Connection to party-line service is subject to state tariffs.

Telephone Company Procedures

The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best
service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary
for it to make changes in its equipment, operation, or procedures. If
these changes affect your service or the operation of the equipment,
the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow
you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterru p t e d
service.

If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how
many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone
company will provide this information upon request.

In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone
company to request information from you concerning the
equipment which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon
request of the telephone company, provide the FCC r e g i s t r a t i o n
number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the
equipment which is connected your line; both of these items are
listed on the equipment label and in the Service information
chapter of this guide. The sum of all of the RENs on your telephone
line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from
the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be
usable on a given line.

About interference

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable pro t e c t i o n
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
i n t e r f e rence to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the
separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful
for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send
any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message
clearly contains in a margin at the top or transmission, the date and
time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity,
or other individual sending the message and the telephone number
of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or
individual.

In order to program this information into your fax machine, you
should complete the following steps on page 2-5.

If a Problem Arises

If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you
should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may
cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company
notes a problem, it may temporarily discontinue service. When
practical, the telephone company will notify you in advance of the
disconnection. If advance note is not feasible, you will be notified
as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the
opportunity to correct the problem and informed of you right to
file a complaint with the FCC.

Hearing Aid Compatible

The telephone handset attached to the facsimile is hearing aid
compatible.

L i g h t n i n g

Your unit has built-in protection circuits, which meet or exceed
FCC re q u i rements, to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line currents. However, lightning striking near or on
these lines can cause an excessive surge of voltage that can damage
the phone.

Lightning damage is uncommon. However, if you are concerned
about it or live in an area with frequent and/or severe electrical
storms, we suggest that you unplug your electronic equipment
during the storms.

not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to
certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical
g round connections of power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

SETTING RESOLUTION AND

CONTRAST OF DOCUMENTS

You can adjust the resolution and/or contrast to send a high­quality transmission of documents with unusual contrast

characteristics, including photographs. The higher the re s o l u t i o n ,

the longer it takes to send, but the results will look better at the

receiving end.

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

You can choose from the following resolution settings:

• FINE : Documents containing small characters or lines, or print

from a dot-matrix printer.

• SUPER FINE : Documents containing very detailed print, or

documents with intricate drawing.

The contrast control on your fax machine lets you add half-tone

shading for sending photographs or documents printed in color.

The following contrast settings are available:

• LIGHT : Documents with light or faint print or with pencil

• PHOTO : Photographs or other documents containing many

levels of gray or colored areas.

• HSP (High-Speed Photo) : If you want to send a photograph or

other documents containing a photograph at a higher speed
(than in a PHOTO mode), you can use this mode to reduce cost.

To select the desired resolution, press R E S O L U T I O N so that the
corresponding mode indicator will be lit.

To select the desired contrast, press C O N T R A S T so that the

corresponding mode indicator will be lit.

To select the HSP mode, press C O N T R A S T so that the P H O T O

indicator will flicker.

To find out which resolution and contrast settings are best for your
document, use your fax machine to make a copy with whatever
setting you like. The copy will show how your document would

appear at the receiving end.

your fax machine.

When a call is received, the answering machine answers and plays
the outgoing message recorded on the answering machine.

If a fax tone or a certain time period of silence is detected on the

line by your fax machine-the call automatically switches over to the
fax machine and reception begins, overriding the answering
machine’s announcement.

If someone wants to speak with you - your fax machine ignores the
call. The caller can leave a voice message on the answering
machine.

Notes:

• If you have trouble receiving faxes in the ANS/FAX mode, change the
silence detection time mode as described in “Setting System Data” in
chapter 2. This feature in the user options will ensure fax re c e p t i o n
when a fax tone is not detected on the line by your fax machine.

• If the answering machine does not answer within several rings for such
reasons as the recording message is full on the tape or the answering
machine is switched off, your fax machine automatically receives the
document. If the answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter,
set the machine to answer an incoming call within 4 rings.

• When you are using the manual receiving mode and an answering
machine is installed, be sure to switch off the answering machine,
otherwise the OGM from the answering machine might disrupt your
telephone conversation.

• Set your answering machine to VOX mode (if applicable). VOX stands
for “Voice Operated” which allows disconnection when a period of

RELAY TRANSMISSION REQUEST

(SENDING THROUGH A RELAY STATION)

Relay transmission is a powerful function that takes advantage of
the remote “hub” fax machine’s memory to reduce your total
equipment and communication costs.

The relay transmission concept is shown below. Suppose Operator
1 in Los Angles wishes to send a batch of documents to facsimiles 2
t h rough 5 in Chicago. Of course, Operator 1 could send the
documents to each of the other destinations individually, as
indicated by the dashed lines in the figure. The transmission cost
would then be the cost of the Los Angelesto-Chicago transmission
times four.

Now suppose that one of the facsimiles in Chicago is a fax machine
which can serve as the “hub” in a relay system. Using r e l a y
transmission request, a machine the fax machine at Los Angeles
can call the remote “hub” in Chicago and instruct it to relay the
documents to the other facsimiles in the Chicago area.

The transmission cost now would be the cost of one Los Angeles­to-Chicago transmission plus the local charges in Chicago, a
significantly lower cost. Furthermore, this is done automatically,
without any intervention by an operator of “hub” machine in
Chicago. When the transaction is complete, Operator 1 will receive
a report from the “hub” indicating which relay stations were
contacted and which were not.

If your fax machine is SF5500/SF5500M, it cannot be a relay “hub”,
but you can send documents to a remote fax machine that is able to
operate as a relay “hub”. If your machine is SF5600, it is capable of
acting as a relay “hub” as well as sending your document through a
relay “hub”, such as another SF5600.
B e f o re sending through a relay unit, the Group number that
contains the end “destinations” (i.e. the fax machines that will

Polling is when one fax machine requests another fax machine to send a
document.

This feature is useful when the party will the party with the
original document is not in the office but the document must be
sent out. Instead, another party who wants to receive the document
dials the fax machine holding the document and requests that it be
sent. In other words, it “polls” the remote fax machine with the
document.

The party with the original document must make sure that it is
properly fed into their fax machine so that the other party can poll.

Note: You can use a poll code to prevent unauthorized polling of your fax
machine. When you secure your fax machine in this manner, only those
who know the poll code can poll your fax machine. Note, however, that
only another SF5500/SF5500M/SF5600 can recognize the poll code. If you
want to allow your fax machine to be polled by any other fax machine,
regardless of its brand or manufacturer, do not secure your fax machine
with a poll code.
