Connection and power - r b

Getting started

Please make sure that your PM80 is charged for at least two hours before using it for the first time.

Connection

In order to operate, your Possio PM80 needs a cellular telephone with PC card, Infrared mo­dem or a Card Phone. Your GSM subscription must have a fax service activated. Generally in
this manual “cellular phone” refers to one of the three connecting methods mentioned.

To connect
With a cellular phone and PC Card

Insert the PC card upside-down into the slot at the bottom of PM80. Connect the PC card to
your cellular telephone. Start by turning on the cellular phone, then switch PM80 on.

With a Card Phone

Insert the Card Phone upside-down into the slot at the bottom of the PM80. For further infor­mation on Card Phone features see section Card Phone P.21.

With a cellular phone with IrDA connection

Please refer to your phone’s manual on how to activate the infrared port on your phone. For
further information on IR-features see section Infrared function P.19.

Power

The PM80 has a powerful internal battery. The battery is charged by plugging the charger into
the socket on the left-hand side of the PM80.

8

Power supply

When using the original PM80 charger the PM80 is automatically switched on and charged.
You will hear a “doiing” sound at power-on, and then the “flute” sound indicating that the
PM80 is ready to communicate.

The PM80 is always switched on when connected to its charger.

When disconnected from the charger, the PM80 can still operate using its internal battery.

If it has been inactive for 20 minutes the PM80 will automatically enter a power saving stand­by mode. The green n-indicator will blink at 5 second intervals. The PM80 is reactivated by
pressing any key for a minimum of 5 seconds. The power down time can be changed, see
Settings P.16.

Note 1: If the PM80 does not switch On when connected to the charger, then disconnect the charger and press the

a-key and the x-key simultaneously, then reconnect to the charger.

Note 2: The battery is fully charged after 4 hours.
Note 3: The battery has a capacity of 4-5 days in stand-by mode.
Note 4: If you do not wish to use the PM80 for a lengthy period you should switch it off completely to avoid

unnecessary charging of the battery.

9

To switch on using the internal battery

To switch PM80 on: Press the b-key and the x-key simultaneously for at least 2 seconds.

To activate the PM80 after it has entered stand-by mode:
Press any key for at least five seconds, or until the PM80 is lit.

To switch off

To switch off the PM80: Press the a-key and the x-key simultaneously. Disconnect the
charger if connected.

Low battery warning

When the battery charge drops below 20%, the v-indicator will blink and a warning signal
will sound. Connect the PM80 to its original charger as soon as possible to avoid any loss of
data.

Settings such as date and time will always be maintained by the PM80´s internal back-up
system.

10

Message handling - r c

Sending faxes

Sending a fax message with the PM80 is done in two steps: Scanning and Transmitting.

Scanning

Hold the document with both hands and insert it firmly into the scanner slot. (Document text
facing the PM80 as shown on symbol)

The PM80 makes a clicking and grabs the document after a short delay and quickly scans it.
Repeat the procedure for each page of the document.

Note 1: The time between the scanning of pages must be less than one hour.
Note 2: Unsuccessfully transmitted pages remain in the document memory and no additional pages can be scanned

in. The Error sound is heard when a new page is inserted into the scanner slot. Either send pages or erase the
document memory. (See “Erasing the Document Memory” P.13.)

Note 3: If PM80 stops scanning due to low battery level, the paper can only be released after the PM80 has been

recharged by pressing m and p.

Note 4: Scanned documents which have not been sent remain in the document memory for two hours.

Dialling

Dial the desired fax number, including the area code, on the PM80 and start transmission by
pressing the t-key on the PM80.

To re-dial the last number, press t for a minimum of two seconds.

The cellular telephone now makes the connection and the first part of a transmission report is
printed. Transmission of the pages begins after a few seconds. During transmission you will
hear a clicking sound.

11

When transmission is completed, the PM80 will print the remaining part of the transmission
report. This tells you if all your pages were successfully transmitted, or if an error occurred and
the transmission was unsuccessful. It also gives details on battery level, time, signal strength,
speed, duration and resolution.

Note: To generate the + sign for international access; press the x-key, before dialling the country code.

Successful transmission

The transmission report will print “Result: OK”. Successfully transmitted pages are automati­cally erased from the document memory.

