THE PARTS OF THE MACHINE
Take the following points into consideration when selecting a site for your FO-130:
ENVIRONMENT
The machine must be installed on a level surface.
Keep the machine away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust.
Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the machine. In particular, keep
the area in front of the machine clear, or the original document may jam as it comes
out after scanning.
The temperature should be between 5” and 35°C.
The humidity should be between 30% and 85% (without condensation).
ELECTRICITY
A 240 V, 50 Hz, grounded (3-prong) AC outlet is required.
J# Note:
l If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you
install a surge protector for the power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at
most telephone specialty stores.
TELEPHONE JACK
A standard telephone wall jack must be located near the machine.
INSTALLATION

Take the machine out of the box carefully, and remove all packing material. Make sure you have
all the items listed below. If any are missing, contact your dealer.

l In addition to the above items, you should have an F080TP adaptor (fin line cord). This is supplied
separately by your dealer.
2-2 INSTALLATION
Assembly and Connections
1. Insert one end of the handset cord into the jack at
the base of the handset, and the other end into the
jack on the left side of the machine. The ends are
identical, so they will go into either jack. Place the
handset on the handset rest.
2. Plug the F080TP adaptor into the telephone jack
on the wail. Insert the small modular plug which
terminates the adaptor line cord into the jack on
the back of the machine marked TEL. LINE.
3. Adjust the switches on the left side of the machine:
l DIAL: This switch sets the mode of dial-
ing. Select T if you are on a touch-tone
line, or P if you are on a dial pulse (rotary)
line.
Note: If this setting is incorrect, you will
not be able to make a call.
l SPEAKER VOLUME: Adjust the setting
from high (H) to low (L) as desired.
l RINGING VOLUME: Set the switch at
high (H), medium (M), or low (L) as
desired.

About the original
Your FO-130 can transmit most standard office documents. Specific guidelines are as follows:
SIZE AND WEIGHT
The size and weight of documents which you can load in the document feeder depends on whether
you load one sheet at a time or several sheets at once.
1) When you load several sheets at once:
Width:
148 to 216 mm
Length: 128 to 197 mm
Thickness:
Weight:
0.06 to 0.12 mm
52 to 104 g/m’
2) When you load one sheet at a time:
Width:
Length:
Thickness:
Weight:
148 to 216 mm
128 to 1000 mm
0.06 to 0.20 mm
52 to 157 g/m’
)j Note:
l To send documents smaller than the minimum size. use the document carrier as described in “Using
the document carrier” which follows in this section.
OTHER RESTRICTIONS
l Documents written in yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink cannot be trans-
mitted.
l Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before they are trans-
mitted.
l All clips, staples, and pins must be removed from documents before transmission.
If these are not removed, they may damage the machine.
l Patched or taped documents should be copied on a copy machine, and the copy
used for transmission.
BASIC OPERATIONS
3-1
PREPARING TO TRANSMIT A DOCUMENT
Readable length and width
The area of the document which is read (scanned) by the machine is slightly smaller than the actual
document size. Any characters or graphics outside this area will not be transmitted.
Readable width: 210mm
Readable length:
The length of the sheet minus 4 mm from both the top and bottom edges.
Using the document carrier
The document carrier must be used for the following types of documents:
Documents which are torn.
Documents smaller than the minimum size (see the preceding page).
Carbon-backed documents (insert a sheet of white paper between the carbon back
of the document and the document carrier).
Documents which are easily smudged.
Use the document carrier according to the instructions on the back.
)) Note:
l If the document carrier is dirty, clean it with a soji cloth moistened M’ith water. Make sure it has
dried completely before using it for transmission.

PREPARING TO TRANSMIT A DOCUMENT
Loading the document
Up to 10 sheets can be placed in the feeder at one time (see “About the original” at the beginning
of this section for allowed sizes). These will be automatically fed into the machine starting from the
sheet on the bottom.
l If you need to send or copy more than 10 sheets, place the additional sheets gently
and carefully in the feeder as the last sheet is being scanned. Do not try to force
them in, as this may cause double-feeding or jamming.
l If your document consists of several thick sheets which must be loaded one at a
time, insert each sheet into the machine as the previous sheet is being scanned.
Insert gently to prevent double-feeding.
PROCEDURE
1.
Adjust the document guide to the width of your
document.
2.
Place the document face down and push it gently
into the document feeder. The top edge of the
document should enter the machine first.
l The feeder will draw the leading edge of
the document into the machine. The dis-
play, which normally reads STAND-BY,
will change to SEND READY.
3.
You can now either make resolution and/or contrast settings as described on the following page,
or dial the other party as described in the following
section, “Dialing and transmission”.
BASIC OPERATIONS

PREPARING TO TRANSMIT A DOCUMENT
Resolution and contrast
If you want, you can adjust the resolution and contrast before sending a document.
RESOLUTION
The FO-130 has 3 resolution settings:
STANDARD:
FINE:
HALF TONE: Use HALF TONE for photographs and illustrations. The original will be
If you do not make a setting, the machine will automatically send the document in STANDARD (the
default setting can be changed to FINE by adjusting User Switch 1 - see “User switches” in Chapter
5).
)) Note:
l In order to transmit with FINE resolution, the receiving far machine must also have that resolution.
Use STANDARD for ordinary documents. This setting gives you the fastest
and most economical transmission.
Use FINE for improved reproduction, especially with documents containing
small letters or fine drawings.
reproduced in 16 shades of gray.
If it doesn’t, your machine will automatically step down to STANDARD.
CONTRAST
The contrast is normally set to AUTO, which means that the machine automatically controls the
contrast, but for very light documents you can change the setting to DARK.

2. Continue by dialing the number of the other party
using one of the dialing methods described in the
following section.
BASIC OPERATIONS
3-5
Once you have loaded the document and made resolution and/or contrast settings as described
in the previous section, you are ready to dial the number of the receiving fax machine and transmit
the document. There are several ways of dialing, and you may select the one which best suits your
needs.
Normal Dialing
The most basic way of dialing is by Normal Dialing, which is just like dialing with a telephone.
1. Pick up the handset, listen for the dial tone, and
dial the number of the receiving machine with the ~
numeric keys.
l If you don’t want to pick up the handset
until the connection is made, press the
SPEAKER key first and then dial.
2. Wait for the connection. Depending on the setting
of the receiving machine, you will either hear a
facsimile Reception Tone or the other person will
answer.
l If the other person answers, ask them to
press their Start key. This causes the
receiving machine to issue a Reception
Tone.
3. When you hear the Reception Tone, press the
START/COPY key and replace the handset.
