FOREWORD
A Word to the Owner of the FAX-30
FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for purchasing the FURUNO FAX-30 Facsimile
Receiver. We are confident you will discover why the FURUNO name has become
synonymous with quality and reliability.
For over 60 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for
quality and reliability throughout the world. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our
extensive global network of agents and dealers.
Your equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine
environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless properly
installed and maintained. Please carefully read and follow the operation, installation and
maintenance procedures set forth in this manual.
We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our
purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO.
Features
Connected to a NavNet series display unit (MODEL 1833C/1943C, MFDBB, MFD8/MFD12)
or a PC, the FAX-30 receives facsimile images and navtex messages, transmitted from
facsimile and navtex stations.
• Programmed with all existing facsimile stations and frequencies. User may program 320
channels.
• Fully automatic facsimile operation with built-in schedule timer. Storage for 30 timer
programs.
• Fully automatic selection of speed, IOC, phase alignment and frequency. Manual
selection also available.
• Connection to printer via a PC to print facsimile images and navtex messages.
• Facsimile images in monochrome, gray scale (8 tones) or color (three patterns).
• Built in navtex receiver. (The receiver does not conform to GMDSS regulations.)

viii
Operational Characteristics
General
• The equipment receives one facsimile image or naxtex message at a time. Thus, a
navtex message cannot be received when a facsimile image is being received and vice
versa, regardless of navtex message category.
• Three receiving modes are available, facsimile, navtex, and facsimile(timer) & navtex.
When using the facsimile(timer) and navtex, the order of priority is
Facsimile(timer) (highest priority) →Navtex (lowest priority)
• The FAX-30 does not have an internal clock, so time is input from a NavNet display or the
PC. (For a PC-only configuration, time data is read when the browser accesses the
FAX-30. Therefore, turn on the FAX-30 before accessing it from the PC to allow for input
of time data, which is necessary for facsimile timer recording.) To receive time data, do
the following:
NavNet®: Output the date and time data sentence ZDA through the NavNet® network.
PC: Set the PC’s clock to the correct time.
• If both a NavNet® series unit and a PC are used, it is recommended to operate the
FAX-30 from the PC because of the two different communication protocols. (Use the
NavNet® series unit to feed navigation data to the PC.)
• Navigation data must be fed through the network to use the automatic navtex mode.
Therefore, this mode is not available in the PC-only configuration.
NavNet®
• The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the NavNet® for 15 seconds after the FAX-30 has
been turned on.
• NavNet® requirements:
Navionics: Ver. 15, Boot Ver. 2 (1950006002)
C-MAP: Ver. 11, Boot Ver. 2 (1950006002)
NavNet3D®
The FAX-30 cannot be accessed when it is starting up, because image data is being loaded.
You can access the FAX-30 when the LED flashes 0.4 seconds every 2 seconds, which
starts approximately two minutes after the power is turned on.
PC
• The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the PC while the FAX-30 is loading data at start up.
Wait until the POWER LED flashing interval changes from 0.4 to two seconds before
accessing the FAX-30.
• Most operating procedures in this manual are written for use with the Internet Explorer.
Menu items, control button names, etc. may be different on the Netscape Navigator.
