay broadcast initiation, three things must be true:

• The remote fax machine must be a Muratec fax machine with “hub” capability. Note: If you are not sure whether the unit to which you want to transmit is a

true “hub” unit, please consult your authorized Muratec dealer.

• The call group(s) must exist on the remote fax machine.

• You must know each call group’s identifier number.

To set up a relay broadcast initiation:

Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments.

Press

COM-OPTIONS

three times.

Press

ENTER

Use the numeric keypad to enter the two-digit identifier of each call group you want in the remote “hub” fax machine you will be calling. You can specify up to 10 groups for each relay broadcast initiation. Do not press

START

To add a group after the first one, press

COM-OPTIONS

to add a comma.

Below, we have entered 2,

Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without the other person having to make (and pay for) the call. Your machine can perform:

• Regular polling — Retrieves a document from the remote fax machine.

• Sequential polling — Retrieves a document from several remote fax machines.

•F-code polling — Retrieves a document from a fax machine that supports

ITU-T

sub-

address transactions. (See “F-code polling,” on pages 2.26—2.27.)

-code communication

F-code: an introduction

The

ITU-T

, part of the United Nations agency that maintains international telecommunications standards (see the Glossary that begins on page 3.16), has now created a fax industry standard for using sub-addressing and password-based communications with not only other Muratec fax machines but also other manufacturers’ machines. One name for this standard is F-Code, and that is what we’ll call it in these instructions and on your machine’s display.

How sub-addressing works: think of a mailroom

If you are new to the concept of sub-addressing, think about how someone receives mail addressed to a department within that person’s company. For example, mail for Accounting gets to the mailroom for the entire company. The Mail Department then routes the mail to Accounting.

That’s the idea behind sub-addressing. Once your fax and another F-Code-compatible fax begin their communication, they exchange special F-Code signals to indicate just where the fax really should go. It’s as if the sending fax were saying, “Take this one and deliver it to room 48” and the receiving fax were replying, “48? OK, will do.”

For greater security, you can set up an

ITU-T

-compatible sub-address and password with F-Code, which lets you use secure transmission and polling in communication with any other fax machine, so long as it, too, uses the F-Code standard from

ITU-T

To use

ITU-T

sub-addressing and password features, you must create F-Code boxes in your machine. Your machine can use up to 10 of these boxes. You can store up to 30 documents (not pages) into each F-Code box.

Setting up the F-code boxes

Before you set up an

-code box, there are a few things you should know:

• The remote fax machine must support the

ITU-T

subaddress and password capa-

bilities, and the remote fax users must be using it.

• Your machine’s F-code box works like a normal SecureMail mailbox except that

it accepts and stores

ITU-T

-standard F-code secure communication.

• The received documents are stored in the

-code box.

To print them, you have to enter an

I.D

. code.

(See “Print a document received in

-code box,” page 2.25.)

• Your machine can create up to 10 F-code boxes. Each box can receive up to 30

documents.

Creating or modifying an F-code box

To use the F-code box, you must have the F-code boxes set up on your fax machine. You may also want to modify existing

-code boxes (but, to do so, you must know the

each box’s I.D. code; see step 5 and step 14). To create or modify an F-code box:

Press

PROGRAM, E

, 1.

Press

ENTER

. Depending on whether you already have a name entered for

-code box 01, the

LCD

shows briefly:

then it will show either:

If this is the F-code box you want to set, skip to step 4. (However, our samples from here on will refer to F-code box 03, rather than 01.)

Use the numeric keypad to enter the two-digit number (01-10) of the

-code box you want to create or modify. (Use a leading zero for numbers below 10.) Here, we have entered 0, 3 and see:

If you decide you want to select a different

-code box, just use the numeric keypad to enter the two-digit number for the box you want before going on to step 5.

Press

ENTER

• If you are creating this F-code box for the first time, the following display

won’t appear. Skip to step 6.

Printing a document received in an

-code box

When your machine receives a document via

ITU-T

sub-addressing from another fax machine, your machine will print a message alerting the person for whom the document is intended. Then the person has a certain number of days in which to print out the message before your machine erases it. (see step 13, on page 2.23)

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

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

•You must know the four-digit I.D. code for the F-code box.

