Well come to your Muratec fax machine!
We know you want to use your fax machine now, without first having to climb over a mountain of jargon.
So we’ve divided these instructions into six section.
“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.
“SmartPort” (see page 3.1)
describes how your fax machine is used as an image scanner and printer for your computer.
Note:
“Answering Machine” (see page 4.1)
describes a high-quality answering machine built-in your fax machine.
Note:
It is available only for M860.
It is available only for M880.
Finally, “Just in Case…” (see page 5.1)
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.

What is 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 photograph or even your child’s latest drawing!
What is 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 t e le p h o n e , y o u r fa x n u m be r c a n be y o u r re g u l a r ph o n e n u mb e r . Y o u c a n ---- but this isn’t necessary---- dedicate a phone number to your fax machine, letting you use one number for ordinary voice calls and one just for fax.

Telephone Features............................................................................................. 1.22

What are resolution and greyscale?
Just as cars are measured by engine size and stereo systems are measured by watts per channel, so fax machines are measured by resolution and greyscale. So let’s talk about these for a moment. Resolution refers to the sharpness of a fax transmission. It’s expressed in lines per inch (lpi). An international agency has defined three specific levels of resolution:
•Normal (203 horizontal × 98 vertical lpi)
•Fine (203 × 196 lpi)
• Superfine (203 × 392 lpi).
Similarly, one can judge a fax transmission by its number of greyscale levels, or shades of grey ---- really, halftones such as you might see in a newspaper photo. It’s likely most of your fax documents will be dark text on white paper. However, when you want to send phot ographs and other shaded it ems, you can set your fax machine to transmit in 64-scale greyscale.
So why not always set your fax machine for superfine, or for greyscale?
Because these settings make your machine send more information, making transmissions last longer and (on long-distance calls) driving up your phone bills. That’s why, as you’ll see, we’ve made it easy for you to set your fax machine for the most efficient, and truest, transmission of the types of documents you send!

Phone and Electrical Requirements
Do:
Don’t:
Voltage requirements and power consumption
Voltage requirements: 230 V
Note:
Do place the fax machine near a wall outlet, so you can easily unplug it. Do use an electrical surge protector. This will shield your fax machine
from high-voltage elect rical surges that may damage it. Many surge protectors guard both telephone and electrical lines.
Do plug your fax machine into a standard three-pronged 230 V electrical outlet.
Do leave your fax machine plugged in so you never miss a fax. In standby, your fax machine uses only about as much electricity as a clock radio.
Don’t connect to a multi-line (PBX) office phone system without first checking with your PBX’s manufacturer or service representative.
Don’t plug your fax machine into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch; you’ll risk mi ssi n g fax messages.
Don’t plug your fax machine into the same outlet as a large appliance such as a refrigerator or air conditioner. High-consumption appliances can cause electrical “draw-downs” ---- temporary drops in power available for other equipment on the circuit ---- and could damage your fax machine.
AC

Be sure that your fax machine meets the requirements referring the

Tips for Use
To keep your fax machine in perfect working order, be sure to install it away from:
Dust ---- Dust build-up can damage your fax machine.
Splashes ---- Keep your fax machine away from sinks, water fountains, and
other sources o f splash and spray.
Vibration ---- Keep your fax machine on a level, vibration-free surface to
improve performance and system life.
Overheating ---- Allow at least 30 cm (12 inches) of clearance around your fax
machine. Don’t install it in direct sunlight and never cover it with a cloth or dust cover.

Attaching A Second Telephone or Answering Machine
Note:
If you have an M880, do not connect the answering machine into your fax
machine. Because your M880 already has a high-quality answering machine built in (see “Section 4; Answering Machine” page 4.1), it is not designed to be used with another answering machine, connected or not. We strongly recommend that you use the fax machine as the only answering machine on its phone line.
To connect the other phone to your fax machine:
Plug the other phone’s telephone line cord into the your fax machine.

Clearing Memory
Before you use EasyStart to enter information into your fax machine, it’s best to clear its memory. The fax machine’s user settings, protected by a long-life battery backup, store information such as your fax number and the date and time. Clearing the memory ensures that only your infor mation is stored.

Sending Faxes
Some Guidelines
While you’ll probably be sending normal-sized documents the vast majority of the time, you can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or nearly a meter long! To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:
Single-sheet transmission:
Maximum: 216 mm × 900 mm Minimum: 120 mm × 100 mm
Multiple-sheet transmission:
Maximum: 216 mm × 279 mm Minimum: 148 mm × 105 mm
Things not to put in your fax
To help avoid troubles ranging from paper jams to out-and-out damage to your machine, please don’t insert:
• Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages
• Documents carrying staples, glue, tape, paper clips or still-wet corr ectio n fluid
• “Sticky notes” (or documents with “sticky note” 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

Entering a pause character when dialing
Your fax machine provides special dialing characters which you may find useful. We’ll discuss most of them later (see page 2.4), but you may need to know now about the pause character. Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses also can be useful when you’re dialing through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause character, just press one other character). -- ⁄ (the pause character) will appear on the display.
Each pause you enter lasts for a factory-set five seconds. For example, pressing 9, 9 [5-seconds] 123456789.

