Muratec fax machine! We know you want to use your machine now, without first having to climb over a mountain of jargon.
So we've divided these instructions into three sections. · "Getting started" (see page 1.1) covers only what you absolutely have to know to use your machine
immediately. · "Beyond the basics" (see page 2.1) provides more details.
When you have time, look through it to learn more about your machine's many features, as well as fax in general. · Finally, "Just in case . " (see page 3.1) will
help you decide what to do if you ever have a problem with your machine. It also tells you how to give your machine the kind of easy, sensible care that should
help keep troubles to a minimum.
The next two pages show the entire contents of these instructions. Skim through them now if you'd like (they'll prove more helpful as time passes), or just go on
past them to "Getting started" and, well, get started! And thanks for choosing Muratec. Find your serial number and write it down Before you go any further,
please note that your machine's serial number is located on the bar code label as shown on the drawing at right. It's probably a good idea for you to copy this
down before you set up your machine. Use the blank at the bottom of this column. IC and ID Note: The IC label and ID label, required by government
regulations, do not contain serial number information. label Bar cord label Laser printer label Close up, the bar code label looks something like this:

10 Sending faxes 1.12 Receiving faxes 1.17 Making copies . 1.19 A quick introduction to fax in general What's a fax document? Simply put, a fax document is
anything a fax user wants to fax to someone else. It can be just one page or as many pages as you need. That's up to you. It can be text, a photograph or even
your child's latest drawing! What's a fax number? Because your fax operates on standard phone lines, a fax number is just a regular phone number. And,
because your fax is also a high-quality, full-featured telephone, your fax number can be your regular phone number -- just add an optional handset to your
fax. Or you can dedicate a phone number to your fax, letting you use one number just for ordinary voice calls and one just for fax.
What are resolution and grayscale? Just as cars are measured by engine size, and stereo systems are measured by watts per channel, so fax machines are
measured by resolution and grayscale. Resolution refers to the sharpness of a fax transmission. It's expressed in lines per inch (lpi). An international agency
has defined three specific levels of resolution: · Normal (203 × 98 vertical lpi) · Fine (203 × 196 lpi) · Superfine (203 × 392 lpi). Similarly, one can judge a
fax transmission by its number of grayscale levels, or shades of gray -- really, halftones such as you might see in a newspaper photo.
It's likely most of your fax documents will be dark text on white paper. However, when you want to send photographs and other shaded items, you can set your
fax machine to transmit in 64-level grayscale. So why not always set your fax machine for superfine, or for grayscale? Because these settings make your
machine send more information, making transmissions last longer and (on long-distance calls) driving up your phone bills. That's why, as you'll see, we've
made it easy for you to set your fax machine for the most efficient, and truest, transmission of the types of documents you send! 1.

communicate PC-CONNECT light -- Glows when your fax using the PC-FAX feature (see page 2.
42). HOLD/DIALING OPTIONS -- Either places a call on hold or takes it off hold. It also produces a special character during dialing and inserts special
symbols into telephone numbers (see page 2.8). light -- If glowing, indicates a problem has occurred during fax communication, printing or scanning. (It's
also accompanied by several beeps immediately after the problem occurs.) The light stays lit until the machine prints a Check Message report. ALARM AUTO
ANSWER -- Selects which mode your fax machine uses to handle incoming calls: answering automatically as a fax machine (auto-answer mode) or waiting
for the user to pick up an optional, connected handset (manualanswer mode). The AUTO ANSWER light next to this key will glow when auto-answer mode is
the current choice. MEMORY TRANSMIT -- Selects which transmission mode your fax machine uses, whether from memory or from the document feeder.
If the MEMORY TRANSMIT SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX -- Starts a speed-dialing operation, which you finish by pushing three of the keys on the numeric
keypad. Also displays one-touch and speed-dial entries sorted alphanumerically, as in a telephone directory. REDIAL/PAUSE -- Redials the last number you
dialed. In certain operations, it also produces a special pause character which can be useful during the dialing of long-distance numbers. Numeric keypad --
Just like the numeric keys on a regular tone-dialing phone.
In addition to dialing phone and fax numbers, they also enter numbers when you're making certain settings. One-touch keys -- The keys labeled AZ and U1U4
offer one-touch dialing convenience. You also can use the keys labeled P1P6 for programmable functions: this lets you teach your machine an advanced multi-
step function just once, then recall the function at any time by pressing one of these keys. Finally, you can use these keys to type in letters and symbols for
your user settings. light next to this key is glowing, your machine will scan documents into memory before trying to send them.
Otherwise, your fax machine will send straight from the feeder, which is slower and also prevents others in your office from using the fax until your
communication is absolutely complete. 1.4 Getting started 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 START COPY STOP -- Begins a manual fax
transmission or reception. You're in control! We've worked hard to make sure your fax machine is easy for you to use. Let's make sure there's no confusion
about how to operate it. Below are simple operating tips: To press: 0 (zero), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, # or * Use: The numeric keypad. Tip: At no other time
within this manual will we refer to the letters printed below the numeric keys and their uses (such as accessing abc by pressing the 2 key.) These letters are
there only for your convenience in using your fax machine as a telephone. To press: A, B, C, D or any other letter key Use: The one-touch key by that name.
Tip: Please don't confuse the zero (0) with the letter O.
Here's an example. If we say "press PROGRAM, 7, ENTER, 0, 8, ENTER" you'd press PROGRAM . then 7 . then ENTER . then 0 (the numeric key zero) . then
8 . and then, finally ENTER Important: Although our example above includes commas, do not enter them into the fax machine. Those characters appear in
our instructions to separate one number from the other, and are not intended for actual entry by using your control panel. There is a function (broadcasting)
which requires the entry of commas, but there is a special way to enter them. We will explain this process when the time comes.
-- Press this key to make one copy, or multiple copies of a document. -- An all-purpose "Whoa!" key. Stops the current operation, ejects a document from the

