Important safety information
•
Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not described in this
manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
•
This machine must only be connected to a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-prong)
outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the machine and
invalidate the warranty.
•
Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. Take care
not to spill any liquids on the machine.
•
Unplug the machine from the power outlet and telephone jack 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.
•
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 jacks in wet locations unless the jack 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.
Important:
This facsimile 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.
This fax machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems.
Before setting up,

Points to keep in mind when setting up
Do not place the machine in direct
sunlight.
Keep dust away from the machine.
Do not place the machine near
heaters or air conditioners.
Keep the area around the machine
clear.
About condensation
If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that
condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of
documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power
and wait approximately two hours before using the machine.
4
Handset
Connections
Connect the handset as shown and place it on the handset rest.
♦ The ends of the handset cord are identical, so they will go into either
jack.
Make sure the
handset cord goes
into the unmarked
jack on the side of
the machine!
1. Installation
Use the handset to
make ordinary phone
calls, or to transmit
and receive
documents manually.
5
Connections
Power cord
Plug the power cord into a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-prong) AC outlet.
Caution!
Do not plug the power cord into any other kind of outlet. This will damage
the machine and is not covered under the warranty.
The machine does not have
a power on/off switch, so
the power is turned on and
off by simply plugging or
unplugging the power cord.
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. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone
specialty stores.

Comments:
Your fax is set for touch-tone dialing. If you are on a pulse dial (rotary) line,
••••
you must set the fax for pulse dialing by changing Option Setting 8. This
procedure is described in Chapter 8, "Option Settings".
If you intend to use a computer fax modem on the same phone line, you must
••••
reset Option Setting 12 (Fax Signal Receive) to NO in order to prevent
transmission and reception errors. This procedure is described in Chapter 8,
"Option Settings".

Connections
Extension phone (optional)
If desired, you can connect an extension phone to the TEL. SET jack on the
fax.
♦ To connect an answering machine to the fax, see Chapter 6, "Answering
Machine Hookup".

Original Document Support
Loading the Fax Paper
Rotate the original document support so that it points straight out.
Loading the Fax Paper
Your fax machine prints
incoming faxes on a
special kind of paper
called thermal paper.
The fax’s print head
creates text and images
by applying heat to the
thermal paper.
1. Installation
Note: The power must be on (plug in the power cord) when loading fax
paper in the fax machine.
Pull the release marked PANEL RELEASE toward you and open the
1
operation panel.

UX-108 only: Make sure the ends of the guide wire are inserted in the
holes. (If the guide wire is not inseted correctly, out-of-paper detection will
not be possible.)
Remove the tape
Unwrap the roll of fax paper and place it in the compartment.
4
•••• Important: The roll must be placed so that the leading edge of the paper
unrolls as shown. (The paper is only coated on one side for printing. If
the roll is placed backwards, the paper will come out blank after printing.)
NO!
YES

Loading the Fax Paper
Insert the leading edge of the paper into the paper inlet. Continue to push
5
the paper through the inlet until it comes out of the opening in the front of
the fax.

UX-108: A short length of the fax paper will feed out. Grasp the paper by
the edge and pull upward to tear it off.
UX-178/UX-188: A short length of the fax paper will feed out and be cut
off. (If this doesn’t happen, repeat the loading procedure.)
Note: The UX-178/UX-188 has a built-in anti-curl mechanism that will
help to reduce paper curling problems. The anti-curl mechanism is more
effective at the beginning of the paper roll and less effective towards the
end.
Replacing the fax paper
When the paper runs out, OUT OF PAPER will appear in the display.
Reception and copying will no longer be possible. To replace the paper, first
take out the old roll, then load the new roll as described above.
To assure a long life for your fax and obtain the best reproduction quality, we
recommend that you use the following Sharp fax (thermal) paper which is
available from your dealer or retailer:
FO-40PRw THERMAL PAPER (163.8 ft. roll)
♦ The use of any other paper may result in poor copy quality and excessive
build-up of residue on the head.
Handling fax paper
Do not unpack the paper until you are ready to use it. It may become
discolored if:
♦ It is stored at high humidity or high temperature.
♦ It is exposed to direct sunlight.
♦ It comes in contact with glue, thinner, or a freshly copied blueprint.
♦ A rubber eraser or adhesive tape is used on it, or it is scratched.

Selecting the Reception Mode
Selecting the Reception Mode
Your fax has three modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:
TEL mode:
This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also
receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the
fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax
will automatically answer all calls on four rings and receive incoming faxes.
A.M. mode:
Select this mode when you have connected an answering machine to the fax
(see Chapter 6) and you want the answering machine to answer all calls. This
allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out.