What if you answer a fax call?
With your fax machine in T/F Ready mode, you can easily use your fax machine on the same line as the 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 to your fax machine
• A phone, or phones, connected elsewhere in your home or office
Using a phone connected directly to your fax machine
If you answer a connected phone and hear fax tones, simply hang up handset. Your fax machine will go ahead and receive the fax call.
Using a phone not connected to your fax machine
Let’s say you have another telephone connected to the same line (”branch connected”) as, but not physically to, your fax machine. If you answer a call on such a phone and hear fax tones, here’s what to do to receive the incoming fax:
1.
Don’t hang up the line!
• Put the telephone handset down (but --- again --- don’t it hang 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. Lift the fax machine’s handset or press

Ans Ready Mode
Note:
If you have an M880, the Ans Ready mode is not available because your
M880 already has a high-quality answering machine built in. See page 4.1 for information on answering machine.
Use it if: You’re using an answering machine which is connected directly to
your fax machine; or you’re using second telephone which is connected directly to your fax machine.
In this mode: Your fax machine wait until the phone has rung a certai n number of
times (see “Using a answering machine with your fax machine ”, below) before it attempts fax reception. This gives your answering machine (or you, in the case of using a second phone) a chance to “grab” the line when someone calls.

Detection of “silent” fax machines
Some older fax machines do not send out fax tones when transmit ting. If you’re using your fax machine in Ans Ready mode, this might be a problem: under these circumstances, your fax machine would fail to recognize the device calling it as a fax machine, thus causing your fax’s answering machine to record silence and use up part of its storage capacity. However, your Muratec fax machine can accommodate these “silent” fax machines without disrupting your answering machine operation.
With silent fax detection activated in Ans Ready mode, your fa x machine gives the caller six seconds to begin speaking after the answering machine starts recording. If there’s no voice response, your fax will attempt reception. Ask for information on activating this capability in your Muratec fax, at your authorized Muratec facsimile dealer.
1. Set fax machine for Ans Ready mode, as previously described.
2. Use your answering machine to create a new outgoing message.
Here’s a suggested message:
Hello. This is (your name or telephone number). If you would like to leave a message, wait for the beep. To send a fax, press start now.
Important:

Due to the way fax machines work, your message must be no

Low-Paper Warning
When your fax is nearly out of paper, a “low-paper” line (usually reddish-pink in color) will begin to appear on the underside of the page as it feeds out of the machine. The closer your fax gets to the end of the roll, the deeper in color the line will appear. Of course, your fax machine cannot print fax messages without paper.
When your fax machine runs out of paper, it beeps and shows the following message on the display:

Caller ID
Caller ID is your local telephone company’s service that allows you to see a display of the caller’s phone (or fax) number or name before you pick up the handset or your fax machine automatically receives the call.
If you get the Caller ID service, the following information will show on the LCD when your machine rings:
• You’ll see the first 16 characters of the caller’s phone number or name. If both the caller’s phone number and name are received, only the name will appears on the LCD.
• If “Private” is shown on the LCD, it means that the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID.
• If “Out of area” is shown on the LCD, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area.
Your fax machine can store up to 10 incoming Caller ID in the memory. The 11th call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.
Note:
Your fax machine cannot receive the caller ID in case of the following:
• If the line condition is poor.
• If the fax machine is working.
• If the number of ring is set to “1”.
• If the toll saver is working. (Toll saver feature is available only for

Getting everything just the way you want it
The “EasyStart” feature (see page 1.14) guided you thr ough the “just-gotta” settings on your machine. In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings.
Setting the Primary Resolution Mode
Your fax offers four standard transmission modes ---- three resolution options, plus grayscale ---- so every document arrives looking its best.
Note:
This setting has no effect on the faxes you receive. The sending fax
machine controls the resolution of the received fax document.
With this setting, you tell your fax which transmission mode ---- normal, fine, superfine (shown on the display as “Sfine”) or grayscale (“Gray”) ---- yo u use most often. You always can change the resolution before sending, but this will be your default.

If you’re using an answering machine with your fax machine and have
correctly set your fax machine for that use (see page 1.13, 1.20), this setting won’t matter; the answering machine will answer first.
If you have an M880 and it is in answering machine mode, the toll saver
function (see page 4.14) will determine how many times it will ring, based on whether there is at least one message or memo stored on the fax’s answering machine.
.
# of Rings = 2

Set Silent Mode
If you and your fax machine share a quiet place, you’ll really appreciate being able to put the machine into silent mode. This mutes both the ringer and the “I’m done!” beep your machine makes after sending or receiving a fax or making a copy.
Note:
Let’s say it again --- silent mode mutes the ringer as well as the beep. So, if
you’re using your fax machine as both a fax and phone, you may not wish to use this feature.
Note:
Of course, t urning on the silent mode on your fax machine won’t turn off
ringers on other telepho nes in your house or offic e. Similarly, other phones won’t distinguish between fax and voice calls.

