Here’s a brief description of the keys on your fax machine and what they do, as well as a look at your machine’s indicator lights and their meanings. Important: Some of the functions we’ll mention, here, are covered in the “Beyond the basics” section. 1 MEMORY RECEIVE light — If glowing, indicates your fax machine is receiving an incomi[...]

15 START — Begins a manual fax transmission or reception. 16 COPY — Press this key to make one copy, or multiple copies of a document. 17 STOP — An all-purpose “Whoa!” key.

1.6 Getting started Pick an installation spot before going ahead Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be: • Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover! See next item.) • In the open — Allow at least 12 ″ of clearance around your machine. Be sure that you never cover the machine: it[...]

4 Unpack the toner cartridge from its carton. Then, holding the toner cartridge with both hands, shake it well as shown (note the arrows). 5 Install the toner cartridge in the printer, making sure that the cartridge’s four pins (two each at the front and rear sides) fit in the slits inside the printer frame. 6 Swing the printer cover back down.

To turn the volume down, press . The display, or LCD , indicates the volume. Here are the possible settings: = Loudest setting. = Medium setting. = Low setting. = Volume [...]

1.10 Getting started Your Muratec fax machine comes with EasyStart. It guides you in entering the bare-bones settings required for normal operation — so it’s easy for you to start using your machine quickly. (Of course, you can make other settings later or change these settings. We’ll explain in “Beyond the basics,” beginning on page 2.1.[...]

1.11 Getting started 4 The LCD now asks whether you want to set the calendar/clock for automatic recognition of daylight saving time ( DST ). When the setting is On, your machine automatically will set itself to DST or to standard time, depending upon the calendar setting, at 2 AM on the appropriate “switchover” Sundays each year. When the sett[...]

1.12 Getting started 13 To change the setting, press or / PROGRAM once or twice until your choice appears (here, we’ve changed the setting to Pulse mode): 14 Press ENTER to save the setting and continue. 15 One more thing to do!

1.13 Getting started Some guidelines How big — and small — your pages can be While you’ll probably be sending normal-sized documents the vast majority of the time, you can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or nearly 3 ′ long! To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are: S INGLE - SHEET TRANSMISSION M ULTIPL[...]

1.14 Getting started Changing the pause length The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long as ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause is satisfactory when you use it with your phone system, do not make this change. But, if you must: 1 Press / PROGRAM , J , 0, 5, ENTER . If the setting[...]

1.15 Getting started You can set your fax always to transmit from memory as a default. Note: Whichever choice you make, you can override that choice one transmission at a time by pressing MEMORY TRANSMIT . After completing the communica- tion, your fax will return to your desired transmission setting. Note: Although it’s probably best to decide t[...]

1.16 Getting started Sending a fax with on-hook dialing or a handset You also can fax a document by dialing using either the monitor speaker (This is called “on-hook” dialing) or the optional handset. Notes: On an F-150, faxing this way disables “V.34” mode and sends the fax in nor- mal ITU - T Group 3 fashion. 1 Insert the document. 2 Adju[...]

1.17 Getting started To redial a voice call (using the optional handset) manually: 1 Obtain a dial tone: either press MONITOR / CALL or lift the optional handset. 2 Press REDIAL / PAUSE . When the other person answers, speak to him/her on the optional handset. Making redial settings It’s up to you how many times the fax redials a number and how l[...]

1.18 Getting started So what’s the big deal, anyway?!? That may be what you’re wondering, upon seeing the title above. After all, telling you how to send faxes is one thing, but — as long as the fax machine is running and has paper installed — why spend time on explaining how to receive faxes? Well, you have a point. Still, there are just a[...]

1.19 Getting started Tel Ready mode: when Auto Answer is off Use it if: • You intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls and • You’re using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not connected to your fax machine and • You have installed an optional handset on your fax machine. In this mode: Your fax machine never an[...]

1.20 Getting started Fax Ready mode Use it if: You have your fax machine installed on a “dedicated” line (one it doesn’t share with a second phone). In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain num- ber of rings (see page 2.5) and attempts fax reception. To select Fax Ready: 1 If there isn’t a document in the fe[...]