-- Lets you quickly disconnect a call and go right to the next one without having to hang up the handset. FLASH STAMP -- Press this key to set the machine
to stamp each page of the original document automatically when the machine transmits it.
The STAMP light next to this key glows when this operation is activated. -- Press this key to turn on (or off) the confirmation report feature for the next fax
transmission. If the REPORT light next to this key is glowing, your machine will print the confirmation report for the next fax transmission only. Otherwise,
your machine will disable the printing. REPORT ENTER -- Much as STOP is a "Whoa!" key, ENTER is a "Go!" key.
It confirms user settings, begins operations and moves through command levels. CANCEL -- Press this key to delete characters on the LCD and cancel
commands you have entered into the machine. -- The right arrow button scrolls (moves) through features and command options displayed on the LCD. --
During on-hook dialing, it turns the monitor speaker off or on. When it's on, it allows you to hear the call you're making. When using this feature, you can
only hear the communication taking place. You cannot be heard unless you are using a handset (optional). When you're sending a fax, this key also activates
the call request feature. MONITOR/CALL -- The left arrow button scrolls through features and command options displayed on the LCD. COM-OPTIONS --
Chooses from among five fax options: delayed transmission, relay broadcast, polling, F-code transmission or F-code polling.
PROGRAM -- Any function can be started by first pressing this key and then entering the function number. BROADCAST -- Helps you send a broadcast fax
(sending the same document to more than one location). CONTRAST -- When a document is in the document feeder, press this key to toggle among normal,
dark or light contrast settings. RESOLUTION -- When a document is in the document feeder, press this key to toggle among the three resolution modes and
the halftone (grayscale) mode. 1.5 Getting started Setting up 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. (Still, 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. Its vents must be able to "breathe.
" · Away from direct sunlight -- This helps avoid overheating. · Dry -- Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water fountain) could
reach your fax machine. · Level, and vibration-free. · Near a phone jack -- Your fax machine uses a standard ("modular") telephone jack, also known as an
RJ-11. · Near an AC power outlet -- The AC power cord is about 5 long when stretched to its limit (and that's not the way to handle a power cord).
Speaking of which . Install the printing supplies Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a laser print engine. The engine requires two types of
printing supplies (sometimes also called consumables): · The drum cartridge -- It yields 20,000 normal letter-sized printouts (see "Specifications," page AI.1).
By "normal," we're referring to the amount of text and/or graphics on each page.
This is based on an industry-standard test document. · The toner cartridge -- It yields 5,500 "normal", letter-sized printouts (see "Specifications," page AI.1).
Note: The toner cartridge included with your machine is a starter cartridge which yields 3,600 printouts (see "Specifications," page AI.1). Please purchase
regular, full-yield toner cartridges from your authorized Muratec dealer. Here's how to install these supplies. 1 Swing open the printer cover by pressing the
printer cover release. Powerful tips · Use a standard three-pronged 120 VAC outlet. · Make sure the outlet isn't controlled by a wall switch.
If it is, you'll risk inadvertent shutoffs of your machine, causing you to lose fax messages.