There are two kinds of Autodialer numbers. The difference between the two is how you “call them up”, so to speak:
• One-touch --- Pressing one of the keys, marked a -- e on the control panel.
• Speed-dial --- Pressing to 20.
How big is the memory?
How many numbers can your fax store? A total of 25 --- up to 5 one-touch numbers and up to 20 speed-dial numbers.
Which number is which?
Your fax machine ’ s Auto d ia le r wil l hold mor e tha n just fa x nu mb er s: yo u can store Mum’s phone number along with your warehouse’s fax number.
How? Because, when you command the Autodialer to dial a number, the fax checks to see whether there’s a document in the feeder. If there is, the machine dials as a fax machine (i.e., dials while sending fax tones). If there isn’t, it dials as a phone.
EasyDial directory: A preview
Your machine also features a built-in EasyDial directory (see page 2.8). This lets you enter your fax/phone number s alo ng with descriptive name s. (Yo ur mac hi ne calls this name a Location ID.) The Autodialer sorts these listings alphabetically so, with EasyDial, you can l ook them up by name as i f you were using a phone book!
As you store the numbers --- we’ll get to that shortly --- you’ll see how to enter the names so you c an use this extremely handy feature.

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
number into its various parts --- in this example, a 9 for outside-line access, a 1 for long-distance access, the area code and the phone number.
Imagine how much more important this can be if you also have to use special long-distance access codes, country codes for international calling, etc.
Also, certain calls require special symbols besides just numerals to get through. If you make calls to other countries --- or just have your fax machine on an un usual phone system --- you’ll want to be able to put the appropriate characters in the numbers you store. Otherwise, your Autodialer won’t be so “auto” after all!
That’s why your fax machine allows you to enter special dialing characters. Here’s a brief description of these characters, as well as how you can put them in the numbers you store in the Autodialer:

Broadcasting
Beyond the Basics
Relay Broadcast Initiation
Broadcasting is a fax function allowing one fax machine to send one fax document to numerous other machines with a minimum of trouble for the user. While your machine doesn’t do broadcasting, it can perform relay broadcast initiation. In this process, your fax machine transmits a document to a high­volume “hub” Muratec fax machine and specifies a call group ---- a designated group of fax numbers stored in that machine’s autodialer ---- to which the hub fax machine should broadcast the document. The remote fax then receives your document, stores the document in memory and retransmits the document to each number in the designated group of fax numbers stored in that machine’s autodialer. (So, of course, you’ll have to know the proper call group number in order to do this.)
To initiate a relay broadcast:
1. Insert the document and press
Relay Broadcast
2. Press
3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of the call group to which you

Delayed Transmission
Take advantage of lower evening long distance rates with delayed transmission. Your fax can store one delayed transmission command, which you can program up to 31 days in advance. However, it is necessary for the fax document to be in the feeder at the moment when you want the machine to send the fax.

To set up a delayed transmission:
1. Insert the document.

3. Press
4. Use the numeric keypad to enter the date, hour and minute when you want your fax machine to carry out the delayed transmission.
In the example, the 12th is the date for the delayed transmission, and 11:30 AM is the time scheduled. (Remember that we’re using 24-hour time format; 11:30 PM would be expressed as 23:30.)

Polling
Polling lets you retrieve a page or document from another fax machine. (For example, use polling anytime you need to receive a fax and don’t want the source to pay for the phone call. With polling, you pay for the call and get the information you need.) You can perform either regular polling or database polling.
• Regular polling ---- Retrieve a document physically wait ing in the remote machine.
• Database polling ---- possible only if you’re in communication with a memory­equipped Muratec fax machine ---- involves polling of a document which is stored as a file in the remote fax machine’s memory. This is great for always being able to retrieve someone else’s latest price list, current resume or even perhaps your grandchildren’s newest “refrigerator art”!
Regular Polling
To perform regular polling of a document from any remote fax machine:

Special Features
Your fax machine has numerous special features to make your communications easier. We’ll cover them here.
Cover Page
Your fax machine offers a cover page transmission option for the documents you send. This feature sends a short cover message before transmitting the rest of the document. This page includes the date and time, your name, fax number and a message of up to 40 characters in length.
Note
: This depiction (below) of the cover page shows how the page looks if it’s
printed by another plain-paper machine: i.e., it will be a full-length sheet of paper. H owever, if you transmit a cover page to a fax machi ne which use s thermal paper rolls, that machine will use only as mush of the thermal paper as is necessary to print the cover page information plus top and bottom margins.
Fax Message From:

We appreciate your business. Thank you!
Note:
If you send to another plain-paper fax machine, that machine will print this
cover page as a full-sized page with the information box at the top, followed by the actual document you’re faxing. If you send to a thermal-paper fax machine, that machine will use only enough thermal paper to print the cover page information box plus top and bottom margins, then proceed to print your faxed document.

Confirmation Reports
Each time your fax machine transmits or receives, it can then print a confirmation report to let you know:
.
• The date and time of the transmission
• The receiving location
• The number of pages transmitted
• The result of the transmission. This report can provide reassurance when you have vital information to transmit or receive. The “Location” listing may be different from the number you called, or it may be blank: this information is part of the remote fax machine’s TTI. A successful transmission will appear in the Result column as “OK.” If a tra ns mission fails, the report will include an explanation of the error and a corresponding error code.

Call Request
This feature allows you to send or receive a fax message and carry on a voice conversation on the same call, regardless of whether you are the transmitter or recipient of the fax message. For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar call-reserve capability. You may fax first and then talk, or talk first and then fax.