Beyond the basics We’ve covered the “musts.” Now, let’s explore the goodies.[...]

Beyond the basics The EasyStart feature guided you through the “just-gotta” settings on your machine. In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings. Setting up for scans You can set parameters regarding how your fax machine scans documents for either faxing or copying: • Primary transmission mode — Gives you four ways to send faxes, e[...]

Using U 4/ CODE to enter characters Certain settings give you a chance to enter some kind of identifying name. As explained earlier (page 1.11), you can do this with the one-touch keys. But you may also use the U 4/ CODE key in combination with other keys to produce a wide variety of characters, as well as regular letters and numbers. Here’s how [...]

Reduction margin Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimeters (mm). We’ll define it by explaining how it’s used: When a fax message enters your machine’s electronic brain, the machine measures the message’s length and compares it to (a) the length of your selected paper plus (b) the reduction margin you set. If the lengt[...]

2.5 Beyond the basics 1 Press / PROGRAM , J , 0, 3, ENTER . The LCD shows the current copy reduction rate: If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3. Otherwise, proceed to step 2. 2 To change the setting, press or / PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen reduction setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen 75%. 3 Press ENTER to save [...]

2.6 Beyond the basics Setting silent mode If you and your fax machine share a quiet place, you’ll really appreciate being able to put the machine into silent mode. This mutes both the ringer and the “I’m done!” beep your machine makes after sending or receiving a fax or making a copy. Note: Let’s say it again — silent mode mutes the rin[...]

2.7 Beyond the basics Setting the language While English is the language in which your machine initially is set to display mes- sages and print reports, you can set it to “speak” French or Spanish, too! As you give the order for the machine to change languages, it “rolls” from English to French to Spanish and then back to English. To make t[...]

Beyond the basics Your fax machine’s autodialer is one of its most versatile features. It stores your most frequently called phone and fax numbers for instant recall so you don’t have to remember them. Now, it’s easy to dial even the most complicated international calls! Autodialer basics How do you autodial? There are two kinds of autodialer[...]

Beyond the basics characters (such as a long-distance DIALING OPTIONS (3 times), carrier’s access code) which must be in then / PROGRAM (once) DTMF tone. Do not use on a tone line. Considering call groups As we’ll explain more fully later, your fax machine can broadcast — send the same fax to numerous remote machines (see “Broadcasting,” [...]

Beyond the basics The machine now is prompting you for a name — a Location ID , remember? — so you’ll be able to find it easily in the EasyDial directory (see pages 2.15–2.16). If you do not wish to enter or change this number’s Location ID , skip to step 11. If you do wish to enter or change this number’s Location ID , proceed to step [...]

Beyond the basics 3 Toggle between transmission from the feeder or from memory if necessary, by pressing MEMORY TRANSMIT . 4 Press the one-touch key in which you’ve stored the number. The machine will handle the call from here, although the exact sequence of events will vary depending upon whether you specified transmission from memory or transmi[...]

Beyond the basics 2 Press the one-touch key in which you’ve stored the number. As the machine dials, it will show the number on the LCD : Note: Remember that your fax machine’s monitor speaker is not a speaker phone; so, if you dialed by using the monitor speaker, be sure to pick up the hand- set and speak to the other person when he/she answer[...]

Beyond the basics 5 Use the numeric keypad to enter the speed-dial number exactly as your machine should dial it, including whatever access codes your phone system may require. (You may want to review “Special dialing characters,” page 2.8.) The number can be up to 40 characters in length: Your display can show only 20 characters at a time. To [...]

Beyond the basics 12 The LCD now displays: or You may now designate up to 32 call groups to which this number will belong. (If necessary, review “Considering call groups,” page 2.9.) If you do not wish to change this number’s call group status, skip to step 14. If you do wish to change this number’s call group status, proceed to step 13. 13[...]

Beyond the basics Phoning via speed-dial To dial a phone call using a speed-dial number, you must have an optional handset attached to your machine. Here’s how to make the call: 1 Obtain a dial tone by doing one of the following: • Lifting the handset • Press MONITOR / CALL to use the monitor speaker 2 Press SPEED DIAL / TEL INDEX . The LCD w[...]

