ABOUT THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OF 1991

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including FAX machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)

In order to program this information into your FAX machine, you should complete the following steps: See page 97 of this Operation manual.

Important safety information

• The AC power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the

network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of

electric shock from lightning.

• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

• Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. Take care not to spill any liquids on the

machine.

FCC Notice to users:

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may disconnect your service temporarily. If possible, They will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a compliant with the FCC.

AUTO-DIALING

This product includes an auto-dialing feature to make dialing easier. By programming frequently dialed numbers, you can call and send documents to these locations by means of a simple dialing operation (p.16). There are two types of auto-dialing: rapid dialing and group dialing. To program auto-dial numbers, refer to pages p.67, p.71.

Rapid dialing

Simply press a rapid key and then press the [START] key ( ) to dial the programmed location. When using F-code transmission, a sub-address and passcode can also be programmed (p.52).

Touch the [ADDRESS BOOK] key in the initial screen to display the above screen.

Note

Caution

• A total of 500 rapid dial and group dial keys can be programmed. (p.65)

• Programmed rapid keys and group dial keys are stored on "index cards". A key can be accessed by touching

its card. (p.8)

To prevent calling or sending a fax to a wrong number, look carefully at the touch panel and make sure that you enter the correct number when programming an auto-dial number. You can also check programmed numbers by printing out an address list or group list after programming (p.79).

Group dialing

Multiple destinations can be programmed into a single rapid key. This is convenient for successively sending a document to multiple locations.

• The destinations can be stored by specifying rapid keys, or by directly entering full fax numbers with the numeric keys (the destinations do not need to be previously stored in rapid keys).

Touch the [ADDRESS BOOK] key in the initial screen to display the above screen.

REDIALING

The last number dialed can be redialled by simply pressing the [REDIAL] key. The machine keeps the last number dialed with a rapid key or the numeric keys in memory. However, when an F-code transmission is performed, the machine only retains the fax number; it does not retain the sub-address or passcode.

• If numeric keys were pressed during a phone conversation, the [REDIAL] key may not dial the correct number.

• The number is not retained when the following special operations are performed (the last number that was dialed before the special operation is retained):

• Broadcast transmission

• Serial polling

• Timer transmission

• Group dialing

ON-HOOK DIALING

This feature allows you to dial without lifting an extension phone connected to the machine. Touch the [SPEAKER] key, listen for the dial tone through the speaker, and then dial.

• Faxes must be sent manually when using on-hook dialing. (p.61)

• A number that includes a sub-address or passcode cannot be dialed by on-hook

dialing.

SENDING A FAX

BASIC PROCEDURE FOR SENDING FAXES

The procedure for sending a fax in memory transmission mode (p.14) is explained in the following.

Chapter 2

BASIC OPERATIONS

Make sure that the machine is in fax

mode.

When the [FAX] key light is on, the machine is in fax mode. If the light is not on, press the [FAX] key.

Make sure that memory transmission

mode is selected.

Memory transmission mode is selected when "MEMORY TX" is highlighted in the [DIRECT TX MEMORY TX] key. If "DIRECT TX " is highlighted, touch the [DIRECT TX MEMORY TX] key.

Place the original.

Check the original size.

If the address directory screen appears, touch the [CONDITION SETTINGS] key to display the condition settings screen (p.7). If you loaded a

non-standard size original or the original size was not correctly detected, touch the [ORIGINAL] key and set the original size. ("MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING SIZE" (p.20))

If needed, adjust the resolution and

exposure settings.

Resolution: Page 21

Exposure: Page 22

If needed, select the

sender's name. (p.45)

Note

For originals that can be sent, see "ORIGINALS" on page 9. If you are sending multiple pages, scan the pages in order beginning from the first page.

You cannot place originals in both the RSPF and on the document glass and send them in a single fax transmission.

Enter the fax number.

The number that you

entered appears in the

message display

("Condition Setting

screen" (p.7 )).

If it is not correct, press

the [CLEAR] key ( )

and re-enter the number.

You can also use the REDIAL key (p.11) or an auto-dial number (p.11).