Security
Beyond the Basics
Your machine has a number of features to enhance the security of your fax communications. These security features can help you let your private fax documents stay private, avoid unwanted outside communication and even protect against unauthorised use of your machine --- as well as control its authorised use.
The Passcode
For more secure incoming communications, a passcode system lets you protect documents set for polling, to poll documents from a Muratec fax machine.
Under normal circumstances, your fax machine has a passcode of “0000”: this means the passcode operation is off, allowing calling fax units to communicate freely with yours. If you change the passcode, then your machine can communicate only with Muratec fax machines; other manufacturers’ fax machines
---- even those with protection code systems of their own ---- can’t get through.
Note:
However, if you’re using the Block Junk Fax feature (see page 2.18), eve n
incoming calls which meet the passcode test must come from appro priate phone number.

Block Junk Fax
If activated, the Block Junk Fax feature guards your machine from unauthorized faxes (so-called “junk fax”); but, first, please understand how this feature works, so you can determine if it is right for you. When you’ve activated Block Junk Fax and a fax call arrives, your fax machine checks to see if any phone number in your autodialer matches the last four digits of the remote fax machine’s Subscriber ID. If it finds no such match, your fax machine disconnects the call. So, before activating this feature, consider:
• Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber IDs. Indeed, some fax machines do not even have a Subscriber ID. So, using Block Junk Fax, your machi ne woul d re j ec t faxe s from these units.
• If some of your autodialer entries end with long distance access codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those fax machines. (Those other fax users won’t put your codes at the end of their Subscriber IDs, after all.)

SmartPort: fax/computer connectivity
Thanks to its built-in SmartPort feature, your fax machine isn’t onl y a fax machine ---- it also can be an image scanner and printer for your computer!
SmartPort Requirements for Your Computer
For you to use your fax machine’s SmartPort feature with your computer, your computer must meet three simple tests:
• It has a properly installed fax modem, either internal or external.
• It has properly installed fax software.
• Its fax software can perform manual receive (for scanning) and manual transmit (for printing) operations. (You may wish to consult that software’s instructions.)
Important:
It doesn’t matter whether your computer is IBM
compatible, or which of those two platforms’ various operating systems it runs, so long as it meets these three conditio ns.
An important note about compatibility
While SmartPort works with a variety of fax modes and fax software packages, it doesn’t work with every fax modem and/or with every fax software package.
If you experience trouble, try the following (in this order):
• Please confirm that you are following the directions on the next page.
(Sometimes, one missed step, or one step out of order, makes all the difference.) Give it several more tries, strictly follo wing our instructions.
• If you still have trouble, please contact the company that made your fax
modem.
• If the advice you get fr o m your fa x mod e m’ s ma ker do esn ’t he lp you, plea se
contact your fax software package’s maker.
• If the advice from your fax software package’s maker doesn’t help you, then,
unfortunately, SmartPort won’t work with your computer setup.

once or twice until your choice appears.
For this feature to works, three things must be true:
• Your computer’s modem must send a CNG fax signal.
• Your fax software must be set not to detect dial tone before d ialing a fax number.
• The time until your computer’s modem dials a fax number after off-hoo k must be less than 15 seconds.
As with SmartPort scanning, the exact procedure for SmartPort pr inting will var y depending upon how your computer’s particular fax softwar e works. Nonetheless, here are the basics.
1. Connect your fax machine to your computer’s fax modem, as described in “Making the SmartPort Connection” left column.
2. Turn the SmartPort ON. (See left column.)
3. Computer: Use your application ---- for example, a word-processing program ---

SmartPort
to send the document to your fax software, just as if you actually were going to fax the document.
Note:
For example, this may involve setting the application to “print to” a fax
driver which processes and forwards documents to the fax mode.
4. Computer: When the fax soft wa re asks for a fax number to which to send the document, type any number (one digit will do).
5. Computer: Order your fax software to perform a manual transmit command.
Note:
Please consult your software’s operating instructions to confirm what
should occur after you give a manual transmit command.
6. Computer: If your computer is waiting for a “go-ahead” command (such as “OK”), tell it to proceed as your fax software requires.
7. Fax machine: Your fax machine will receive the document from your computer and it will begin to print.
Sending Faxes with Your Computer
You can transmit documents from your computer to other faxes. As with scanning, the exact procedure for sending will vary depending upon how your computer’s particular fax software works.
To transmit documents from your computer to other faxes:
1. Make sure your fax machine is connected to your computer’s fax modem.
2. Computer: Instruct your fax software to send.
Important:
Note:
Even if the SmartPort feature turns off, you can transmit document from
your comput er to other faxes normally.

Setting up Your Answering Machine
Storage Capacity
Your fax machine can store up to 32 voice messages totaling up to 15 minut es. When we say, “voice messages,” we’re counting the following items, all of which you’ll be reading about shortly:
• Incoming messages
• A memo
• Voice mail box messages The factory setting allows each message (other than the memo) to last up to 3 minutes, but you can change this easily (see below).
Setting recording time
Your fax machine can be set to allow as much as 3 minutes or as little as 10 seconds for each incoming message or voice mail box message. If a caller hangs up before the allotted time expires, the unit automatically stops recor ding and returns to standby mode. The factory setting is 30 se conds.