Unsuccessful transmission

Unsuccessfully transmitted pages remain in the document memory for one hour. You can retry
sending these pages to the last number dialled by pressing the t-key for more than two
seconds.

Receiving faxes

In cellular telephony fax messages are often temporarily stored in the network pending for­warding to the cellular fax number.

At a time that is convenient for you, connect your cellular phone or card phone to the PM80.
Access the message service centre in the way defined by your network operator in order to
initiate the forwarding and reception of your fax messages.

Receiving faxes

The PM80 will automatically receive and print incoming fax messages when switched on.

When reception is completed the call is disconnected. To save transmission costs, the call
may end before the PM80 has finished printing.

12

If the fax reception is not successfully completed a reception report will be printed.

Note: If your network and handset support “Speech then fax”, you can start fax transmission during a voice call by

pressing the t-key. At this point, if no document has been scanned in, fax reception will begin. However,
if the document memory contains a scanned document, fax transmission will start.

Fax Polling / Retrieve

To request fax polling of a remote fax number press p followed by the poll number.

Note: For international access you can generate the + by pressing the x- key before dialling the poll number

(including country code).

Out of paper

If you run out of paper while receiving a message, the PM80 will stop printing. Change the
paper roll as described in Paperhandling. Continue printing by pressing m.

Copying

You can make copies of scanned documents. After copying, the document can be transmitted
if desired.

To copy

Scan the document as for sending. Access the Main Menu by pressing the m-key. Select
Copying by pressing the a-key.

A copy of the document is then printed. You can print a number of copies of a document one
after the other without erasing it.

13

Erasing the document memory

To erase

Press the red s-key for at least two seconds. The scanned document will be erased from the
document memory and the “crash sound” will be heard.

Note: The document memory will be automatically erased if you do not attempt to send the document within two

hours.

SMS Message Printing

Incoming SMS messages will be printed automatically if supported by your modem.

For automatic printing of SMS from a Card Phone see Automatic SMS message printing.

Generally stored SMS messages on the SIM-card can be printed by pressing m followed by cc.

Note: Printing an SMS message will automatically erase the message from the SIM card.

Please refer to our Internet Homepage, www.possio.com, for the latest information on SMS
message printing on your specific cellular phone and modem.

14

Paper handling - r d

The thermal paper roll is placed under the rear top lid. The roll is held in position by two
plastic wheels.

IMPORTANT: RE-USE THE PLASTIC WHEELS FOR THE NEW PAPER ROLL!

To load a new paper roll

Remove the lid by pressing the two flanges on the sides, then lift it off.

Remove the old core roll. Move the plastic wheels onto the new roll.

Ensure that the paper edge is even and straight. Make sure that the PM80 is switched on.

Unroll some paper and place the roll behind the PM80. Insert the edge into the paper entry slot.

Press the x-key for at least 2 seconds to feed paper. The PM80 will feed paper until you
release the key. If the paper misfeeds, it can be fed in reverse by pressing p.

On the outer side of the plastic wheels there are two metal levers to release the pressure of the
printing head. Press them firmly towards you, then adjust and centre the paper by pulling it out
if necessary. Then insert the paper roll into its cradle.

Replace the rear top lid and your PM80 is ready for use!

Confirm that the new paper roll is in place by pressing the document key m.

15

Paper jam

If you experience a minor paper jam try reversing the paper feed. While pressing the p-key,
remove the paper roll, release the metal levers and pull out the paper.

If your PM80 suffers a severe paper jam, please switch it off immediately. Contact your local
dealer or support centre for help.

Note: Never attempt to cut the PM80, insert foreign objects into it, or repair it yourself. Doing so will invalidate

your warranty.

Tearing the paper

Grasp the paper and tear it off towards you and against the edge.

For a straight edge, tear firmly from one side to the other. Practice makes perfect! It is easier to
tear the paper if the end is not too short. Use the x-key to feed more paper.

Note: Remember that you cannot pull the paper yourself, unless you release the printing head by pulling the levers

under the lid towards you.

16

Settings - m b

All settings made by the user will be retained as new default values. You can change your
settings at any time

Date and Time - m bb

Before you start transmitting faxes you can set the date and time.