BASIC OPERATIONS

ADD

SUB A

PAUSE

READ-END

(Pg.No. 2)

Entering a pause.

If you need to insert a pause between digits to access an outside line or dial an international number, touch the [PAUSE] key in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

Each time you touch the [PAUSE] key, a hyphen ("-") appears and a 2-second pause* is inserted. After entering a number, you can also touch the [PAUSE] key to enter a hyphen, and then enter another number using the numeric keys or a rapid key. This connects the numbers together (Chain dialing). *The duration of each pause can be changed with the key operator program. ("PAUSE TIME SETTING" (p.97))

Note

Group keys cannot be used for chain dialing.

Using the RSPF

Press the [START] key ( ).

Scanning begins. If a job is not in progress and the telephone line is not being used, the destination is dialed while the original is being scanned. (This is called "Quick on-line"; see page

14). If there is a previously stored job or a job is in progress, or if the line is being used, all pages of the document are scanned into memory and stored as a transmission job. (This is called memory transmission: the destination is automatically called and the document transmitted after previously stored jobs are completed.) If scanning is completed normally, a beep sounds to inform you that the transmission job is stored and "JOB STORED." appears in the message display.

Using the document glass

Press the [START] key ( ).

The original is scanned and the [READ-END] key appears.

If you have another page to scan,

change pages and then press the [START] key ( ).

Repeat this sequence until all pages have been scanned. You can change the original size, resolution, and exposure settings as needed for each page. If no action is taken for one minute (the [START] key ( ) is not pressed), scanning automatically ends and the transmission job is stored.

After the final page is scanned, touch

the [READ-END] key.

A beep sounds to inform you that the transmission job is stored and "JOB STORED." appears in the message display. (The destination is automatically called and

the document transmitted after previously stored jobs are completed.) Open the RSPFand remove the document.

Note

Caution

Canceling transmission

To cancel transmission while "SCANNING ORIGINAL" appears in the display or before the [READ-END] key is pressed, press the [CLEAR] key ( ) or the [CLEAR ALL] key ( ). To cancel a transmission job that is already stored, press the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the job as explained on page 24.

• If the machine sounds two beeps during or at the end of transmission and an error message appears in the touch panel, refer to "WHEN AN ALARM SOUNDS AND A WARNING MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED" (p.86) to fix the problem.

• If the power is turned off or there is an interruption in the power supply while an original is being scanned using the RSPF, scanning will stop and a misfeed will occur. After the power is restored, remove the misfed original as explained in "MISFEED REMOVAL" in the operation manual for copier.

BASIC OPERATIONS

Memory transmission mode

When memory transmission mode is selected, the original is scanned into memory and then sent to the destination. When the RSPF is used for transmission, transmission of the first scanned page begins while the remaining pages are scanned. (See "Quick On-line transmission" below.) If Quick On-line transmission is not enabled, or if the document glass is used for scanning, all pages of the original are scanned into memory before the destination is dialed and transmission begins. The number of pages that can be held in memory varies depending on the content of the pages, the transmission settings, and the amount of memory installed (p.107).

Note

When On-hook dialing is used, direct transmission mode is automatically selected (memory transmission mode cannot be used).

Quick On-line

When the RSPF is used for memory transmission and there are no previously stored jobs waiting or in progress (and the line is not being used), the machine dials the destination and begins transmitting scanned pages while the remaining pages are scanned. This transmission method is called Quick On-line. The messages "SCANNING ORIGINAL." and "CONNECTING." both appear until scanning of the final page is completed. If the receiving party is busy when a Quick On-line transmission is attempted, the transmission will be automatically reattempted at a later time. (See "If the receiving party is busy" on page 15.)

Note

• The machine is initially set (factory setting) to perform Quick On-line transmission. If desired, you can turn off this function in the key operator programs (see "QUICK ON LINE SENDING" (p.100)).

