1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Di 150f and showing confidence in our prod-
uct. This machinehas a modern design and fulfils today's requirements of
a multi functional copy machine. It combines advanced technology with a
contemporary design .
The machine is authorised for use in the public telephone network and is
compatible to other fax machines of the communication standard 3.
The Di 150f was manufactured to the same high quality standards as is
common for all other precision instruments made by Minolta.
This manual will assist you in becoming familiar with the machine. It con-
tains all the necessary information for the start-up, its functions and the re-
placement of the consumables.
Please, always keep this manual to hand when using the machine.

1.2 How Does a Fax Machine Work?
A fax machine can be connected to a normal telephone system without
taking any special precautions, just like a normal telephone set. The func-
tion of a fax machine is quite similar to that of a telephone.
The way a fax machine works is simple: documents that are to be trans-
mitted are "read" by the take-up unit, the so-called scanner. Themachine
doesnot recognise theletters but reads thepicture, dot by dot, and marks
each dot as black orwhite. That iswhy you can not only transmit textsbut
also pictures and photos. The information is then digitised and com-
pressedsothatthefaxmachinecansenditquicklyoverthetelephoneline
to another fax machine which reverses the process, reading and marking
each dot as black or white on a sheet of paper.
When you are "called" by a fax machine, your telephone rings as normal.
Therefore you cannot know whether your are receiving a fax call or a tel-
ephone call before picking up the receiver.
At the beginning of a fax transmission you will hear shrill sounds. Those
sounds are the so called "hand shaking" and function as an introduction
sequence before the actual transmission, just as interlocutors - often - in-
troduce themselves at the beginning of a telephone call. In the introducto-
rysequencethe technicalfeaturesofbothmachinesarematchedto make
sure the transmission and the reception are conducted to a high standard.
With your Di 150f you do not need to listen to the introductory sequence.
How to program the machine accordingly will be explained later in this
manual. Furthermore you will also find information about the settings that
come with the machine, that have to be made when installing, or the set-
tings that can bemade at a later stage. Most of the features of the fax ma-
chine work independently, so that you can program only the settings you
need for the moment and ignore all others.
By the way,theword"fax" is a combination of theLatin "facere" (to make)
and "simile" (similar) describing the process of making a copy which is
similar to the original. This artificial word "fax" has nowadays become
widely accepted in everyday language, replacing the older term facsimile.
A copy is therefore to be made ”similar” to the original.
Now, enjoy your new fax machine.

1.3 Certificate for Machines with CE Marking
CTR21 Approval
Annex II
The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision
98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public
switched telephone network (PSTN).
However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in
different countries, the approval does not of itself, give an unconditional
assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination
point.
In cases of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the
first instance.
Annex III
Network Compatibility Declaration
This equipment has been designed to operate on the Public Switched
Telephone Network. The equipment requires a line with analogue signal-
ling characteristics. For further information, please contact your supplier.

Laser Safety
This fax machine contains a page printer which operates by means of a
laser. This machine does not impose any danger as long as it is used ac-
cording to the procedures described inthis manual. Thelaser is limited to
the interior of the machine. The environment is protected from the laser
emission by the covers of the machine.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum radiation: 7.3 x 10-³ (W) Wave length : 770-810 (nm)
The machine works with an invisibleclass IIIb laser. The printer head unit
is not field service item.
Ozone Release Warning
During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This
amount is not large enough to harm anyone. However, be sure the room
where the fax machine is being used hasadequate ventilation, especially
if you are printing a high volume of material or if the fax machine is being
used continuously over a long period.
