CAUTIONS  
Follow the cautions below when using this machine.  
CAUTIONS ON USING THE MACHINE  
Warning:  
The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper.  
Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.  
Caution:  
Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it  
back on.  
Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.  
Place the machine on a firm, level surface.  
Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.  
When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off  
and remove the power cord from the outlet.  
When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.  
Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat  
dissipation, damaging the machine.  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in  
hazardous laser radiation exposure.  
The socket-outlet should be installed near the machine and should be easily accessible.  
IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN SELECTING AN  
INSTALLATION SITE  
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the  
machine is moved.  
If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the machine. Operation  
in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the machine at room temperature for at least  
2 hours before use.  
Caution  
Do not install your machine in areas that are:  
damp, humid, or very  
exposed to direct sunlight  
dusty  
poorly  
ventilated  
subject to extreme  
temperature or humidity  
changes, e.g., near an  
air conditioner or  
heater.  
3
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and  
disconnection.  
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and  
current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.  
Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is  
connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.  
Note  
Be sure to allow the required space around the  
machine for servicing and proper ventilation.  
12" (30cm)  
12"  
(30cm)  
12"  
(30cm)  
A small amount of ozone is produced within the machine during operation.  
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.  
Note:  
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-  
weighted average concentration.  
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the  
machine in a ventilated area.  
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING THE MACHINE  
Observe the following precautions when handling the machine to maintain top performance.  
Do not drop the machine, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.  
Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the package before use.  
If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.  
Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).  
Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.  
Safety precautions:  
This Digital Copier is rated Class I and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH standards. This  
means that the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. For your safety, observe the precautions  
below.  
Do not remove the cabinet, operation panel or any other covers.  
The machines exterior covers contain several safety interlock switches. Do not bypass any safety interlock by  
inserting wedges or other items into switch slots.

modes.  
POWER SAVE MODES  
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of  
operation. These modes help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. The two power save  
modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".  
The time settings for each mode can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operators guide".)  
Preheat mode  
When the set time elapses, the temperature of the fusing unit is automatically lowered to reduce power consumption  
while on standby. The factory default setting is 15 minutes. To return to normal operation, touch any key on the  
operation panel. To make a copy when the machine is in this mode, simply select the desired copy selections and  
then press the [START] key (  
).  
Auto power shut-off mode  
When the set time elapses, the power to the fusing unit automatically turns off to reduce power consumption (This is  
based on the guidelines of the International Energy Star Program.). The factory default setting is 60 minutes. When  
the machine enters this mode, the touch panel screen turns off and only the [START] key (  
) blinks. To return to  
normal operation, press the [START] key ( ). To copy after warm-up starts, make desired copy selections and  
press the [START] key (

reduce shadow lines caused by uneven contact between the original and the document glass.  
• When the center tray counter function is enabled, the number of pages that can be delivered to the output tray is  
limited to 500 (A4 and 8-1/2" x 11" sizes only; the limit for all other sizes is 300 pages.). When the offset function is  
used, the limit is approximately 300 pages. When the limit is reached, copying stops and the [START] key (  
)
light turns off. Remove the copies from the center tray and then press the [START] key ( ) to resume copying.  
The center tray counter function can be disabled in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)  
Originals that can be used in the RSPF  
A maximum of 100 sheet originals of equal size (8-1/2" x 11", 24 lbs. (90g/m2)) can be placed in the RSPF. Originals  
of different length can be placed together in the RSPF as long the widths are equal; however, some copy functions  
may not operate correctly.  
Acceptable originals  
Originals of size 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" having a weight of 9 lbs. to 34 lbs. (35g/m2 to 128g/m2) or 14 lbs. to 28  
lbs. (52g/m2 to 105g/m2) for two-sided originals can be used.  
Other considerations  
• Use originals that are within the specified size and weight ranges. Originals outside the specified ranges may  
cause misfeeds.  
• Make sure that there are no paper clips or staples on the original.  
• If an original has damp spots from correction fluid or ink, or glue from pasteups, be sure it has dried completely  
before using it to make a copy. Otherwise the interior of the RSPF or the document glass may become soiled.  
• The following originals cannot be used. These may cause misfeeds, smudging, and unclear images.  
• Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent or translucent paper, photographs  
• Carbon paper  
• Thermal paper  
• Originals that are creased, folded, or torn  
• Glued originals, cut-out originals  
• Originals with binder holes  
• Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer printing), originals printed on thermal transfer paper

Carcinogenicity  
: Not an irritant (Rabbits)  
: No sensitization  
: Negative (Ames Test)  
: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human  
carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate  
human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of  
carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats  
receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle  
overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show  
any association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer  
bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no  
association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET  
Data Revised: Jul. 31. 2002  
Data Issued: Apr. 2. 2001  
MSDS No. F-00981  
Chronic Effect  
: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate  
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration  
(16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of  
the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was  
reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential  
human exposures.

