4. Cautions on Transmitting Documents

• Documents written in yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink

cannot be transmitted.

• Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before the

documents can be transmitted.

• All clips, staples and pins must be removed from documents be-

fore transmission.

• Patched (taped) documents should be copied first on a copier and

then the copies used for transmission.

• All documents should be fanned before insertion into the feeder to

prevent possible double feeds.

5. Automatic Document Feeder Capacity

Number of pages that can be placed into the feeder at anytime is as follows:

Normal size: max. 50 sheets (14 lbs – 20 lbs) Special size: single sheet only (manual feed)

NOTES: • When you need to send or copy more pages than the

feeder limit, place additional pages in feeder when last page in feeder is being scanned.

• Place additional pages carefully and gently in feeder.

If force is used, double-feeding or a document jam may result.

6. Readable Width & Length

The readable width and length of a document are slightly smaller than the actual document size. Note that characters or graphics outside the effective document scanning range will not be read.

• Readable width

8.3" (208 mm) max.

Readable width

• Readable length

This is the length of the document sent minus 0.16" (4 mm) from the top and bottom edges.

3. Document Types

• Normal paper

Documents handwritten in pencil (No. 2 lead or softer), fountain pen, ball point pen, or felt-tipped pen can be transmitted. Documents of normal contrast duplicated by a copying machine can also be transmitted.

• Diazo copy (blueprint)

Diazo copy documents of a normal contrast may be transmitted.

• Carbon copy

A carbon copy may be transmitted if its contrast is normal.

7. Use of Document Carrier Sheet

A document carrier sheet must be used for the following documents.

• Those with tears.

• Those smaller than size 5.83" (W) × 5.04" (L) (148 mm (W) × 128

mm (L)).

• Carbon-backed documents

Make print straight across paper E.G. Place the document carrier in the document feeder with the clear film side down

Direction of insertion

NOTE: To transmit a carbon-backed document, insert a white

sheet of paper between the carbon back of the document and the document carrier.

• Those containing an easily separable writing substance (e.g., trac-

ing paper written on with a soft, heavy lead pencil).

NOTES: • When using the document carrier, carefully read the in-

structions written on the back.

• If the document carrier is dirty, clean it with a soft, moist

cloth, and then dry it before using for transmission.

• Do not place more than one document in the carrier at a

time.

• The thickness of document which can be held with the carrier

sheet is up to 20 lb.

TELEPHONE JACK

A standard RJ11C telephone jack must be located near the machine. This is the telephone jack commonly used in most homes and offices.

• Plugging the fax machine into a jack which is not an RJ11C jack

may result in damage to the machine or your telephone system. If you do not know what kind of jack you have, or need to have one installed, contact the telephone company.

If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place...

If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that the reading glass may fog up, preventing proper scanning of documents for transmission. To remove the fog, turn on the power and wait approximately 2 hours before using the machine.

2. Installing the printer cartridges (Toner

cartridge: FO-45ND/Drum cartridge: FO-45DR)

Press the button on the side of the printer compartment, and open the printer cover.

• Caution! The ribs on the bottom of the inside of the printer

cover become very hot during printing. Be careful not to touch them.

• If you are installing the cartridges for the first time, go to Step 4.

[4] Installation

1. Site selection

Take the following points into consideration when selecting a site for this model.

ENVIRONMENT

• The machine must be installed on a level surface.

• Keep the machine away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sun-

light, 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 41° and 95°F (10° and 35°C).

• The humidity should be between 30% and 85% (without condensa-

tion).

ELECTRICITY

A 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-prong) AC outlet is required.

Caution!

• Connection to a power source other than that specified will cause

damage to the equipment and is not covered under the warranty.

• 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.

If you are replacing the cartridges, grasp the handle on the toner cartridge, and pull the toner cartridge out of the compartment.

• If you are only replacing the drum cartridge, place the toner

cartridge on a piece of paper on a horizontal surface.

• If you are only replacing the toner cartridge, go to Step 6.

Pull the old drum cartridge out of the compartment.

The cursor position shows the data to be set.

Pressing # key moves the cursor to the right. If, however, the cursor is on data number 8, pressing # key shifts the cursor to data number 1 of the next switch number. If the switch number is the final, pressing # key will exit the soft switch mode. Pressing key moves the cursor to the left. If, however, the cursor is on data number 1, pressing key shifts the cursor to data number 1 of the former switch number. If the switch number is 1, pressing key will not move the cursor.