· Don't use an outlet which also is supplying power to a large appliance, such a refrigerator or air conditioner. Such high-consumption appliances can cause
"draw-downs" (temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on the circuit) which could damage your fax machine. · Use an electrical surge
suppressor, preferably one which guards both telephone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from damaging high-voltage
electrical surges. Voltage requirements: Power consumption: 120 VAC ± 10 %, 5060 Hz Standby Transmission 12W 37W Reception 373W Copying 372W
Maximum 396W 2 Unpack the drum cartridge from its box. Important: Shield the drum cartridge from light, especially strong light. Later, if you have to
remove the cartridge from the fax, immediately wrap it in a thick cloth to protect it from light. 3 Put the drum cartridge into the printer by aligning the
cartridge's protrusions with the slits inside the printer frame. Important: You must also reset the drum counter.
See "When you install a new drum cartridge ." (page 1.7). 1.6 Getting started Loading paper 4 5 Unpack the toner cartridge from its carton.
Then, holding the toner cartridge with both hands, shake it well as shown (note the arrows). 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. Your fax machine can hold up to 150 sheets of plain paper in
the multipurpose tray, and your machine will use it to print received faxes and make copies. You can also attach an optional paper cassette, which holds up to
500 additional sheets of plain paper. Contact your authorized Muratec dealer for more information on the optional paper cassette.
The following instructions tell you how to load the paper correctly, which will help to prevent paper jams and other problems. Loading the multipurpose tray
You may use either letter- or legal-sized paper in the multipurpose tray, but not both at the same time. Do not mix paper sizes in one tray. 1 Adjust the
multipurpose tray for the length of paper you plan to load. Pull slightly upward on the paper-length guide in the tray, then slide the guide to the slot (either
LTR or LGL) for the paper size you'll be loading. Important: You must set your machine to recognize the size of paper you've loaded (see page 1.8 for details).
Paper-width guide Paper-length guide 6 Swing the printer cover back down. Push down on a portion of the cover to lock the cover into its normal position.
Note: The fax machine will not work if the cover isn't closed properly.
When you install a new drum cartridge Important: Use this setting only when you are installing a new drum cartridge. Your fax machine keeps track of how
many pages go through the drum cartridge to let you know when the drum needs to be replaced. So, whenever you install a new drum cartridge, you must
"notify" the machine by resetting the drum counter. (Before resetting it the very first time, you'll have to finish installing the machine and then turn it on [see
page 1.8].) Here's how to reset the drum counter: 2 3 Slightly "fan" the paper you will be loading, to help ensure smooth feeding. Insert up to 150 sheets of
paper into the tray. Make sure the paper-length guide and the paper width guide now fit against the paper's edges. Important: To avoid paper jams, do not
refill this tray without first removing all of the paper in it. Do not add sheets to an already-loaded stack.
1 2 Press PROGRAM, J, 2, 0. The LCD will show: J20 Reset Drum Life Program/Enter Press ENTER to reset the drum counter. 1.7 Getting started Attach the
paper-handling parts 4 1 Attach the document tray by inserting it into the appropriate holes, as shown. Use the AC power switch to turn on your machine.
The markings are international standards: I means on, O means off. 2 Attach the paper hopper into the appropriate hole, as shown.

Press gently until the hopper won't go in any farther. Attach the document hopper by inserting its two pegs at a slightly upward angle into the appropriate
holes, as shown. Paper hopper Document hopper Setting the paper size for the multipurpose tray The multipurpose tray can hold either letter- or legal-sized
paper for your machine.
All you have to do is tell the machine which size the tray is using. Important: If you use a different size from the size you set here, the machine won't print. Be
sure to change this setting whenever you load another paper size. Note: The optional paper cassette uses only letter-sized paper. 3 1 Press PROGRAM, J, 0,
4, ENTER. The LCD shows the tray's current setting: Plug in and power up Paper Size: Letter Program/Enter If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step
3. Otherwise, proceed to step 2. 1 Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the LINE jack on the machine's rear side. Plug the other end of the cord into a
standard telephone wall jack, just as you would plug in a phone. Note: If you have purchased an optional handset, do not confuse its curled handset cord with
the uncurled telephone line cord.
Note: We'll get to the HANDSET and EXT.TEL jacks shortly (see page 1.9). 2 To change the setting, press PROGRAM once or twice until your chosen paper
size appears. In this example, we've chosen legal-sized paper: Paper Size: Legal Program/Enter 3 Press ENTER to save the setting. Adjust the monitor
speaker's volume You can set the volume of the monitor speaker, assuring that on-hook dialing will be as loud (or as soft) as you require. 2 3 1.8 Plug the non-
pronged end of the AC power cord into the AC power cord jack on the left side of the machine (as viewed from the machine's front). Plug the pronged end of
the AC power cord into a 120 VAC electrical outlet (preferably on a surge suppressor, as mentioned on page 1.6).
1 Press MONITOR/CALL on the control panel. You now should hear a dial tone, and the display will show: ** _ Tel Mode ** Important: If you don't hear a
dial tone, make sure your fax machine is plugged into a working phone line. Getting started 2 3 If the volume you hear is satisfactory, skip to step 4.
Otherwise, go on to step 3. Adjust the volume as you like: To turn the volume up, press .
To turn the volume down, press . The display, or LCD, indicates the volume. Here are the possible settings: 2 Using the plug mentioned in step 1, plug the
phone cable from your second phone into the EXT.TEL jack on the rear of your fax machine. ** Tel Mode ** Volume:s s s s s s ** Tel Mode Volume:s s s s **
Tel Mode Volume:s s ** = Loudest setting.
= Medium setting. ** = Low setting. For information on how to use a connected second phone with your fax machine, see "Receiving faxes," beginning on
page 1.17. 4 Press MONITOR/CALL again to hang up. Attaching an optional handset If you purchase an optional handset for your fax machine, it comes with
installation instructions. However, here is a summary of how to attach the handset. Important: Do not connect the handset directly to a telephone wall jack.
Connect the handset only to your fax machine as the instructions describe. Attaching a second phone Want to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!)
to your fax machine, so they can share the same phone jack? No problem.
Before we go further, let's explain the idea. You're plugging the second phone's phone line into your fax machine's EXT. TEL jack, not the wall phone jack. In
such a setup, only your fax machine connects to the wall. The second phone receives phone signals through your fax machine. Now, let's proceed . 1 2 3 Using
a small Phillips-head screwdriver, attach the handset cradle to the side of your fax machine using the screws included with the cradle. Plug one end of the
handset cord (it's curled) into the HANDSET jack on the rear of your fax machine. Plug the other end of the handset cord into the jack on the handset.