To print a received message from an

-code box:

Press

PROGRAM, E

, 3. The display shows:

Press

ENTER

If this box holds the document you want to print, skip to step 4. If not, go on to step 3.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the two-digit number (01-10) of the

-code

box currently “holding” the document you want to print. We enter 03.

Press

ENTER

. The display will show:

Note: If the F-code box is holding no documents at this time, the

LCD

shows

this briefly before returning to step 3:

In step 3, be sure to select an F-code box that is holding at least one document.

Use the numeric keypad to enter your

-code’s four-digit I.D. code.

Here we enter 2345:

Press

ENTER

• If you enter the correct I.D. code, your fax machine will print all documents in this F-code box and then erase them.

• If you enter an incorrect I.D. code, your fax machine will refuse to print the document.

F-code transmission and polling

With F-code, your machine can send secure transmissions to other manufacturers’ machines, and perform polling from other makers’ machines, as well. You can do this in one of two ways:

• Press a programmable one-touch key programmed for sub-address sending. (See “Programmable one-touch key,” on pages 2.32-2.35)

. . . or . . .

• Enter the

ITU-T

subaddress and password directly, which is what we will now

describe.

Note: For F-code communication to occur, three things must be true:

• The remote fax machine must support

ITU-T

sub-addressing (and pass-

word) capabilities.

• A mailbox (F-code box) with an

ITU-T

subaddress must exist on the remote

fax. (It does not have to have an

ITU-T

password.) If the other machine

doesn’t have not at least one box with a subaddress,

-code communication

will be impossible.

• You must know the

ITU-T

subaddress and (if applicable) password informa-

tion for the mailbox (F-code box) on the remote machine.

Programmable one-touch keys

Using the power of programmable one-touch keys

The programmable one-touch keysP1–P5 simplify complex fax operations, letting you really tap into your machine’s power.

You can “teach” these keys the following multi-step operations for one-key press convenience:

• Delayed transmission (pages 2.14–2.15)

• Broadcasting (page 2.16)

• Relay broadcast initiation (pages 2.17–2.18)

• Polling, regular or sequential (pages 2.19–2.20)

•F-code transmission (pages 2.25–2.27)

•F-code polling (pages 2.25–2.27) Setup for each operation is very similar. Each time, you tell the machine four

things:

• How — The key you are programming

• Who — The number(s) the machine should dial

• What — The operation it should perform

• When — The date(s) and time(s) when you want it to perform the operation.

Programming a delayed transmission

Beyond the basics

Your machine’s security features can help you keep private fax documents private, avoid unwanted outside communication and even protect against unauthorized use of your machine.

The key to it all: the passcode

Your machine has a protection passcode system which is central to the machine’s security features. If you set the passcode to anything besides 0000, this passcode provides access to many other security features.

To set your machine’s passcode:

Decide upon the four-digit passcode (0001–9999) you want to use. Write the passcode down, and put it in a safe place.

Important: Do not use 0000. This turns off passcode protection.

Press

PROGRAM, J

, 1, 5.

Press

ENTER

If you are creating the passcode, use the numeric keypad to enter 0000. If you are modifying an existing passcode, enter the existing passcode.

Press

Enter the desired four-digit passcode. Here, we enter 6296:

Press

ENTER

to save the passcode.

Note: Anytime you want to turn off the passcode, repeat steps 1–7 and enter 0000

in step 6.

Operation protection

Important: For this feature to work, you must have set the passcode, as described

in the left column.

When operation protection is activated on your machine, only users who enter the proper passcode (see “The key to it all: the password,” left column) can use it.

Using your fax machine during operation protection

When you press any key on your machine, the

LCD

shows:

Use the numeric keypad to enter the four-digit passcode (here, we enter the passcode we set previously; see page 2.37).

If you enter the correct four-digit passcode, the machine now will let you go on to the next step in the fax operation.

Note: If you start an operation while the first is still underway, the machine will

again ask for the passcode before proceeding with your new request. However, the first operation will proceed unaffected, even if you fail to enter the correct passcode for the second entry.

Security reception

With your fax machine’s security reception, you can tell it to keep all received faxes in memory and not to print them. Later, you instruct it to print out the saved faxes. This is great if, for example, you have concerns about after-hours workers nosing around in documents intended for your eyes only!