Data setting method Press the FUNCTION key, and the data at the position of the cursor will be reversed to 0 when it is 1, or to 1 when it is 0. (If the soft switch can be changed at the bit (Refer to 6.), the error buzzer will sound with the process not received.)

Outputting method of soft switch list In the soft switch mode, press the REPORT key, and the soft switch list will be output. If the recording paper runs out or is clogged, the key error buzzer will sound with the process not received.

Storage of data In the following case, the data of the soft switches set will be stored.

• It is shifted to set the next soft switch by pressing the START switch.

• It is shifted to set the next soft switch with the [#] key.

• It is shifted to set the last soft switch with the [ ] key.

• It is shifted to set another soft switch by inputting two digits as the

switch number. (When 2 digits are completely input.)

• Output of the soft switch list is started.

Inhibition of data change (This is also applicable for the optional setting.) In the following case, it is inhibited to change the data with the key error buzzer.

• When the print hold bus code is not registered, the print hold func-

tion is turned from OFF to ON.

• When the print hold function is on, the print hold bus code is

cleared.

• When the memory is used because of substitutive receiving, etc, the

print hold function is mutually turned on/off.

• OFF to ON of telephone billing function which is using the image

memory is used (Note: In the existing set, the telephone billing code function is specified from OFF to ON when the timer system communication (including the batch communication) is set.) Here, the memory is usable when the telephone billing code function is on. It can be set from ON to OFF while the memory is used. However, if setting is practically changed even once, it can not be returned from OFF to ON.

• OFF to ON of multi TTI function and telephone billing code function

when the department control function is OFF.

• OFF to ON of department control function during use of image

memory. (Note: In the existing set, the department control function is set from OFF to ON when the timer communication (including the batch sending) or the memory hold is set.)

• ON to OFF of continuous serial polling function when the continuous

serial polling is started. (Note: In the existing set, "ON to OFF of the continuous serial polling function when the continuous serial polling is registered" has been applied, but the conditions are now moderated. However, registration is impossible to the program of the new continuous serial polling when the continuous serial polling function is OFF.)

Linked change of data (This is the same even in the optional setting.)

• When the department control function is off, the multi TTI function

and telephone billing code function are turned off.

2) Print area

According to the size of the specified sheet, the effective printing area is printed.

3) ROM & RAM check

The sum value of ROM, the work and the back-up RAM are checked. The RS-232C interface is also checked. If any error occurs, the buzzer will inform it. (Refer to the following table). Finally, the result will be printed. This diagnosis does not check the flash memory. The flash memory is checked with the flash memory test.

Number of buzzer sounds Device checked Remarks 1 time <Short sound> ROM1 Main 2 times <Short sounds> ROM2 Main 3 times <Short sounds> Integrated ROM/RAM Main 4 times <Short sounds> D-RAM Main 5 times <Short sounds> S-RAM Main *6 times <Short sounds> S-RAM (on the optional memory) Main 1 time <Long sound> ROM Sub 1 2 times <Long sounds> Integrated ROM/RAM Sub 1 3 times <Long sounds> D-RAM Sub 1 4 times <Long sounds> Dual port RAM1 Sub 1 5 times <Long sounds> ROM Sub 2 6 times <Long sounds> Integrated ROM/RAM Sub 2 7 times <Long sounds> D-RAM Sub 2 8 times <Long sounds> Dual port RAM2 Sub 2

* As practical, it is judged that the optional memory is not installed if any

error occurs. Therefore, it does sometimes not sound.

For the short and long sounds, one pattern is as follows.

Main system: 0.25 seconds ON/0.25 seconds OFF

Sub system: 1.00 second ON/0.25 seconds OFF The execution state of checking is as follows. Moreover, the list of the check result is output after checking is ended.

Only the sensor which is activated (fallen down) is displayed.)

The paper sheet size (A4/B4) is displayed.

5) Aging mode

If any document is set up in the first state (when started), copying will be executed. If it is not set up, "check pattern 1" of the print diagnosis is output at the intervals of 1 time/60 minutes. (A total of 10 sheets are output.)

