POWER ON AND OFF

The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE

POWER ON

Turn the power switch to the "ON" position.

POWER OFF

Make sure that the machine is not in operation and then turn the power switch to the "OFF" position.

Note

While the machine is warming up, the message "Warming Up" will appear in the message display.

• The machine reverts to the initial settings when it is first turned on, when the [CA] key is pressed, or when no keys are pressed for the preset "Auto clear" time following the end of a copy job. When the machine reverts to the initial settings, all settings and functions selected to that point are cancelled. The "Auto clear" time can be changed in the system settings. (p.179)

• The machine is initially set to automatically enter power save mode if not used for copying or printing, for a preset period of time. This setting can be changed in the system settings. (p.180)

• Before using fax mode, read the following sections and then turn on the power. "TO USE THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY AS A FACSIMILE" (p.79) "POINTS TO CHECK AND PROGRAM AFTER INSTALLATION" (p.80)

If the power switch is turned off while the machine is in operation, a misfeed may occur and the job that was in progress will be cancelled.

POWER SAVE MODES

The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption thereby reducing the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power save modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".

Preheat mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. In preheat mode the display turns off. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, or a print job or fax is received.

Auto power shut-off mode

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the duration of time set in the system settings elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. During auto power shut-off, only the [ENERGY SAVE] indicator ( ) blinks. To restore the machine to normal operation, press the [ENERGY SAVE] key ( ). Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job or fax is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While auto power shut-off is in effect, pressing a key other than the [ENERGY SAVE] key ( ) will have no effect.

Note

The preheat activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed using system settings.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

The machine is set at the factory to return all settings to the default settings one minute after a copy job is finished (auto clear function) or when the [CA] key is pressed. When the settings return to the default settings, any functions that were selected are cancelled. The auto clear time can be changed in the system settings. In the default state the display shown below appears. The default state of

the display may vary depending on settings in the system settings.

SELECTING THE COLOUR MODE

This section explains how to select the colour mode in the printer driver properties window. The following three selections are available for the colour mode:

Automatic: The machine automatically determines whether each page is colour or black and white and prints

the page accordingly. Pages with colours other than black and white are printed using Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner. Pages that are only black and white are printed using Bk (Black) toner only. This is convenient when printing a document that has both colour and black and white pages, however, the printing speed is slower.

Color: All pages are printed in colour. Both colour data and black and white data are printed using

Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner.

Black and White: All pages are printed in black and white. Colour data such as images or materials for a

presentation are printed using black toner only. This mode helps conserve colour toner when you do not need to print in colour, such as when proofreading or checking the layout of a document.

When "Color Mode" is set to [Automatic]

Even if the print result is black and white, the following types of print jobs will be counted as 4-colour (Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan), and Bk (Black)) print jobs. To be always counted as a black and white job, select [Black and White].

• When the data is created as colour data.

PRINTING MULTIPLE PAGES ON ONE PAGE

This function can be used to reduce the print image and print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper. This is convenient when you want to print multiple images such as photos on a single sheet of paper, and when you want to conserve paper. This function can also be used in combination with two-sided printing for maximum conservation of paper. Using the PCL6 printer driver, you can print only the first page in the original size and print multiple reduced pages on the subsequent sheets. For example, when [2-Up] (2 pages per sheet) and [4-Up] (4 pages per sheet) are selected, the following print results will be obtained, depending on the order selected.

in disposing of this battery. The machine will not operate once the battery dies.

Page 80

FAX FUNCTIONS

POINTS TO CHECK AND PROGRAM AFTER INSTALLATION

After installing the machine and before using it as a fax machine, check the following points and program the required information.

Set the date and time

The machine has an internal clock. It is important to set the correct date and time because they are used for such features as Timer Transmission (p.98). The date and time are set in the system settings. (p.176) The date and time appear in the display. Make sure the correct date and time appear. If the date and time are wrong, please correct them.

Program the sender's name and sender's number

The name and fax number of the user of the machine is programmed in "Own Passcode Set" (p.184) in the system settings. (Only one name and number can be programmed.) The programmed name and number are printed at the top of each transmitted fax page. The sender's number is also used as an identification number when you use the Polling function to request transmission from another fax machine (see "SENDING OPTIONS" (p.100)).