Answering Machine Mode
When you put your fax into answering machine mode, a caller can either leave a voice messa ge, send a fax o r do both o n t he same call. Y our fax, as is true for all Muratec fax machines, is smart enough to tell the difference and will take care of the call accordingly.
Reception in answering machine mode
When your fax is in answering machine mode and a call comes in, the answering machine part answers first. The fax part of your fax listens silently while your answering machine’s outgoing message plays; callers making voice calls won’t know the fax part is there, waiting. But, if your fax detects standard fa x transmission tones at any time, it will discontinue answering machine functions and begin fax reception.
Turning on answering machine mode
Note:
Before you can turn on a nswering machine mode, you must rec ord two
outgoing me ssages (see next page).
To put your fax into answering machine mode, press answer lamp. Your fax now will answer calls after 3 rings if no memo or incoming message is stored, or after 1 ring if at least one incoming message is stored (see “Toll Saver,” page 4.14). In HongKong, answer after 4 rings on the former and after 2 rings on the latter. The answering machine will save voice messages and the fax machine will print faxes.
While answering machine mode is on, your fax’s LCD shows two alternating messages:
MEMO:0 ICM:00
and

Recording Your Outgoing Messages
Your fax machine holds three types of voice messages: incoming calls, memos and two outgoing messages. We’ll address the first two a little later in these instructions, but for now let’s talk about the outgoing messages. First we’ll explain the purpose of the messages, then we’ll tell you how to record them.
Outgoing messages ---- and why you have two
Outgoing messages are what your callers hear when the fax machine answers the phone. Your fax machine uses two such messages, each of which serves a slightly different purpose.
First of all, however, please note that each outgoing message must be not longer than 10 seconds in length. This follows the international g uidelines created by the ITU-T (International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector), a United Nations standard s gro up which governs fax communications and establishes guidelines providing co mpatibility among Group 3 fax machines ---- like your fax machine. Thanks to the ITU-T, your Group 3 fax machine ca n send a fax message to virtually any other Group 3 fax machine, regardless of what company built it or where it’s in oper ation.
One important part of these ITU-T guidelines has to do with the amount of time (T1, as the ITU-T calls it) during which a calling fax machine must detect a response from the fax machine it’s trying to reach (the remote fax machine). By allowing each of your outgoing messages to be no longer than 10 seconds, the fax machine makes sure there’s always enough time for its fax equipment to respond to a calling fax machine within the ITU-T limits.
Your first outgoing message is a general-purpose one, much like that you’ve probably heard on many other answering machines you’ve reached: it explains that you can’t come to the phone and gives each caller the options of leaving a voice messa ge, sending a fax message or even doing b oth on the same call.
Here is a suggested first o utgoing message you can mo dify to suit your needs:
Hello. You’ve reached (your telephone number). If you want to send a fax, press start now. If you want to leave a voice message, wait for the beep. Thank you.
That sounds pretty good; so why do you need a second outgoing message, too? Well, the answering machine in your fax machine can record approximately 15
minutes’ worth of incoming messages; but, of course, you’ll want your callers to know they still can send a fax even when the answering machine is full (so to speak). And that’s what the second message accomplishes. It operates only when the fax machine knows it cannot hold any more incoming voice messages. (Don’t worry: the fax machine switches to the second outgoing message automatically when the answering machine has reached its capacity, so you don’t have to provide in advance for the switch over!)
Here is a suggestion for that second message (which also must be no longer than 10 seconds):
Hello. You’ve reached (your telephone number). The answering machine is full right now so it can’t record your voice messa ge; but, if you’d like to send a fax, press start now. Thank you.

The display will show the date and time when each message was stored as the message is played, thanks to the fax’s date and time stamp feature. Here are explanations of the displays you’ll see on the LCD as messages play:

Secure Memos:
Anyone with access to your fax machine can easily play any memo or messages stored on it. This may be okay in a “secure” location, but elsewhere could be a problem. To record messages but retain greater security, use your fax’s voice mail boxes. The fax machine offers up to ten “electronic boxes” in which authorized users can store and receive voice messages with passcode-protected security. Also, each box can hold numerous messages; the regular memo function can store only one.
Note:
Please don’t confuse this feature with other “voice mail” systems
commonly used today. No unauthorized caller can leave messages in, or otherwise use, the fax’s voice mail boxes.

Creating or Changing the Remote Access Passcode
Your fax machine has a special set of features that allow you to access and operate its answering machine from any touch-tone telephone. But not just anyone can call your fax and eavesdrop on your messages: before you can access your answering machine’s messages remotely, you must create a four-digit passcode.

• Play your memo and mes sa ge s
• Erase one or all messages
• Repeat or skip your memo or a message
• Turn the pager function on or off
• Turn the automatic answer setting off
• Record your first outgoing message (but not the second; that one must be recorded while you are at the fax)
• Use the fax’s voice mail box system (see page 4.7--4.10 for more detail).
---- and you can perform all of these operations on the same call! You cannot record a memo remotely; any message you leave will be one of the normal incoming messages. Before you can use the remote access features, check the following:
• You have put the fax into answering machine mode by pressing
• You have entered a passcode for your answering machine (see left).
• You are calling from a telephone that uses standard touch-tone signals.

