Note: Please dispose of the used rolls properly. 7 Remove the new ink film roll from its packing. 8 Insert th[...]

1.11 Getting started When you install a new ink film Important: Use this setting only when you are installing a new ink film. Your fax machine indicates the ink film remaining by pressing FILM (see page 1.5) to let you know when it needs to be replaced. So, whenever you install a new ink film, you must “notify” the machine by resetting the film[...]

EasyStart is already installed on your fax machine. Use it to guide you in entering the bare-bones settings required for normal operation. If necessary, you can always make changes to these settings later.

1.16 Getting started Contrast Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or dark - ness in the documents you send or copy. You have three choices: • Normal — Suited to most documents. • Light — Lightens up overly dark, “muddy” original documents. • Dark — Darkens weak, “washed-out” images. Note: To[...]

1.17 Getting started How to insert a document 1 Adjust the document guides by sliding them to the left or right to fit the docu - ment(s) you are faxing. Your fax machine’s automatic document feeder ( ADF ) will hold up to 30 pages. 2 If you are sending a multi-page document, “fan” the pages slightly. The first sheet should extend just slight[...]

1.18 Getting started 3 Dial the fax number. • Enter the fax number by using the numeric keypad and then press START . … or … • Use one-touch dialing (see page 2.8). … or … • Use speed-dial dialing (see page 2.10). … or … • Use the EasyDail directory (see page 2.13). 4 Now, everything is up to the machines — yours and the one y[...]

The document will finish feed- ing through the ADF . • If you are using a memory transmission, the LCD shows a comm[...]

Different ways to get the job done Reception modes Your fax machine has four different reception modes — Tel Ready, Fax Ready, Tel/Fax Ready and Ans/Fax Ready — each of which we’ll explain in a moment. We’ll also give you an idea of which one you should use, depending upon your setup. Answering calls manually — for all reception modes In [...]

Tel/Fax Ready mode Use it if: You use your machine not only as a fax but also as a telephone. In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain num- ber of rings (see page 2.4) and if you receive a voice call, alerts you with a special ring. The Tel/Fax Ready reception mode is a mix between the Tel Ready and Fax ready modes.[...]

1.23 Getting started Ans/Fax Ready mode Use it if: You are using an answering machine connected directly to your fax machine. In this mode: An answering machine externally connected to your fax machine answers each incoming call. If a voice call comes in, the answering machine will begin to record the incoming message. If the fax tone starts, your [...]

You can make copies from your fax machine by using either the feeder or the machine’s memory. Copying from feeder Use this mode to make a single copy. Note: When you make a copy from the feeder, you cannot select the normal resolu- tion. To make a copy from feeder: 1 Insert the document face down . Adjust the document guides for a correct fit. 2 [...]

Your fax machine’s autodialer stores your most frequently called phone and fax numbers so you don’t have to remember them. The autodialer also makes it easy to dial even the most complicated international calls! Autodialer basics How do you autodial? There are two kinds of autodialer numbers. The difference between the two is how you “call th[...]

Using one-touch numbers As indicated previously, your fax machine will store up to 15 one-touch numbers by using the keys marked A – O .

The LCD shows: 3 Use the numeric keypad to enter the two-digit identifier (such as 05, in this [...]

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 (either phone or fax).[...]

Beyond the basics 2.14 Delayed transmission Take advantage of lower evening and weekend long-distance rates with delayed transmission. Your fax machine can store up to 30 delayed commands, each of which you can program up to 31 days in advance. Important: If you program a full 30 delayed transmission commands, no further memory transmission is poss[...]

Reviewing or canceling delayed commands If you have stored a delayed command in your fax machine, it will hold it in mem- ory until it either completes the command successfully or reaches its maximum number of redial attempts (see page 1.19). Your machine can store up to 30 delayed commands. It identifies each by a two-digit command number ranging [...]

Beyond the basics 2.16 Broadcasting The basics of broadcasting The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is broadcasting . You can use broadcasting from any function requiring the entry of a fax number! That means you can perform delayed broadcasting (see right column) and even broadcasting to “hub” units for relay broadcast initia[...]

Relay broadcast initiation Relay broadcasting is a powerful function that takes advantage of a remote “hub” to reduce your total communication costs. A “hub” fax machine is one to which you send a document, which in turn relays it to other machines which you do not actually call. The “hub” performs a relay broad- cast, and the machine w[...]

7 Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and time when you want to begin initiating the relay broadcast. Here we set the transmission to occur on the 14th at 2:00 PM : 8 When the entry is complete, press ENTER . The LCD shows the fax number you entered in step 5. 9 Press START . If, in step 6, you chose an immediate relay broadcast in[...]

Beyond the basics 2.19 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. • Sequential polling — Retrieves a document from several remote fax machines. • F -code polling — R[...]

Beyond the basics 2.20 Important: Do not insert a comma after the last fax number. Note: If you enter characters by mistake, just press CANCEL to clear them before proceeding. 6 To perform the sequential polling now, skip to step 10. To perform delayed sequential polling, proceed to step 7. 7 Press COM - OPTIONS , COM - OPTIONS , ENTER . The LCD sh[...]

If you want to enter or change this F -code box’s name, proceed to step 7. If you do not want to enter or change t[...]

Beyond the basics 2.23 11 Depending on whether you already have an ITU - T password entered for your F -code box, the LCD shows briefly: then it will show either: or The machine is asking for your F -code box’s password. This is the password for ITU - T -compatible F -code fax transactions. (It is not an I . D . code for your machine. If you set [...]

Erasing an empty F -code box Important: You can only erase an empty F -code box. If the F -code box is holding any documents, you must first clear each document from the box. You can clear the F -code box by printing the documents it holds (see next page). To erase an empty F -code box: 1 Press PROGRAM , E , 4 . The LCD shows: 2 Press ENTER . The L[...]

Printing a document received in an F -code box When your machine receives a document via ITU - T sub-addressing from another fax machine, your machine will print a message alerting the person for whom the docu- ment is intended. Then the person has a certain number of days in which to print out the message before your machine erases it. (see step 1[...]

then it will show: Note: If you know that this subaddress does not have a password, skip to step 7. 6 Use the numeric keypad to enter the appropriate password.