If connected to a phone line, your fax machine is now "off-hook.
" Note: The handset has a small "flash" button which you can press while holding the handset, putting the fax machine back "on-hook" until you can hang up
the handset properly in step 4. Place the telephone handset onto the handset cradle. The cradle will press the handset's "flash" button, hanging up the
handset. 1 If your second phone is already plugged into a wall phone jack, disconnect it from that jack, at the jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you'll need it in
step 2.
Note: If your telephone is a model which also requires AC power, as is true for the base of a cordless phone, don't unplug it from its AC power jack! 4
Installation complete! Now, see how our EasyStart feature will have you up and running within minutes. 1.9 Getting started EasyStart 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. (You can enter other settings later or change settings.
We'll explain in "Beyond the basics," beginning on page 2.1.) Important: At the end of EasyStart, your machine will print a list of its settings. So first, please
be sure you've correctly installed your machine and loaded recording paper into it (see "Setting up," beginning on page 1.6). 2 The name and fax number you
want to appear on your faxes -- Every fax page you send will arrive at the receiving machine with a single line of text at the very top of the page. Among other
things, this text will list a name and a fax number. The name must not be longer than 22 characters. Note: Incidentally, the fax industry term for this text is
Transmit Terminal Identifier (TTI). (Another term, Subscriber ID, refers to just the fax number in the TTI.
) Clearing settings before beginning Before using EasyStart, clear your machine's built-in user data memory, which stores settings. This insures the memory
will hold only your settings. Important: After you use EasyStart, please do not clear the memory again unless an authorized technician asks you to do so. To
clear the machine's memory: Using EasyStart to enter initial settings Important: Be sure your fax machine has paper before you begin EasyStart, since this
feature can print a list of settings at the conclusion. Important: If you press STOP during EasyStart, your fax machine will return to standby mode (its normal
condition) but will retain what settings you saved by pressing ENTER as described in these instructions. 1 Press PROGRAM, *, 2. The LCD now asks whether
you're sure about clearing the memory: 1 Clear User Settings Check Program/Enter Note: If you don't want to proceed, just press PROGRAM. Press
PROGRAM, I, ENTER. The LCD will display the current setting of the fax's built-in calendar/clock, with a cursor appearing under the first digit. Enter Time

2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the correct date and time, using a YYMMDD format for the date and 24-hour ("military") format for the time. For instance,
to set 8:30 PM on December 11, 1998, press 9 8 12 1 1 2 0 3 0, which results in: What do you want to do? EasyStart will want you to enter a little
information, so first, please determine the following before you begin: Enter Time '98 12/11 20:30 Note: Your fax machine automatically inserts the spaces
and date-slash. All you have to do is enter the digits. To change only one digit, press to move the cursor leftward, or rightward, to that digit. Then, enter the
correct digit.

to erase it. Then re-enter until the fax number is just as you want it. 8 9 Press ENTER to save the setting and continue. The LCD now indicates the type of
dialing, tone or pulse, for which your fax machine is set: Phone Type: Tone Program/Enter If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 11. Otherwise,
proceed to step 10. 6 7 Press ENTER to save the number. The LCD now asks you to enter the name you want to appear at the top of faxes you send. The name
may be up to 22 characters in length. Important: You enter letters and other non-numeric characters through the one-touch keys. 10 To change the setting,
press PROGRAM once or twice until your choice appears (here, we've changed the setting to Pulse mode): Phone Type: Pulse Program/Enter 11 Press
ENTER to save the setting.
Your Name _ :Upper You're all done! The word "Upper" means the machine is currently set for entering only upper-case letters. If you press R, the machine
will see it as an R (not an r). To change it so that pressing a one-touch key will produce a lower-case letter rather than an upper-case letter, press U2/abc.
The display will change to: Year 2000 compliance Muratec's entire current line, as well as every Muratec fax machine introduced in the last decade, is fully
tested and Year 2000 ready. Year 2000 compliance means that all programming or other actions needed to support the correct processing of date-related
fields prior to, during and beyond the turn of the century are completed have been tested and validated for the accurate and correct processing of date fields
and related logic for Muratec products.
Your Name _ :Lower This means pressing one-touch keys will enter lower-case letters: pressing R will produce an r (not an R) on the display. To switch back
for upper-case entries, press U1/ABC. To enter spaces, punctuation and symbols, press U3/SYMBOL. This lets you enter the blue characters shown on the one-
touch keypad. 1.
11 Getting started Sending faxes Some guidelines How big -- and small -- your pages can be While you'll probably be sending normal-sized documents most
of the time, you can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or one nearly 3 feet long! To be precise, the acceptable dimensions (width × length) are:
SINGLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION MULTIPLE-SHEET TRANSMISSION Maximum: 11.0 × 35.4 Maximum: 10.1 × 14.4 Minimum: 5.8 × 4.1 Minimum: 5.8 ×
4.1 Reviewing Contrast: The rightmost item appearing on the LCD (when there's a document in the feeder) is the contrast setting. You have three choices: ·
Normal ("NORM" on the control panel) -- Suited to most documents.
· Light -- Lightens up overly dark, "muddy" original documents. · Dark -- Darkens weak, "washed-out" images. Note: Until you become accustomed to using
the Light and Dark settings, you might tend to confuse them. Just remember what we say above -- "Light lightens" and "Dark darkens" -- to keep it straight!
Things not to put in your fax To avoid paper jams and damage to your machine, please don't insert: · Folded, curled, torn, wrinkled or very thin pages ·
Documents with staples, glue, tape, paper clips or still-wet correction fluid · "Sticky notes" (or documents with "sticky notes" attached) · Cardboard,
newspaper or fabric · Pages with duplicating carbon on either side · Credit cards or similar small, thick items Entering a pause character when dialing Your
fax machine provides special dialing characters which you may find useful.
You're reading an excerpt. Click here to read official MURATEC
F-98 user guide
http://somemanuals.com/dref/66255