• When an original is transmitted using the following methods, the job will be stored in memory (Quick On-line transmission will not be performed):

• Sending from the document glass • Broadcast transmission (p.26) • Timer transmission (p.30)

• F-code transmission (Chapter 4)

Direct transmission mode

When direct transmission mode is selected, the document is directly transmitted after the destination is dialed. Direct transmission mode does not use memory, and thus transmission is possible even when the memory is full.

Note

• A subsequent transmission cannot be stored when direct transmission mode is selected.

• When the document glass is used, only one page can be faxed in direct transmission mode.

• The following funtions cannot be used when direct transmission mode is selected:

image rotation (p.15), Broadcasting (p.26) and other functions for transmission to multiple destinations, timer transmission (p.30), two-sided original scanning (p.17), divided page transmission (p.40), and job build (p.18).

BASIC OPERATIONS

Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)

If a transmission is performed in memory transmission mode while the machine is already sending or receiving a fax, the document will be scanned into memory and then automatically transmitted after the previous job is completed (this is called storing a transmission). Up to 50 jobs can be stored in memory at once, not including the job currently being executed. After transmission, the scanned document data is cleared from memory.

Note

• You can check transmission jobs stored in memory in the job status screen. (See "PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS" in the operation manual for copier.)

• If the memory becomes full while a document is being scanned, a message will appear in the display. You can cancel the scanning by touching the [CANCEL] key, or send only the pages already scanned by touching the [SEND] key. The page that was being scanned when the memory became full will be cleared from memory. If the memory becomes full while scanning the first page of a document, the transmission job is automatically canceled.

• The number of jobs that can be stored will depend on the number of pages in each job and the transmission conditions. The number of storable jobs will increase if the optional expansion memory (8 MB) is installed.

If the receiving party is busy

If the receiving party is busy, the transmission is temporarily canceled and then automatically re-attempted after a brief interval (two attempts are made at an interval of 3 minutes*). If you do not want the machine to re-attempt the transmission, touch the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the transmission. (p.24) *This setting can be changed in the key operator programs ("RECALL IN CASE OF LINE BUSY" (p.100)).

If a transmission error occurs

The machine will automatically re-attempt transmission (once at an interval of one minute*1) if transmission does not end normally due to a line error or other reason, or if the other machine does not begin reception within 60 seconds* and cancel the transmission.(p.24)

This setting can be changed in the key operator programs. ("RECALL IN CASE OF COMMUNICATION ERROR"

This setting can be changed in the key operator programs. ("CALL TIMER AT MEMORY SENDING" (p.100))

(p.100))

after the connection is established. To cancel automatic retransmission, touch the [JOB STATUS] key

Image rotation

The machine is initially set to rotate a vertically-placed ( ) document 90 degrees so that it is oriented horizontally ( ) before transmission (8-1/2" x 11" originals are rotated to 8-1/2" x 11"R and A4 originals are rotated to A4R). (8-1/2" x 11"R originals and A4R originals are not rotated.) If desired, you can turn this function off with the key operator program as explained on page 100.

Caution

When a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original is faxed from the RSPF, the original size will be automatically detected. However, when the document glass is used, the size of a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original will not automatically be detected. When faxing a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original from the document glass, you must manually set the original size. ("MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING SIZE" (p.20))

Error Correction Mode (ECM)

Noise on the line can sometimes cause distortions in a transmitted fax image. When this happens, the ECM function automatically resends the part of the image that was distorted.

• When this function is turned on, transmission will take slightly longer than normal.

• In order for ECM to operate, the other machine must also have the ECM function.

FAXING A LARGE NUMBER OF PAGES

When you have a large number of pages to fax, scan the pages in batches using the RSPF. A maximum of 100 pages can be placed in the RSPF at once; however, placing pages in batches allows you to scan in more than 100 pages and send them in a single transmission. Note that the number of pages that can be scanned may vary depending on the content of the pages and how much memory is being used.

Make sure that the machine is in fax

Repeat this step until all pages have been scanned. You can change the original size, resolution, and exposure settings as needed for each page. If you take no action for about 1 minute (you do not press the [START] key ( )), scanning automatically ends and the job is stored for transmission.

