Unpacking Checklist
1. Installation
Before setting up, make sure you have all of the following items.
If any are missing, contact your dealer or retailer.
Handset
Handset
lead
Telephone
line cord
Fax paper
(sample roll)
Rapid key

Connections
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.
Connections
2

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 cord goes
into the unmarked
jack 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 can be purchased from your dealer or at
most telephone specialty stores.
Connections
4

Telephone line cord
Insert one end of the line cord into the socket on the back of the machine
marked TEL. LINE. Insert the other end into a wall telephone jack.
Comments:
•• In Germany, the machine is supplied with a N-coded line cable, enabling
you to use an extension (cordless) telephone on the same line. If you don’t
have the standard NFN-outlet of TELEKOM, you can purchase an
NFN-adapter at your retailer.
•• 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 8, "Option Settings".
•• If you are connecting the machine to a PBX, you will need to make
appropriate settings for Option Setting 10. See Chapter 8, "Optional settings".
•• If you intend to use a computer fax modem on the same phone line, you must
reset Option Setting 11 (Fax Signal Receive) to OFF in order to prevent
transmission and reception errors. This procedure is described in Chapter 8,
"Option Settings".

Other devices
If desired, you can use another telephone on the same line as your fax. The
telephone can be connected to the TEL. SET socket on the your fax (note
that this socket is not available in some countries), or to the wall socket.
♦You can use an extension phone connected to the fax or a wall socket to
make and receive calls like any normal telephone. For details on
receiving faxes from the extension phone, see Chapter 4.
Germany:
We recommend that you plug a (e.g.: cordless) telephone into the middle
connector of the TAE wall outlet and the fax line cord into the left connector.
Switzerland, Austria:
•• An extension phone cannot be used.
France:
•• The TEL. SET socket is not available on the fax. To connect an extension
telephone to a wall socket, a special cable is required. For more details,
consult your dealer.

Original Document Support
Rotate the original document support so that it points straight out.
Loading the Fax Paper
Your fax machine prints incoming faxes on a special kind of paper called thermal
paper.
The fax’s print head creates text and images by applying heat to the thermal
paper.
Note: The power must be on (plug in the power cord) when
loading fax paper in the fax machine.
1 Pull the release marked PANEL RELEASE toward you and open the
operation panel.

NEIN!
3 Make sure the ends of the guide wire are inserted in the holes. (If the guide
wire is not inseted correctly, out-of-paper detection will not be possible.)

4 Unwrap the roll of fax paper and place it in the compartment.
•• Important: The roll must be placed so that the leading edge of the paper
unrolls as shown. (The paper is only coated on one side for printing. If
the roll is placed backwards, the paper will come out blank after
printing.)

5 Insert the leading edge of the paper into the paper inlet. Continue to push
the paper through the inlet until it comes out of the opening in the front of
the fax.

The paper will reappear here. Make sure it is
aligned between the arrows on each side of
the guide, and then passes under the plate
and out the front of the fax.
6 Close the operation panel, making sure it clicks into place.

7 UX-51/238: A short length of the fax paper will feed out. Grasp the paper
by the edge and pull upward to tear it off.
UX-258: A short length of the fax paper will feed out and be cut off. (If
this doesn’t happen, repeat the loading procedure.)
Note: The UX-258 has a built-in anti-curl mechanism that will help to
reduce paper curling problems. The anti-curl mechanism is more effective
at the beginning of the paper roll and less effective toward the end.
Replacing the fax paper
When the paper runs out, KEIN PAPIER 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 fax (thermal) paper which is
available from your dealer:
UX-51/238: FO-20PR THERMAL PAPER (30 m roll)
UX-238/258: FO-40PR THERMAL PAPER (50 m roll)
♦The use of any other paper may result in poor copy quality and
excessive build-up of residue on the head. This is due to the different
thermal reactive characteristics of each manufacturer’s paper.
Handling fax 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.