Beyond the basics EasyDial directory dialing The EasyDial directory dialing feature makes your autodialer even more like an electronic phone book. EasyDial sorts and displays numbers alphabetically accord- ing to their Location ID s, so you can easily find them and dial them. When the name you want appears, you just press START to begin a call (eit[...]

Beyond the basics As you’ve probably guessed by now, your fax machine is a dandy phone, too! Let’s see just how dandy by looking briefly at the machine’s telephone features. Important: All of the instructions on this page assume you have attached an optional handset to your fax machine. Redial Press REDIAL / PAUSE to — you guessed it! — r[...]

Beyond the basics The basics of broadcasting The fastest way to fax one document to multiple recipients is broadcasting — and your fax machine has very powerful broadcasting capabilities. You can use broad- casting from any function requiring the entry of a fax number! That means you can perform delayed broadcasting (see pages 2.21–2.23), Secur[...]

Beyond the basics Relay broadcasting and relay broadcast initiation Relay broadcasting is a powerful function that takes advantage of a remote Muratec “hub” fax machine’s memory to reduce your total communication costs. A “hub” fax machine is one to which you send a document, so the “hub” can relay it to other machines which you don?[...]

Beyond the basics 7 Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and time when you want to begin initiating the relay broadcast. When the entry is complete, press ENTER . 8 Press START . If, in step 6, you chose an immediate relay broadcast initiation, your fax machine will begin dialing the remote “hub” machine. However, if you request[...]

Beyond the basics Take advantage of lower evening and weekend long-distance rates with delayed transmission.

Important: If you program a full 99 delayed transmission commands, no further memory transmission is possible until th[...]

Beyond the basics Reviewing or cancelling delayed commands If you’ve stored a delayed command in your fax machine, it will hold it in memory until it either completes the command successfully or reaches its maximum number of redial attempts (see pages 1.16–1.17). Your machine can store up to 99 delayed commands. It identifies each by a two-digi[...]

Beyond the basics Printing a delayed command list Can’t remember some details about a delayed transmission command you set up? Or, let’s say, someone else in your office is the one who set it up, but now he or she has left for the night and you have no idea why the machine is “reserved” and how long it’ll stay that way! Fortunately, your [...]

Beyond the basics Broadcasting (see pages 2.18–2.20) gets the same document to multiple locations, but what about the reverse? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just stack several docu- ments into an electronic “basket” and then fling the entire contents of that basket via fax to one location? Well, you can: it’s called batch transmission.[...]

Beyond the basics 8 When the date and time are as you wish, press ENTER . 9 The LCD now displays: or The machine now is prompting you for a name for this batch box. If you do not wish to enter or change this batch box’s name, skip to step 11. If you do wish to enter or change this batch box’s name, proceed to step 10. 10 A batch box’s name ma[...]

Beyond the basics Entering the cover page message 1 Press / PROGRAM , K , 2, ENTER . 2 Now, use the one-touch keypad to enter a message for the cover page. The message can be up to 40 characters in length. You enter the message the same way you entered your fax name during EasyStart. We’ll review the process, here. (If you’re changing a previou[...]

Beyond the basics Setting the reports: TCR s and RCR s You can set your fax machine to print reports. There are two different reports: a transmit confirmation report ( TCR ) and a receive confirmation report ( RCR ). You can receive a TCR after sending a fax to any Group 3 fax machine, but the RCR function works only when you send a fax to a compat[...]

Beyond the basics Polling Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without the other person having to make (and pay for) the call. Your machine can perform: • Regular polling — Retrieves a document from the remote fax machine. • Database polling — (Possible only in communication with certain memory-equipped Muratec or Murata fax mach[...]

Beyond the basics Your machine will dial the number and, upon making contact with the other machine, begin receiving the file(s) as if the other machine had placed the call. Continuous polling To perform continuous polling from one or more remote fax machines: 1 Make sure that the document is actually sitting in the feeder of the remote fax machine[...]