: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate  
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration  
(16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of  
the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was  
reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential  
human exposures.

ABOUT THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OF 1991  
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other  
electronic device, including FAX machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin  
at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and  
an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number  
of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.  
(The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or  
long-distance transmission charges.)  
In order to program this information into your FAX machine, you should complete the following steps:  
See page 97 of this Operation manual.  
Important safety information

A lithium battery inside the unit keeps settings and programmed information in memory.  
When the battery dies, settings and programmed information will be lost. Be sure to keep a written record of the  
settings and programmed information. ("PRINTING PROGRAMMED INFORMATION" (p.79))  
Battery power is consumed when the machine's power switch is turned off. (Power is consumed even if no settings  
or information are stored in the machine.) When the machine's power switch is turned on, almost no battery power  
is consumed.  
The life of the lithium battery is approximately 5 years if the power switch are kept continually off.  
In the unlikely event that the battery expires, a message will appear in the display and the unit will not operate  
correctly. If this should occurr please contact your Authorized Sharp Dealer or Service Center.  
Other information  
If a thunderstorm occurs, we recommend that you unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Information will be  
retained in memory even if the power cord is unplugged.

An original can be loaded in the RSPF or placed on the document glass. Load multi-page sheet originals in the  
RSPF. Place books and other originals that cannot be loaded in the RSPF on the document glass.  
USING THE RSPF  
Lift the RSPF and make sure an  
original is not placed on the document  
glass. Gently close the RSPF.  
Align the edges of the original pages  
and then insert the pages face up in  
the document feeder tray.

CONVENIENT DIALING METHODS  
AUTO-DIALING  
This product includes an auto-dialing feature to make dialing easier. By programming frequently dialed numbers,  
you can call and send documents to these locations by means of a simple dialing operation (p.16). There are two  
types of auto-dialing: rapid dialing and group dialing. To program auto-dial numbers, refer to pages p.67, p.71.  
Rapid dialing  
Group dialing  
Simply press a rapid key and then press the [START]  
key ( ) to dial the programmed location. When using  
F-code transmission, a sub-address and passcode  
can also be programmed (p.52).  
Multiple destinations can be programmed into a single  
rapid key. This is convenient for successively sending  
a document to multiple locations.  
The destinations can be stored by specifying rapid  
keys, or by directly entering full fax numbers with the  
numeric keys (the destinations do not need to be  
previously stored in rapid keys).

Programmed rapid keys and group dial keys are stored on "index cards". A key can be accessed by touching  
Note  
its card. (p.8)  
To prevent calling or sending a fax to a wrong number, look carefully at the touch panel and make  
sure that you enter the correct number when programming an auto-dial number. You can also  
check programmed numbers by printing out an address list or group list after programming (p.79).  
Caution  
REDIALING  
The last number dialed can be redialled by simply pressing the [REDIAL] key.  
The machine keeps the last number dialed with a rapid key or the numeric keys in  
memory. However, when an F-code transmission is performed, the machine only  
retains the fax number; it does not retain the sub-address or passcode.  
If numeric keys were pressed during a phone conversation, the [REDIAL] key may  
not dial the correct number.  
The number is not retained when the following special operations are performed (the

