Points to keep in mind when setting up
♦The fax must be installed on a level surface.
♦Keep the fax away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust.
♦Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the fax. In particular,
keep the area in front of the fax clear, or the original document may jam as
it comes out after scanning.
♦If the fax is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensa-
tion may form on the reading glass, preventing proper scanning of docu-
ments for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and
wait approximately two hours before using the fax.

Loading the Imaging Film
The printer unit in your fax creates printed text and images by applying heat to
the imaging film, which causes ink to be transferred from the film to the page.
Follow the steps below to install or replace the imaging film.
1
Press the release button marked OPEN
and open the print compartment cover.
•Caution! The printing head (the strip
of metal on the underside of the cover)
applies heat to the imaging film. It
may be hot if a document has just been
printed.
2
If you are replacing the imaging film,
take the old film out of the printing com-
partment and remove the three (3) green
gears and the green flange from the ends
of the spools.
DO NOT DISCARD THE GREEN
GEARS AND THE GREEN
FLANGE!

Take the new film out of its package,
and insert two of the gears provided with
the fax into the ends of the spool with
film. Make sure that the two tabs on the
gears fit properly into the slots in the
ends of the spool.
•Do not yet remove the band which
holds the spools together.
4
Hold the empty spool so that the end
with only one slot is on the left, and
lower the spools into the front of the
printing compartment. The gears in the
ends of the spool with film should fit into
the slots on each side of the printing com-
partment.
5
Cut the band which holds the spools
together with scissors, and remove it.
Insert the remaining gear into the
right end of the empty spool and the
flange into the left end of the empty
spool. Make sure the tabs on the gear
and the flange fit into the slots in the
ends of the spool (the gear has two
tabs and the flange has one tab).

the compartment so that the gear and the
flange fit into the slots on the sides of the
compartment.
•Make sure that the green gear engages
with the white gear below it.

Wind the film slightly (rotate the gear on
the right side of the empty spool) so that
there is no slack in the film. Make sure
that both edges of the film wind onto the
spool evenly.

Connections
Handset
Connect the handset lead to the handset and the fax as shown.
♦The ends of the handset lead are identical, so they will go into either socket.
Place the handset on the handset rest.
Use the handset to make
ordinary phone calls, or to
transmit and receive
documents manually.
Power lead
Plug the power lead into a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) AC outlet.
♦The fax does not have a power on/off switch, so the power is turned on and
off by simply plugging or unplugging the power lead.
♦Caution: When disconnecting the fax, unplug the telephone line cord
before unplugging the power lead.
♦Caution: The mains outlet (socket outlet) should be installed near the
equipment and be easily accessable.

Comments:
•Your fax is set for tone dialling. If you are on a pulse only dial line, you must
set the fax for pulse dialling by changing Option Setting 7. This procedure is
described in Chapter 9, "Option Settings".
•If you intend to use a computer fax modem on the same phone line, you must
reset Option Setting 12 to NO in order to prevent transmission and reception
errors. This procedure is described in Chapter 9, "Option Settings".
Moving your fax and reconnecting
Should it be necessary to move your fax to a new location, first disconnect the
telephone line cord before disconnecting the power lead. When reconnecting, it
is necessary to connect the power lead before connecting the telephone line cord.
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
specialty stores.

Other devices
If desired, you can connect either an answering machine or an extension phone
to your fax.
♦Connecting an answering machine to the fax as shown below will allow
you to receive both voice and fax messages on the same line while you are
out. For details on using this feature, see Chapter 7.
♦You can connect an extension phone to the fax to make and receive calls
like any other extension phone on your line. For details on receiving faxes
from an extension phone, see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents".
Insert the end of the answering machine or extension phone line into the socket
marked TEL. SET on the fax (first remove the seal from the socket).
Important: When connecting
an answering machine, make
sure the line plug is inserted
into the answering machine’s
telephone line socket, not its
telephone socket.
