OperatingInstructions Muratec
A Quick Introduction
This brief overview will help you more quickly learn how to use your Muratecfax machine. Of course, please be sure you read the rest of the instructions, too!
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 a
page of text, a photograph, your child's latest drawing -anything you want to send.
So, what the term fax documentmeans is always your choice!
How Do You Send a Fax Document?
It's easy to send a fax document. Just place your document into your fax machine's
feeder, dial the appropriate fax number (see next item) and press the Start key.
(With one-touch numbers, you don't even have to press the Start key! See "How
Can You Send a Fax to a Frequently Called Number?" below.) The fax machines -
yours and the one you' re calling -will take it from there.
What's a Fax Number?
Since your fax machine operates on standard phone lines, a "fax number" is just a
phone number on which someone is using a fax machine. And, because your
Muratec fax machine is also a high-quality, full-featured telephone, your fax number
can be your regular phone number if you prefer. You can - but th is isn't necessary!
-dedicate a phone number to your fax machine, letting you use one number just
for ordinary voice calls and one numberjust for incoming and outgoing faxes.
How Can You Send a Fax to a Frequently Called Number?
Just as is true for many ordinary telephones nowadays, your Muratec fax machine
has a built-in autodialer. Th is handy device stores your more frequently called fax
numbers - so you don't have to remember them. Each stored number can include
long-distance codes, area codes and even pauses. Your Muratec fax machine can
save 20 of these autodialer numbers for you to dial by pressing just one key. These
are one-touch numbers. The remaining numbers are available for speed dialing,
which involves pushing just three keys to dial a stored number -for example, *O8
for your speed-dial number 8.
Muratee
How Can You Send a Fax to More than One Location?
There are three ways to send the same fax document to more than one place at a
time. -Well, only two ways you'd really want to try. (Obviously, you couldstay by
your fax machine and keep feeding the document overand over again, but your
Muratec fax machine is smart enough to make that unnecessary!)
1. You can put numbers in callgroups.These are groups of fax numbers which
the fax machine will "remember" belong together.
For example, put the fax numbers for your regional offices, or your best
customers, into a call group. Then, when you need to send all of them the
same document (say, an updated price list), just fax it to their call group.
The fax machine automatically will send the document to each number in the
call group.
2. You also can do broadcasting. This lets you send the same document to
as many as 109 different locations in one operation. You can broadcast to
individual fax numbers, your call groups or a combination of the two. This is
really a great labor- and brain-saver!
What's All This.About "Resolution" and "Grayscale"?
The sharpness of a fax transmission is measured by its resolution. This is
expressed in lines per inch (or lpi). There are three levels of resolution in the fax world.
In order of quality, they are: normal (203x 98 lpi), fine (203 x 196 lpi), and superfine
(203 x 3921pi).
Similarly,a fax transmission can be judged by the quantity of its grayscale
levels, or shades of gray -really halftones, such as you might see in a newspaper
photo. When you need this capability (such as when sending a photo), you want as
many grayscale levels as possible for maximum quality. Your Muratec fax machine
can transmit with either 16 or 64 grayscale levels -you decide which.
So why not always set your fax machine for superfine resolution, or for 64
grayscale levels? Because these settings require your fax machine to transmit
much more data, making your transmissions last much longer and (on those long
distance calls) driving up your phone bills. That's why -as you'll see -we make it
easy for you to customize the settings on your Muratec fax machine for the most effi-
cient and truest fax transmission ofthe types of documents you send!

EasyStart
Your Muratec fax machine comes with EasyStart - a quick introductory program
which makes it easy for you to enter the basic information necessary to get started
right away.
Important: You can always change any of these settings later, as you familiarize
yourself with your fax machine and your fax communications needs.
Also, be sure you have correctly plugged in your machine (see page 11)
before proceeding.
Clearing Memory
Before you use EasyStrut to enter information into your fax machine, it 'sbest to
cleru· its memory. The fax machine's user settings, protected by along-life battery
backup, store information such as your fax number and the date and time. Cleaiing
the memory ensures that only your information is stored.
To cl ear the fax machine'smemory, pre ss ~/Program,*, 2, Mode, Enter.
Using EasyStart to Enter Initial Settings