previously stored job or a job is in progress, or if the  
line is being used, all pages of the document are  
scanned into memory and stored as a transmission  
job. (This is called memory transmission: the  
destination is automatically called and the document  
transmitted after previously stored jobs are  
completed.)  
If scanning is completed normally, a beep sounds to  
inform you that the transmission job is stored and  
"JOB STORED." appears in the message display.  
Canceling transmission  
Note  
To cancel transmission while "SCANNING ORIGINAL" appears in the display or before the [READ-END] key is  
pressed, press the [CLEAR] key (  
) or the [CLEAR ALL] key (  
). To cancel a transmission job that is already  
stored, press the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the job as explained on page 24.  
If the machine sounds two beeps during or at the end of transmission and an error message  
appears in the touch panel, refer to "WHEN AN ALARM SOUNDS AND A WARNING  
MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED" (p.86) to fix the problem.  
Caution  
If the power is turned off or there is an interruption in the power supply while an original is  
being scanned using the RSPF, scanning will stop and a misfeed will occur. After the power  
is restored, remove the misfed original as explained in "MISFEED REMOVAL" in the  
operation manual for copier.  
13  
BASIC OPERATIONS  
Memory transmission mode  
When memory transmission mode is selected, the original is scanned into memory and then sent to the destination.  
When the RSPF is used for transmission, transmission of the first scanned page begins while the remaining pages  
are scanned. (See "Quick On-line transmission" below.)  
If Quick On-line transmission is not enabled, or if the document glass is used for scanning, all pages of the original  
are scanned into memory before the destination is dialed and transmission begins.  
The number of pages that can be held in memory varies depending on the content of the pages, the transmission  
settings, and the amount of memory installed (p.107).  
When On-hook dialing is used, direct transmission mode is automatically selected (memory transmission mode  
cannot be used).  
Note  
Quick On-line  
When the RSPF is used for memory transmission and there are no previously stored jobs waiting or in progress (and  
the line is not being used), the machine dials the destination and begins transmitting scanned pages while the  
remaining pages are scanned. This transmission method is called Quick On-line. The messages "SCANNING  
ORIGINAL." and "CONNECTING." both appear until scanning of the final page is completed.  
If the receiving party is busy when a Quick On-line transmission is attempted, the transmission will be automatically  
reattempted at a later time. (See "If the receiving party is busy" on page 15.)  
The machine is initially set (factory setting) to perform Quick On-line transmission. If desired, you can turn off  
Note  
this function in the key operator programs (see "QUICK ON LINE SENDING" (p.100)).  
When an original is transmitted using the following methods, the job will be stored in memory (Quick On-line  
transmission will not be performed):  
Sending from the document glass Broadcast transmission (p.26) Timer transmission (p.30)  
F-code transmission (Chapter 4)  
Direct transmission mode  
When direct transmission mode is selected, the document is directly transmitted after the destination is dialed.  
Direct transmission mode does not use memory, and thus transmission is possible even when the memory is full.  
A subsequent transmission cannot be stored when direct transmission mode is selected.  
When the document glass is used, only one page can be faxed in direct transmission mode.  
The following funtions cannot be used when direct transmission mode is selected:  
Note  
image rotation (p.15), Broadcasting (p.26) and other functions for transmission to multiple destinations, timer  
transmission (p.30), two-sided original scanning (p.17), divided page transmission (p.40), and job build (p.18).  
14  
BASIC OPERATIONS  
Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)  
If a transmission is performed in memory transmission mode while the machine is already sending or receiving a fax,  
the document will be scanned into memory and then automatically transmitted after the previous job is completed  
(this is called storing a transmission). Up to 50 jobs can be stored in memory at once, not including the job currently  
being executed. After transmission, the scanned document data is cleared from memory.  
You can check transmission jobs stored in memory in the job status screen. (See "PART NAMES AND  
FUNCTIONS" in the operation manual for copier.)  
Note  
If the memory becomes full while a document is being scanned, a message will appear in the display. You can  
cancel the scanning by touching the [CANCEL] key, or send only the pages already scanned by touching the  
[SEND] key. The page that was being scanned when the memory became full will be cleared from memory. If  
the memory becomes full while scanning the first page of a document, the transmission job is automatically  
canceled.  
The number of jobs that can be stored will depend on the number of pages in each job and the transmission  
conditions. The number of storable jobs will increase if the optional expansion memory (8 MB) is installed.  
If the receiving party is busy  
If the receiving party is busy, the transmission is temporarily canceled and then automatically re-attempted after a  
brief interval (two attempts are made at an interval of 3 minutes*). If you do not want the machine to re-attempt the  
transmission, touch the [JOB STATUS] key and cancel the transmission. (p.24)  
2
*This setting can be changed in the key operator programs ("RECALL IN CASE OF LINE BUSY" (p.100)).  
If a transmission error occurs  
The machine will automatically re-attempt transmission (once at an interval of one minute* ) if transmission does not  
1
end normally due to a line error or other reason, or if the other machine does not begin reception within 60  
2
seconds* after the connection is established. To cancel automatic retransmission, touch the [JOB STATUS] key  
and cancel the transmission.(p.24)

* This setting can be changed in the key operator programs. ("RECALL IN CASE OF COMMUNICATION ERROR"  
(p.100))  
2
* This setting can be changed in the key operator programs. ("CALL TIMER AT MEMORY SENDING" (p.100))  
Image rotation  
The machine is initially set to rotate a vertically-placed ( ) document 90 degrees so that it is oriented horizontally  
(
) before transmission (8-1/2" x 11" originals are rotated to 8-1/2" x 11"R and A4 originals are rotated to A4R).  
(8-1/2" x 11"R originals and A4R originals are not rotated.) If desired, you can turn this function off with the key  
operator program as explained on page 100.  
When a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" or 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original is faxed from the RSPF, the original size will  
be automatically detected. However, when the document glass is used, the size of a 5-1/2" x  
Caution  
8-1/2"R original will not automatically be detected. When faxing a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R original  
from the document glass, you must manually set the original size. ("MANUALLY SETTING  
THE SCANNING SIZE" (p.20))  
Error Correction Mode (ECM)  
Noise on the line can sometimes cause distortions in a transmitted fax image. When this happens, the ECM function  
automatically resends the part of the image that was distorted.  
When this function is turned on, transmission will take slightly longer than normal.  
In order for ECM to operate, the other machine must also have the ECM function.