Important: For this feature to work, you must have preset the passcode (see page

2.37) to something besides 0000. You must also know the passcode.

ments in its memory and then erase them. It will also turn security reception off until the next time it’s programmed to security receive.

• If you enter an incorrect code, your fax machine will refuse to print and

security reception remains active.

• If your fax machine has not received any documents, “No Doc. Stored”

message will show on the

and security reception remains active.

Masking the PIN

To prevent unauthorized long-distance calls, some office telephone systems require you to enter not only the phone number but also a personal identification number

(

) whenever you dial an outside number beginning with 1.

If that’s true for you, you’ll probably want to keep that

confidential, so unautho-

rized persons can’t use it. Fortunately, your fax’s

mask feature makes such

confidentiality possible. With the

mask activated, you can dial a fax number

plus a

will not appear in a journal, error message printout, delayed

command list or even

TCR

, where an unauthorized user might see it. The

may be up to eight characters in length (it can include the * or # symbols, if necessary), and can be entered from the numeric keypad.

Important: For this feature to work, the passcode (see page 2.37) must be some-

thing besides 0000. You must also know the passcode.

There are three possible settings for the

mask feature:

• Off — The feature is not working. Any

you enter will appear on any display

or printout which shows what you dial.

• Mode 1 — Each remote fax unit has a departmental

access code. This count

• Mode 2 — Each fax user has a departmental

access code. This counts the

number of telephone calls the user has made.

Note: If you select Mode 1 and you will use a one-touch or speed-dial number, you

must store the

access code for the remote unit within that number. However, if you select Mode 2, this is not necessary. (See “Autodialing while using the

mask,” page 2.40 for further details.)

Setting for use with a closed network

For maximum communications security, use a closed network. This limits your machine to faxing to and from only other Muratec fax machines with the proper passcode.

Important: The passcode you use for closed network operation (and limiting polling

access; see page 2.20) is not the same as the protection passcode.

Once set for a closed network, your machine will disconnect calls coming in from other machines.

To set your fax machine’s closed network password:

Decide upon the four-digit closed network passcode (0000–9999) you want to use. Write it down, and put it in a safe place.

Setting Block Junk Fax

Your fax machine’s Block Junk Fax feature lets you bar the gates against unauthorized incoming faxes (“junk fax”). Before beginning, first understand how this feature works, to determine if it’s right for you. There are four possible settings:

• Off — The feature is not activated.

• Mode 1 — Your fax machine checks whether any phone number in your autodi- aler matches the last four digits of the remote fax’s subscriber

. If it doesn’t

find a match, your machine disconnects the call.

• Mode 2 — This mode rejects any call from a number whose last four digits match any number in the blocked numbers list.

• Mode 3 — This rejects both numbers notin the autodialer and numbers that are in the blocked numbers list. This lets you keep a number on your autodialer yet still block its incoming calls by putting it in the blocked numbers list.

Before you activate the Block Junk Fax feature, consider:

• Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber

s. —

With this feature activated, your machine would reject faxes from such machines.

• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with these longdistance or other codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those faxes.

If you decide to activate Block Junk Fax, here’s how:

• Assigned number, starting each day at number 1

• Remote location called

• Resolution mode

• Starting date and time

• Duration, in minutes and seconds

• Length, in number of pages

• Result of the call — If preceded by an asterisk (

), this signifies an

ECM

communi-

cation (see page 2.4)

• Any special operations — For example, a fax call made using an handset will appear as “Manual”

OneLine + distinctive ring detection

It used to be that, to have two phone numbers, you had to have two phone lines, along with the expensive phone equipment that goes with it. But 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.” You get the idea. This works because you can tell the difference between the distinctive patterns of the two rings.

Your fax machine, too, is smart enough to tell the difference between two different numbers that is ringing it. All you have to do is give it a little help at the beginning and begin to enjoy the benefits of its OneLine + distinctive ring detection (

DRD

) fea-

ture.

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, expressed in time. For example, the standard telephone ring is 2 seconds “on” (ringing) and 4 seconds “off” (silent), after which it repeats itself (hence the term, ring pattern).