Operating Instructions Muratec
Setting Up Your Fax Machine
Phone and Electrical Requirements
Dos and Don'ts
Do place the fax machine near a wall outlet, so you can easily unplug it.
Do use an electrical surge protector. This will shield your fax machine from
high-voltage electrical surges that may damage it. Many surge protectors
guard both telephone and electrical lines.
Do plug your fax machine into a standard three-pronged 120 VAC electri-
cal outlet.
Do leave your fax machine plugged in so you never miss a fax. In standby,
your fax machine uses only about as much electricity as a clock radio.
Don't connect to a multi-line (PBX) office phone system without first check-
ing with your PBX's manufacturer or seNice representative.
Don't plug your fax machine into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall
switch; you' ll risk missing fax messages.
Don 't plug your fax machine into the same outlet as a large appliance such
as a refrigerator or air conditioner. High-consumption appliances can
cause electrical "draw-downs" -temporary drops in power available for
other equipment on the circuit -and could damage your fax machine.
Note: To disconnect the machine from the power, it is necessary to unplug
the power cord from the wa ll socket or remove the power cord from
the rear of the unit. For convenience, the unit must be install ed so that
easy access to the power outlet is provided.
Avertissement: Debrancher le cordon electrique a la fiche au dos de l'appare il ou a la
prise murale pour le mettre hors tension. La prise murale doit se
trouver pres de l'appareil pour un acces facile.
Voltage requirements and power consumption
Voltage Requirements: 120 VAC ± 10 , 50-60 Hz
Power Consumption: Standby 1 OW Transmission

Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. If you
must use only one phone line, consult your telephone company for informa-
tion on how to disable call-waiting seNice while using the fax machine.
Muratec
Quick Set-up
First, select apla ce within five feet of a standard three-pronged, 120 VAC electri-
cal outlet and a stan dard ("mo dular") telephone jack (an RJ -11).
1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver,
attach the handset cradle to the side ""
of your fax machine using the handset
cradle screws.
2. Plug the handset cradle's cord into
the HANDSET connection on the left
side of your fax machine. Plug one
end of the handset curl cord into the
jack on the handset cradle and the
other end of the handset curl cord into
the jack on the handset. Place the LINE mm N ANDSE '
telephone handset on the cradle. ~ ~ ~
3. Plug one end of the uncurled telephone
line cord into the LINE connector on
the left side of the fax machine.
Plug the other end into a standard
telephone wall jack. If you will be using
an answering machine or second
telephone with your fax machine,
plug the jack from that other device's
telephone line cord into the EXT. TEL
connector, also on the left side of the
fax machine. (See "Attaching a Second
Telephone or Answering Machine,"
page 15, for more information.)
Note: Do not connect the answering
machine or second telephone
directly into a telephone wall
jack. The other device now
receives its telephone signals
through your fax machine.

4. Check the Tone/Rotary setting on the
back of your fax machine. Select T for
tone or P for rotary or pulse dialing. - -- ----,
Note: If unsure which you should ~ ~ ~ - ~"-= -"-
select, contact your
telephone company.
5. Attach the document hopper by insert-
ing its two pegs into the appropriate
holes at a slight upward angle.
6.
12
When released, the document hopper
then will settle downward into place.
(See also "Adjusting the Document
Hopper," page 31.)
7. Assemble the document tray by bend-
ing its tabs in a curving motion behind
the tray until they pop into the slots
(similar to re-closing a cereal box).
8. Then position the fax machine on top of
the long "lip" of the document tray, hold-
ing the tray in place.
9. Plug the non-pronged end of the power
cord into the back of the fax machine,
as shown. Plug the pronged end of the
power cord's plug into a 120 VAC
electrical outlet (preferably on a surge
suppressor, as mentioned on page 11 ).