Accessing Your Fax Remotely
To access your fax from a touch-tone telephone:
1. Call your fax.
2. While your outgoing message is playing, press # for about a second.
3. Enter your four-digit remote access passcode, followed by #.
4. If the fax does accepts the passcode you entered, you’ll hear one long beep, followed immediately by short beeps. The long beep means you’re “in” ---­you can use remote access. The number of short beeps tells you how many messages (including any memo) are stored in the answering machine.
If the fax does not accept the passcode you entered, you will hear no long beep, but rather three fast, short beeps. If so, enter the four-digit passcode (not preceded by #; just start with the passcode after the first time) more slowly, then press #. If the second attempt also fails, try once more. If the fax does not accept a caller’s passcode after three attempts, it will hang up.

Ending remote voice mail box operation
To cease remote voice mail box operation, just hang up or press * key twice.
Note:
If you don’t enter a command within 60 seconds of entering your passcode,
your fax will cut off remote voice mail box operation automatically. Also, the fax will cease remote voice mail box operation if someone picks up either the fax’s handset or a connected second telephone’s handset, or otherwise interferes with the connection (such as by activating a speakerphone or on-hook dialing speaker).
Toll Saver
When the Answer lamp is lit, the number of times your fax will ring when called depends upon whether it is holding any voice messages. If there is neither an incoming message nor a memo stored, your fax will answer after three rings. But, if a memo or incoming message is stored on your answering machine, your fax will answer subsequent calls after one ring. In HongKong, answer after four rings on the former and after two rings on the latter. (The presence of voice mail box messages makes no difference; the fax concerns itself here only with the memo and incoming messages.) When you check your me ssa ge s re mote l y, this Toll S aver feature helps you sa ve on long-distance telephone charges. When you call from another telephone and hear your fax ring more than once, you know that there are no messages for you to hear and can hang up the telephone before the third ring. Most long-distance telephone services do not charge for calls unless the called party answers. Again: when operating in answering machine mode, your fax will answer after one ring if there is a memo or incoming message on your answering machine ----­even if you’ve already played the stored recordings. (This is why, if you wish to take advantage of the Toll Saver feature, it’s a good idea to erase messages when you can.)
Note:
When your fax is not in a nswering machine mode, how many times it rings
when called is determined by a setting you make (s ee page 2.2 ).
Erasing all voice mail box messages remotely: 0, 0, #
To erase all messages in the currently active voice mail box (but no others):
1. Gain remote access to the voice mail box (see page 4.13).
2. Press 0 (zero) twice, followed by # once, for about a second each.
4.14
Answering Machine
Paging
Your fax machine can call you whenever a caller leaves a message on your answering machine. This paging feature is very helpful when you are expecting an important message but can’t sit by the phone. Using paging is simple. You specify a telephone number ---- the page number ---­for the fax to call whenever you receive a message on the answering machine. Then you turn on the pager function. Now, every time the fax’s answering machine stores an incoming message, it will call the pager number. Upo n answering, you will hear a beeping; this tells you that your fax is paging you. Then you perform a simple retrieval function and hear your message! The fax will try to call the pager number after each message is saved on the answering machine. If the unit encounters a busy signal or if it does not receive an answer, it will automatically redial the pager number. How many times it redials is something you can set (see “Set The Number of Pager Calls,” right column).
Note:
The fax’s paging function works only with voice messages stored on its
answering machine. For information on Muratec fax models which allow “fax retrieval” from remote fax machines, please contact your authorized Muratec retailer.

If You Answer While the Fax’s Answering Machine is Recording ICM / Playing OGM
If, while the fax is recording an incoming message (ICM) or playing your outgoing message (OGM), you pick up the handset of either t he fax or a connected second telephone, your fax will turn off the answering machine and free the telephone line for your use. The answering machine will record any portion of the incoming message left before you picked up the phone.
Branch telephone detection
Your Muratec fax is perfectly at home with other telephones in your home or office. If you answer with a phone elsewhere in your home or office, it’s possible to that the fax’s answering machine may begin to play the outgoing message (OGM) or record a incoming message (ICM). But don’t worry. You still can enjoy the convenience of using that other phone without having to walk all the way to the fax to stop the OGM. Just press the key twice on the other phone. This will stop the playing of the OGM / recording ICM and cause the fax to hang up, so you can have a normal conversation with your caller.

If an Original Document Jams
To clear an original document jam in the feeder of your fax:
1. Press the top cover release, located on the right side of the machine, to open the top cover.
2. Carefully remove the jammed paper pulling up the top cover a little.
3. Close the top cover Then try the transmission again.
Note
: If the original document has become wrinkled or torn, don’t attempt to
resend it.
If a Recording Paper Jam
To clear a recording paper jam at the cutter section:
1. Press the top cover release, located on the right side of the machine, to open the top cover.
2. Remove the jammed paper gently after turning the green gear as illustrated right.
3. Feed the paper under the paper guide. Allow about 10 cm of paper to emerge from the paper guide.
5.2
4. Firmly close the top cover slowly after pulling it up until it stops. Your fax will automatically feed and cut the paper.
Figuring Out Communications Problems
Just in Case…
Occasionally, your fax machine will detect a problem with the telephone line in use or encounter some trouble in transmission or reception. When it does, it will alert you with a beeping alarm tone. You can further identify the problem with the LCD messages, printed check messages and error codes. See the following sections for information about these troubleshooting methods.
Alarm
Your fax machine will alert you by beeping if the machine suffers either of these problems:
• It has trouble transmitting or receiving.
• It runs out of paper.

