TO USE THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY AS A FACSIMILE

Lithium battery

A lithium battery in the machine is used to retain settings and programmed information such as auto-dial numbers (page 66).

• When the battery dies, settings and programmed information will be lost, so please keep a record of this information. (See "PRINTING LISTS OF PROGRAMMED INFORMATION, SETTINGS, AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY" on page 85.)

• The life of the battery is approximately 5 years when the power switch is kept cont inuously off.

• When the battery dies, please contact your local Sharp dealer or authorised service representative for assistance in disposing of this battery. The machine will not operate once the battery dies.

Please note

In the event of a thunderstorm, remove the power cord from the power outlet to ensure safety. Information will be retained in memory even if the power cord is unplugged.

POINTS TO CHECK AND PROGRAM AFTER INSTALLATION

After installing the machine and before usin g it as a fax mac hine , che ck th e follo win g po in ts an d prog ra m the required information.

Set the date and time

The machine has an internal clock. It is important to set the c orre ct da te and time be ca use the y ar e use d for su ch features as Timer Transmission (page 33). The date and time are set in the system settings. (Page 104) The date and time appear in the display. Ma ke sure the corre ct date and time ap pear. 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" (page 101) in the system settings. (Only one name and number can be programmed.) The programmed name and number are p rinted at the t op of each transmit ted 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 "USING THE POLLING FUNCTION" on page 36).

Note

You can check your programmed name and nu mber by printing out the "Administrator Settings List" in the system settings. (See "LIST PRINT" on page 99.)

Paper sizes that can be used for fax mode

The machine can use A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5, 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 11", 8-1/2" x 11"R, and 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"* size paper; however, 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14" 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 8-1/2" x 11"R can be used.) (If your machine use s inch-based paper sizes, A3, B4, B5, B5R, and A5 size paper cannot be used in fax mode. (Among AB sizes, only A4 and A4R 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" page 27.)

* A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") size paper can only be loaded in tray 1, regardless of the mode. A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") paper cannot be

loaded in tray 2 or in the optional 250-sheet paper feed unit or 2 x 250-sheet paper feed unit.

USING THE DOCUMENT GLASS

• Insert the originals all the way into the document feeder tray.

• Make sure the stack does not exceed the indicator line (maximum of 40 sheets, or 30 sheets of 90 g/m paper, thickness 4 mm (5/32") or less).

• Do not load originals that are different sizes even if the widths are the same. This may cause misfeeds.

• Use the SPF/RSPF for long originals. The document glass cannot be used.

• When inserting a long original, the original should be in contact with the surface of the document feeder tray. If the original is not in contact with the surface of the document feeder tray, an incorrect original size may be detected.

(24 lbs.)

Open the SPF/RSPF, place the original

face down on the document glass, and then gently close the SPF/RSPF.

•

If auto power shut-off has activated, press the [START] key, wait until the machine has returned to normal operation, and then place the original.

•

When transmitting a small original such as a postcard, be sure to press the [ORIGINAL SIZE] key and set the original size. (Page 13)

Regardless of the size of the original, place the original in the far left corner of the document glass. (Align the upper left-hand corner of the original with the tip of the mark.) Place the original in t he appropriate position for its size as shown below.

The fax function includes a convenient auto dial feature (Rapid dialling, 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 (page 19). There are three types of auto-dialling: Rapid dialling, speed dialling, and group dialling. To program auto-dial numbers, see page 66 .

• Rapid dialling A stored destination can be dialled by simply pressing a Rapid key ([01] to [50]). A name up to 36 characters in length can be programmed for the location (a maximum of 12 characters are displayed). When using F-code transmission, a sub-address and passcode (page 52) can also be programmed . The programmed user

names appear.

• 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 [START] key ( ). A name (maximum 36 characters) can be stored for each destination. When using F-code transmission, a sub-address and passcode (page 52) can also be programmed.

The Speed number entry screen appears.

