Important safety information

Always be careful when using the machine. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and other injuries, keep these safety considerations in mind when installing, using,
and maintaining your machine:

•

Stability. Place the machine on a secure, stable surface. The machine can be seriously
damaged if it falls.

•

Power supply. Provide correct power to the machine, as listed on the back of the
machine. If you are not sure of the type of power that is supplied to your home or
office, call your electric company.

•

Grounding. If the plug has three prongs, it must be plugged into a grounded (three
hole) outlet. Grounded plugs and outlets are designed for your safety – do not try to
make a three-prong plug fit into a two-prong outlet by modifying the plug or outlet in
any way. If you cannot insert the plug into your wall outlet easily, the outlet should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.

•

Overload. Do not plug too many electrical devices into a wall outlet or an extension
cord. An overloaded outlet is a fire and electrical shock hazard.

•

Cleaning. Before cleaning the machine, unplug it from both the power outlet and the
telephone jack. Clean exposed parts with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water.
Do not use aerosol cleaners.

•

Thunderstorms. Unplug electrical appliances during thunderstorms. Avoid using any
telephone (except a cordless model) during a thunderstorm, since there is a small
chance you could get an electrical shock from lightning.

•

Gas leaks. Never use any telephone close to a gas leak. If you think gas is leaking, call
the gas company immediately, but use a telephone that is far away from the leakage
area. A small electrical spark in the telephone could cause a fire or explosion.

•

Ozone. This product produces ozone during normal operation. The ozone produced is
dependent on copy volume and is heavier than air. If your machine is installed as speci­fied in the installation procedures, ozone output levels meet safe limits.

v

Precautions

When using your machine, these precautions should always be followed.

1. Never push objects of any kind into your machine through the case or cabinet
openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk fire or shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.

2. Slots and openings in the back and sides of your machine’s cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure a reliable operation of the machine and to protect it from over­heating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. Your machine should never be
placed on, near, or over a radiator, heater, air conditioner, or ventilation duct.

3. Do not use your machine near water, in wet locations, or outdoors.

4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, line cord, or PC interface cable.
Do not locate your fax machine where the cords will be damaged by persons walking
on them.

5. Do not allow pets to chew on the power cord, line cord, or PC interface cable.

6. Do not put your hands into the fuser area. The fuser is extremely hot and severe
burns can result from the contact. Do not put your hands into the scanner motor,
scanner bracket and scanner motor cover, either.

7. Always use materials specially designed for your machine. Use of other materials may
result in poor performance and could create a hazardous situation.

8. Use supplies or cleaning materials only as directed. Keep all supplies and materials out
of the way of children.

9. The power supply turns this machine on and off. Make sure that your machine is
installed near an outlet and is easily accessible.

10. Your machine is equipped with an energy saving device to conserve power when the

machine is not in use. The machine may be left on continuously.

11. Never remove covers or guards that require a tool for removal. There are no

operator serviceable areas inside your machine. Refer servicing to authourized service
personnel.

12. Never defeat interlock switches. This machine is designed to restrict operator access to

unsafe areas. Covers, guards and interlock switches are provided to ensure that the
machine will not operate with covers opened.

13. Use of an extension cord with this machine is not recommended or authorized.

14. Avoid direct viewing of the document lights. The lamps are bright and, while not

harmful, they may cause an annoying afterimage. Always keep the document cover
closed during operation and storage.

15. Avoid exposing the toner cartridge to light for extended periods of time.

16. Do not touch the green photoreceptor. Scratches or smudges that appear on the

photoreceptor will result in poor copy quality and may shorten the service life.

17. This equipment is not designed for making telephone calls when the power fails.

Alternative equipment should be made available for access to emergency services.

Paper guide

3. Insert the paper with the print side facing you.

Place the print side
facing you.

Paper type and size

Satisfactory print and receive quality can be obtained with many types of
plain paper. Since the quality of plain paper varies widely, test the print
quality before buying large quantities of paper. Your machine uses a
variety of papers including:

• Xerographic paper

• Bond paper

• Dual-purpose paper

Because all papers vary in physical characteristics, you can receive mixed
results from different packages of paper even through the packages
contain the same paper. If you encounter undesirable results, try the other
side of the paper, a different type, or another package of the same kind of
paper.