We'll discuss most of them later (see page 2.8), but you may need to know now about the pause character. Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses,
and pauses can be useful also when you're dialing through special telephone exchanges. To insert a pause character, just press REDIAL/PAUSE (after you've
dialed at least one other character). -/ (the pause character) will appear on the display. Each pause you enter lasts for a factory-set five seconds (see
"Changing the pause length," next page, for how to change this setting).
For example, assuming the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9, REDIAL/PAUSE, 19725552009 dials 9 [5-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.
Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you're allowed in a number. Some thoughts on resolution, grayscale and contrast Reviewing resolution and
grayscale: · Normal resolution ("NORM" on the control panel) is suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings. · Fine resolution ("FINE" on the
control panel) is ideal for maps, moderately complicated drawings, floorplans or handwritten documents. · Superfine resolution ("S-FINE" on the control
panel; "S Fine" on the LCD) reproduces the detail of extremely complicated drawings or line art.
· Grayscale mode ("HALFTONE" on the control panel; "Gray" on the LCD) captures shades in photos and drawings. Note: If you send a fax in superfine,
certain fax models (especially older, nonMuratec models) will receive it only in fine mode. However, you can send a fax in grayscale mode to virtually any fax
machine currently in use. 1.12 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: How to insert a document 1
1 Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 5, ENTER. Set Dialing Pause Time (05-10): 05 If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
Adjust the document guides -- by sliding either of them to the left or right -- to fit the page (s) you'll be faxing. Your fax machine's automatic document feeder
will hold up to 30 pages. Note: Your machine's scanning width is 8.2. When you insert a letter-sized document, your machine scans the center 8.2 and sends it
unreduced (see pages 2.
32.4 for more on reduction). This means that there will be a 0.15 margin on each side of the page that your fax machine will not scan. If you're sending a
multi-page document, "fan" the pages slightly. The bottom sheet should extend just slightly from the others. Insert the document face up. The fax machine will
"grab" the first page of the document and position it for faxing. (If need be, readjust the document guides for the best fit.) The LCD will now show the
scanning width setting and the amount of memory available: 2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired length of the dialing pause.
Here, we've chosen nine seconds. 2 3 Set Dialing Pause Time (05-10): 09 Note: The length setting requires two digits, so there always must be a leading zero
for lengths other than 10 seconds. 3 Press ENTER to save the setting. Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail Telephone call-waiting signals can
stop fax transmission and reception. And, of course, any service -- such as voice mail -- which may intercept your calls can keep your fax machine from
getting fax calls.
If you must use only one phone line, please consult your telephone company for information on how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail
while using the fax machine. Document Ready A4 Memory100% Speaking of memory . Using memory transmission Your fax machine has a great memory!
Take advantage of it, and you could: Save Time. By using your fax machine's memory, you won't have to wait for your machine while it completes the
transmission. Simply scan your document into your fax machine's memory, and you can walk away with your original in hand.

Save Money. Here's a real money-saver on long-distance fax calls: if you're transmitting to another memory-equipped Muratec fax machine, your machine
will send the document directly into the other machine's memory and hang up! (The receiving machine then prints out your message from its memory after the
call has ended.) This cuts your actual on-line time to a minimum. Save Even More Money. Set up a delayed command (see pages 2.192.20) to send your
document to that other Muratec fax machine after hours, and you can save more money, because the line charges will be cheaper. You can set your fax to
always transmit from memory as a default. Adjusting the machine for larger documents If you're using larger documents, you can adjust the document hopper
and the document tray. Just flip the top up or down, as appropriate for your documents' sizes.
1.13 Getting started Note: Whether you decide to send your documents from memory or through the document feeder, you can override that choice one
transmission at a time by pressing MEMORY TRANSMIT before you send your document. After completing the communication, your fax will return to the
default setting. Note: Although it's probably best to transmit from memory, please note there are some documents that use up memory more quickly than
others. They include documents with many pages and documents with a lot of dark areas, since darker pages create more data for your fax machine to
"remember" and send. When the machine's memory supply is full, it can transmit only through the document feeder. To make memory transmission the
default: 4 Enter the fax number. (In fax terms, you're calling the remote fax, on its remote fax number.) Press Start 919725552009_ As you can see, you also
enter any access codes (such as a 9 for "dialing out" from an office telephone system, or 1 for long-distance) along with the number, just as you would for a
regular phone call. 1 Press PROGRAM, J, 1, 3, ENTER.
5 6 Press START. Now, everything is up to the machines -- yours and the one you're dialing. · If you have set the fax to transmit from memory, your machine
will first scan the document into memory, then dial the other fax. When it makes contact, your machine transmits the stored document from memory. · If the
fax is set for non-memory transmission, your machine simply dials the other fax.
When it makes contact, your machine feeds the document through, scanning and transmitting it as it goes. Note: The more "stuff" (or black coverage, to use
the fax term) your machine "sees" on a page, the more slowly the page will feed through as the fax scans it -- especially when you transmit in non-memory
mode. Even if the page itself is relatively clean, sending it in grayscale mode or certain resolution settings makes your machine "see" more "stuff." The same
is true if you set the contrast to Dark. Note: What if the call fails for some reason? See "If the call doesn't go through -- redialing," next page.
Important: If you wish to cancel a transmission while it is in progress, you will need to use the Review Commands function. See "An introduction to Review
Commands," page 1.16. Memory Tx: On Program/Enter If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3. Otherwise, proceed to step 2. 2 To change the
setting, press PROGRAM once or twice until your chosen mode appears. In this example, we've chosen Off. Memory Tx: Off Program/Enter 3 Press ENTER
to save the setting. Sending Here's how to fax a document: 1 Insert the document. When a document is in the feeder, the LCD shows the scanning width setting