To set the current date and time, access the Main Menu by pressing the m-key and select
Settings, Date and Time. The current date and time is then printed. Enter the correct date and
time in the format shown in the printed example. Use the p- key as a separator. Finish by
pressing the t-key. The new date and time setting is printed.

Confirm by pressing the t-key or revert to the previous setting by pressing the s-key.

Fax number - m bc

You can also personalise your Possio PM80 by entering your own fax number. This informa­tion is included in the identity line at the top of each transmitted page. It is automatically
inserted on your transmitted or copied pages.

17

Fax resolution - m bd

Fax transmissions can take place at two levels of resolution, Standard or Fine. It is always the
sending fax that determines the resolution. For normal text documents Standard resolution is
quite sufficient. Fine resolution can be selected for documents containing fine details. The
PM80 default setting is Standard resolution.

To set fax resolution, enter the Main Menu by pressing the m-key and select Settings and then
Fax resolution. The current fax resolution is now printed. Select Standard or Fine.

Note: Fine resolution necessarily takes up more memory space and also takes longer to scan in and transmit.

Fax ECM – Error Correction Mode - m be.

This feature is not implemented in all modems or by all Operator Networks. You are advised to
check with your modem manufacturer and Network Operator whether they support this serv­ice. You can also find information about your modem and handset at our Internet support site,

www.possio.com

PM80 can activate an error correction mode (ECM) for sending and receiving faxes. This may
cause transmission to take a little longer.

To activate ECM enter the Main Menu by pressing mand then be.

Infrared function - m bf

Please refer to the section: Infrared function.

Power down time-out - m bg

The PM80 uses a sleep (stand-by) mode to extend the battery life. Since PC cards and modems
draw battery power they are disconnected in sleep mode.

18

The default power down time is 20 minutes of inactivity. To wake the PM80 from sleep mode,
press any key for a minimum of 5 seconds.

THE PM80 CANNOT SEND NOR RECEIVE FAXES WHEN IN SLEEP MODE.

The battery has enough capacity to support most PC cards or modems for up to 9 hours.

The time before the PM80 enters power-saving mode can be changed. To set the time, enter
the Main Menu by pressing the m-key and select Settings, Power Down Time-out.

19

Infrared function - m bf

The PM80 can be used as a printer with the Nokia Communicator or any computer equipped
with IrDA and Windows 95/98 Operating System.

The infrared communication port is located on the left hand side of the PM80, next to the
charger connector.

Cellular phones with built-in modem and an infrared port can also communicate with the
PM80 (using IrDA), if compatible. In this case a PC card and cable are not necessary in order
to transmit and receive faxes.

When using the infrared port, make sure the distance between the PM80 and the phone or
computer is short (max. 30 cm) and free of obstacles. Also try to avoid strong lamps and bright
sunlight. When both devices are activated and in contact, the k-indicator lights up. When
the PM80 is searching for an infrared connection the k-indicator blinks.

Printer for Nokia Communicator

To activate the PM80 as a printing device for the Nokia Communicator, select the Main Menu
with the m-key, and then Settings, Infrared function, and finally the option for the Nokia
Communicator.

Printer for Windows 95/98

From the Possio Web site www.possio.com you can download a printer driver for Windows
95/98. Install the driver following the instructions in the included read-me file and the instruc­tions for installing a new printer in Windows.

You must also activate your computers infrared port according to the instructions by your

The Ericsson GC25 requires a different lower plastic casing for the PM80 in order to accom­modate the Ericsson GC25 card. The lower casing can be purchased from your distributor.

PIN code

If the security PIN code is activated on the SIM card when inserted, the PM80 will ask you for
a four-digit code. Enter your code followed by t.

Using quick/speed dialling numbers

The PM80 can use fax numbers stored as phonebook entries 1–9 on the SIM card. Use a
cellular telephone to program the entries on the SIM card. The PM80 cannot store or move
these entries.

To use a quick dial number, press the number b to j of the required phonebook entry. Keep
the number depressed until o and q light up.

You can also dial the number by selecting b to j and pressing t to activate a fax call.

