Points to keep in mind when setting up

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.

10

Use the handset to make ordinary phone calls, or to transmit and receive faxes manually.

11

Connections

Connecting the power cord

Plug the power cord into a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded AC (3-prong) 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 in 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 spe- cialty stores.

Registering through OpenLCR???s Web site

You can also register at OpenLCR???s Web site, www.OpenLCR.com. After registering you will need to receive the rate data manually (service is not activated until your fax receives the rate data). See

Downloading (receiving) the rate data manually on the following page.

If you move, you must re-register!

The rate data that you receive is based on the address you provide when registering with OpenLCR. If you move, the rate data will not be correct for your new location. In this case, repeat the registration procedure to give OpenLCR your new address.

Note: If you wish to connect more than one OpenLCR-enabled device to the same line, please call OpenLCR at 970-206-1207. If you replace an old OpenLCR-enabled device with a new one, you must re-register with OpenLCR to use the new device.

Fax transmission test

Even if you are not ready to register for OpenLCR service, we recommend that you test your fax setup by filling out Section A of the

Fax Transmission Test and OpenLCR Line Activation Form and faxing it to OpenLCR as shown below. The test is free of charge and does not place you under any obligation to register with OpenLCR.

???If the test sheet is successfully transmitted, it will be faxed back to you on the same connection. This lets you confirm that your setup is okay.

???After receiving the test sheet, the current date and time will automatically be programmed in your fax machine. This saves you the trouble of setting the date and time in the fax yourself.

1 Place the form with Section A face down, and push it gently into the document feeder of the fax machine.

The display will show:

READY TO SEND

2Press the OpenLCR key, the 5 key, and then the START/MEMORY key.

The fax machine will automatically call OpenLCR within the next 24 hours to receive new rate data; however, if you want to use OpenLCR service before that time, you should download the rate table manually as explained on page 39.

???We recommend that you do not unplug the fax machine on a regular basis (for example at night or on the weekends), as this will result in a large number of calls to OpenLCR and a higher phone bill depending on where you live.

41

Setting Up and Using OpenLCR

The following table shows marks related to OpenLCR that may appear in the display.

OpenLCR has been activated and is ready for use.

OpenLCR cannot be used because the rate data has been erased. Your fax will automatically call

OpenLCR within the next 24 hours to receive new (Blinking) data, or you can download the data manually if you

need to use OpenLCR immediately. See

Downloading (receiving) the rate data manually on page 39.

The rate data in the fax is no longer correct and the fax cannot connect to OpenLCR to obtain new data. See What to do if ???E??? appears in the display on page 45.

OpenLCR has been temporarily turned off. See

Temporarily turning off OpenLCR below.

Rate data was not yet available when your fax called OpenLCR. Your fax will automatically call OpenLCR again when the rate data is available. Until that time, long distance calls will be routed through your primary carrier.

Your fax did not receive rate data because OpenLCR was unable to identify it by Caller ID. To remove the ???H??? display, press the OpenLCR key followed by #, 1, 8, 4, and #. To receive OpenLCR service, you will need to contact your phone company and allow it to send your Caller ID information when you place calls. After this, register once again with OpenLCR.

When you have received a document in memory, FAX RX IN MEMORY will appear in the display, alternating with OUT OF PAPER, FILM END, or PAPER JAM. When you add paper, replace the imaging film, or clear the jam, the stored documents will automatically print out.

???If you received documents in memory because the fax ran out of paper, be sure to add paper which is the same size as the paper previously used. If not, the document print-out size may not match the size of the printing paper.

Caution!

???When documents are stored in memory, do not turn the power off. This will erase all of the contents.

???If documents received in memory are lost due to a power failure or other interruption in the power supply, a CLEAR REPORT will be printed out when the power is restored. This gives information about the receptions lost, including the fax numbers of the transmitting machines if they are available.

5. Making Copies

Your fax machine can also be used to make copies. Single and multiple copies (up to 99 per original) can be made, enabling your fax to double as a convenience office copier.

Making Telephone Calls

Comments:

???While the handset of the fax is lifted (off hook), an extension phone connected directly to the fax cannot be used to speak with the other party.

???The fax may interrupt a voice call received on an extension phone if the reception mode is set to A.M. and there is a period of silence during the conversation. If you are on a touch-tone phone, you can prevent this by pressing any three keys on the phone immediately after you answer. (Note: Do not enter the code to activate fax reception: 5, * , * .)

Chain Dialing

After lifting the handset, you can dial any combination of Normal Dialing, Rapid Key Dialing and Speed Dialing numbers. For example, if you have stored an area code or an access code for a special service in a Rapid Key, you can press the Rapid Key for that area code or access code, then dial the remainder of the number by pressing a Rapid Key, pressing number keys, or pressing the SPEED DIAL key and entering a two-digit Speed Dial number.

Searching for an auto-dial number

You can use the HOLD/SEARCH key to search for a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number. First search for the number as described in

Searching for an auto-dial number on page 68, then pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER key. The number will be dialed automatically (do not press the START/MEMORY key).

Redial

The last number dialed can be redialed by pressing the REDIAL key (it is not necessary to pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER key). When the other party answers, pick up the handset to talk.

Hold

You can put the other party on hold during a conversation by pressing the HOLD/SEARCH key. When this is done, they cannot hear you. You can put the handset back in the cradle without breaking the connection. When you are ready to speak with them again, pick up the handset. If you did not put the handset back in the cradle, press the HOLD/SEARCH key again to resume conversation.

Connecting an Answering Machine

Changing the outgoing message

The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start key. For example, your message might go as follows:

"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."

???Try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing.

???If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic dialing is used.

89

Connecting an Answering Machine

2Set your answering machine to auto answer.

???Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of two rings. If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialing.

???If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that it will answer by the fourth ring.

Note:

If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see page 76). If they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.

How the connection operates

While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax will quietly monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax tone or a duration of silence greater than four seconds, it will take over the line and begin reception.

When you return and turn off your answering machine, be sure to change the reception mode back to FAX or TEL!

Fax when Answering machine Fails

When this function is turned on, your fax will answer the call after 5 rings if the answering machine for some reason fails to answer before that time. This ensures that you will receive fax messages even if the answering machine???s tape fills up or the answering machine is not turned on.

This function has been turned off at the factory. If you want to turn it on, follow the steps below:

Carcinogenicity : In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Groupe 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between carbon black and lung tumors.