Note

You can check your programmed name and number by printing out the "Administrator Settings List" in the system settings. (See

"List Setting" (p.183).)

Paper sizes that can be used for fax mode

The machine can use A4, B5, A5, 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13" and 5-1/2"x 8-1/2" size paper; (If your machine uses AB-based paper sizes, 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13" and 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper cannot be used in fax mode. (Among INCH sizes, only 8-1/2" x 11" and 5-1/2"x 8-1/2" can be used.))

For this reason, if only paper sizes that can be used in other modes but not in fax mode are loaded in the machine, received faxes cannot be printed. (For other points regarding fax reception, see "RECEIVING FAXES" (p.95).)

Note

For the procedures for loading paper in the trays, "LOADING PAPER" (p.19).

*Long originals

Depending on the resolution setting and the width of the original, there may not be sufficient space in memory to hold a long original. When a long original cannot be entirely scanned, use direct transmission or manual transmission (on-hook dialling).

• There are restrictions on originals that can be scanned using the document feeder. For more information, see "NORMAL COPYING" (p.26).

• When sending a fax, originals of different length can be scanned together from the document feeder, as long as the widths are the same. (one-sided scanning)

Scanning width is fixed to A4 width (210mm) or 8-1/2" (216mm). Scanning length is automatically adjusted from 148mm to 500mm.

All are scanned at A4 or 8-1/2" x 11".

FAX FUNCTIONS

CONVENIENT DIALLING METHODS (AUTO-DIALLING)

The fax function includes a convenient auto dial feature (Speed dialling and group dialling). By programming frequently dialled numbers, you can call and send faxes to these locations by means of a simple dialling operation (p.87). There are two types of auto-dialling: Speed dialling, and group dialling. To program auto-dial numbers, see p.103.

• Speed dialling (300 stations) A stored destination can be dialled by pressing the [SPEED] key ( ), entering a 3-digit number (000 to 299), and pressing the [BLACK & WHITE START] key. A name (maximum 36 characters) can be stored for each destination.

• Group dialling Multiple numbers can be stored in a Speed Dial number. This is convenient for communicating with a group of other fax machines.

• REDIALLING The machine retains the last fax or phone number dialled. This number can be redialled by simply pressing the [REDIAL] key ( ) and then the [BLACK & WHITE START] key.

• If you pressed a numeric key during the previous

call, the [REDIAL] key ( ) may not dial the correct number.

FAX FUNCTIONS

FAX TRANSMISSION METHODS

There are three basic methods for fax transmission: memory transmission, direct transmission, and manual transmission. When memory transmission is used, the document is temporarily stored in memory before being transmitted. When direct transmission or manual transmission is used, the document is transmitted without being stored in memory. The default transmission setting can be set to "Memory TX" or "Direct TX" using "Send Mode" (p.186) in the system settings. To manually switch between "Memory TX" and "Direct TX", use the [COMM. SETTING] key ( ). (See "Faxing by direct transmission" (p.89).) The following explanations generally assume that memory transmission is being used.

ADDRESS REVIEW FUNCTION

The Address Review function allows you to check fax destinations to prevent transmission to an incorrect destination. When a fax number is entered with the numeric keys or selected with the [REDIAL] key ( ), a screen appears after you enter the number prompting you to reenter the number for confirmation.

• When a Speed Dial number (p.87) is used for transmission, a screen appears for confirmation of the stored name and number.

• When a group dial number (p.87) is used for transmission, a screen appears for confirmation of all numbers stored in the group.

This function can be set in "Address Review" in the system settings (p.186).

Note

• When the Address Review function is turned on, the [SPEAKER] key ( ) can only be used for manual reception a screen appears to confirm whether you want to start reception. The speaker key on a connected extension phone can be used.

• If the "Only apply to direct entry" checkbox is selected when the Address Review function is turned on, the Address Review screen only appears when a number is entered with the numeric keys or the [REDIAL] key ().

