Important safety information
Be sure to save these instructions!
When using your fascimile equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to persons, including the following:
• Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not
described in this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• This machine must only be connected to a 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz,
grounded (3-prong) outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet
will damage the machine and invalidate the warranty.
• Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet.
For example, do not use the machine near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool. Take care not to spill any liquids on the machine.
• Unplug the machine from the power outlet and telephone jack and
consult a qualified service representative if any of the following sit-
uations occur:
- Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been
exposed to rain or water.
- The machine produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises.
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.
- The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install
the machine where people may walk on the power cord.

• Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the
machine. This could create a risk of fire or electric shock. If an
object falls into the machine that you cannot remove, unplug the
machine and consult a qualified service representative.
• Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The
machine could be seriously damaged if it falls.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is spe-
cifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch bare telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an elec-
trical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.
• The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be
easily accessible.
Important:
• This facsimile machine is not designed for use on a line which has
call waiting, call forwarding, or certain other special services
offered by your telephone company. If you attempt to use the fax
machine in conjunction with any of these services, you may experi-
ence errors during transmission and reception of facsimile mes-
sages.
• This facsimile machine is not compatible with digital telephone sys-
tems.

Points to keep in mind when setting up
Do not place the machine in
direct sunlight. Do not place the machine near heaters or air conditioners.
Keep dust away from the
machine. Keep the area around the machine clear.
About condensation
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.

Connecting the power cord
Plug the power cord into a 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, grounded AC outlet.
Caution:
The mains outlet (socket-outlet) should be installed near the
equipment and be easily accessable.
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.
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.

1. Installation
Replacing the thermal paper
When the paper runs out, OUT OF PAPER will appear in the display.
Reception and copying will no longer be possible. To replace the
paper, first take out the old roll, then load the new roll as described
above.
To assure a long life for your fax and obtain the best reproduction
quality, we recommend that you use the following Sharp thermal
paper, which is available from your dealer or retailer:
FO-20PRw THERMAL PAPER (30 m roll)
The use of any other paper may result in poor copy quality and
excessive build-up of residue on the head.
Handling thermal paper
Do not unpack the paper until you are ready to use it. It may become
discoloured if:
♦It is stored at high humidity or high temperature.
♦It is exposed to direct sunlight.
♦It comes in contact with glue, thinner, or a freshly copied blueprint.
♦A rubber eraser or adhesive tape is used on it, or it is scratched.
7Close the operation panel, making
sure it clicks into place.
•FO-10/FO-50: A short length of
the paper will feed out. Grasp the
paper by the edge and pull upward
to tear it off.
•FO-70: A short length of the paper
will be cut off.