TCR : On

TCR : Off

Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example, “short-short-long” — of their

DRD

ring patterns. Fortunately, though, 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

0.4 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 ms 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

2 on, 4 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.

To use

DRD

on your fax machine:

Contact your phone company and confirm that the phone company has set up

DRD

service for you. If possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the

phone company has assigned you.

If you see the setting you want, skip to step 5. If not, go on to step 4.

To change the setting, press or once or twice until the mode you want appears. Here, we chose On.

Press

Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern

specifications, or if you otherwise encounter a problem while trying to use your machine’s

DRD

feature, please try

ALL

of the listed ring

patterns. (If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns,

please call the Muratec Customer Support Center. From the United States, call 972-364-3350; for the number to call from Canada, check your in-box documentation).

Important: With your machine set for

DRD

, it won’t respond to any ring pattern other than the one you selected above. To reset the fax so it will respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4. But in step 3, toggle it to “Off.” Your fax will now respond normally.

Call request

Wondering why your monitor speaker’s activation key is called

MONITOR/CALL

Now, we will explain the

CALL

part of the name. It may be hard to believe, but you

actually can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation

on the same call (although, obviously, not at the same time). This is called a call request. It does not matter whether you are 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.

Faxing/receiving first, then talking

To send or receive a fax first and then talk:

While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press

Responding to a call request

If someone requests a call from you during a fax communication, you will hear a long ring after the receiving machine has received each page. To answer the call request:

Lift your machine’s 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.

Caller-ID

Caller-IDis your local telephone company’s service that allows you to see a display of the caller’s phone (or fax) number or name before either your fax machine automatically receives the call or you pick up the handset.

If you order the caller-IDservice from your local telephone company, the following information will show on the

LCD

while your machine is ringing:

• The first 16 characters of the caller’s phone number or name on the

LCD

— If both the caller’s phone number and name are received, only the name will appear on the

LCD

. . . or . . .

• “Private”, meaning that the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. . . . or . . .

• “Out Of Area”, meaning that the call came from outside your caller-

service

area.

Note: Your fax machine cannot receive the caller-IDin the following cases:

• While either the fax machine is communicating or you are making a telephone call.

• The number of rings is set to one ring. Please set the number of rings to two or more rings to receive the caller-

• The line condition is poor.

Note: For more information about caller-IDservice, please contact your local tele-

phone company.

Caller -IDdirectory dialing

Your fax machine saves the 10 most recent incoming caller-

s. When the 11th call

is received the oldest caller-IDwill be erased automatically.

Note: To use the caller-IDdirectory, at least one caller-IDmust be received.

If you want to use the caller-IDdirectory to make a regular phone call, make sure there is no document in the feeder and then skip to step 3.

What’s inside this section

Just in case …

We designed your fax machine to work reliably for years. However, you may occasionally experience a paper jam. Here’s what to do.

If an original document jams

Open the control panel by placing your fingers on its upper left and right corners and gently tilting the cover toward you. This will release the original document.

Note: Open the control panel

until it stops.

Lift the original document from your fax machine.

Gently close the control panel, making sure both sides are snapped down securely. Then try the transmission again.

Note: If the original document has become wrinkled or torn, do not re-send

it.

If a printout jams

To clear a printout jammed at the paper cassette:

Pull forward on the paper cassette to slide it out.

Remove the jammed paper carefully by pulling it out.

To clear a printout jammed inside your fax machine:

Open your fax machine’s top cover by pressing the top cover release button.

Just in case …

Remove the ink film cartridge by grabbing the handles on each side of the cartridge and lifting it straight up out of the machine.

Note: The diagram (right)

shows a view from the left side of the machine.

Gently pull the jammed printout

up and out.

Hold the cartridge over your fax machine. Position the cartridge so that its arrow mark is over the machine’s arrow mark. (The supply roll should be in the front of the machine.)

Gently put the cartridge back into the fax machine. If positioned correctly, it will “drop” in smoothly.

Important: Your fax machine will

not work if the cartridge is not inserted properly.

Gently close the top cover, pressing firmly on both sides of it until you hear it click.

Important: Your fax machine will

not work if the top cover is not closed properly.

