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.

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.

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.