Your fax machine has run out of paper. Please add paper to the paper cassette. Or the fax machine has detected a paper jam. A paper jam occurred in your fax machine’s document feeder. Remove the jam and try again. You attempted to gain access to a voice mail box for which no passcode has been stored. Store one, then try again. (You’ll also get this message if you attempt to use the voice mail box feature at all before you’ve stored any passcodes.) You tried to turn on Auto Answer to use the answering machine, but haven’t yet recorded the first outgoing message. Record the message, then press Answer to activate Auto Answer. (You don’t have to record the second outgoing message, but we suggest it strongly.) An overheat protection has functioned in the recording section. Please wait until your fax return to standby. If the fax remaining waiting, you should turn the On/Off switch off and on.
Error Codes
Your fax will occasionally experience errors, caused by anything from lightning to telephone line interference. These same factors cause the line noise you sometimes hear when talking on the telephone. Often, simply trying your call again is all that’s necessary. If the proble m persists, call authorized Muratec retailer or your local telephone company for help.
Error reports
When an error occurs, your fax prints an error report. Each fax error report lists an error message that includes:
• The cause
• A possible solution to the problem
• Date of the transmission attempt
• The sending location (if the remote fax stores a Location ID of its own)
• Number of pages

• The resulting error code
• A communications error message (see below)
• The phone number (or, perhaps, TTI) of the fax machine with which your machine had attempted to communicate.

Caring for Your Fax Machine
With proper installation and a little maintenance, your Muratec fa x machine should provide dependable service for years to come. Although your fax machine requires little day-to-day care, you can take these simple precautions to keep it in top form.
Always...
• Always make sure your fax machine is installed according to Muratec specifications, including using an electrical surge suppresser. Review the requirements on page 1.10 before installing.
• Always use good, copier-quality paper.
• Always clean your fax as needed.
Never...
• Never install your fax where it can overheat, gather dust, or get splashed by
water or other liquids.
Cleaning Tips
Always...
• Always unplug your unit first.
For cleaning external surfaces only, such as the cover and handset, always use a mild cleaning solution sprayed onto a line-free towel or cloth.
• Always use a lint-free cloth or lint-free swabs moistened with alcohol to gently wipe components inside your fax.
• Always use dry, dust-free compressed air to gently blow dust and other material from areas you cannot reach with swabs.
And remember...
Never spray any cleaner directly on your fax. The drifting spray could damage components inside your fax.
Never attempt to clean inside sealed areas of your unit.
Corrective Cleaning
Following are some simple cleaning procedures for keeping your fax machine operating smoothly. Use each as the need arises.
Air vent s
Excessive dust on the air vents can cause overheating, so remove dust periodically with a vacuum cleaner or brush. Also, remember not to locate your fax machine in a dusty area.
Note:
Do not wipe with a damp cloth.

Common Questions
General Questions
Q: Where do I add ink or toner to make my fax machine’s printout darker? A: Your fax machine doesn’t use ink or toner. Instead, it uses a special printing
technique called thermal printing. To adjust the darkness of a copy or copies, or of a transmission, insert a document and press repeatedly to adjust the contrast setting. “Dark” prints at 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’ve stored ---- such as my TTI, autodialer entries, the time and date, etc. ---- and have to re-enter them?
A: No. There’s a special battery built i nto your fax machine which protects user
settings for several days if power fails or if you decid e to move your fax machine. However, while the battery will last for years, we do 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 bl ocks air circulation, which could cau se your fax machine
to overheat. (See also “Caring for Your Fax Machine”, page 5.6--5.7.)

. In some cases, your fax will print an error report for help in
diagnosing the problem (see page 5.5).
Sending Faxes
Q: I just tried to send a fax while using either the handset or the On-hook dialing
feature. When the other side answered, I heard a horrible screeching sound, so I hung up. What happened?
A: That was the other fax machine trying to say, “Hello,” to your machine!
You’ll hear sounds like that any time you call a fax number which is set to answer automatically (as when you set your machine to Fax Ready mode) It's by using these tones that fax machines send faxes over ordinary phone lines. So, next time you hear such tones, press handset, hang up) to send a fax.
start
(and if you’re using the
Q: I just sent a fax. However, the number that appeared in my machine’s display
during the transmission wasn’t the number I dialed. Why?
A: That number you saw is programmed into the remote fax machine by the
user. (perhaps for privacy’s) prefer different numbers to appear than the ones they’re really using; and, frankly, some people take over others’ already­programmed fax machines and don’t know how to change the originally set number!
Q: Can I transmit and receive at the same time? A: No. Use the call request feature (see page 2.16) to ask the person at the
remote fax machine if he or she wants to transmit or receive after your fax transaction is complete.
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. Dial the international access code, then the appropriate country code, city code and phone number. Country and city codes are often included in the front section of the telephone directory.
Q: Can I transmit if my fax is out of paper? A: Yes; however, confirmation reports (see page 2.15) are 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 fax 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 copying
machine to make an appropriately sized copy of the material in the newspaper page, then transmit the copy.
Q: Can I transmit a page with correction fluid on it? A: Yes, if the fluid is completely dry be fore 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 2.15).
Q: I don’t want to install a dedicated phone line for my fax machine, so I’ve
connected 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 PBX manufacturer or telephone company for assistance. Either
may be able to convert one of the PBX lines for use only by your fax machine.

