About fax machines
Custom features
Do you have Voice Mail on th e phone li ne?
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line where you will install your
new machine, there is a strong p ossibility that Voice Mail and the machine may conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.
Why should there be problems?
Since both the machine and Voice Mail will pick up the call, after the
number of rings you have set, each of them has the ability to keep
the other from receiving calls.
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to answer after two rings and
your machine is set to answer after four, your Voice Mail will stop
your machine from receiving faxes.
If you set Voice Mail and the machine to answer after the same
number of rings, there is no way of knowing which one will answer
first. It is important to remember that neither Voice Mail nor the
machine can pass the call back to the other after the call has been
answered.
How can you avoid possible problems?
A very good way to avoid problems like the one mentioned,
a second phone numbe r on your present phone line.
Many pe ople with Voice M ail choose an alternative service, which is
called “Unique Ring”, and they are very satisfied with it. (See
Ring on page 5-11.)
Another way to avoid possible problems is to replace your Voice Mail
with an answering machine. Your machine is designed to work with
an answering machine or TAM (telephon e answe ring machine).

Unique
Fax tones and handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones
(CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds.
You’ll hear them after you dial and press
for about 60 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending
machine must begin the “handshake”, or connection, with the
receiving machine.
Each time you use automa tic procedures to send a fax, you are
sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for
these quiet beeps each time you answer a pho ne on your fax line, so
you will know if you are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud,
chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the
phone line, and the LCD shows Receiving.
If your machine is set to the Fax Only mode, it will answer every call
automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up,
your machine will continue to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds,
and the LCD continues to show Receiving. To cancel receiving,
press
Stop.
The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG
tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for
at least 2 to 4 seconds, so both machines can understand how each
is sending and receiving the fax. The h andshake cannot begin until
the call is answered, and th e CNG tones only last for about 60
seconds after the num ber is dialed. So it is important for the receiving
machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.
Start and they will continue
When you have an external Telephone Answering machine
(TAM) on your fax line, your TAM will decide the number of rings
before the call is answered.
Pay special at tention to the directions for connecting a TAM in
this chapter. (See
machin e (TAM) on page 1-15.)

ECM (Err or Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check
a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects
errors during fax transmission, if resends the pages of the fax that
had an error. ECM transmissions are on ly possible between f ax
machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and
receive fax messages that are continuously being checked by the
machine.
Your machine must have enough memory for this feature to work.
Connecting the machine
Connecting an external telephone
Although your machine does not have a handset, you can connect a
separate telephone (or telephone answeri ng device) directly to your
machine as shown in the diagram b elow.

labeled EXT. in the back of the m achine.
Whenever this phone (or TAM) is in use, the LCD shows

Connecting an external telephone answering
machine (TAM)
Sequ ence
You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when
you have an ex ternal TAM on the same telephone line as the
machine, the TAM answers all calls and the machine “listens” for fax
calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call
and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the machine lets
the TAM continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can
leave you a voice message.
The TAM must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is
two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAM has
answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds
of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure you carefully
follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing
message. We do not recommend using the t oll saver feature on your
external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay
setting on your external TAM.
If You Subscri be to your Telephone Com pany’s Unique Ring
Service:
You may connect an external TAM to a separate wall jack only
if you subscribe to your telephone compan y’s Unique Ring
service, have registered the unique ring pattern on your
machine, and use that number as a fax number. The
recommended setting is four rings on the external TAM when
you have the tel ephone company’s Unique Ring Service.
If You Do Not Su bscribe to Unique Ring Service:
You must plug your TAM into the EXT. jack of your machine. If
your TAM is plugged into a wall jack, bo th your machine and the
TAM will try to control the p hone line. (See illustration on the
next page.)

2Plug the t elephone line cord from your external TAM into the

and not its telephone jack.)
3Set your external TAM to four rings or less. (The machine’s Ring

4Record the outgoing message on your external TAM.
5Set the TAM to answer calls.
6Set the Answer Mode to External TAM.
(See Cho osing the An swer Mode on page 5-1.)
Recording outgoing message (OGM) o n an external TAM
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up
the ways to handle both manual and autom atic fax reception.
1Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones
of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code
for people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing
51 and Start.”
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a
resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your
machine has trouble receiving, then you must rerecord the OGM
to include it.
INTRODUCTION 1 - 17
Special line considerations
Two-lin e phone system
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone
numbers on the same wall outlet. The two phon e numbers can be on
separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your
machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks
may be equal in size and ap pearance and both may contain four
wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a
two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must
separate the line for your m achine. ( See
Convertin g teleph one wall outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways
may require assistance from the telephone company. You can
change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or,
you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of
the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a
triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1
and 2). If your machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the
triplex adapter. If your machine is on Li ne 2, plug it into L2 of the triple
adapter.

Installin g machine, external two -lin e TAM and two-l ine
telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering
machine (TAM) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be
isolated on one line at bo th the wall jack and at the TAM. The most
common connection is to put the machine on Line 2, which is
explained in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAM must
have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the othe r
labeled L2. You will need at least three tele phone line cords, the one
that came with your machine and two for your external two-line TAM.
You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.
1Place the two-line TAM and the two-line telephone next to your
machin e.
2Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the
L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE
jack on the back of the machine.
3Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAM into
the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1
or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAM.
4Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAM
into the L2 jack of the two-line TAM. Plug the other end into the
EXT. jack on the left side of the machine.

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always.
There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the ma chine’s wall
outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line
telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug
the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAM.
INTRODUCTION 1 - 19
Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the
company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line
for the machine. You can then leave the Receive Mode set to FAX
Only to receive faxes any time of the day or ni ght.
If the machine is to be connected to a m ulti-line system, ask your
installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This
prevents the unit from bei ng activated each time a telephone call is
received.
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two
wire system. If your line has more than two wires, p roper
connection of the machin e cannot be made .
If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX
1 It is not guaranteed that the unit will op erate correctly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the company that handles your PBX.
2 If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator,
it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to Ma nua l . All
incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
Custom features on your phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Caller ID, RingMaster, an
answering service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one
phone line it may create a problem with the ope ration of your
machine. ( See

For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially
for plain paper and transparencies. For more information on paper
specifications, call your nearest authorized sales representative or
the place where you purchased your machine.
■ Use label or transparencies that are designed for use in las er
printers.
■ For the best print quality, we recommend using long-grained
paper.
■ If you are using special paper and the paper has problems
feeding from the pap er tray, try again using the multi-purpose
tray.