Note

• If the memory becomes full while originals are being scanned, a message will appear and scanning will stop. The page that was being scanned when the memory became full will be cleared. To transmit only the originals that have already been scanned, touch the [SEND] key. To cancel the transmission, touch the [CANCEL] key.

• Depending on the content of the originals, the memory may become full before 100 pages are scanned.

• When using job build mode, the number of originals scanned will appear in the display. When the count

reaches 256 pages, it will reset to 0 and further scanned pages will be counted from 1.

• When using job build mode, the original size can be changed between originals.

• When scanning the first set of originals, the [ROTATE THE IMAGE 90 DEGREES] checkbox can be selected,

however, from the second set of originals on, the selection cannot be changed until scanning is finished (the checkbox will be grayed out).

• Direct transmission is not possible when using job build mode. A job build transmission takes place as a memory transmission even if Quick Online is enabled (transmission does not begin until all originals are scanned).

When the last original page has been

scanned, touch the [READ-END] key.

A beep sounds to inform you that the job has been stored for transmission. [JOB STORED.] appears in the message display. (Dialing and transmission begin automatically when any previously stored jobs are completed.)

When another fax machine sends a fax to your machine, your machine will ring*, automatically receive the fax, and begin printing (automatic reception).

Note

Caution

• You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress. ("Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)" (p.15))

• To print received fax pages on both sides of the paper, enable "DUPLEX RECEPTION SETTING" in the key operator programs. (p.101)

To receive faxes, sufficient paper must be loaded in the paper tray. Refer to "LOADING PAPER" in operation manual for copier to load appropriate paper. Incoming 8-½" x 11" and A4 size faxes will be automatically adjusted to the orientation of the printing paper, so there is no need to load each size of paper both horizontally ( ) and vertically ( ). However, if you receive a fax that is smaller than 8-1/2" x 11" size, the paper size used to print the fax will depend on how the original was oriented (vertically or horizontally) in the sending fax machine.

RECEIVING A FAX

The machine will ring* and reception

will automatically begin.

*Number of rings

The machine has been set to ring twice before beginning automatic reception. The number of rings can be set to any number from 0 to 9 in the key operator programs. ("NUMBER OF CALLS IN AUTO RECEPTION" (p.101)) If the number of rings is set to 0, the machine will receive faxes without ringing.

Reception ends.

Note

If the machine has multiple output trays, the output tray for fax reception can be selected in the key operator programs. See "OUTPUT TRAYS" in the key operator’s guide.

When reception ends, a beep sounds.

If received faxes cannot be printed

If the machine runs out of paper or toner, or a paper jam occurs, or if the machine is printing a print or copy job, received faxes will be held in memory until printing becomes possible. The received fax are automatically printed when printing becomes possible. When received faxes are held in memory, the data light next to the [FAX] key blinks. You can also use the transfer function to have another fax machine print the received faxes. ("FORWARDING RECEIVED FAXES TO ANOTHER MACHINE WHEN PRINTING IS NOT POSSIBLE" (p.28))

Caution

If a double beep sounds during reception or at the end of reception and an error message appears in the touch panel, clear the error as explained in "WHEN AN ALARM SOUNDS AND A WARNING MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED" (p.86).

SENDING THE SAME DOCUMENT TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS IN A SINGLE OPERATION (BROADCAST TRANSMISSION)

Chapter 3

ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS

This feature is used to send a fax to multiple destinations in a single operation. The document to be transmitted is scanned into memory and then successively transmitted to the selected destinations. This feature is convenient for such purposes as distributing a report to company branches in different locations. Up to 200 destinations can be selected. When transmission to all destinations has been completed, the document is automatically cleared from memory.

Note

Sender

• If you frequently use broadcasting to send faxes to the same group of destinations, it is convenient to program those destinations into a group key. A group key is a rapid key in which multiple destinations are programmed. The procedure for programming group keys is explained on page 71.

• When using a group key to send a fax, the destinations programmed in the group key are counted as broadcasting destinations. For example, if five destinations are programmed in a group key and the key is touched for a broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission will have five destinations.
