Safety instructions
This product has been carefully designed to give you years of safe,
reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are
a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or
damaging the product:
•Read the setup instructions in this manual carefully. Be sure to
save it for future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the product
itself.
•Unplug the machine before you clean it. Use only a damp cloth;
do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
•Place the machine on a firm, solid surface. If you put it on
something unsteady, it may fall and be damaged; if you place it on
a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become
blocked, causing the machine to overheat.
•To protect the machine from overheating, make sure no openings
are blocked. Do not put the machine on or near a heat source, such
as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow
enough room around the machine for adequate ventilation and
easy access.
•Do not use the machine 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 supplier
or with your local power provider.
•This machine has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature, and it
will only fit into an earthed outlet. If you can not plug it in, you
probably have an older, non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician
to have the outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
earthing.
•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 are using an extension cable or power strip with the
machine, make sure that the total current (amperes) required by
all the equipment on the extension is less than the extension's
viii
GB4550.book Page ix Wednesday, June 14, 2000 9:21 PM
rating. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet
should not exceed 15 amperes.
•The power outlet into which you plug your machine must remain
accessible at all times.
•It is recommended that the machine be switched off prior to
opening or removing covers.
•Lifting the top cover may expose hot surfaces. Hot surfaces are
clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.
•Do not poke anything into any ventilation slots; you could receive
an electrical shock or cause a fire.
•Apart from the routine maintenance described in the
accompanying documentation, do not try to service the machine
yourself; opening or removing covers may expose you to shocks
or other hazards.
•Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the
manual as you may cause damage requiring extensive repair
work.
If anything happens which indicates the machine is not working properly
or has been damaged, unplug it immediately and contact your supplier.
These are some of the things to look for:
English
•The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
•Liquid has been spilled into the machine, or it has been exposed to
water.
•The machine has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.
•The machine does not function normally when you are following
the operating instructions.
Machine Noise Information Ordinance 3. GSGV 18.1.1991:
The maximum sound pressure level is equal or less than 70 dB (A)
according to ISO 7779.

Toner Cartridge & Image Drum Unit Handling
•Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in their
packages until needed. When replacing a toner cartridge or image
unit, reuse the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge or
image drum unit.
•Do not expose the toner cartridges and image drum units to light
for more than five minutes. Never expose the green drum (inside
the image drum unit) to direct sunlight.
•Always hold the image drum unit by the ends - never by the
middle. Never touch the green drum inside the image drum unit.
•To avoid damage to the image drum unit, always use original
toner cartridges.
•Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge. Do not let it
touch your clothing or porous materials. The toner powder causes
permanent stains.
•Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or clothing can be readily
removed with soap and cold water. Using heated water will make
removing the stain much more difficult.
Emergency First Aid
•IF TONER IS SWALLOWED: Induce vomiting and seek medical
attention. Never attempt to induce vomiting or give anything by
mouth to a person who is unconscious.
•IF TONER IS INHALED: Take the person to an open area for
fresh air. Seek medical attention.
•IF TONER GETS IN THE EYES: Flush eyes with large quantities
of cool, NOT cold, water for a minimum of 15 minutes keeping
eyelids open with fingers. Seek medical attention.

machine is now in stand-by mode, ready to send or receive faxes.
Loading paper
Your fax machine can hold up to 100 sheets of standard weight (80 gsm)
paper. For best results, use paper specially made for laser printers or
photocopiers.
Your fax machine automatically reduces the vertical length of the page
images it receives to fit on the paper loaded in your fax machine (down to
75% of the original length). For example, if a document created originally
on legal-size paper is received, your fax machine reduces the received
pages to fit on A4 or letter-size paper.
Note:Your fax machine is set at the factory to use A4 paper. If you
intend to use a different paper size, change the PAPER SIZE user
function setting to match your new paper size. See Programming
later in this user’s guide for instructions.
1.Adjust the right paper guide to the width size of your paper.
2.Remove the paper from its wrapper (up to 100 sheets). Note the
“print side” notice printed on the label. Fan the paper.
CAUTION:
Be sure to grasp the paper tightly to avoid slipping of the uppermost sheet of
paper.
3.Insert sheets of paper into the paper tray, print side down.