14 Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary. If these are OK, skip to step 3. Otherwise, press RESOLUTION to change the resolution and/or press
CONTRAST to change the contrast. "Toggle" (switch on or off) memory transmission if necessary. If you want to use your default setting, skip to step 4.
Otherwise, press MEMORY TRANSMIT once to "toggle" memory transmission. 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 (called "onhook" dialing) or the optional handset. If the call doesn't go through -- redialing If your
call fails, and you dialed without using either the monitor speaker or an optional handset, your machine will automatically redial the fax call you just tried.
While in this Auto Redial mode, the machine can receive faxes and make as many as 50 fax transmissions. In this Auto Redial mode, your fax automatically
redials the number every few minutes (See "Making redial settings," next page) until one of the following happens: · It reaches the remote fax machine. · It has
automatically redialed the number for the last try (again, see "Making redial settings," next page). Note: If you used either the speaker or a handset, redial
manually (see below). Note: If the last try fails, your machine may print (and/or display) error messages.
For more information, see pages 3.63.10. 1 2 3 Insert the document. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.
If these are OK, skip to step 3. Otherwise, press RESOLUTION to change the resolution and/or press CONTRAST to change the contrast. Obtain a dial tone.
You can do this by either: · Activating the monitor speaker (by pressing MONITOR/CALL) . or . · Lifting an optional handset. In either case, the LCD shows:
** _ Tel Mode ** Redialing manually You can always redial calls manually. And remember you must redial manually if you used either the monitor speaker

Here's how to program the redial settings: An introduction to Review Commands To cancel either a transmission in progress, an automatic redial or a
delayed command, you'll use the Review Commands function. First, a short explanation . · Because your fax machine can store multiple commands in
memory, it keeps track of each command by assigning it a command number, like "C01." · Delayed commands, redial attempts and current fax transmissions
are all stored in your fax machine's memory and given a command number. The Review Commands function gives you the power not only to check on (review)
each command currently in your machine's memory but also to delete a command if you decide not to send the document. Note: Press STOP to cancel a
transmission in progress when you are transmitting from the document feeder. (You cannot use the REVIEW COMMANDS key.) 1 Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 7,
ENTER.
Set # Of Redials # (02-15): 02 If the number of redialings you see is acceptable, skip to step 3. Otherwise, proceed to step 2. 2 To change the setting, use the
numeric keypad to enter the desired number of redialings, as few as two or as many as 15. In this example, we've entered 03, for three. Set # Of Redials #
(02-15): 1 03 Press REVIEW COMMANDS. The LCD shows the first command, indicated by its command number and the phone number the command will
dial. If a command is in progress, that will be the first command the LCD shows: Important: Notice that you must enter a leading zero when setting a quantity
lower than 10. C01:5552009 Program/Cancel 3 4 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD now shows: Set Redial Interval Inter. (3-5): 3 If the redial

Otherwise, proceed to step 5. 2 3 4 5 6 If this is the command you want to cancel, skip to step 4. If this is not the command you want to cancel, proceed to step
3. Press PROGRAM to continue on to the next command in the command queue, then go back to step 2. Press CANCEL.
The LCD shows: 5 To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired length (in minutes). You may enter 3, 4 or 5. In this example, we've
chosen 4. C01:5552009 Check Program/Cancel If you do want to cancel this command, press CANCEL again. Set Redial Interval Inter.
(3-5): 4 6 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD now shows the next command. If you want to cancel it, too, go back to step 4. If you want to avoid
cancelling this command but do want to review other commands in the queue, press PROGRAM and go back to step 2. If you want to stop reviewing the
stored commands, press STOP to return the machine to standby mode. This function gives you enormous control over your machine's most powerful features.
For more information on the Review Commands function, please see page 2.20. 1.16 Getting started Receiving faxes Different ways to get the job done
Reception modes Your fax machine has two different reception modes -- Tel Ready and 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. 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 · On that line, you're using at least one other phone which is not connected to your fax machine and · You have
installed an optional handset on your fax machine. Answering calls manually -- for both reception modes In either reception mode, you can always answer
calls manually if you have an optional handset installed. Just pick it up, as you would if using a normal phone. In this mode: Your fax machine never answers
calls automatically. You must answer each call as described in "Answering calls manually -- for both reception modes" (this page, left column). To select Tel
Ready: If you hear someone speaking to you, use your optional handset to have a normal phone call. 1 2 If there isn't a document in the feeder, skip to step 2.
You're reading an excerpt. Click here to read official MURATEC
F-98 user guide
http://somemanuals.com/dref/66255

