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:

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.

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:
S
INGLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION
M
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:
1
Press
PROGRAM, J
, 0, 5.
2
Press
ENTER
.
If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.
If not, go on to step 3.
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.
4
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
1
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.
2
If you are sending a multi-page document,
“fan” the pages slightly. The first sheet
should extend just slightly from the others.
3
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:
1
Press
PROGRAM, J
, 1, 3.
2
Press
ENTER
.
If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.
If not, go on to step 3.

Dial the fax number.
• Enter the fax number by using the numeric keypad and then press

… or …
• Use speed-dial dialing (see page 2.10).
… or …
• Use the EasyDail directory (see page 2.13).
4
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.

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:
1
Make sure the document is in the feeder and that the resolution and contrast
are set as you want it.

Canceling a document while sending it
To cancel a transmission in progress:
1
Press
STOP
.
• If you are using a non-memory transmission, press
STOP
two or three times
until the machine returns to standby mode. The document will finish feeding through the
ADF
.
• If you are using a memory transmission, the
LCD
shows a command number in progress (see “An introduction to Review Commands,” below).
For example, the
LCD
shows:
2
Press
CANCEL
twice to cancel the transmission.
Note: If either broadcasting or sequential polling in progress, you cannot cancel it
by pressing
STOP
. To cancel a broadcasting or sequential polling in progress,
press
REVIEW COMMAND
first and then press
CANCEL
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.

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:
1
Set your fax machine for Tel/Fax Ready, as described above.
2
Press
PROGRAM, J
, 1, 9.
3
Press
ENTER
.
Note: In Tel primary mode, your fax machine answers each incoming call
after a certain number of rings.
4
Press or to select the Fax Primary mode.
5
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:
1
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.
2
Go to your fax machine.
3
Press
MONITOR/CALL
.
4
Press
START
.
5
Return to the telephone. If you didn’t put the phone on hold in step 1, hang
up its handset.