reaches 256 pages, it will reset to 0 and further scanned pages will be counted from 1.  
When using job build mode, the original size can be changed between originals.  
Note  
When scanning the first set of originals, the [ROTATE THE IMAGE 90 DEGREES] checkbox can be selected,  
however, from the second set of originals on, the selection cannot be changed until scanning is finished (the  
checkbox will be grayed out).  
Direct transmission is not possible when using job build mode. A job build transmission takes place as a  
memory transmission even if Quick Online is enabled (transmission does not begin until all originals are  
scanned).

MANUALLY SETTING THE  
SCANNING SIZE  
If you load an original that is not a standard size (such as an AB size), or if the size is not detected correctly, you  
must touch the [ORIGINAL] key and set the original size manually. Perform the following steps after placing the  
document in the RSPF or on the document glass.  
*Standard sizes:  
Note  
Original sizes that can be correctly detected are 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R, 8-1/2" x 11", 8-1/2" x 11"R,  
8-1/2" x 14", and 11" x 17". However, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R can only be automatically detected when the RSPF is  
used.  
If a non-standard size original is loaded (including special sizes), the closest standard size may be displayed, or  
the original size may not appear.

RECEIVING FAXES  
When another fax machine sends a fax to your machine, your machine will ring*, automatically receive the fax, and  
begin printing (automatic reception).  
You can store a transmission job while fax reception is in progress. ("Storing transmission jobs (memory  
transmission)" (p.15))  
Note  
To print received fax pages on both sides of the paper, enable "DUPLEX RECEPTION SETTING" in the key  
operator programs. (p.101)  
To receive faxes, sufficient paper must be loaded in the paper tray. Refer to "LOADING  
PAPER" in operation manual for copier to load appropriate paper. Incoming 8-½" x 11" and A4  
size faxes will be automatically adjusted to the orientation of the printing paper, so there is no  
need to load each size of paper both horizontally ( ) and vertically ( ).  
However, if you receive a fax that is smaller than 8-1/2" x 11" size, the paper size used to print  
the fax will depend on how the original was oriented (vertically or horizontally) in the sending  
fax machine.  
Caution

*Number of rings  
The machine has been set to ring twice before beginning  
automatic reception. The number of rings can be set to  
any number from 0 to 9 in the key operator programs.  
("NUMBER OF CALLS IN AUTO RECEPTION" (p.101))  
If the number of rings is set to 0, the machine will receive  
faxes without ringing.  
If the machine has multiple output trays, the  
output tray for fax reception can be selected  
in the key operator programs. See  
"OUTPUT TRAYS" in the key operators  
guide.  
Note  
If received faxes cannot be printed  
If the machine runs out of paper or toner, or a paper jam occurs, or if the machine is  
printing a print or copy job, received faxes will be held in memory until printing becomes  
possible. The received fax are automatically printed when printing becomes possible.  
When received faxes are held in memory, the data light next to the [FAX] key blinks.  
You can also use the transfer function to have another fax machine print the received  
faxes. ("FORWARDING RECEIVED FAXES TO ANOTHER MACHINE WHEN

This chapter explains advanced fax features for special situations and purposes.  
SENDING THE SAME DOCUMENT  
TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS IN A  
SINGLE OPERATION  
(BROADCAST TRANSMISSION)  
This feature is used to send a fax to multiple destinations in a single operation. The document to be transmitted is  
scanned into memory and then successively transmitted to the selected destinations. This feature is convenient for  
such purposes as distributing a report to company branches in different locations. Up to 200 destinations can be  
selected. When transmission to all destinations has been completed, the document is automatically cleared from  
memory.  
If you frequently use broadcasting to send faxes to the same group of destinations, it is convenient to program  
those destinations into a group key. A group key is a rapid key in which multiple destinations are programmed.  
The procedure for programming group keys is explained on page 71.  
Note  
When using a group key to send a fax, the destinations programmed in the group key are counted as  
broadcasting destinations. For example, if five destinations are programmed in a group key and the key is  
touched for a broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission will have five destinations.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT A  
SPECIFIED TIME (TIMER TRANSMISSION)  
This feature enables you to set up a transmission or polling operation to be performed automatically at a specified  
time. The time can be specified up to a week in advance. This allows you to take advantage of off-peak phone rates  
without having to be there when the transmission is performed. A combined total of 50 timer transmission and  
memory transmission jobs can be stored.  
After a timer transmission is performed, the information (resolution setting, destination, etc.) is automatically  
cleared from memory.  
Note  
To perform a timer transmission, the document must be scanned into memory. It is not possible to place the  
document in the RSPF or on the document glass and have it scanned at the specified time of transmission.  
To set the date and time in the machine, refer to "CUSTOM SETTINGS" of operation manual for copier. You  
can check the machines current time in the screens of steps 3 and 4.  
Only one polling timer operation can be set up at a time. If you wish to set up multiple timer polling operations,  
combine the machines to be polled into a serial polling operation with a timer setting. (p.32)

TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION  
USING THE POLLING FUNCTION  
This function can only be used if the other machine is a Super G3 or G3 machine and supports the polling function.  
The polling function allows your machine to call a fax machine that has a document ready for transmission and  
initiate reception of the document. You can also perform the reverse operation: scan a document into the memory of  
your machine so that another machine can call your machine and initiate reception of the document.  
Calling the sending machine and asking the sending machine to fax a document is called "polling". Scanning a  
document into memory and automatically sending it when the receiving machine calls and "polls" your machine is  
called "polling memory".  
For information on polling and polling memory using F-codes, refer to "F-CODE POLLING MEMORY" (p.54).  
This section only explains regular polling and regular polling memory.  
Note  
Polling  
This function allows your machine to call a sending machine and initiate reception of a document in that machine. A  
timer setting can also be established to have the operation take place at night or at another specified time. (p.30)

USING THE POLLING FUNCTION  
A document should not be loaded in the machine when the following operation is performed. When used in  
conjunction with the timer transmission function, only one polling job can be stored.  
If the other machine has enabled a polling security function ("Restricting polling access (polling security)"  
Note  
(p.38)), make sure that your own fax number (sender's number) is programmed in the key operator programs  
("OWN NUMBER AND NAME SET" (p.97)), and ask the operator of the other machine to program your fax  
number (the programmed sender's number with the lowest control number) appropriately in that machine.  
If the other fax machine is a Sharp machine (excluding some models), you may also need to program a system  
number in your machine ("SYSTEM NUMBER MODE" (p.102)) that matches a polling permission ID number  
programmed in the other machine.  
Touch the [SPECIAL MODES] key in  
fax mode, and then touch the  
[POLLING] key.  
Enter the number of the other fax  
machine or touch an auto-dial key  
(rapid or group key) (p.16).

ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS  
USING POLLING MEMORY  
This function sends a document previously scanned into memory to a receiving machine when the receiving  
machine calls and polls your machine. The machine has "memory boxes", which are memory used for the regular  
polling memory function, F-code polling memory, F-code confidential transmission, and F-code relay transmission  
("SENDING OPTIONS" (p.102)). The polling memory function explained here uses a memory box called the  
"PUBLIC BOX". If desired, you can restrict polling to fax machines whose fax number you have programmed in your  
machine, or use ID numbers to restrict polling ("MEMORY BOXES AND SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES  
REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION" (p.52)).  
Caution When using the polling memory function, do not set the reception mode to MANUAL. (p.62)  
Scanning a document into polling memory (the Public Box)  
Follow this procedure to scan a document into the Public Box. If other documents have already been stored in the  
Public Box, the new document will be added to those documents. If the previously stored documents are no longer  
needed, delete them ("Deleting documents from the Public Box" (p.37)) before scanning in the new document.  
Make sure that the machine is in fax  
mode.

ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS  
Restricting polling access (polling security)  
If you wish to prevent unauthorized fax machines from polling your machine, enable the polling security function.  
When this function is enabled, polling permission will only be granted if the fax number of the polling machine (as  
programmed in that machine) matches one of the fax numbers that you have programmed in your machine as  
passcode numbers. Up to 10 fax numbers can be programmed as passcode numbers.  
To turn on the polling security function and program passcode numbers, see "PASSCODE NUMBER SETTING" on  
page 102.  
There are two types of polling security functions. Polling is permitted when the numbers of either type match.

FAXING A THIN-SHEET  
DOCUMENT USING THE RSPF  
Thin-sheet documents can be faxed using the RSPF.  
When the thin-sheet scanning function is used, the RSPF scans the document at a slower speed.  
Follow these steps to enable or disable the thin-sheet scanning function.  
A document that is extremely thin or which has folds or wrinkles may misfeed in the RSPF. In  
this case, scan the document from the document glass.

When faxing a book or other bound document, you can use this function to divide the two open pages of the book  
into two separate fax pages.  
This function can only be used when the original is scanned using the document glass.  
The original on the right side of the document glass is scanned first as page 1, and then the original on the left side  
as page 2.  
Dual page scan is only possible when the original size is 11" x 17" or 8-1/2" x 11R".