A: When this happens, try pressing
you’re using), as usual. It’s possible you’re calling an older, non-standard fax machine that doesn’t emit answering tones. Even a few Group 3 faxes 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 the remote fax, but my
machine didn’t transmit the document; instead, “ Reserved ” now appears on my LCD. What does this display mean ?
A: The remote machine was busy; so your fax machine “reserved” in its
memory a command to try the call again. The machine will try to redial the call (see “Redialing,” page 1.17)

Reports
Q: I called the number 010-555-555-1212, but not all of the digits appear on my
Fax Report. 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
memory “buffer”; and it’s only the last part of the phone number t hat the buffer “remembers”. An easy way to avoid getting incomplete telephone numbers on your printout s i s t o store your most frequently used numbers as one-touch keys or speed-dial numbers. Numbers stored in the autodialer will appear in their entirety on your reports.
Receiving Faxes
Q: My fax never answers. W hat’s wrong? A: Check and make sure your fax is properly connected to a working AC power
outlet and phone jack (see pages 1.10 for installation instructio ns). I f you are using a second device with your fax machine, make sure it is connected properly (page 1.13) and your fax machine is set to work with it (page 1.19).
Q: Sometimes when I answer my fax machine, I hear a beeping sound that
repeats every few seconds. Is this a fax?
A: Yes. When you hear such fax to nes, someone is trying to send you a fax.
Next time, press the fax.
Q: Does my fax have to be plugged in just to receive a message? A: Yes. Your phone will ring if the phone line is connected, but you can’t

Polling
Q: What’s polling used for? A: Polling lets you a utomatically “pull” a document from another fax machine’s
document feeder. You can poll anytime you need to retrieve information and don’t want the source to pay for the phone call. With polling, you pay for the call and get the information you need.
Working With Your Answering Machine
Q: People have complained that they call my fax machine and hear my
answering machine’s message, but are cut off before they can send a fax. What happened?
A: Any remote fax machine attempti ng send a fa x must start to “hear”
responding fax tones within somewhat under 45 seconds after the person at that machine presses the start key. Consider: that time pe r iod includes getting the dial tone, dialing the number, “listening” to the pause before the ringing starts and waiting for the called fax machine to answer the ring. Only after that period of time does your message play ---- adding even more elapsed time! That’s why we ur ge you to make a short outgoing message. The shorter the overall waiting period, the more likely it is that the remote fax machine will be “satisfied” and go ahead with the transmission. So please make an outgoing message that is no longer than 10 seconds (see page 1.20 and 4.3 for a suggesti on).
Telephone Features
Q: My fax machine’s speakerphone doesn’t work. A: It’s not a speakerphone. It’s a monitor --- a listen-only speaker intended only
for off-hook dialing and hands-free fax transmissions, not voice conversations. You must use the handset to carry on a voice conve rsation.

How Your Fax Machine Works
The concept of how a fax machine works is simple. Here’s a simple analogy. Let’s say you want to mail a gift to a friend:
• You take the item, wrap it and send it.
• Days later, your friend receives the package, unwraps it and uses it.
Now, let’s apply that to fax communication. You put a page into your fax machine’s feeder and call a fax number. Your machine makes a satisfactory connection with the other machine and than…
• An image scanner in your fax machine examines the information on the page. That’s how your machine takes the document.
• Your fax machine translates the scanned information into a numeric code and compresses the code for the fastest possible transmission speed. That’s how your machine wraps the document.
• Finally, your fax machine sends the compressed code. That’s how your machine sends the document.
On the other end of the line…
• The remote fax machine receives the code.
• The remote fax machine uncompresses and deciphers the code, turning it into a representation of the scan your machine made. That’s how your machine unwraps the document.
• The remote fax machine prints the representation. Now, the recipient can use the document.
The way fax machines work is regulated closely by international standards applied by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), an agency of the United Nations. These standards ensure the compatibility of your fax machine with millions of other fax machines worldwide. However, they also li mit the way you can use your machine with other devices, such as telephones and answering machines.
Nonetheless, this is a small price to pay --- for the ability to send documents just about anywhere on earth!
…and that’ s how fax works!
The only difference between a regular telephone call and a fax call is the content of the transmission:
• On a regular call, your telephone send s your voice.
• On a fax call, your fax machine sends a coded image.
If your fax ma chine is in T/F Ready mode and you have other telephone extensions on the same line, all the other phones will ring. In fact, there’s no way to tell if an incoming call is from a fax machine or from a person until you answer, or your fax machine answer. You’ll know it’s a fax call if, upon answering, you hear a beeping sound that repeats every few seconds. This sound is each fax machine’s way of identifying itself to a machine it calls. It’s much like your making a voice call and identifying yourself, “Hello, this is (your name).” When you press fax machine responds to these signals using other special tones (to us humans, they sound a bit like screeches) which are its way of responding to the other machine’s “greeting.” This acknowledgment --- just like greetings you might exchange with a friends --- is called “handshaking.”
