Points to keep in mind when setting up

♦ The fax must be installed on a level surface. ♦ Keep the fax away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust. ♦ Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the fax. In particular,

keep the area in front of the fax clear, or the original document may jam as it comes out after scanning.

♦ If the fax is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensa-

tion may form on the reading glass, preventing proper scanning of documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and wait approximately two hours before using the fax.

♦ 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.

Chapter 1 Installation

Loading the Imaging Film

The printer unit in your fax creates printed text and images by applyin g heat to the imaging film, which causes ink to be transferred from the film to the page. Follow the steps below to install or replace the imaging film.

Press the release marked OPEN and

open the print compartment cover.

• Caution! The printing head (the strip

of metal on the underside of the cover) applies heat to the imaging film. It may be hot if a document has just bee n printed.

If you are replacing the imaging film, take the old film out of the printing compartment and remove the three (3) green gears and the green flange from the ends of the spools.

DO NOT DISCARD THE GREEN GEARS AND THE GREEN FLANGE!

Take the new film out of its package, and insert two of the gears provided with the fax into the ends of the spool with film. Make sure that the two tabs on the gears fit properly into the slots in the ends of the spool.

• Do not yet remove the band which

holds the spools together.

Hold the empty spool so that the end with only one slot is on the left, and lower the spools into the front of the printing compartment. The gears in the ends of the spool with film should fit in to the slots on each side of the printing compartment.

Chapter 1 Installation

2 tabs

Cut the band which holds the spools together with scissors, and remove it. Insert the remaining gear into the right end of the empty spool and the flange into the left end of the empty spool. Make sure the tabs on the gear and the flange fit into the slots in the ends of the spool (the gear has two tabs and the flange has one tab).

Flange

1 tab

2 tabs

Gear

Chapter 1 Installation

Pull the empty spool toward the back of the compartment, unwinding the film as you pull.

Insert the empty spool into the back of the compartment so that the gear and the flange fit into the slots on th e sides of the compartment.

• Make sure that the gear engages with

the gear below it.

Wind the film slightly (rotate the gear on the right side of the empty spool) so that there is no slack in the film. Make sure that both edges of the film wind onto the spool evenly.

Close the print compartment cover, making sure it clicks into place.

• Caution! Close the cover slowly to

make sure it doesn’t pinch your fingers.

If you replaced the film, initialize the new film by pressing the FUNCTION key, the "6" key, and the "#" key on the operation panel. Make sure that INITIALIZE FILM appears in the display, and then press the START key. (Do not perform this step if you installed the initial sample roll of film.)

Chapter 1 Installation

FUNCTION

START

When to replace the imaging film

The sample roll of imaging film provided with your fax is capable of printing approximately 65 pages of letter size paper. When it is used up, FILM END will appear in the display. Replace it with the following imaging film, which is available at your dealer or retailer.

UX-15CR Imaging Film

One roll of UX-15CR imaging film is capable of printing approximately 500 pages of letter size paper when printed continuously.

Caution!

The text of documents printed with the imaging film is visible on the used film. If confidential information has been printed, dispose of the film appropriately.

Chapter 1 Installation

Connections

Connect the power cord, telephone line cord, and handset as shown below. If desired, you can also connect an answering machine or an extension telephone to your fax.

♦ Connecting an answering machine to the fax will allow you to receive both

voice and fax messages on the same line while you are out. For details on using this feature, see Chapter 7. (Note: Do not connect an answering machine to your fax if you will be using the distinctive ring feature described in Chapter 2.)

♦ You can connect an extension phone to the fax to make and receive calls

like any other extension phone on your line. For details on receiving faxes from an extension phone, see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents".

Plug the power cord into a 120 V,

60 Hz, grounde d (3-p ro ng ) ou tlet. Caution: Do not plug the power

cord into any other kind of outlet. This will damage the machine and is not covered under the war ranty.

To connect an answering machine

or extension phone to the fax, first remove the seal covering the TEL. SET jack on the fax, and then insert the line for the answering machine or the extension phone into the TEL. SET jack. For an answering machine, the other end of the line should be connected to the answering machine’s telephone line jack, not its extension phone jack .

If desired, you can connect an answering machine to the fax first, and then connect an extension phone to the answering machine’s extension phone jack.

Connecting the fax to your computer

The Multifunction Interface kit which comes with your fax machine allows you to use your fax as a printer and scanner, and lets you perform fax operations from your computer via the fax modem in your fax machine. Follow the steps below to connect the PC Interface box and cables.

Important:

Use only the provided interface cable and modular plug cable.
