Important safety information
•Donotdisassemblethismachineorattemptanyproceduresnotdescribed
in this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
•This machine must only be connected to a 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed
(3-prong) outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet may damage
the machine.
•Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. Take
care not to spill any liquids on the machine.
•Unplug the machinefrom the telephone socket and then the power outlet
and consult a qualified service representative if any of the following
situations 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 lead, and do not install the
machine where people may walk on the power lead.
•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 safely remove, unplug the machine and consult
a qualified service representative.
•Donotplacethismachineonanunstablecart,standortable.Themachine
could be seriously damaged if it falls.
•Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•Never install telephone sockets in wet locations unless the socket is
specifically designed for wet locations.

•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the tele-
phone 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 electrical
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.
•Thesocket-outletmustbeinstallednear theequipmentandmustbeeasily

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 on a
telephone line using any of these services, you may experience errors
during transmission and reception of facsimile messages.
•• This facsimile machine is not compatible with digital telephone
systems.

Regulatory information
♦This facsimile machine is only designed to operate in the country
where approved.
Your Sharp FO-730 Facsimile Transceiver is approved for connection to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), it is also approved for connection via a
Private Branch Exchange (PBX), and can be used with either Loop Disconnect (LD)
or Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signalling.
Your facsimile machine is not suitable as an extension to some payphones or for
use on shared service lines.
REN
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of your fax machine is 1.
The total number of instruments that can be connected to an exclusive line is
determined by adding the REN values of each instrument. The total should not
exceed 4.0. A telephone provided by BT is assumed to have a REN of 1 unless
otherwise marked.
Satisfactory ringer operation can not be guaranteed in installations consisting of
mixed apparatus types, even if the REN value does not exceed 4.
Emergency services
Emergency services (999) can be called from this apparatus. Please display on the
telephone the number required to access that service, together with the number of
the telephone, using the label provided.
♦Private branch exchange (PBX) connection
Your facsimile machine is approved for connection to the Public Telephone Network
(PSTN) via compatible PBX systems. Consult your supplier for a list of suitable PBX
systems. It cannot be guaranteed that this facsimile machine will operate correctly
under all possible conditions of connection to compatible PBX systems.
This facsimile machine has been approved for use of the following facilities:
Simple telephone
Tone dialling (DTMF)
Loop disconnect (Pulse dialling)
5

Memory dialling
Loudspeaking (Call Progress Monitor)
On-hook dialling
Automatic answering
Automatic dialling
Automatic clearing
Last number redial
Time break or Earth recall
Series connection of extension telephone(s)
Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the facsimile if as a result it then
ceases to comply with the standards against which approval was granted.
Series connection
When connected via series apparatus, difficulties may occasionally be experienced
when making calls to the PSTN and by both parties during telephone conversations.
If difficulties are experienced, contact the supplier or maintainer of the series
apparatus in the first instance.
While operation may be possible initially, changes to or modernisation of the
network taking place in the normal course of events may result in the facsimile
equipment being connected to a network service with which it was not designed to
be compatible. Failure of the facsimile / series apparatus to work under these
circumstances may not be the fault of the network operator.
The voltage drop introduced by your facsimile between the PSTN and the
associated apparatus at a current of 40mA d.c. is 2 volts, therefore no additional
series equipment may be connected.

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.

Handset
Connect the handset as shown and place it on the handset rest.
♦The ends of the handset lead are identical, so they will go into
either socket.
Make sure the handset
lead goes into the
socket marked with a
handset symbol on the
side of the machine!
Use the handset to
make ordinary phone
calls, or to transmit
and receive
documents manually.

Power lead
Plug the power lead into a 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) AC outlet.
♦Caution: The mains outlet (socket outlet) should be installed near
the equipment and be easily accessable.
The machine does not
have a power on/off switch,
so the power is turned on
and off by simply plugging
or unplugging the power
lead.
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 from your dealer or at
most telephone specialty stores.

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 9. This procedure is
described in Chapter 8, Option Settings.
•• If you are connecting the fax to a PBX, you may need to reset the fax to the
appropriate recall mode for the PBX. This is done by setting Option Setting
15 as described in Chapter 8.
•• If you intend to use a computer fax modem on the same phone line, you must
reset Option Setting 16 (Fax Signal Receive) to NO in order to prevent
transmission and reception errors. This procedure is described in Chapter 8,
Option Settings.
•• The facsimile machine will not ring in response to incoming calls and cannot
be used to make outgoing calls in the absence of mains power to the machine.
For this reason it is recommended that the fax is not left as the only telephone
instrument on line when in this state.
•• Your fax cannot be used on a key system without the necessary adaptation of
the system. Please consult the installers of the system if this is required.

Loading the Imaging Film
Your fax uses a roll of imaging film to create printed text and images.
The print head in the fax applies heat to the imaging film to transfer
ink to the paper. Follow the steps below to load or replace the film.
The initial starter roll
of imaging film
included with your
fax can print about
30 A4 pages.
When replacing the
film, use a roll of Sharp
UX-3CR imaging film.
One roll can print about
95 A4 pages.
Note: If there is paper in the paper tray, pull the paper release plate
forward and remove the paper before loading the imaging film.
1 Open the operation panel by grasping the finger hold and pulling up.
2 Pull the green release on the right side of the machine forward, and