Installing Paper
Of course, one of the best features about your Muratec fax machine is how it prints
faxes and makes copies on plain paper! Now, everything that comes out of your
fax machine is ready for distribution or archiving from the start.
To in stall paper in your Muratec fax machine:
1. Pull forward on the paper cassette to
open it.
2. Gently press down on the spring-loaded
cassette plate until it "click-locks" onto
the bottom.
3. Insert up to 250 sheets into the cassette,
being sure to place the edges of the top
sheet under the metal tabs near the
handle-side of the cassette.
4. Push the paper cassette back into its
original, closed position within your fax
machine. (The spring-loaded cassette
plate will return to its normal, unlocked
position.) You'll feel a click when it's
properly in place.
Muratec
Changing Paper Size
It's easy to adjust your paper cas-
sette for either letter- or legal-sized

Changing Donor Film
Muratec
The Muratec Film Imaging system provides high-quality fax printouts and copies
on plain paper-and economically at that -using clean, easy-to-handle and easy-
to-load donor film. Here's how to change the film.
Note: Be aware that the donor film roll which ships with your fax machine is a
special, complimentary roll. A regular roll is more than three times longer.
This first roll is just to make sure you can use your fax machine right away!
1. Press the document mount
release button and open the
top of your fax machine.
2. Grab the handles on each
side of the donor film cartridge
and lift it straight up out of your
fax machine.
Important: Notice that the
diagram at right
shows a view from
the right rear side
of the fax machine,
not its front.

3. Turn over the donor film cartridge and
rest it upside down on its handles.
Take note of the color-coordinated
gears on the ends of the donor film
rolls. Grasp the cartridge frame firmly
and remove the donor film rolls from
the cartridge.
4. Remove the color-coordinated gears
from the ends of the used film rolls.
Please dispose of the used rolls in a
proper receptacle.
5. Insert the color-coordinated gears into
the ends of a set of new donor film
rolls. The blue gears belong with the
supply (full) roll, which will be near the
front of the machine -the film rolls
from front to back. The gray gears
belong with the takeup (empty) roll.
6. Snap the new rolls into the donor
film cartridge.

Important: You must turn the rolls
until only the black donor
film -and none of the
blue leader film - is
showing. The blue leader
film cannot print.
7. Now you're ready to put the cartridge
back in the machine. Turn the cartridge
right-side up again and position it so that
each roll's pair of color-coordinated gears
are over the gear stand with the same
color (remember: blue in front, gray in
back). Gently put the cartridge back in; if
you have positioned it correctly, it will
"drop" in smoothly.
Note: Your fax machine won't work
if the cartridge isn't in the
proper position.
8. Close the top cover of your fax
machine. You will feel a click when it
is closed.
Note: Your fax machine won't work if
the top cover isn't closed.

Operating Instructions
As mentioned previously, the donor film roll which comes with your fax machine
is much shorter than the regular roll. This starter roll is supplied so you can quickly
begin using your Muratec fax machine. In the meantime, we recommend you pur-
chase at least one replacement roll right away.
For the best results and the longest life from your fax machine, use Muratec donor
film. Ask for Muratec donor film at your authorized Muratec facsimile dealer, or
call 1-800-292-2492 for donor film and other supplies.

Adjusting Monitor and Ringer Volume
For your convenience, your fax machine allows you to set the volume of the
monitor speaker and of the ringer.
1. Press Monitor/Call. You should hear a dial tone. If not, go back and re-check
your connections so far.
2. Adjust the volume with the monitor speaker dial on the back of your fax.
Press Monitor/Call once more to turn off the monitor.
You may set the ringer volume to one of these three levels: high, medium, or low.
To do so, use the ringer volume switch, also at the back of your fax machine.
Attaching a Second Telephone
or an Answering Machine
1. Plug the line of your second telephone or answering machine into the
EXT. TEL jack on the side of your
fax machine.
Note: Do not plug your second
phone or answering machine
into the wall jack. In order for
your fax machine and answering
machine to work together, the
answering machine must be
connected to the fax machine's
EXT. TEL jack, as shown.

2. Plug your answering machine's power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Set your answering machine so that it will always let the phone ring at least
two times. This is necessary to allow the fax machine to detect the ap-
propriate signals in a call which indicate it's a fax call.
Note: If your answering machine uses a "toll-saver" feature which causes
the phone to ring fewer than two times, this may cause difficulty.
Please be sure your answering machine is set to allow at least two
rings, regardless of whether it has any messages waiting.

During transmission, if your fax encounters abusy signal when dialing a number
you have entered with a one-touch key, a speed -di al number or on the numeric
keypad, your fax will automatically redial the number. How many times it redials,
and the length of the interval between redials, is something you can set (see
page 34 for more details).
Note: Your fax machine initially is set to redial five times at three-minute intervals.
Important: If you encounter a busy signal on a call you have entered manually