Occasionally during transmissions, your fax machine will encounter trouble in transmission or reception. If it does, its alarm will sound. You can identify the problem with

LCD

messages, printed check messages and error reports.

Alarm

Your fax machine will sound an alarm — a series of short beeps — if either of these two problems occurs:

• It has trouble transmitting or receiving.

• It runs out of paper or ink film.

Errors

Your machine occasionally experiences communications errors, which may be caused by anything from lightning to telephone line interference. The fax machine at the other end of the line can also cause communication errors.

Trying your call may be all that’s necessary. However, if the problem persists regu-

larly, call your local telephone company for help. If that call does not help and the problem persists regularly, call your authorized Muratec dealer.

Error reports

When an error occurs, your fax machine prints an error report. Each fax error report lists an error message which includes:

• A possible solution to the problem

• The sending location (if the remote fax stores a Location IDof its own)

• The result — which is a special error code.

• A sample of the document’s first page.

Kinds of error codes

The error code listed in the “Result” column of the error report indicates the specific problem encountered:

• “D” codes — Occur while dialing

• “R” codes — Occur during reception

• “T” codes — Occur during transmission

Specific errors

Some of the error codes you may see on an error report:

Dialing errors

.0.3, D.0.8 The remote unit did not respond, the call could not be completed or

STOP

was pressed while the unit was dialing.

Try the call again. If your machine repeats the message, call the remote fax user to verify that the unit is operating properly.

D.0.2 The remote fax machine is busy. Call again. D.0.6, D.0.7 Either the remote fax unit did not respond, the call did not go through

or someone pressed

STOP

while the calling fax machine was dialing.

Call again.

Reception errors

.1.1 The calling fax machine did not respond to your fax machine. This can

happen if someone dials a wrong number or if the remote machine restricts access through use of a passcode.

.1.2 The two fax machines were incompatible. Your fax machine sends and

receives only

ITU-T

Group 3 fax communication, the industry standard

since the early 1980s.

.1.4 Someone pressed

STOP

“Check Message” printouts

When your machine detects an error on a fax call, it produces an error printout headed by the words “Check Message.” This printout lists the following information about the transmission:

• The resulting error code

• A communications error message (see “What error messages can mean,” below)

• The phone number of the fax machine with which your machine had attempted to communicate

What error messages can mean

The error messages on Check Message printouts can mean a variety of things. Here is a brief summary:

Error message Possible meanings

With proper installation and a little maintenance, your fax machine should give you dependable service for years to come.

Follow these suggestions to keep it in top form:

• Always make sure your fax machine is installed according to our specifications, including using an electrical surge suppressor. (If necessary, review “Pick an installation spot before going ahead,” page 1.6.)

• Always use good, copier-quality paper.

• Always clean your fax machine as needed (see “Cleaning tips,” below).

• Never install your fax machine where it can overheat, gather dust or get splashed by any liquids (even water).

Cleaning tips

Some things to keep in mind about cleaning your fax machine:

• Do clean it! Dust and dirt, especially around the fax machine’s air vents (see right column) can shorten your machine’s life.

• Always unplug the fax machine before you clean it.

• Never spray any cleaner

DIRECTLY

onto your fax machine. The drifting

spray could damage components inside.

• Never try to clean

SEALED

areas inside your fax machine. This will protect

your safety and the safety of the machine.

• For cleaning external surfaces, such as the cover and handset, use a mild cleaning solution sprayed onto a lint-free towel or cloth.

• Always use a lint-free cloth (or swabs) moistened with alcohol to gently wipe components inside your machine.

• In areas you cannot reach with swabs, always use dry, dust-free compressed air to gently blow away dust and other material.

Keep the air vents clean

Never cover your machine, or it may overheat. Clean your machine’s air vents periodically. When you do, use a vacuum

cleaner or brush. (Do not wipe the air vents with a damp cloth!) The air vents are located on the machine’s upper rear and lower rear sections:

Caring for your fax machine

Corrective cleaning

Here are some simple cleaning procedures for keeping your fax machine clean and operating smoothly.

Before you clean your fax machine, print all document received in the memory.

Cleaning your fax machine

Unplug the power cord of your machine from the power source.

Moisten a soft cloth with water and a small amount of diluted mild detergent.