Answering mode options
The answering mode which is best for you will vary depending on how
you use your fax machine and what external telephone devices are
connected to it. Read through the answering modes listed here, then
follow the instructions below.
Auto Receive Mode [FAX]:
If your fax machine is connected to a
telephone line reserved only for fax communications, use the Auto
Receive mode. Your fax machine will assume all incoming calls are fax
messages and automatically receive all incoming fax messages.
Manual Receive Mode [TEL]:
If you use the same line for both fax and
telephone calls and the majority of your incoming calls are telephone
calls, then the TEL answering mode is your best choice. Each time
someone calls, your fax machine rings like a telephone. You can answer
from either an external handset or from an external telephone connected
to your fax machine. If you pick up the handset and hear fax machine
tones (normally a short peep every three seconds), press the Start key to
receive the fax. If you do not answer the phone and someone tries to send
you a fax message, your machine will not accept it.
Note:Some older types of fax machines do not send CNG (calling)
tones and the line may be silent when you answer a call in TEL
answering mode.
If you answer a call using a telephone connected to the same telephone
line, but not connected directly to your fax machine, you can remotely tell
your fax machine to start fax reception by entering a two digit remote
receive number using the telephone keypad. See Remote Receive in
Programming later in this user’s guide.
Telephone/Fax Auto Switch Mode [T/F]:
When incoming calls are a
mixture of fax and telephone calls, your best choice is the Telephone/Fax
Auto SW mode. In this mode, your fax machine detects whether the
incoming call is a fax or voice call. When the call is from another fax
machine, your machine will switch to fax mode and receive the message.
When the call is a voice call, your fax machine will ring like a telephone.
If you do not answer, your fax machine will switch back to fax mode to
allow the calling party to manually send a fax.
Note 1: Only use this mode if the telephone is located close to your fax
machine. After the initial ring, the telephone falls silent, but the
fax machine continues ringing.
22
GB4550.book Page 23 Wednesday, June 14, 2000 9:21 PM
Note 2: If the telephone is connected in parallel with the fax machine, the
fax machine cannot detect that the telephone has been picked up
and will start auto reception while your conversation is in
progress.
English
Telephone Answering Device Mode [TAD]:
Use this mode if you have
connected an answering machine to your fax machine. When a call is
received and is not answered, your answering machine activates and is
ready to send out your recorded outgoing message. At the same time, your
fax machine monitors the incoming call to check if the call is a fax or
voice call. If the incoming call is a fax call, your fax machine will receive
the fax and no voice message will be recorded on your answering
machine. If the incoming call is a voice call, then your fax machine will
not activate and the calling party will be able to leave a voice message on
your answering machine.
Note:In some countries, the Telephone Answering Device mode is
normally turned off. To have it turned on, contact your supplier.
Memory Reception Mode [MEM]:
Use this answering mode if you want
incoming faxes to be stored in the memory of your fax machine and not
immediately printed. You can then use the Print Operation function to
print out any messages that have been stored in the memory. To prevent
any data received from being printed while your fax machine is in
Memory Reception Mode, you can program a password into your fax
machine. See Creating Memory Password in Programming later in this
user’s guide.
PC Receive Mode [PC]:
Use this mode when your fax machine is
connected to your computer and you have the optional software installed
on your computer, which allows your fax machine to act as a fax modem.
Any incoming fax messages would then be sent directly to your computer
for storage and not be printed by your fax machine or stored in the
memory of your fax machine.
Forwarding Mode [FWD]:
The forwarding mode allows received fax
messages to be forwarded to another number.
Note:The forwarding number must be set before this answering mode
is available.

will need to enter the password in order to disable the Memory
Reception mode.