PROGRAMMING FREQUENTLY  
USED OPERATIONS  
This function allows you to store the steps of an operation, including the destination and scanning settings, into a  
program. When you want to send a document to that destination, you can simply press the appropriate program key  
and the steps will be performed automatically. This function is convenient when you frequently send documents  
such as a daily report to the same destination. Up to eight programs can be stored.  
• A program differs from a timer transmission (p.30) in that it is not cleared from memory after transmission  
takes place. A program thus allows you to repeatedly perform the same type of transmission. Note, however,  
that programs do not allow you to establish a timer setting for transmission.  
Note  
• With the exception of polling, reception operations cannot be stored in a program.  
Programs can be stored using the custom settings, and a name up to 36 characters long can be assigned.  
For information on storing, editing, and deleting programs, see "STORING A PROGRAM" on page 73.  
The following settings can be stored in a program:  
• Destination fax number • POLLING • SLOW SCAN MODE • DUAL PAGE SCAN • COVER SHEET  
• TX MESSAGE • OWN PASSCODE SELECT • CONFIDENTIAL TX • RELAY BROADCAST  
• RESOLUTION and EXPOSURE  
Auto-dial keys (rapid or group keys) can be used to store the destination fax number, or a full number can be  
entered using the numeric keys. When storing a broadcast transmission or serial polling operation in a program, up  
to 200 destination fax numbers can be stored.

fax can only be printed out when the recipient enters a confidential ID code.  
This function is convenient when you need to send or receive sensitive documents, or when several departments  
share the same fax machine.

The fax machine that originally sends the fax is called the relay request machine, and then relays it to the  
programmed end machines is called the relay machine.  
The fax is printed out by the relay machine as well as by the end receiving machines.  
The relay request function is useful when the relay machine is sufficiently close to the end receiving machines that  
the overall cost of transmission is less than if you sent the fax directly to the end receiving machines using the  
broadcast function. If used together with a timer setting to take advantage of off-peak rates, the cost of transmission  
can be reduced even more.  
Sending a fax to a relay machine and requesting relay transmission is called the relay request function. Receiving a  
fax and broadcasting it to a group of end receiving machines is called the relay broadcast function.  
This function can only be used when the relay machine is a Sharp model that has the relay broadcast function.  
For more information, consult your SHARP service center.  
Note  
To allow a relay request to take place, the fax number of the relay request machine (the programmed senders  
number) must be programmed in the relay machine as a relay ID code ("ID NUMBER MODE" (p.102)).  
To make a relay request, the relay group (the number of the relay machine and the numbers of the end  
receiving machines) must be programmed. ("STORING RELAY GROUPS" (p.75))  
The relay request machine only bears the cost of sending the fax to the relay machine. The relay machine  
bears the cost of sending the fax to each of the end receiving machines.

ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS  
USING THE RELAY REQUEST FUNCTION  
A relay request transmission is performed by specifying the relay group and then performing a regular fax

TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES  
4
This chapter explains F-code transmission, which gives you a convenient means of performing advanced operations  
such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission. Normally these functions require that the other  
fax machine be a similar Sharp machine; however, F-code transmission enables these functions to be performed  
with any other machine that supports F-code transmission.  
TRANSMISSION BETWEEN  
MACHINES SUPPORTING F-CODES  
This machine supports the "F-code" standard as established by the ITU-T*.  
The F-code standard makes it possible to perform special operations such as relay broadcast and confidential  
transmission, which previously could only be performed with another similar Sharp machine, with any other machine  
that also supports F-codes.  
Before using any of the functions explained in this chapter, verify that the other fax machine supports F-codes and  
the function that you wish to use (the other machine may use a different name for the function).  
* The ITU-T is a United Nations organization that establishes communications standards. It is a department of the International  
Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services.  
51  
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES  
MEMORY BOXES AND  
SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES REQUIRED FOR  
F-CODE TRANSMISSION  
Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a "memory box" in the unit's memory. The  
memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another  
machine polls that machine. Up to 10 memory boxes can be created for each operation type, and a name can be  
assigned to each box. A "sub-address" that indicates the box's location in memory must be programmed, and if  
desired, a passcode can also be programmed to control access to the box.

Public Box*  
*The Public Box is used for normal serial polling. ("USING POLLING MEMORY" (p.35))  
When communication occurs involving a memory box, the communication will only take place if the sub-address and  
passcode that the other machine sends match the sub-address and passcode programmed in your machine for that  
box. Therefore, to allow communication, you must inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the  
memory box. Likewise, to send a document to a memory box in another machine or use polling to retrieve a  
document from that memory box, you must know the sub-address and passcode of that memory box.  
Memory boxes are managed in this machine not only by sub-addresses and passcodes (which are number  
sequences), but also by names. For example, for the memory box with the sub-address, "7732123", and the  
passcode, "1115", you could assign the name "Product Planning". Assigning names makes it easier to manage  
memory boxes. (Note that you do not need to inform the other party of a memory box name; the other party only  
needs to know the sub-address and passcode.)  
This machine uses the term "sub-address" for the location of the memory box and the term "passcode" for the  
password that allows communication; however, other fax machines of other manufacturers may use different terms.  
When asking the other party for a sub-address and passcode, you may find it useful to refer to the 3-character  
alphabetical terminology used by the ITU-T.

