Connections
Make sure the handset cord
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 220 - 230
V, 50 Hz, earthed (2-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
canbe purchased from your dealer or
at most telephone specialty stores.
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

The initial starter roll of imaging film
included with your fax can print about
30 A4 pages.
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.
Note: If there is paper in the paper
tray, pull the paper release plate
forward and remove the paper before
loading the imaging film.
When replacing the film, use a roll of
Sharp UX-3CR imaging film. One roll
can print about 95 A4 pages.
1Open the operation panel by
grasping the finger hold and pulling
up.
2Pull the green release on the right
side of the machine forward, and
open the print compartment cover.
If you are installing the imaging film for
the first time, go to Step 6.
