FUNCTION LIST

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this product. This multi-function office machine offers a
wide range of fax, 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 face down in your
fax machine’s document feeder, 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 document, 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 6 seconds. However, if the line is noisy, the speed
may be reduced significantly, and the data may be
damaged.

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 the ECM
feature switched on or off. It is switched on before the
machine leaves the factory. (Refer to page 123 for more
information about ECM).

The line condition is affected by the weather;
thunderstorms can cause electrical noise on telephone lines.
In addition, the operation of the equipment in the
telephone company’s control office can also cause noise
on the line.

HOW TO USE

THIS MANUAL

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

CONVENTIONS

The following conventions were used when writing this manual.

Keynames

These have been printed in a different typeface and enclosed by a box.
For example: " Start " means "Press the Start key on the operation panel".
If you see something like " # x 3", this means that you have to press
the # key 3 times.

On the operation panel, there is a circular key with four arrows (up,
down, left, right) printed on it. This is the scroll key. It is often used
in the operating procedures to gain access to various features. For
example, if you see ← in the manual, you are being asked to
press the left-pointing arrow on the scroll key.

Displays

Messages seen on the display are shown in a larger box, normally on the right
hand side of the page, directly opposite the step that brought it up on the screen.
After following a step in a procedure, check the display to see if it corresponds to
the one in the manual. This may help you to check whether you are following the
procedure successfully. The following examples show three common types of
display.

Example A: The keys that can be pressed
are shown on the screen in small boxes. In
this example, you can press the Yes, No, or
Clear keys, or the down arrow on the scroll
key (see the arrow at the top right).

Example B: The choices of settings for a
feature are shown on the screen. The
current setting is highlighted (white on
black). If you press the right-pointing arrow
on the scroll key, the setting will be changed
to OFF.