FAX FUNCTIONS

Transmission settings (memory transmission mode and direct transmission mode)

Transmission modes include memory transmission, where the original is temporarily scanned into memory before transmission, and direct transmission, where the original is transmitted directly without being scanned into memory. There are two types of memory transmission: "Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)" (p.90), where all pages of the original are scanned into memory before transmission begins, and "Quick On-line" (p.91), where the destination is dialled after the first page is scanned and the remaining pages are transmitted as they are scanned. During a memory transmission, it may happen that the memory becomes full while the originals are being scanned. See "If the memory becomes full during transmission of a stored transmission job" (p.90), and see "If the memory becomes full during a quick online transmission" (p.91)

If there are too many pages and memory transmission is not possible, you can press the [COMM. SETTING] key () to switch from memory transmission to direct transmission. When direct transmission is used, transmission begins after the current job is completed, allowing you to give priority to a transmission job. As such, direct transmission is a convenient means of performing an interrupt transmission when there are a large number of stored transmission jobs.

To switch between memory transmission and direct transmission, see the following "Faxing by direct transmission".

• When a fax is sent by direct transmission or manual transmission, the fax is sent after the connection with the receiving machine is established.

Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)

When the line is in use, the transmission job is temporarily stored in memory. When the current job and any previously stored jobs are completed, transmission begins automatically. (This is called memory transmission.) This means that transmission jobs can be stored in memory by performing a transmission operation while the machine is occupied with another transmission/reception operation. A combined total of 50 memory transmission and timer transmission jobs (p.98) can be stored at once. After transmission, the scanned document data is cleared from memory. You can check transmission jobs stored in memory in the fax job status screen. (p.93) Note that depending on the number of pages stored in memory and the transmission settings, it may not be possible to store 50 jobs in memory.

• The procedure for storing a transmission job is the same as the procedure in "BASIC PROCEDURE FOR SENDING FAXES" (p.85).

• If you have not yet pressed the [BLACK & WHITE START] key, you can cancel a transmission job by pressing the [C] key.

• If you have already pressed the [BLACK & WHITE START] key, see "Cancelling a stored transmission job" (p.93). If the original is still being scanned after the [BLACK & WHITE START] key is pressed, you can press the [C] key to cancel the transmission.

•

If you store a transmission job in direct transmission mode, you will not be able to store any further transmission jobs.

After transmission, the scanned document data is cleared from memory. You can check transmission jobs stored in memory in the fax job status screen. (p.93)

If the memory becomes full during transmission of a stored transmission job

If the memory becomes full while scanning the first page of a document, the transmission job is automatically cancelled. If the memory becomes full while scanning the second page or a following page, scanning stops. In this case, you can either press the [C] key to cancel the transmission, or press the [OK] key to transmit only those pages which were completely scanned.

Page 91

FAX FUNCTIONS

Quick On-line

When you use the document feeder to send a multi-page document and there are no previously stored jobs waiting or in progress (and the line is not being used), the machine dials the destination after the first page is scanned and begins transmitting scanned pages while the remaining pages are being scanned. This transmission method is called Quick On-line. When a quick online transmission is being performed, the message display shows "Reading" "Dialling" - "Comm." - "Sending" in that order until scanning of the remaining pages is completed. When all pages have been scanned, "Read End" appears before the above messages appear. If the receiving party is busy, the quick online transmission will change into a stored transmission job (memory transmission). (See "Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)" (p.90).)

If the memory becomes full during a quick online transmission

If the memory becomes full while scanning the first page of a document, the transmission job is automatically cancelled. If the memory becomes full while scanning the second page or a following page, those pages which were completely scanned will be transmitted.

Note

The machine is initially set (factory setting) to perform Quick On-line transmission. If desired, you can disable this function in the system settings. (See "Quick On Line TX" (p.186).) When an original is transmitted using the following methods, the job will be stored in memory. (Quick On-line transmission will not be performed.)

RECEIVING FAXES

When another fax machine sends a fax to your machine, your machine will ring*, automatically receive the fax, and begin printing. (This is called automatic reception.) If you do not wish to have received faxes printed immediately, use the print hold function to hold received faxes in memory for printing at your convenience (all received faxes will be printed at once). To enable this function and print received faxes, see "FAX PRINT HOLD FUNCTION" (p.97).