Collecting faxes from mailbox

Example:

The sequence you normally use for collecting any received faxes from your mailbox can be
stored on your SIM Card. For example, it could be entered on your handset as:

134y0611 (where 134 is the number of your fax mailbox, y06 indicates a pause of six sec­onds, 1 means print fax, and 1 means print fax to your GSM fax number).

22

Check with your network operator for the correct sequence for your own subscription.

Note: The sequence should be stored as one of the phonebook entries 1–9 on the SIM card and can then be

accessed with keys b-j on the PM80. For example, if your sequence is stored as entry 1, press the b key
for at least two seconds to start the sequence. The sequence will stop automatically when completed.

SMS messages stored on your SIM card (or received when not connected to the PM80) can be
printed by pressing m cc.

32

Troubleshooting - r e

If you are experiencing problems with your PM80, please be sure to follow this checklist for
troubleshooting before contacting your support centre.

1 Check with your Network Operator that you have a fax number activated.

2 Make sure that you have sufficient signal strength and that you are within GSM range.

3 Check if the battery charge level in the Event log (m cb) is more than 20%.

4 See the Possio Internet support site www.possio.com for a list of compatible modems

and cellular phones.

5 Make sure that the PC card or IR modem is properly connected.

6 Check the software version of the PM80 and the modem in the Event log. Restart your

PM80 with the modem connected to it and look for the modem response on the line
above Modem command: ‘AT+FREV?’. Check with the compatibility list at the Possio
Internet support site if the software is compatible. If not, contact your local dealer or
distributor for a software update.

7 If possible, try using different types of mobile phones, modems, Network Operators and

PM80s. This may help to isolate and locate the error in a communication problem.

General network commands

Transmission and reception of faxes with your PM80 requires a SIM card with fax service
activated. Your Operator will provide you with a separate fax number.

Network fax services

A separate fax number
— your “Personal Number” and your “Personal Fax Number”

In cellular telephone networks calls can be of different types. The most common type is the
ordinary voice call. Another type is the fax call. The cellular telephone operators will typically
provide you with two numbers for your incoming calls: The voice call number which is used
for all ordinary voice calls, sometimes referred to as your “Personal number”, and the cellular
fax number which is used for incoming fax calls. The latter can be referred to as your “Per­sonal fax number”.

Call forwarding services

As a cellular telephone is not always switched on, or within service of the networks, the
network services will store and forward messages.

The telephone can be busy, and you may be unable to answer. Most digital cellular operators
have additional services for storing and forwarding fax messages, integrated with their voice
mail services. The routines for fax services may differ between operators.

Retrieval of stored fax messages

Follow the instructions of your cellular operator, how to access and set your cellular tel­ephone message services and how to operate them.

36

Conditional forwarding of fax calls

Incoming calls can be conditionally forwarded to another number. An incoming call can be
forwarded when the called number is “Not answering”, “Not within service (or switched off)”,
or “Number busy”.

In the case an incoming fax call cannot be established, for any of the above reasons, the fax
message can be forwarded to the operator’s fax mail service in the network for intermediate
storage. You can then retrieve the fax message later, just like a voice message.

Check if the call forwarding “Not answering” is activated by dialling the generic command on
your cellular telephone: ] # 61 # followed by the Send-key. The telephone display will show
the current forwarding status for all different call types.

Similarly the commands to check if the call forwarding is activated for “Not within service (or
switched off)” or “Number busy” are: ] # 62 # and ] # 67 # respectively, followed by the Send­key.

To activate the fax call forwarding

Forwarding of fax calls are activated on your cellular telephone by dialling the generic com­mands. They are:

yy 61 y fax number y 13 # followed by the Send-key for “Not answering”,

yy 62 y fax number y 13 # followed by the Send-key for “Not within service (or switched off)”,

yy 67 y fax number y 13 # followed by the Send-key for “Number busy”.

Note: “Fax number” means the number on which your fax messages can be stored.

37

To deactivate the fax call forwarding

Deactivation of the fax call forwarding is done by the generic commands,

## 61 y 13 # followed by the Send-key for “Not answering”,

## 62 y 13 # followed by the Send-key for “Not within service (or switched off)”, and

## 67 y 13 # followed by the Send-key for “Number busy”.

Note: Some Cellular Network operators unconditionally forward all fax messages, at all times, to their fax mail

services. Within these networks fax call forwarding might function differently.