Important: To prevent damage to the surface of your fax machine, never use thin-

ner, benzene, alcohol, acetone, or any other organic solvent to clean your machine.

Curing frequent jams in the document feeder

If you are having trouble getting your original documents to feed properly, try this:

Get two soft, lint-free cloths and moisten them as follows:

• One with a cleaner suitable for use on rubber rollers

• The other with isopropyl alcohol

Unplug the power cord of your machine from the power source. Remove the document hopper, if necessary.

Open the control panel by placing your fingers on its upper left and right corners and gently tilting the control panel toward you until it stops.

Use the cloth with the rollers cleaner to clean the face of the rollers and separator pad. Rotate the rollers by hand to allow cleaning of the entire roller surface.

Use the cloth with the isopropyl alcohol to clean the

contact glass.

Gently close the control panel, making sure both sides are snapped down securely.

Plug the power cord of your fax machine at the power source. Attach the document hopper if you removed it in step 2.

Fixing unsatisfactory printout quality

If you notice poor printout quality (whether on received faxes or on copies), here’s what to do:

Unplug the power cord of your machine from the power source.

Get two soft, lint-free cloths and moisten them as follows:

• One with a cleaner suitable for use on platen/rubber rollers

• The other with isopropyl alcohol

Open the top cover and lift the ink film cartridge straight up out of the machine.

Use the cloth with the isopropyl alcohol to clean the thermal print head.

Important: Do not touch the

thermal print head directly with your hand.

Use the cloth with platen/rubber roller cleaner to clean the face of the rollers. Rotate the rollers by hand to allow cleaning of the entire roller surface.

Hold the cartridge over your fax machine. Position the cartridge so that its arrow mark are over the machine’s arrow mark. (The side with the supply roll should be over the front of the machine.)

Gently put the cartridge back into the fax machine. If you have positioned it correctly (see step 6), it will “drop” in smoothly.

Important: Your fax machine will not work if the cartridge is not inserted

properly.

Gently close the top cover, pressing firmly on both sides of the top cover until you hear it click.

Important: Your fax machine will not work if the top cover is not closed.

General questions

Q: Where do I add ink or toner to make my fax machine’s printouts darker? A: Your fax machine dose not use ink or toner. Instead, it uses a special printing

technique called Film Imaging, also known as thermal-transfer printing. To adjust the darkness of copies or transmissions, insert a document and press

CONTRAST

repeatedly to adjust the contrast setting. “Dark” prints as the darkest setting. The machine will reset automatically to normal contrast after the copying or sending.

Note: You can’t adjust the darkness of an incoming fax printout.

Q: When I unplug my machine or if the power goes off, will I lose the information

I have stored — such as my

TTI

, autodialer entries, the time and date, etc. —

and have to re-enter them?

A: No. Your machine has two special backup batteries.

One protects user settings for several days if power fails or if your machine is disconnected from the power source. The second battery is rechargeable and preserves data in the memory for up to 72 hours in case of a power loss This

battery requires about 1 day to reach full charge after power to the machine is restored. We advise you to restore power to the machine as soon as possible.

Q: Can I use a dust cover on my fax machine? A: No! A dust cover blocks air circulation, which could cause your machine to

overheat. (See page 1.6 for other guidelines.)

Q: Can I re-use the ink film when I run out of it? A: Yes, but only for an emergency. The quality of the printouts will be lowered,

because previous printouts will have used parts of the roll. Always try to have at least one replacement roll of ink film, so as to avoid this situation.

Sending faxes

Q: Sometimes, I try to send a fax while using either the handset or the

MONITOR/CALL

feature. But, when the other side answers, I hear a horrible

screeching sound, so I hang up. What’s happening?

A: That was the other fax machine trying to say “Hello” to your machine. You will

hear sounds like that any time you call a fax machine which is set to answer automatically (as when you set your machine to Fax Ready mode). It’s by using these tones that machines send faxes over ordinary phone lines. So, next time you hear such tones, press

START

(and, if you are using the handset, hang up)

to send a fax.

Q: I just sent a fax. However, the number that appeared in my machine’s display

during the transmission was not the number I dialed. Why?

A: That number you saw is programmed into the remote fax machine by the user.