CREATING A MEMORY BOX FOR F-CODE  
TRANSMISSION  
F-code operations that use memory boxes include F-code polling memory (p.54), F-code confidential transmission  
(p.57), and F-code relay broadcast (p.59). Memory boxes must be created to perform any of these operations.  
A memory box can be created using the key operator programs. Memory boxes are created in the key operator  
programs. Up to 10 boxes for each operation type can be created. The method of creating up the box varies  
depending on the operation. To create, edit, or delete a memory box, see "F-CODE MEMORY BOX" on page 103.  
After you have created a box, be sure to inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode.  
If you attempt to create a memory box when 10 memory boxes have already been created for that operation  
type, a message will appear to inform you that no more boxes can be created. Delete any unneeded memory  
Note  
boxes and then create the new box.  
53  
F-CODE POLLING MEMORY  
F-code polling memory allows one fax machine to call another fax machine and initiate reception of a document that has  
been scanned into the other machine's F-code polling memory box. Calling another machine and initiating reception is  
called F-code polling, and scanning a document into a memory box for another machine to retrieve by polling is called  
F-code polling memory. This function is approximately the same as normal polling explained on page 32; however, the  
use of the F-code polling memory box means that security is provided by means of the sub-address and passcode.

To perform polling or polling memory without using an F-code, refer to page 32.  
Note  
To create an F-code memory box for polling memory, refer to page 103.  
Unlike normal polling, the other machine's fax number or system number is not programmed as a passcode for  
F-code polling memory. The sub-address and passcode of the polling memory box are used for polling  
security.  
The receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of the transmission.  
54  
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES  
USING F-CODE POLLING MEMORY  
In order for another machine to retrieve a document from your machine, you must first scan the document into the  
F-code polling memory box.  
You can check the document in the memory polling box by printing it out.  
When using F-code polling memory, do not set the reception mode to manual reception.  
Caution  
Scanning a document into an F-code polling memory box  
The procedure for scanning a document into an F-code polling memory box (p.103) is almost the same as the  
procedure for scanning a document into the PUBLIC BOX for normal polling memory. Instead of touching the  
[PUBLIC BOX] key in Step 6 of Scanning a document into polling memory (the Public Box) on page 35, touch the  
key of the memory box into which you wish to scan the document. If a document has already been stored in that box,  
the new document will be stored along with the existing document. If you no longer need the existing document,  
delete it as explained in "Checking and deleting a document in a memory box" below.  
When you touch the memory box into which you wish to scan the document, the key is  
highlighted and selected as the scanning destination.

F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION  
F-code confidential transmission is performed in the same way as a normal transmission (see chapter 2); however,  
you must enter the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) after the fax number of the other machine. (Omit the  
passcode if the other machine does not use a passcode.)  
For the procedure for entering sub-addresses and passcodes, see "ENTERING A SUB-ADDRESS AND

F-code confidential reception is performed in the same way as normal reception (see chapter 2); however, you must  
inform the other party of the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) of your confidential memory box. (Omit the  
passcode if a passcode is not programmed in the box.)  
An F-code confidential transmission can be used in combination with the broadcast transmission function*  
(p.27) or the timer transmission function (p.30), and can be stored as a program (p.73).  
*Only when the destinations are stored in rapid keys.  
Note  
F-code confidential transmission is not possible if the other machine does not support F-code transmission or  
does not have an F-code memory box programmed.  
Before performing an F-code confidential transmission, you will need to ask the operator of the other machine  
for the sub-address and passcode programmed in that machine. You can omit entry of the passcode if a  
passcode is not programmed in the other machine.  
A sub-address and passcode can be stored in a rapid key together with a fax number. To store rapid keys, see

F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST  
TRANSMISSION  
The F-code relay broadcast function is used to have a relay request fax machine send a fax to a relay fax machine,  
and then have the relay fax machine send the fax to mulitple end receiving machines. To use this function, the fax  
numbers of the end receiving machines must be stored in the relay machine.  
The relay machine and the relay request machine (original sender of the fax) must both support F-codes; however,  
the end receiving machines do not need to support F-codes.

