FO-3800M

At the production line, the output power of
the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.33
MILLI-WATT PLUS 20 PCTS and is
maintained constant by the operation of the
Automatic Power Control (APC).
Even if the APC circuit fails in operation for
some reason, the maximum output power
will only be 15 MILLI-WATT 0.1 MICRO­SEC. giving an acceptable emission level
of 42 MICRO-WATT which is still-less than
the limit of CLASS-1 laser product.

Caution

The fusing unit is hot. Exercise care when inspecting it.
Do not switch the printer rapidly on and off. After turning the printer off,

wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.

Printer power must be turned off before installing any supplies.

6. Setup FAX section

A. Connecting the Telephone Line Cord

Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the machine
marked "LINE."
Plug the other side into a standard (RJ11C) single-line telephone wall
jack. Be sure not to plug this telephone line cord into the "TEL" jack.
The "TEL jack" is used to attach an extension telephone or answering
machine to the machine.

Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power

surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the
power and telephone lines.

LINE

TEL

B. Connecting Other Devices

If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be con­nected to the machine through the telephone jack, labeled TEL, on
the rear of the machine.

• Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to

receive both voice and fax messages when you are out. To use
this feature, first change the outgoing message of your answering
machine, and then set the reception mode of the machine to
"A.M." (Answering Machine mode) when you go out.

Note: If you are using distinctive ringing with an answering machine,

you do not need to follow the procedure described below.
(Please note that when distinctive ringing is used, the answer­ing machine must be distinctive ring compatible.)

The outgoing message of your answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their FAX

START key.
Comments:

1. It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10
seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes
sent by automatic dialing.

2. Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax
message on the same call. Modify your outgoing message to
explain that this can be done by pressing their FAX START key
after leaving their voice message.

FO-3800M

• You can connect an extension phone to the machine to make and

receive calls like any other extension phone on your line. Even if
you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the machine
will automatically cut in and take over the line. Note, however, if
you also have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the
Remote Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive
function.

Note: The Remote Reception function is initially set to "ON".

(1) Using the Machine with an Answering Machine

a. Quiet Detect Time

Quiet Detect Time is the function that enables the machine to be used
along with an answering machine for both phone messages and
faxes. After the answering machine has answered, any duration of
silence longer than a certain threshold time will prompt the machine
to take over the line and prepare to receive a fax. The Quiet Detect
Time can be set from 00 to 10 seconds, following the procedure
below.

Notes:

FUNCTION

• The machine has been set at the factory for a Quiet Detect Time of

5 seconds, which gives the best performance for most answering
machines. However, you may have to adjust the Quiet Detect Time
depending on your answering machines disconnect time, the time
before the machine disconnects the line after a period of silence. If
your machine has a short disconnect time, you may have to short­en the Quiet Detect Time. However, if the machine is interrupting
callers in the middle of messages, you should set a longer Quiet
Detect Time.

• If there is a pause at the end of your answering machine message,

make sure that the Quiet Detect Time is longer than this pause.

• Setting Quiet Detect Time to 00 turns the function off. However,

the machine will not be able to receive faxes sent using manual
dialing (picking up the receiver, dialing the number, and pressing
the FAX START key when the fax tone is heard).

b. If Quiet Detect Time is not working properly...

With some answering machines, there is simply no Quiet Detect
Time that will allow both reception of faxes and uninterrupted voice
messages. Even in this case, however, you can set up the machine to
receive both phone and fax messages from callers on touch-tone
lines. Follow this procedure:

1. Set the Quiet Detect Time to 00.

2. Using the Remote Reception Number (factory set to 5) to start fax
reception, change your answering machine message to include
the following information. "If you want to send a fax press 5 and
then press the ( ) key twice, after you hear the fax tone press
your FAX START key".

c. Answering Machine Backup

There may be times when the tape on your answering machine be­comes full, or when the answering machine itself malfunctions. It is
still possible to receive faxes even under these conditions, however,
by turning on the Auto Receive function. The machine will automat­ically answer all calls after five rings. To use this function, follow the
procedure below.

Factory setting: 2 (OFF)

Note: If you are using Auto Receive, make sure that your answering

machine is set to answer on four rings or less. Otherwise, the
machine will take over all calls, preventing callers from leaving
voice messages.

