Important safety information
Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not described in this manual.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use the
machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool. Take care not to spill any liquids on the machine.
Unplug the machine from the telephone socket and then the power outlet and consult a
qualified service representative if any of the following situations occur:
- Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been
exposed to rain or water.
- The machine produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises.
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.
- The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install the machine where people
may walk on the power cord.
This machine must only be connected to a 220 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, earthed (2-prong) outlet.
Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the machine and invalidate the warranty.
Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the machine. This could create a risk
of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into the machine that you cannot remove, unplug the
machine and consult a qualified service representative.
Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The machine could be seriously
damaged if it falls.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone sockets in wet locations unless the socket is specifically designed for
wet locations.
Never touch bare telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be
a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

♦ The fax machine is not designed for use on a line which has call waiting,
call forwarding, or certain other special services offered by your telephone
company. If you attempt to use the fax machine in conjunction with any of
these services, you may experience errors during transmission and
reception of facsimile messages.
♦ The fax machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems.
♦ 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. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or at most
telephone specialty stores.
Moving your fax and reconnecting
Should it be necessary to move your fax to a new location, first disconnect the
telephone line cord before disconnecting the power lead. When reconnecting,

Loading the Imaging Film
Loading the Imaging Film
Your fax uses a roll of imaging film to create printed text and images. The print
head in the fax applies heat to the imaging film to transfer ink to the paper.
Follow the steps below to load or replace the film.
The initial starter roll of
imaging film included with
your fax can print about
150 A4-size pages.
1 Remove the paper from the paper tray
and open the operation panel (press
➊).
If you are loading the imaging film for
the first time, go to Step 4.
2 Remove the used film and
empty spool.
When replacing the film,
use a roll of Sharp FO-6CR imaging film. One
roll can print about 150
A4-size pages.

Setting the Reception Mode
Setting the Reception Mode
Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming faxes:
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax
machine will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
TEL mode:
This mode is the most convenient for receiving phone calls. Faxes can also be
received; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the fax's
handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
TEL/FAX mode:
This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When a call
comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (including manually
dialled faxes), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the fax will
make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automatically
dialled fax, reception will begin automatically.
A.M. mode:
Select this mode when you go out and want the built-in answering machine to
answer all calls. Voice messages will be recorded, and fax messages will be
received automatically.