• Group dialling Multiple Rapid dial and/or Speed dial destinations can be stored in a Rapid key fo r Group dialling. Destinations can also be stored for Group dialling by entering fax numbers with the numeric keys. This is convenient for communicating with a group of other fax machines. The programmed group

names appear.

If you pressed a numeric ke y during the pre vious call, the [REDIAL] key may not dial the correct number.

• Redialling is not possible to broadcast transmi ssion (page 31), serial polling (page 37), timer transmission (page 33), group dialling (page 19), or F-code transmission (page 59) destinations.

• ON-HOOK DIALLING This feature allows you to dial without lifting an extension phone co nnected to the machine . Press the [SPEAKER] key, listen for the dial tone through the speaker, and then dial.

• If a person answers, lift the extension phone to answer. (You can only speak to the other party if an extension phone is connected to the machine.)

• Faxes must be sent manually when using on-hook dialling. (Page 23)

• On-hook dialling is not possible using a Rapid key that includes a sub-address and passcode, or a group dial key.

• To prevent dialling a wrong number and sending a fax to an incorrect destination, check the message display carefully when you store the number. You can also check stored numbers by printing out the programmed information after storing the number (page 85).

BASIC OPERATIONS

This chapter explains the basic procedures for sending and receiving faxes. 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" (page 106) in the system settings. To manually switch between "MEMORY TX" and "DIRECT TX", use the [COMM. SETTING] key. (See "Faxing by direct transmission" on page 22.) The following explanations generally assume that memory transmission is being used.

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 a transmission" (page 23), where all pages of the original are scanned into memory before transm ission b egins, a nd "Qu ick online transmission" (page 24), 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 t he memory becomes full while the originals are being scanned. (See "If the memory becomes full during transmission of a stored transmission job" on page 23 and "If the memory becomes full during a quick online transmission" on page 24.) The number of pages that can be stored in memory varies depending on the content of the pages, the transmission settings, and whether memory has been added. 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 inte rrupt transm ission when there are a la rge numb er of sto red transmission job s. To switch between memory transmission and direct transmission, see the following "Faxing by direct transmission".

Note

When transmission is performed manually using an extension phone connected to the machine or using on-hook dialling, direct transmission is automatically selected. (Memory transmission is not possible.)

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 memo ry transmission .) T his means that transmission jobs can be stored in memor y by perfo rming a tran smission operat ion while t he mach ine is occupied with another transmission/reception operation. Up to 50 jobs can be stored in memory 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. (Page 26) 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 memo ry.

• The procedure for storing a transmission job is the same as the procedure in "BASIC PROCEDURE FOR SENDING FAXES" on page 17.

• If you have not yet pressed the [START] key ( ), you can cancel a transmission job by pressing the [C] key. If you have already pressed the [START] key

BASIC OPERATIONS

Quick On-line

When you use the SPF/RSPF 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 destin ation after the first page is scanned and begins transmitting scanned pages while the rema ining 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 pag e s is com ple te d. 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)" on page 23.)

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 pa ge 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 desi red, you ca n disab le this function in the system settings. (See "QUICK ON LINE TX" on page 106.) When an original is transmitted using the following methods, the job will be stored in memory. (Quick On-line transmission will not be performed.)

• Sending a fax from the document glass.

• Broadcast transmission (page 31)

• Timer transmission (page 33)

• F-code transmission (page 52 in Chapter 4)

If the receiving party is busy

If the receiving party is busy, the transmission is tempor arily cancelled and then automatically re-attempted after a brief interval. (Two attempts are made at an interval of 3 minutes.* If you do not want the machine to re-attempt the transmission, press the [FAX STATUS] key and cancel the job.

Image rotation

The machine is initially set to rotate a vertically-placed ( ) document 90° so that it is oriented horizontally ( ) before transmission (A4 (8-1/2" x 11") originals are rotated to A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R) and A5R originals are rotated to A5). A4R (8-1/2" x 11"R) originals and A5 originals are not rotated. In Taiwan, B5R originals are also rotated to B5 (however, B5 originals are not rotated). If desired, you can disable the rotation function in the system settings as explained on "ROTATE TX" (page 105).

