INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this product. This multi-function of fice machine offer s 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 ma il 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 mac hine s peeds up this pr oces s. After y ou hav e wr itten your letter, place it in your fax ma chine’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 ma chine 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 r eport, you wi ll see the resul ts of the most re cent fax communications made by your machine.

You can use your fax machine to send and receive many types of documents, even photographs.

viii

Telephone Line Problems Affect Fax Communication

Received Message

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 nois y, the sp eed may be redu ced significantly, and the data may be damaged.

The symptom s of data lo ss caused by a noisy telephone line are seen on the printouts of received messages. An

Document

Transmit

example is shown opposite. Note that lines are missing from t he page at the i ndicated locations. ECM (Error Correction Mode) is an effective countermeasure against this type of error; you have the choice of having the ECM feat ure 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 cond ition is affected by the weathe r; 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.

FAXING Recommended Types of Document

How to Set the Document

Setting the document in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF)

Carefully place the document

face up into the auto document

feeder . Then adjust the guides to

fit the width of the document.

Note:Do not feed in more than 30 pages.

Do not stack documents in the feeder so that they exceed the load limit marker.

Setting the document to the exposure gla ss

Lift up the top cover (make sure

you raise it by at lease 35°, or

halfway) and place the first page

of your document face down on

the exposure glass.

Then lower the top cover.

Memory Tr ansmiss ion and Immediate Transmission FAXING

Me mory Tra nsmission and Imme dia te Tra nsmissio n

There are two ways to send a fax message.

❐ Immediate Transmission ❐ Memory Transmission

Immed iate Transmission

Immediate Transmission is convenient when:

❐ You wish to sen d a me ss age immediatel y ❐ You wish to quick ly check whet he r you have su cces sf ully con ne ct ed with the

other party

❐ Your machin e’ s memory i s gett in g fu ll

The machine dials immediately after you press Start (or at the specified later time, if you us ed a time-delay feature like S end 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 wa it by th e 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 Tr ansmission, so the procedures described in this manual will be based on the assu mption that you are using Memory Transmission. I mmediate Transmission is described in a separate section.

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 dar k 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: Use for most printed or typewritten documents. 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.

high resolution could cause an increase in your phone bill, especially fo r long distance transmissions.