6) Panel check mode

This is used to check whether each key is normally operated or not. According to the key input, LCD is displayed. Moreover, during execution, the document reading lamp is turned on.

When [PANEL CHECK MODE] is displayed, press the [START] key. The test will be started. When the test is started, LEDs will sequentially come on (the lighting sequence and speed are separately specified). It can be checked whether all LEDs are all lit or not.

Press any other key except [STOP] key. At this time, the name of each key will be displayed every push of the key.

Finally press the [STOP] key. If all keys can be input, the key input "ALL KEY OK!!" will be displayed when the STOP key is ended. The screen will be all displayed in black, and the test result will be

printed. In this test, it is okayed if all the other keys except [STOP] key have been pressed from start of the test to its end (the [STOP] key is pressed). If any key is skipped, it will be regarded as "KEY ERROR!!", and the name of the key not pressed will be printed on the list as the result. This will complete printing. Some two keys may be interchanged in the hardware. In this case, it is necessary to check the display when pressing the key.

7) Optical adjust mode

The document reading lamp is turned on.

8) Product check

The diagnosis is used in the production process. After shift to the mode, the following operations are sequentially executed. At this time, the sensor of read-error can be checked by feeding the B3 document. Set up one short document of B4 size.

Set 0 km at the line equivalence.

Bring the copy mode into the continuity mode.

It is set to shift into the diagnosis mode when the SPEED key

alone is pressed. After the check, it is necessary to be sure to return the aforementioned soft switches into the initial state. (Clear the memory with the diagnosis.)

11) Memory clear

Clear the back-up memory to initialize the soft switches. The flash memory will be initialized. Then, the initialized list be output.

12) Flash memory

The flash memory is checked. The ordinary memories (ROM, SRAM, DRAM) are checked in the ROM&RAM check process. The write/read test is taken every block to print the result.

When an error occurs, the following error buzzer will sound.

Number of buzzer sounds Check device 7 times <Short sounds> Page memory 8 times <Short sounds> Flash memory 9 times <Short sounds> Flash memory (optional)

During operation of this diagnosis, dual operation is not possible at all. If this is excessively repeated, it will shorten the life of the flash memory.

13) All FAX/TEL. entry mode

Before entry into the diagnosis, the reference destination number is first written into the Rapid key number 01 in the FAX number registration mode.

The diagnosis mode is activated. If any number is not registered in the Rapid key number 01 or any program or group is registered, the diagnosis will be passed without any execution.

The FAX/TEL number (including the substitutive one) of the Rapid key number 01 is copied into the Rapid key numbers 02 thru 48.

The FAX number of the Rapid key number 01 is copied into the speed key numbers 001 thru 150.

If any chain dial is not set in the Rapid key number 01, the Rapid key numbers 02 thru 48 and speed key numbers 001 thru 150 are registered in the group number. If any chain dial is set, any group will not be produced but the chain dial setting alone of the Rapid dial will be canceled. (In all other Rapid key numbers except 01, the chain dial is kept as it is set.)

14) RS-232C check mode

RS-232C interface board is checked. When the interface board is installed, the result will be printed after the check.

15) Dept. passcode

The department passcode list is printed.

16) Conf. passcode

The confidential passcode list is printed. Differing from printing of one box alone soon after registration, the confidential passcodes of all boxes are printed.

17) Print hold code

The print lockout passcode No. is printed.

18) Memory set mode

The set and dump list of the memory content is output.

• The address (8 digits (P) generally including the bank information

is input, and the data of 2 digits is continuously input. Inputting is done in the hexadecimal mode. The ten-key is used for 0 thru 9, and the alphabetic keys A (RAPID01 thru 06) are used for A thru F.

• During data inputting, the address can be moved forward and

backward one byte by one byte with " " and "#". (The address prior to the address 0 is looped as the maximum address.)

• The Validity of the address is not checked. Accordingly, writ-

ing/reading operations are possible in the address of the memory not assigned, the address of ROM and so on. (However, as practical, writing is not done, and the data content runs short each reading.) Though writing is possible in the flash memory, a little time is required. It is also necessary to take care that the life of the flash memory is excessively shortened if much data is written in the flash memory. Since it may run away depending the written content, take minute care for the writing address.