Some users prefer different numbers to appear than the ones they are really using. And some people take over another person’s fax machines that has already been programmed and don’t know how to change the original number.

Q: Can I transmit and receive at the same time? A: No. Use the call request feature (see pages 2.47–2.48) to ask the person at the

remote fax machine if he or she wants to transmit or receive after your fax communication is complete.

3.12

Q: Do I have to dial a 1 for a long-distance call? A: Yes. Dialing a fax number is just like dialing any other phone number, so be

sure to include any special long-distance codes or dialing pauses when dialing. Also, remember to include them when you set your autodialer numbers.

Q: How do I send a fax to an overseas telephone number? A: Dialing requirements for international calls may vary depending on your local

telephone company’s requirements. For most international calls, call 00, then the appropriate country code, city code and phone number. (You may find country and city codes in the front section of your telephone directory.)

Q: Can I transmit if my fax machine runs out of paper? A: Yes. But a transmit confirmation report (see page 2.46) is not available when

you transmit without recording paper in your fax machine.

Q: Can I transmit a document that’s extra long? A: Yes, if the receiving fax machine is equipped to handle long documents. Many

machines have a special setting which allows them to receive documents that exceed the normal length.

Q: Can I transmit a page from a newspaper? A: No. A newspaper page can jam in your document feeder. First, use a copy

machine to make a copy of the newspaper. Make sure the copy you make will fit into the fax machine. Then transmit the copy.

Q: Can I transmit a page with correction fluid on it? A: Yes, if the fluid is completely dry before you begin transmission.

Q: How can I be sure my fax was received? A: Set your machine to print a confirmation report after each transmission (see

page 2.46).

Q: I don’t want to install a dedicated phone line for my fax machine, so I have con-

nected the machine to a

PBX

phone system. When I get a fax call, all the phones

ring! How do I prevent this?

A: Call your

PABX

manufacturer or telephone company for assistance. Either may

be able to convert one of the

PBX

lines for use only by your fax machine.

Q: Sometimes when I dial a fax call by using either the handset or

MONITOR/CALL

I don’t hear the fax receiving tones from the other machine. Am I doing something wrong?

A: When this happens, try pressing

START

(and then hanging up the handset if you are using it), as usual. It’s possible you are calling an older, non-standard fax machine that doesn’t emit answering tones. Even a few Group 3 faxes (see

“Glossary,” page 3.15) on the market sound a sending tone but don’t sound a receiving tone. After you transmit, call the person at the other fax machine to see if he/she got your document.

Q: I inserted a document in the feeder and dialed a fax number, but my machine

did not transmit the document; instead, “* Auto Redial *” now appears on my

LCD

. What does this mean?

A: The remote fax machine was busy, so your machine will try the call again,

automatically. As long as it hasn’t stored more than 30 delayed commands, your machine should still accept commands from you. If it has exceeded this quantity and will accept no more commands, try canceling one of the delayed commands (see page 2.15). If the machine still won’t cooperate, keep canceling commands until it does.

Q: The specifications (page AI.1) list an average per-page transmission time, but

when I transmit a page it can take much longer. Why?

A: We base this specification on transmission of an industry-standard test docu-

ment called

ITU-T

Test Document 1 (sometimes also called the “Slerexe letter”).

Fax manufacturers use this method to test transmission speeds. However:

• The pages you send may be darker, or otherwise contain more information, than

ITU-T

Test Document 1.

• The transmission time measured for test documents doesn’t include hand- shake time — the time during which two fax machines “introduce” themselves to each other and “agree on” the parameters of the call.

• The specification time is based on the use of normal resolution mode. You may be using fine, superfine or grayscale transmission, each of which takes longer than normal mode.

Reports

Q: I called the number 00-555-555-1212, but not all of the digits appear on my

transmit confirmation report (

TCR

). Why didn’t the whole number appear? How

can I be sure my document went to the right location?

A: The numbers you enter using the fax keypad are temporarily stored in a mem-

ory “buffer.” It’s only the last part of the phone number that the buffer “remembers.” An easy way to avoid getting incomplete telephone numbers on your printouts is to store your most frequently used numbers as one-touch keys or speed-dial numbers. These autodialer numbers will appear in their entirety on your