DO NOT use the following types of paper with your machine:

• Continuous form feed paper

• Synthetic paper

• Thermal paper

• Multi-sheet forms and documents

• Chemically treated paper

• Papers with raised, embossed lettering

To load paper with a preferred print side:

• If you are using xerographic paper, load the paper with the preferred
print side facing down.

• If you are using letterhead or bond paper, load the paper with the
preferred side facing up.

The following papers can be used in your machine for fax:

• Letter : 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11.0 in.) - 60 g/m

2

~ 90 g/m2 (16 ~ 24 lb)

• A4 : 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 in.) - 60 g/m

Preparing documents for faxing or copying

You can use the machine to fax or copy documents that are printed on
standard letter or A4 size paper. Follow these guidelines to prepare your
documents.

• Do not attempt to feed the following types of documents into the
machine: - wrinkled, curled, or folded paper

- chemically processed paper (pressure-sensitive paper,
carbon-coated paper, etc.)

- coated paper (glossy, etc.)

- too thin (onion skin, airmail paper, etc.)

- too thick paper

- too small or short paper (such as a label, voucher, etc.)

- the paper which is made of cloth or metal

Instead, make copies using a standard copy machine and insert the
copies into the document tray.

• Remove all staples, paper clips and the like before feeding the docu­ment.

• Make sure any glue, ink or correction fluid on the paper is completely
dry before feeding the document.

• Do not feed documents with pages that are different sizes or of different
thicknesses.

Basic operation

Setting document resolution and contrast

We recommend sending documents printed using a typewriter, felt tip pen,
black ink or laserwriter. The paper should be white or very light, and of
normal weight – not cardboard. Blue lines on a ruled pad do not fax well.

When you send normal documents, you need not adjust the resolution and
the contrast.

If you send documents with unusual contrast characteristics, including
photographs, you can adjust the resolution and contrast to send a high­quality transmission of the documents.

Resolution

Press the Resolution button to increase sharpness and clarity. By press­ing the

Resolution button repeatedly after loading a document, you can

choose between

STANDARD, FINE or SUPER FINE mode.

STANDARD works well for documents with normal sized characters.

FINE is good for documents containing small characters or thin lines, or

print from a dot-matrix printer.

SUPER FINE works well for documents containing extremely fine details
SUPER FINE works only if the remote machine also has the SUPER FINE
featres.

Contrast

Press the Rcv. Mode/Contrast button to compensate for the brightness or
darkness of your outgoing document.

By pressing the Rcv.

Mode/Contrast

button repeatedly after loading a document, you can

choose between

NORMAL, DARKEN, LIGHTEN or PHOTO.

NORMAL works well for normal documents.

DARKEN works well for light print or faint pencil markings. The light

image and text on the document will be darker on the printed page.

LIGHTEN works well for dark print. The dark image and text on the doc­ument will be lighter on the printed page.

PHOTO is used when faxing photographs or other documents containing
colour or shades of gray. Although your machine will not transmit colour,
it will print and send up to 64 shades of gray. When you choose this
mode, you should set the resolution to

FINE.

3.3

Basic operation

Loading document

1. Turn the page face down.

2. Adjust the document guides to match the width of the document.

3. Slide the sheet down into the document feeder until it is gripped by

Receiving a fax

Receiving modes

Your machine has four receiving modes:

• In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately
goes into receive mode, waiting for a fax to be sent.

• In

AUTO mode, the machine answers an incoming call expecting to
receive a fax. If the machine does not sense a fax signal, it will
continue to sound the ringing tone to tell you it is a phone call. If you
do not lift the handset during the ringing, the machine will switch to
automatic fax receiving mode.

• In

ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine answers an incoming call,
and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If the
fax machine senses a fax tone on the line, the call automatically
switches over to the fax machine. To use the ANS/FAX mode, you
have to attach an answering machine to the extension telephone jack
on your fax machine (see page 1.5).

• In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive
a fax only by picking up the handset and pressing Start/Enter.

The current receiving mode is displayed when the machine is in Standby
mode.

If you seldom use the fax line for voice conversations, set the fax machine
to receive a fax automatically by selecting FAX mode.
