Safety
Your OKIFAX 740 has been carefully designed to gi ve you years
of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,
there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting
yourself or damaging the unit:
•Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual
carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
machine itself.
•Unplug the OKIFAX 740 before you clean it. Use only a
damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
•Place your OKIFAX 740 on a firm, solid surface. If you
put in on something unsteady, it might f all and be damaged;
if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed,
the vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.
•To protect your OKIFAX 740 from overheating, make sure
no openings on the machine are blocked. Do not put the
machine on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat
register. If you put the machine in any kind of enclosure,
make sure it is well ventilated.
•Do not use your OKIFAX 740 near water, or spill liquid of
any kind into it.
•Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the back of the machine. If you are not sure, check with
your dealer or with your local power company.
•Your OKIFAX 740 has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a earthed outlet. If you can
not plug it in, chances are that you have an older,
non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have it replaced
with a earthed outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
earthing.
•The outlet into which you plug your OKIFAX 740 must
remain easily accessible at all times.
•To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything
on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable
becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
•If you’re using an extension cable or power strip with the
machine, make sure that the total current required by all
the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s
rating. Generally, the total r atings of all equipment plugged
into any one power line should not exceed 15 amperes. Do
not exceed this unless you know that the power line your
equipment is plugged into has a rating above 15 amperes.
•Aside from the routine maintenance described in this
manual, don’t try to service the machine yourself; opening
the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards. Do
not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the
manual, you might cause damage requiring extensi ve repair
work.

•If anything happens that indicates that your OKIFAX 740
is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it
immediately and contact your Oki dealer for service. These
are some of the things to look for:
•The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
•Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the machine
has been exposed to water.
•The machine has been dropped or its cabinet has been
damaged.
•The machine doesn’t function normally when you are

Memory T ransmission
Using this feature your OKIF AX 740 can store a document
in its internal memory for subsequent transmission, either
immediately or at a later time.
You may scan your document into memory , then retrieve it
leaving your fax machine to place the call and send the
document.
A document scanned into memory for delayed transmission,
up to 24 hours ahead, eliminates the need to leave the
document in the document feeder until after transmission.
A document stored in memory may be sent, either
immediately or later, to up to 70 different locations,

P olling Reception
Setting the ID Code (Function 22)
This feature enables your OKIFAX 740 to call other fax
machines and request a document from them. The remote
machines must, of course, be set for polling transmission.
This application is useful if, for e xample, you wish to collect
reports or other documents from eac h of your branch off ices.
Delayed polling reception allows this activity to be carried
out at night, taking advantage of off-peak telephone call
charges.
There are two kinds of polling transmission:
Free PollingAny f a x m a chine with remote polling
facilities can call and request document
which has been prepared.
ID PollingThe transmitting machine has a special ID
code as a security feature. Only a remote

Routine Maintenance
Cleaning External Surfaces
Your OKIF AX 740 is designed to giv e reliable and troublefree operation for many years. However, occasional care
and attention to the items covered in this section will help
to ensure optimum performance.
Care of Recording Paper
Your OKIFAX 740 is designed to print on ordinary plain
paper. Paper designed for use in inkjet or laser printers or
copiers should be satisfactory in most applications.
1. Store paper sealed in its wrapper until required for use,
and store flat in a clean, dry en vir onment. Damp paper
causes poor print quality and may result in paper jams
and misfeeds.
2. Avoid overloading the automatic sheet feeder. It is
designed to hold 150 sheets maximum.
3. Ensure that the paper guide is set to the correct width
(Letter or A4) for the size of paper in use.
If you wish to clean the outside of your fax mac hine, follo w
the precautions below:
1. Switch off power to your OKIFAX 740 and remove
the ac power plug from the wall or floor socket.
2. Use a clean, damp (but not soaking wet) cloth to gently
wipe clean the external surfaces. Avoid the use of
proprietary cleaners and polishes. Especially avoid
contact with solvents, which may discolour or dama ge
the casing.
3. Ensure that no liquids enter the inside of the machine
at any time. Should this happen by accident, do not
apply power, but call for service.
4. Ensure that all surfaces are completely dry before
restoring ac power to the machine.
