WARNING:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the li mits for a Cl ass A digital dev ice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipmen t in a residential area is likel y to cause harmfu l interfer ence in wh ich case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

CAUTION

Use of control or adjustments or perfomance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Shielded interconnect cables must be employed with this equipment to ensure compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing this device.

Operator Safety

This equipment is considered a CDRH Class 1 laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The machine contains a 5-milliwatt, 760 to 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been desi gned to pre vent any pos sible la ser beam exposur e to the oper ator.

Laser Safety

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be rep aired in a factor y or at a locati on with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis in not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems t o the factory or se rvice depot when replacement of the optical su bsyste m is require d.

In accordance with ISO 7001, this machine uses the following sym bols f or the main s witch: s means POWER ON

CAUTION

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this product. This multi-function office machine offers a wide range of fax, printer, and convenience features (Some of these features are optional).

WHAT DOES A FAX MACHINE DO?

When you write a letter, y ou 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 Journal. When you print this report, you will see the results of the most recent fax communications made by your machine.

INTRODUCTION

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 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 96 for more information about ECM).

The line condition is affected by the weather; thunderstorms can cause electrical noise on telephone lines. In addition, the quality and condition of switching equipment used by your phone company can affect fax communication.

Transmission Procedure at a Glance

Overview

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 quickly wish to check whether you have successfully connected with the

other party.

❐ Your machine’s memory is getting full. The machine dials immedi at el y af te r y o u pr e ss Sta rt (or at the specified l at er ti me,

if you used a ti m e -de l ay feature lik e Se nd La te r ). The message is scanned an d transmitt ed pag e by page without bein g sto r ed in me mory.

ROUTINE OPERATION SENDING A FAX MESSAGE

Memory Transmission

Memory Transmission i s 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 does n’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 .

Cross-reference

Sending at a Specific Time (Send Later): see page 28.

Parallel Memory Transmission

With this feature the machine can call destinations while scanning documents. Compared with normal Memory Transmission where the machine calls once all the documents have been stored, it is quick to verify whether a co nnection has been made or not.

Additionally, as scanning finishes more quickly than Immediate Transmission, it is useful if you want to take the document back to your desk immediately. However, if the connection cannot be made (for example if the line is busy), normal Memory Transmission tak es p lace .

ROUTINE

OPERATION

Note: If the amount of available memory is less than 50%, you cannot use Paral-

lel Memory Transmission.

SENDING A FAX MESSAGE ROUTINE OPERATION

Normal Memory Transmission still takes place when using the following:

❐ Send Later ❐ Transfer Request ❐ Store Double Sided ❐ Specify Multiple Destinations ❐ Specified Image Area

The file is erased if any of the following happen during transmission:

❐ The Stop key is pressed. ❐ A document becomes jammed. ❐ There is not enough memory available.

After a parallel Transmission fails, a communication result report is printed. When using Parallel Transmission, page numbers are not printed at the other end.

If you w an t pa ge n um b er s printed, use Pa ge Co un t of t he opt ion al feature for transmission (se e pa ge 29).

Sending to Just One Location

1. Make sure that the machine is in standby mode: The display on the operation panel must be as shown on the right.

2. Carefully place your fax message face down into the auto document feeder. Note: You can dial without placing the message in the feeder first. Place the document after you dial the number and go to step 4.

❐ The pages must be placed face down in

the feeder, with the first page at the bottom of the stack.

❐ Feed the pages in so that the top edge

goes in first.