(2) Setting Up the Machine for Use with a PC Modem

The machine is set to automatically begin reception if you pick up
from an extension telephone and the machine detects a fax tone.
However, if you are using a modem on the same line, you must
deactivate this function: otherwise the machine will mistakenly at­tempt to receive the transmission from your computer. To turn off the
Fax Signal Receive function, follow the procedure below.

Note: If you turn off the Fax Signal Receive function, be sure to

(5) Selection between the ON LINE mode

and the OFF LINE mode

In the ON LINE mode, the ON LINE lamp lights up to show that the
machine is ready for receiving print data from the host.
During copying, the machine is in the OFF line mode and the ON
LINE lamp goes off.
During printing, when copy interruption is made, printing is interrupted
and the ON LINE lamp blinks.
When a certain time passes after completion of copying, the machine
go back to the ON LINE mode and printing is resumed.
In any case, copying takes priority over printing.
The timing to going back to the ON LINE mode after completion of
copying can be set by the user program.
When the clear key is pressed twice, the machine goes into the ON
LINE mode immediately.

(6) Paper width detection and machine

operation

This machine is designed to detect only the following two sizes:
Max. paper size and Min. paper size shown in the table below.
Imaging (main scanning direction void area and image length) is per­formed according to the paper size the machine detects, Therefore, if
the SIM 26-6 set value is not matched with the paper specification,
the image position on the paper is shifted to cause a trouble.

resume operation from the energy save mode. Pressing the start key
allows copy reservation. After making a copy reservation, when the
copier warmup is completed, copy is started.

Once a copy reservation is made, the copy conditions cannot be
canceled unless the clear key is pressed.

(8) AE level adjustment procedure

The automatic exposure level can be adjusted to suit your copying
needs.This level is set for copying from the original table and copying
from the SPF respectively.

1) When adjusting the automatic exposure level for copying from the
SPF, place an original in the document feeder tray and make sure
that the SPF ( ) indicator lights up.
When adjusting the level for copying from the original table, make
sure that no original is left in the document feeder tray.

2) Press the exposure mode selector key to select the photo ( )
mode.

3) Press and hold down the exposure mode selector key for ap­proximately 5 seconds.
The photo ( ) indicator will go out and the AUTO indicator
will begin to blink. One or two exposure indicators corresponding
to the automatic exposure level which has been selected will light
up.

4) Press the light ( ) or dark ( ) key to lighten or darken
the automatic exposure level as desired.
If exposure level 2 is selected, the two left-hand indicators will light
up simultaneously.
Also, if level 4 is selected, the two right-hand indicators will light up
simultaneously.

5) Press the exposure selector key. The AUTO indicator will stop
blinking and light up steadily.

NOTE: This automatic exposure level will remain in effect until you

change it again by this procedure.

(9) Toner save mode setup and cancel

Select MANUAL with the copy mode select key and press and hold
the key again for 5 sec. The mode display will change from MANUAL
to PHOTO blinking, and the currently set condition will be displayed in
the exposure level. Under this state, operate the density adjustment

(Note)

Memory

Your machine has a memory area that can be used to store both
incoming and outgoing originals.

• Approximately 120 pages of average content can be held in

memory for transmission.
Less can be held if any of the pages were scanned using fine or
superfine resolution.

Memory Backup

• The machine uses a lithium-ion battery to keep automatic dialing

numbers and other programmed data in memory when the power
is turned off (when the machine is unplugged). Battery power is
consumed primarily when the power is turned off. With the power
kept continuously off, the life of the battery is about 5 years. If the
battery life expires, have your dealer or retailer replace it. Do not
try to replace it yourself.

Substitute Reception into Memory

This is a back-up function that is automatically activated if your fax
runs out of paper, the TD cartridge needs replacement (See the
copier operation manual.), or the paper jams.

The message "FAX RCVD IN MEMORY" will only appear in the dis­play at the time the original is initially received into memory. After
reception is complete, one of the following messages, "PAPER
OUT(XXX)," "CAN NOT PRINT," or "PAPER JAM" will appear in the
display. When you add paper (and set the paper size), replace the TD
cartridge, or clear the jam, the stored originals will automatically be
printed out.

• If you received originals in memory because the fax ran out of

paper, be sure to add paper which is the same size as the paper
previously used. If not, the original print-out size may not match the
size of the printing paper.

Caution!

• If originals received in memory are lost due to a power failure or

other interruption in the power supply, a POWER FAIL REPORT
will be printed out when the power is restored. This gives available
information about the faxes lost, including the fax numbers of the
transmitting machines.