• When the REPORT key is input, the memory dump list is produced

from the displayed address (here, it is limited at the 16-byte boundary address (address with end 0) which does not exceed the specified address and is just in front.). The dump list is output to a maximum of 99 pages. If any data of one page can be repeatedly developed and printed, the list is sufficient. But it is not desired that the content of plural pages are developed in the memory once and are then printed. If the STOP key is pressed, it will pass to the diagnosis after the page which is now being printed is completed printed. If the address exceeds the maximum address, it will return to the address 0 and printing will be continued.

(16th and subsequential letters of the destination name registered in the Rapid No. 01 will be discarded.)

19) Motor aging

• Whether a document is present or not, the motor in the sending

system is kept in rotation until the STOP key is pressed.

• The image quality selection key can be input during stop alone to

set the rotation speed for the image quality. (Here, the speed for FINE is selected when the intermediate tone is specified.)

• The image quality for default at the start of execution is STD

regardless of the image quality selection priority of the main body.

• For rotation, the ten key "1" selects the 1-2 phase excitation, "2"

selects the 2-phase excitation and "3" selects the micro step. It can not be changed during rotation. The 1-2 phase excitation is set as default.

20) Stamp aging

• It is impossible if any document is not set up.

• The document is fed at the 10 mm intervals, and is continuously

stamped.

• The total number of stamps from entry of the mode is displayed on

the screen.

• The ordinary operation aging which stamps a finish every docu-

ment is executed in the ordinary copying mode.

21) Scanner set mode

• The reading width and motor drive conditions are set.

This mode uses the ordinary auto dial. (Accordingly, the signal sending time and minimum pause are all the same as ordinary. The measurement result in this mode is completely all the same as in the ordinary dial mode. Moreover, the same process as above is also done in the dial test mode which is executed in the product check mode.

23) Copy diag mode

In order to shorten the process time during production, this mode is used to automatically switch the copy mode. Three menus are provided.

1. 1Set up two documents. (In case of two documents or more, there is no problem.

2Press the START key. 3Copy 1st document in the fine mode/density AUTO. (One

sheet is printed in the ordinary copy mode.)

4Copy 2nd (subsequential) document in the intermediate

tone mode/density DARK. (In the ordinary copying mode, one sheet is printed when the RESOLUTION key is pressed three times.)

When copy test is tried during production or is checked in two modes (fine and intermediate tones), this mode is provided to reduce the troublesome work which makes the operator stand aside to change the mode. Accordingly, the fine and intermediate tones are merely switched, and the mode is not switched to another mode. (Input of the image quality/density key is invalid.)

2. Try the copy in the mode fixed at COPY REDUCE 95% and

fine mode/density AUTO. At this time, don’t change the soft key of COPY REDUCE. (Input of the image quality/density key is invalid.

3. Continuously try the above items 1 and 2.

The detailed specifications of each mode are described as follows. Here, the operation in each mode is stopped only when the STOP key is pressed by the operator or a printing-impossible error occurs.

• Blank paper aging mode

In the mode, printing is continued in the whole white (white paper) printing pattern until the STOP key is pressed by the operator. (In the printing area)

• Whole black printing aging mode

In the mode, printing is continued in the whole black (whole black) printing pattern until the STOP key is pressed by the operator. (In the printing area)

The ordinary memory does not reset the counter. For clearing, set 0 in this mode or use the life counter clear mode in Item 3-9. (Accordingly, it is necessary to reset the counter or do the clear process in addition to the ordinary memory clear if the content in the memory on the control PWB is broken because of PWB repair, etc. (In the production stage, it is necessary to execute this in the last process.)

Rapid key 08: Life all clear

The mode is used to clear the life counter of the printer of the counter of the auto feeder.

Note: The counter shows the operational state of the printer (e.g.

how many sheets have been printed since start of use?). The ordinary memory does not reset the counter. For clearing, set 0 in the mode 8 or execute this mode. (Accordingly, it is necessary to reset this counter in addition to the ordinary memory clear if the content in the memory on the control PWB is broken because of PWB repair, etc. (In the production stage, it is necessary to execute this in the last process.)

Rapid key 10: Top adjust mode

As the method to adjust the top margin for printing, adjust top-margin adjusting VR on the PWB. If this mode is used at this time, adjustment is possible without the printing test every time when VR is turned.
