Welcome to your Muratec fax/copier!
We know you want to use your machine now, without first
having to climb over a mountain of jargon. So we’ve divided
these 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 three pages show you 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

A quick introduction to fax in general
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 telephone, your fax number
can be your regular phone number. You can — 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.
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. An international agency has
defined three specific levels of resolution:
•
Normal
•
Fine
•
Superfine
Similarly, one can judge a fax transmission by its number of
— 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 photographs and
other shaded items, you can set your fax machine to transmit in 64-level greyscale. (And for
just copying and not faxing, you can use
quality.)
So why not set your fax machine to use superfine or
greyscale for
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

General precautions
•
To avoid serious injury, never disassemble the machine. Exposed power points
inside the machine can cause electrical shock if you touch them.
•
Never turn off the power switch (or disconnect the plug) or remove the paper
cassette during printing. Either can cause the fax machine to jam.
•
During thunderstorms, disconnect the machine’s plug from the AC power
outlet and telephone socket (remember the instruction above: if the machine is
printing, wait until the printing ends). Your fax can hold documents in the standard
memory configuration for up to 100* hours.
The machine’s backup battery must have been charged for at least 24 hours.
*
• Before you attach or remove the
that your hands are dry.
• To avoid paper jams, do not load wrinkled or curled paper in the machine.
(This refers to both original documents and paper for printing.)
• Keep liquids and other cleaners away from your machine unless you’re
actually cleaning it as described in “Just in case” (see page 3.1 ff.).
• When you lift the machine, always hold and lift by the slot at right and left sides as
shown in the illustration.
Important: Never grip and lift the machine by the panel or other parts; damage
could result.
Note: As shown, two people must always carry the fax machine.

machine’s other telephone features (see page 2.16) without having to attach a
separate phone.
• Memory upgrades —Extra memory lets your machine save more documents for
operations such as memory transmission (either “live” or delayed), broadcasting,
out-of-paper reception and more.
• Additional paper cassette — You may add up to two 200-page boosting your
machine’s maximum printing paper supply to as much as 801 sheets (counting the
one-sheet multipurpose tray).

To keep your fax machine in perfect working order, the location should be:
• Clean — Dust build-up can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover,
which can promote overheating! See next item.)
• Open around the fax — Allow at least 16
Make sure that you never cover the machine: its vents must be able to “breathe.”
• Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating. If you have to place
the fax near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds to protect the fax from
direct sunlight.
• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water
fountain) could reach your fax machine.
• Level, and vibration-free.

• Use a standard three-pronged 230
• Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch. If it is, you’ll risk
inadvertent power off of your machine, causing you to lose fax messages.
• Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a large appliance, such
as a refrigerator or air conditioner. Such high-consumption appliances can cause
“draw-downs” (temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on
the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.
• If at all possible, use an electrical surge suppresser, preferably one which
guards both telephone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax

Removing the transport screws
Your fax machine is shipped with transport screws for protecting your fax machine’s
mirror carriage during shipping.
Important: Be sure that you do not turn the power on until after you have removed
the transport screws. Otherwise, damage could result.
Remove the four transport screws, as shown.

Installing the printing supplies
Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a high-speed laser print
engine. The engine requires two types of printing supplies, or consumables:
• The drum cartridge — It yields up to 10,000 normal A4-sized printouts (see
“Specifications,” page

Loading the paper cassette
Before you load paper, note the following: A4, B4, A5R and B5R-sized paper.
• The paper cassette can be adjusted to accept
• Before you load the cassette, you will need to “tell” your fax machine which size
of paper you will be loading. You can do this by setting a pin located on the rear
side of the paper cassette.
• You must change the cassette springs suitable for the paper size. (See Important
note at right column in page 1.15.)
Note: If you will be using A4-sized paper, there’s no need to adjust the cassette; your
fax is initially set for this paper size. Simply attach the A4 sticker to the outside
of the paper cassette.
Pull the paper cassette
1.
completely out of your fax.
Press here to
release the cassette
On the rear side of the cassette, you will see the pin and three sets of holes.
2.
For example, when the pin is in the middle set of holes, your fax thinks that
the paper cassette holds A4-sized paper.
For information on how to use a connected second telephone with your fax machine,
see “Receiving faxes,” beginning on page 1.29.
Loading paper
Of course, one of your fax machine’s most outstanding features is how it prints faxes
and makes copies on plain paper! Now, everything that comes out of your fax
machine is ready for distribution or archiving, right from the start.
The following instructions tell you how to load the paper on which the fax machine
makes its printouts — copies and received faxes. Your machine’s standard paper
cassette can hold up to 400 sheets at a time. (Each optional cassette can hold up to
200 sheets).

To change the cassette spring:
Important:
Your paper cassette has two kinds of spring --- blue springs and silver
springs. The blue springs must be used for when using the A5R- or

Installing paper
Open the paper cassette from

the front of your fax by gently
pulling it toward you.
Insert the paper into the cassette.
2.
Note:
Before you insert paper in the cassette, stack it so the leading edge and
sides of the paper are even.
• Make sure the stack of paper isn’t higher than the limit mark on the side of
the cassette.
• Place the edges of the top sheet under the metal tabs on the cassette’s left
and right side (as viewed from its front, as shown).
• The paper cassette can hold about 400 sheets of paper.
Note:
Each of the two optional additional cassettes can hold about 200
sheets of paper. Thus, you can have as many as 800 sheets of paper
“on-line.” For more details on these and other options for your fax
machine, please contact your authorised Muratec dealer.
Attach the paper size sticker on the cassette’s front.

Paper level
indicator
Important:
To avoid paper jams, do not refill this tray without first removing all of
any paper which may remain in it. In other words, do not just add sheets
to an already-loaded stack.
The paper level indicator on the
front paper cassette lets you see
how much paper is in the cassette
without your having to open the
cassette. When you see the paper
level indicator drop (i. e., show
more dark area), make sure you
have a supply of paper nearby.
Then, when you see the “Please
Supply Paper” message on the
display, you’ll be ready to refill the
cassette.
Loading the multipurpose tray for copying
You may use A4-, A5-, A5R- and B5 sized paper in the multipurpose tray, which the
machine uses for only copying, not for faxing.
Important:
If loading transparency (OHP) film into the multipurpose tray, be sure
that the sheet is designed for laser printers and
sure that the film does not have a paper backing and/or a leading strip. If
it does, remove the paper backing and/or strip before inserting. Only
film should go in, not film with any backing or strip.

EasyStart
Getting started
Your Muratec fax machine comes with EasyStart. It guides you in entering the basic
settings required for normal operation — so it’s easy for you to start using your
machine quickly. (Of course, you can make other settings later or change these
settings. We’ll explain in “Beyond the basics,” beginning on page 2.1.)
Clearing settings before beginning
Before using EasyStart, clear your machine’s built-in user data memory, which stores
settings. This insures the memory will hold only your settings.

Note:
If you send a fax in superfine, certain fax models (especially older, nonMuratec models) will receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a