If there's a document in the feeder, press STOP so it will feed out. Press AUTO ANSWER once or twice until the Auto Answer light is off and the LCD shows:
If you hear distinctive fax tones ("beep -- beep -- beep -- beep"), press START and hang up the optional handset.
Your fax machine will begin receiving a fax. Note: Don't try to answer a call by pressing MONITOR/CALL. The monitor function is for on-hook dialing only.
Tel Ready Dec 11 1998 20:30 It's easy to make the switch To toggle between Tel Ready and Fax Ready (see page 1.18), turn off Auto Answer.
(To maintain Tel Ready as your default mode, just leave Auto Answer off.) Answering fax calls using another phone, not the fax machine If you have one
phone line ringing to several phones in your office and you have an optional handset attached to your fax, there's no need to run to the fax machine to answer
every call. If you happen to answer a fax call while you're at another extension within the same office, put the handset down, but don't hang up. Walk to the
fax machine and pick up the optional handset. Then press START.
After you press START, you must hang up both the fax machine's handset and the second telephone's handset. Because remote fax machines will wait several
seconds to hear reception tones from your unit, you have about 30 seconds to walk to your fax, pick up the handset, and press START. 1.17 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 number of rings (see page 2.5) and attempts fax reception. To select Fax Ready: When the paper runs out
Getting the word from your machine When the multipurpose tray in your fax machine runs out of paper, the machine beeps, the ALARM light glows and the
LCD indicates the multipurpose tray has run out of paper. 1 2 If there isn't a document in the feeder, skip to step 2. If there's a document in the feeder, press
STOP so it will feed out. Press AUTO ANSWER once or twice until the light is lit.
The display shows: Fax Ready Check Tray Paper Of course, your fax machine cannot print fax messages or copies without paper. However . Fax Ready Dec
11 1998 20:30 Receiving when out of paper If your machine runs out of paper while you're away, it will store up to 50 fax receptions (see the note, below) in
its memory. This is called out-of-paper reception. Then, when you refill the paper supply, the fax machine will print the stored messages automatically. This is
a useful feature, especially for overnight and weekend sessions. Note: How many pages (not receptions) your fax machine can store for out-ofpaper reception
will vary. It depends on your machine's memory capacity and it also depends on the types of documents being sent to your machine and the documents'
resolution settings. (See Specifications, page AI.1) 1.
18 Getting started Making copies One of the best things about your fax machine is that it doubles as a copier. This makes it easy for you to keep copies of your
important documents, such as insurance forms, receipts and letters. To make a copy with your fax machine: 4 Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired
number of copies for each page in the document. You may choose one ("01") to 99 copies. Here, we've chosen three copies.
1 Prepare the document just as you would for a fax transmission. Remember: · There are certain types of documents you never should insert into your fax
machine. (You might wish to review "Things not to put in your fax," page 1.12.) · The document can be up to 30 pages in length.
· If you're copying a multi-page document, "fan" the pages so that the bottom page extends just slightly from the rest. · Adjust your machine's document guides
to fit the document. Insert the document face up. (If necessary, re-adjust the document guides for a correct fit.) Press COPY. The LCD shows: # of pgs. to copy
03 Copy/Stop Note: The setting requires two digits, so there always must be a leading zero for quantities below 10 copies.

2.2 Beyond the basics Using 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 CODE key in combination with other keys to produce a wide variety of characters, as
well as regular letters and numbers.
Here's how to do it: Making settings for printing faxes You can set two parameters for printing received fax messages: · Print reduction rate · Reduction
margin You set all two in the same operation (see next page), but each deserves its own brief explanation. 1 When the machine prompts you to enter a name,
press CODE. The display will change to: Your Name _ :Code Print reduction rate Print reduction lets you set the machine to reduce a large incoming
document to a size which will fit on your paper. This setting doesn't affect copies you may make with your machine. To do this, use the copy reduction function
(see page 2.
4). Here are the options for both print reduction and copy reduction settings: 2 Consult the chart below and find the character you wish to enter. First
keypress 2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; [ = ] ? 4 @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O 5 P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ ¥ ] ^ _ 6 ` a b c d e