Note

• You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress. (See "Storing transmission jobs (memory

transmission)" (p.90)

• To print received fax pages on both sides of the paper, enable "Duplex Reception" (p.187) in the system

settings.

• If a extension phone is not connected to the machine, use automatic reception.

FAX FUNCTIONS

If received data cannot be printed

If the machine runs out of paper or toner, or a paper misfeed occurs, or if the machine is printing a print or copy job, received faxes will be held in memory until printing becomes possible. The received faxes are automatically printed when printing is possible. When received faxes are held in memory, the FAX [DATA] light ( ) blinks. You can also use the forwarding function to have another fax machine print the received faxes. (See "FORWARDING FUNCTION" (p.110).)

In order to receive faxes, paper must be loaded in the paper tray. Load appropriate paper as explained in

Note

"LOADING PAPER" (p.19).

• If you receive a fax that is larger than the loaded paper, the system setting uses "Received Data Print Condition" (p.187) to print it out in the following manner: If "Reduction" is set up, the image is automatically reduced before printing.* If "Division" is set up, the image is split onto multiple sheets of paper and printed on them at actual size.* If "Actual Size" is set up, the image is printed at actual size without being split.* *1 If the loaded paper is of the B5 size or less, the received image may not be printed depending upon the

width and length of the image data.

*2 The received image won't be printed until you load the paper larger than the actual size.

• In fax mode, printing is not possible on B5 and A5 sizes. (Among AB sizes, only A4 can be used for printing.) (If your machine uses AB-based paper sizes, 8-1/2" x 14" size paper cannot be used in fax mode. (Among AB sizes, only 8-1/2" x 11" and 8-1/2" x 11" can be used for printing.))

• If the paper runs out while a fax is being printed, printing will automatically continue using the closest size of paper in another tray.

• If you change the size of paper loaded in a tray, change the tray's paper size setting.

• Faxes cannot be printed correctly if the actual paper size is different from the paper size setting. Be sure to set the tray's paper size setting to the same paper size as the paper loaded in the tray. For example, if you receive an B4 (11" x 17") size fax when A4 (8-1/2" x 14") paper is loaded in the tray and the tray's paper size setting is B4 (11" x 17"), the fax will be printed on A4 (8-1/2" x 14") paper and part of the image may be cut off If the paper loaded in the tray is larger than the paper size setting, paper larger than the recognized fax size will be used. (A message prompting you to check the tray's paper size setting will appear.)

• Received faxes cannot be printed on paper inserted in the bypass tray.

FAX PRINT HOLD FUNCTION

Faxes are normally printed as soon as they are received. This function is used to hold received faxes in memory rather than printing them as they are received. Faxes held in memory are printed manually all at once.

Settings required for fax print hold

If a fax is received when auto power shut-off mode has activated ("POWER ON AND OFF" (p.15)), the machine returns to normal operation in order to print the fax. For this reason, if faxes are received at regular intervals, auto power shut-off will repeatedly activate and deactivate and less power will be conserved. If you wish to maximize the benefit of auto power shut-off at night and other times when printing of received faxes is not immediately necessary, enable fax print hold. When fax print hold is enabled, receiving faxes when auto power shut-off has activated will not cause auto power shut-off to deactivate.

It is recommended that you enable and disable fax print hold as needed for your conditions of use; for example, enable fax print hold during the night and disable it during the day.

SENDING THE SAME DOCUMENT TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS IN A SINGLE OPERATION

This feature is used to send a fax to multiple destinations in a single operation. The original to be transmitted is scanned into memory and then successively transmitted to the selected destinations. This feature is convenient for such purposes as distributing a report to company branches. Up to 100 destinations can be selected. When transmission to all destinations has been completed, the document is automatically cleared from memory.

• If you frequently use broadcasting to send faxes to the same group of destinations, it is convenient to program

those destinations into a group dial. The procedure for programming group dials is explained on p.103.

• When a group dial is used to send a fax, the fax is broadcast (transmitted) to the destinations programmed in the group dial. For example, if five destinations are programmed in a group dial and the key is pressed for a broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission will have five destinations.
