Thank you for purchasing this product. This multi-function office machine offers a wide range of fax, copier, printer, and convenience features.
What Does a Fax Machine Do?
When you write a letter, you normally seal it in an envelope, attach a stamp, and post it in the nearest mail box. Then, in a few days, depending on the postal service, the letter will arrive at its destination. However, you may not be aware of its arrival until you get a return letter.
A fax machine speeds up this process. After you have written your letter, place it in your fax machine’s document feeder or on the exposure glass, dial the destination’s fax number, then press the Start key.
The fax machine scans your letter, and converts it into a series of black and white dots (the number of dots that there are across and down the page depends on the resolution that you selected; refer to the specifications section of this manual for details). This series of dots is transformed into an electrical signal and sent out over the telephone line to the destination fax machine.
The receiving fax machine reconstructs your letter from the incoming signal, and prints it.
If you are worried about whether the message arrived at the destination, you can check a report called the TCR (Transaction Confirmation Report). When you print this report, you will see the results of the most recent fax communications made by your machine.
You can use your fax machine to send and receive many types of documents, even photographs.
Telephone Line Problems Affect Fax Communication
Quick and accurate transmission of fax messages depends on the condition of the telephone line. If the line condition is very good, this machine will transmit a letter-size page in about 9 seconds. However, if the line is noisy, the speed
may be reduced significantly, and the data may be damaged.
...
Vlll
The symptoms of data loss caused by a noisy telephone line are seen on the printouts of received messages. An example is shown opposite. Note that lines are missing from the page at the indicated locations. ECM (Error Correction Mode) is an effective countermeasure against this type of error; you have the choice of having
Errors
the ECM feature switched on or off. It is switched on before the machine leaves the factory. (Refer to page 62 for more
information about ECM).
The line condition is affected by the Document weather; thunderstorms can cause electrical noise on telephone lines.
In addition, the quality and condition of

Memory Transmission and Immediate Transmission

There are two ways to send a fax message.
Immediate Transmission
~
~ Memory Transmission
Immediate Transmission
Immediate Transmission is convenient when:
~ You wish to send a message immediately ~ You wish to quickly check whether you have successfully connected with the
other party
~ Your machine’s memory is getting full The machine dials immediately after you press Start (or at the specified later
time, if you used a time-delay feature like Send Later). The message is scanned and transmitted page by page without being stored in memory.
Memory Transmission
Memory Transmission is convenient because:
Fax messages can be scanned much more quickly (you can take your
~
document away from the fax machine without waiting too long).
~ While your fax message is being sent, another user can operate the machine
(people will not have to wait by the fax machine too long).
~ You can send the same message to more than one place with the same
operation.
After you press Start, the machine doesn’t dial until all the pages of your fax
message have been stored in the memory.
The default mode of this machine is Memory Transmission, so the procedures
described in this manual will be based on the assumption that you are using Memory Transmission. Immediate Transmission is described in a separate section.

Faxing a Page With Very Fine Detail

If you wish to fax a message which must arrive as clearly as possible, adjust
the resolution (for documents with fine detail) and the contrast (for documents
printed on a dark background or in faint ink). You can also set the imaging process for sending photographs.
You can select different settings for each page of your message. Simply change the settings for page 2 while page 1 is being scanned.
Resolution & Shading
If your document contains fine print, detailed diagrams, or photographs, use a higher resolution setting. There are three settings for general documents.
Standard:
Detail: Use for documents with small print or fine details. Fine: Use this for high quality reproduction.
There is also an independent photo setting suitable for photographs or
diagrams with complex shading patterns or grays.

Using this feature, you can instruct the machine to delay transmission of your fax message until a specified time. This allows you to take advantage of off-peak telephone line charges without having to be by the machine at the time.
CAUTION: If your machine’s memory is full, you will have to send the mes-
sage from the document feeder. This means that anybody remov­ing your document would automatically cancel the operation.
Proceed as for a usual fax message but don’t press Start.

O~tional Feature for Transmission
Page Count (Immediate Transmission only)
When your fax message is printed at the other end, page numbers will be printed on the top of each page. Using the Page Count feature, you can select the format in which the page numbers are printed.
[f you use Page Count:
Page numbers will be printed in batch-numbering format (for example, pi/3, p2/3, and p3/3 for a three-page message). This makes it easy for the other party to see how many pages you sent, and if any are missing. However, you
have to input the number of pages at the keypad before sending.
If you do not use Page Count:
Page numbers will be printed only as a sequence (for example, pl, p2, p3). This makes it difficult for the other party to tell at a glance whether any pages are missing (for example, due to a double feed in your machine’s document feeder).
Note:lf you do not select Immediate Transmission, Page Count is automat-
ically switched on, and the pages are counted automatically.