Note

Place A5 size originals so that they are oriented vertically ( ). If oriented horizontally, ( A5R orientation), press the [ORIGINAL SIZE] key and specify the correct original size (select "A5R") (See "MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING SIZE" on page 13.)

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" on page 29.

Note

• You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress. (See "Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)" on page 23.)

• To print received fax pages on both sides of the paper, enable "DUPLEX RECEPTION" (page 109) in the system settings.

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

• In order to receive faxes, paper must be loaded in the paper tray. See "LOADING PAPER" in the Operation Guide for the machine to load appropriate paper. Incoming faxes will be automatically adjusted to the orientation of the printing paper, so there is no need to load both horizontally ( ) and vert ically ( ) oriented paper. However, when a fax smaller than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is received, the size of paper used to print the fax will differ depending on the orientation (horizontal or vertical) of the original in the sending machine.

RECEIVING A FAX

The machine will ring* and reception

will automatically begin.

The LINE indicator lights up.

*Number of rings

The machine has been set to ring twice before beginning automatic reception. You can change the number of rings to any number from 0 to 9 in the system settings. (See "#OF RINGS AT. RX" on page 108.) If the number of rings is set to 0, the machine will receive faxes without ringing.

Reception ends.

Note

The job separator has a sensor that detects when a tray is full. When approximately 100 sheets accumulate in a tray, a message appears in the display and fax printing stops. If this happens, remove the sheets. Printing will resume momentarily.

• When reception ends, the machine sounds a beep.

• When the optional job separator tray kit is installed, received faxes are output to the job separator.

Earlier output of received data

If a fax cannot be printed because the machine is out of the appropriate paper and another fax is subsequently received that can be printed, the subsequently received fax will be printed before the fax that cannot be printed. This also happens when there are several faxes in memory that cannot be printed. This function can be disabled in the system settings. (See "EARLIER OUTPUT" on page 110.)

BASIC OPERATIONS

F-code confidential fax reception

When a fax has been received by F-code confidential fax reception, an icon ( ) will appear in the base screen of fax mode (message display (1) on page 9). The icon also appears in fron t of the box in the F-code confidential box name screen in the display. (Step 6 on page 61) Print the received fax as explained in "PRINTING A DOCUMENT RECEIVED TO AN F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL MEMORY BOX" (page 61).

If received data cannot be printed

If the machine runs out of paper or toner, or a pap er misfe ed o ccurs, o r if t he machin e is pr inting a pr int or co py 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 DATA ind icator at the upper right of the [FAX] key blinks. You can also use the forwardin g function to have another fax machine print the received faxes. (See "FORWARDING FUNCTION" on page 49.)

Note

In order to receive faxes, paper must be loaded in the paper tray. Load appropriate paper as explained in "LOADING PAPER" in the Operation Guide for the machine. The difference between vertically and horizontally oriented A4 and A4R paper (8-1/2" x 11" and 8-1/2" x 11"R paper), is automatically adjusted at the time of reception, so there is no need to load paper in both orientations. However, when a fax smaller than A4 (8-1/2" x 11") is received, the size of paper used to print the fax will differ depending on the orientation (horizontal or vertical) of the original in the sending machine.

• If you wish to use A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") paper to receive faxes, load A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") paper in tray 1 of the machine and set the paper size to A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2"). Only tray 1 can be set to A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") size.

• If you receive a fax that is larger than the loaded paper, the system setting uses "RECEIVED DATA PRINT CONDITION" on page 109 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 sp lit. *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 11" x 17", 8-1/2" x 14", 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" sizes. (Among INCH sizes, only 8-1/2" x 11" and 8-1/2" x 11"R can be used for printing.) (If your machine uses inch-based paper sizes, A3, B4, B5, B5R, and A5 size paper cannot be used in fax mode. (Among AB sizes, only A4 and A4R 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 y ou receive an A3 (11" x 17") size fax when B4 (8-1/2" x 14") paper is loaded in the tray and the tray's paper size setting is A3 (11" x 17"), the fax will be printed on B4 (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.