Preparing documents
•Try to use good quality documents for your transmissions.
Documents that are typed or created in felt-tip black ink on white (or
light) paper work best.
•Do not send documents which are not rectangular.
•Never use documents that have wet or sticky surfaces, wrinkles,
staples or paper clips. However, your fax machine can transmit
documents that have been subject to normal wear, such as documents
with staple holes, letter folds and minor corner folds.
•If you are not sure how a document will fax, try making a copy first
on your fax machine (load the document face down and press the
COPY key).
English
•If your documents are very creased, torn, or crinkled, make a copy on
a photocopier and send the copy instead. You can also use a
photocopier to enlarge or reduce documents before sending.
Document size
All documents must have a minimum width of 148 mm and a minimum
length of 128 mm. Documents cannot be wider than 216 mm or longer
than 356 mm.
Multiple page documents
Your fax machine can scan paper with a base weight between 60 gsm and
105 gsm. You can load up to 20 sheets of standard 80 gsm paper (e.g.
photocopier paper) at the same time. If you use a heavier paper, you can
load up to 15 sheets. For very heavy paper, manually load sheets and send
pages sheet-by-sheet.
When loading several pages for transmission, paper thickness should be
between 0.08 mm and 0.13 mm. For single page transmission, paper
thickness can be between 0.06 mm and 0.15 mm.

Loading documents
To prevent paper jams and problems during scanning, neatly stack your
documents, aligning their edges, before loading. Do not load documents
of different sizes at the same time and do not force the documents in to the
document feeder to prevent multiple feeding and paper jams.
Note:You can load and prepare to transmit a document while your fax
machine is still sending or receiving another message (as long as
the document feeder is clear). To do this, load the document,
select your location and press the Start key. Your document will
be scanned into memory and sent when the current
communication ends.
1.Adjust the document guides to the width of the paper you are using.
2.Neatly stack your documents, then insert them face down into the
document feeder. If necessary, readjust the document guides for a
snug fit.
3.Your fax machine will grip the documents and pull the bottom page
into the machine.
4.If necessary, use the Transmit Resolution or ! YES key to set the
resolution of your document.

Confidential faxes
Fax machines are often placed in public places where anyone can look
through received faxes. To overcome this, use the confidential fax feature
when sending and/or receiving confidential faxes.

key first.
English
You can send and receive confidential faxes to and from other fax
machines with personal mail boxes. However, the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) has now created a worldwide standard
that uses ITU sub-addressing to allow fax machines or PC fax software
from different manufacturers to send and receive confidential faxes.
When sending confidential faxes, you must know in advance the mail box
number, or ITU sub-address, of the recipient you are sending the message
to. Ask the person who is receiving the fax to tell you their mail box
number, or ITU sub-address.
A receiving fax machine stores the message in a confidential mail box or
ITU sub-address protected by a password and will not print any
confidential faxes until the correct password is entered.

Relay broadcasting
Relay broadcasting is where one fax machine, which is the relay initiating
station, sends a document to another fax machine. The receiving fax
machine, which is the relay key station, then re-sends (broadcasts) the
document to a number of other locations.
Relay initiating station
Your fax machine can act as the relay initiating station which starts the
relay broadcast by sending the original documents. Before programming
your fax machine to initiate a relay broadcast, you need to obtain the
following information from the operator of the fax machine you intend to
use as a relay key station:
Chapter 5 - Advanced Operations59
!

Relay Password:
This is the relay key word (up to 20 digits) which is
programmed into the relay key station.
Relay Group Numbers:
These numbers (up to 20 digits) are the code
numbers of locations or groups of locations programmed into the relay
key station.
Relay key station
The relay key station is the fax machine which receives the original fax
message and then automatically relays or broadcasts the message to other
fax machines. For this feature to be available, the relay key station must
be a fax machine that has a sub-function for relay request.
Relay broadcast report
After a relay broadcast is completed, it is possible for the relay key station
to send a message back to your fax machine confirming the success of the
relay broadcast. For this function to work, the telephone number of your
fax machine must be programmed into the Auto Dial list of your fax
machine with the Auto Dial code number 70.

your fax machine to be polled, or polling transmission. Calling another
fax machine to receive documents someone else has loaded into their fax
machine is called polling reception.
English
There are two standards for polling. Standard polling is to an old standard
that is used by many, but not all manufacturers and ITU selective polling,
which is the latest standard. Your fax machine supports both standards.