For example, to get a backslash (\) character, you'd press C, 8. (The blank areas for 2, 0 and C, 0 indicate where spaces occur.) ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , . / B É

rates down to a minimum of 75%. Tries to reduce printout to fit on one sheet of your selected paper size; if can't, prints the image at 100% size on two or
more pages. Performs no reduction.
(Due to the sender's TTI, this may print two pages when receiving a one-page fax document. See 97%, below.) Reduces an original so that the final printout of
a one-page document (if the original isn't larger than the paper in your machine) will be only one page long, despite the TTI. Provides slightly more
reduction. Provides even greater reduction. Helpful for certain international stationery sizes, as well as special applications. Turns legal-sized originals into
letter-sized printed copies. \ a o ¿ j ¢ ÷ ¢ £ Pt ¡ « » n 91% 81% 75% 3 To enter each character, press the indicated keys. Important: Remember that you also
can enter numbers through the numeric keypad and letters and other non-numeric characters through the one-touch keys in combination with the U1/ABC,
U2/abc and U3/SYMBOL keys. Note: If you make a mistake, press CANCEL to erase leftward.
Or, if you want to change just one character in the name, press to move the cursor leftward, or to move it rightward, to that character and press CANCEL to
erase it. Then re-enter until the name is just as you want it. Press ENTER to save the name. For best results . Athough it's convenient, the reduction feature
can't solve every situation.
(Also, the printout may omit a small bit of the image at the page break if the machine tries to reduce a legal-sized page onto letter-sized paper at any setting
other than 75%.) So, whenever possible, load the correct size of paper before receiving a fax (or making a copy) of that size. 4 2.3 Beyond the basics
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 length of the incoming message is shorter than the sum of (a) and (b), your machine prints the message on just one sheet; otherwise, it prints the
message on more than one sheet. Note: An Auto reduction setting and a reduction margin setting of 40mm will print most incoming faxes as single pages. Try
this combination first and then, only if you have problems with it, select different settings. Making settings for copying You can set three parameters for
copying: · Copy sort/stack -- Your fax machine can either sort or stack multiple copies of a document. If it stacks them, it will make four copies of a two-page
document as: 1, 1, 1, 1 -- 2, 2, 2, 2. If it sorts them, it will make four copies of the same twopage documents as: 1, 2 -- 1, 2 -- 1, 2 -- 1, 2. (If the sorting copy is
"Off", the fax machine will stack.) · Copy reduction rate -- Works the same way as the print reduction rate (see page 2.3 for more details). · Reduction margin
-- Serves the same purpose as the reduction margin for printing (see earlier information on this page).
You set both in the same operation, as with the printing settings. Note: The same options, in terms of both reduction settings and reduction margins, are
available for copy reduction as for print reduction. (If necessary, review the preceding discussion, "Making settings for printing faxes," beginning on page
2.3.) The difference, here, is that you probably are better off with a setting of 00 on the reduction margin. Adjusting the print settings 1 Press PROGRAM, J,
0, 2, ENTER.

75% Program/Enter Setting ECM Ever hear static on the line during a phone call? It's a real nuisance -- but, worse, it may ruin your attempts to
communicate via fax. This is because "line noise" can easily disrupt the flow of data from one fax machine to another.
That's why your fax machine gives you the chance of operating in Error Correction Mode (ECM). When two fax machines communicate while running in
ECM, the sending machine automatically checks the data, "block" by "block," as it sends. If the receiving fax machine can't verify the transmission, the first
machine will re-send as necessary. (Essentially, the sending machine asks, "Did you `hear' that segment?" and the other machine answers either "Yeah; go
on" or "No; try it again.") Note: While using ECM gives you a better chance of getting a fax document through a troublesome phone line, it also could slow
down the transmission time -- and increasingly so in proportion to how bad the phone line is. That's why we let you turn ECM on or off as you require. Note:
Not all fax machines have ECM. If you've activated ECM and then transmit to a fax machine not currently using ECM, there will no change in the fax
transmission from a usual, non-ECM transmission. 5 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD shows the current setting for the reduction margin: Copy

you that it can't accept that setting. 3 Press ENTER to save the setting.
2.5 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 setting mutes the ringer, the alarm and the key-touch tone. · Ringer -- This mutes the ringer and a special ring alerts you if you receive a voice call
and a call request call. · Alarm -- This mutes the alarm your machine makes when an error has occurred, the "I'm done!" beep your machine makes after
sending or receiving a fax or making a copy, and the beep your machine makes at one-minute intervals to remind you your caller is waiting. · Key-touch tone
-- This mutes the tones your machine makes when pressing the button on the control panel. Note: Let's say it again -- silent mode mutes the ringer as well as
the beep and the key-touch tone. So, if you're using your fax machine as both a fax and phone (with the optional handset), you may not wish to use this feature.
Note: Of course, turning on the silent mode on your fax machine won't turn off ringers on other telephones in your house or office. Similarly, other phones
won't distinguish between fax and voice calls.

key-touch tone to be off, select "On" and the machine will be quiet.
Otherwise, the machine will sound. Silent Mode: On Program/Enter Note: Don't be confused. If silent mode is On, the machine will be quiet. If silent mode is
Off, the machine will ring and beep as usual. (In other words, the Off/On refers to the silent mode setting, not to the sound itself!) 9 Press ENTER to save the
setting. 3 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD now asks whether you want the ringer to be off or on: Ringer Silent: Off Program/Enter If the setting you
see is acceptable, skip to step 5. Otherwise, proceed to step 4. 2.6 Beyond the basics Setting the transmission confirmation stamp You can set your fax
machine so that it will automatically place a small stamp mark on the front of each original document that it successfully scans.
Important: Be sure that this feature is turned off if you are sending original documents you don't want the fax to stamp. Printing your settings After you have
your machine set as you want, have it print a settings list. We recommend this particularly if you'll be sharing the machine with other users, who might change
the settings for one reason or another. With this list, you can quickly confirm that all settings are as you want, without having to go back and check them on
the machine.