The machine that originally sends the document is called the relay request machine, and the machine that has a  
memory box containing the end receiving machines and which relays the received document to those machines is  
called the relay machine.  
The document sent by the relay request machine is also printed by the relay machine.  
For example, corporate headquarters in Seattle wants to send the same document to branch offices in San  
Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose. If the San Francisco office creates a relay broadcast memory box and  
programs the Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose offices as end receiving destinations, the overall phone charges will  
be lower than if the Seattle office uses the regular broadcast transmission function (p.26). This function can also be  
combined with a timer setting (p.30) to take advantage of off-peak rates, allowing a further reduction in phone  
charges.  
Transmission by the relay machine is called "F-code relay broadcast transmission", and transmission from the relay  
request machine to the relay machine is called "F-code relay request transmission".  
For information on Sharp's reqular relay broadcast function, which uses the programmed sender's number and  
Note  
relay ID code, see "SENDING FAXES USING THE RELAY REQUEST FUNCTION" on page 49.  
To create an F-code relay broadcast memory box and program, edit, and delete end receiving machines, see  
"F-CODE MEMORY BOX" on page 103. When creating a box, a passcode (SID) can be omitted.  
The relay request machine only bears the expense of sending the document to the relay machine. The relay  
machine bears the expense of sending the document to each of the end receiving machines.  
59  
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES  
USING THE F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST FUNCTION  
(your machine is the relay machine)  
When a document is received from a relay request machine, the F-code relay broadcast function transmits the  
document to the end receiving machines using a memory box only if the sub-address and passcode sent by the  
relay request machine are correct.  
Refer to "F-CODE MEMORY BOX" on page 103 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting memory  
boxes.  
Up to 120 end receiving machines (rapid keys or group keys, and full fax numbers entered with the numeric keys)  
can be programmed in an F-code relay broadcast memory box.  
A document received from a relay request machine is initially stored in the memory box of your machine. Your  
machine (the relay machine) also prints the document, thus the document is first stored as a print job and then as  
transmission jobs to each of the programmed end receiving machines. The document data is automatically cleared  
after transmission to all end receiving machines is finished.  
USING THE F-CODE RELAY REQUEST FUNCTION  
(your machine requests a relay broadcast)  
First ask the operator of the other F-code machine to create an F-code relay broadcast memory box and program  
the end receiving machines in that box. Ask the operator of the other machine for the sub-address (SUB) and  
passcode (SID) of the memory box.  
When you send the document to the relay machine, enter the sub-address and passcode after the fax number. The  
document will be stored in the memory box of the relay machine, and then transmitted from the relay machine to  
each of the programmed end receiving machines. A passcode (SID) need not be entered when dialing if a passcode  
was not programmed for the memory box.  
Aside from the method of dialing the relay machine, the transmission procedure is the same as for a normal  
transmission (see chapter 2).  
See "ENTERING A SUB-ADDRESS AND PASSCODE FOR A MEMORY BOX IN THE OTHER MACHINE" on  
page 53 for the procedure for entering a sub-address and passcode after the fax number of the other

This chapter explains convenient features that can be used to send a document, as well as features that expand the  
range of use of the fax machine such as connecting an extension phone.  
CONNECTING AN EXTENSION PHONE  
You can connect a telephone to the machine and use it as an extension phone to place and receive calls like any  
normal phone. You can also activate fax reception from the phone (remote operation).  
If you connect a combination telephone/answering machine to the machine, you will not be able to use the  
answering machine function.  
Note  
The extension phone must be directly connected to the machine's extension phone jack as explained below.  
CONNECTING AN EXTENSION PHONE  
Make sure you hear a  
"click" sound indicating  
that the cord is securely  
connected.  
Insert the end of the extension phone

cord into the extension phone jack on  
the rear of the machine.

SENDING A FAX AFTER TALKING ON THE PHONE  
(MANUAL TRANSMISSION)  
If the other fax machine is set to manual reception, you can talk to the other party and then send a fax without  
breaking the connection. This procedure is called manual transmission.  
Automatic redialing ("If the receiving party is busy" (p.15)) will not take place if the line is busy.  
Note  
Make sure that the machine is in fax  
mode.  
Select the original size, resolution,  
exposure, and other settings as  
needed.

CONVENIENT METHODS OF USE  
Activating fax reception from an extension phone (remote reception)  
After speaking on the extension phone, you can activate fax reception from the extension phone. This is called  
"remote reception". After speaking, or when you hear a fax tone through the extension phone, perform the following  
procedure with the extension phone still lifted.  
This function cannot be used if you are on a pulse dial line and the extension phone cannot issue tone signals.  
To find out whether or not the extension telephone can issue tone signals, see the phones manual.  
Note  
If you are on a pulse dial line, set your  
phone to issue tone signals.  
Refer to your phone's manual to set the phone to  
issue tone signals.  
If your phone is already set to issue tone signals,  
proceed to the next step.  
Press the "5" key on the extension  
phone's keypad, and then press the  
1

"
" key twice.  
Fax reception is activated.  
Replace the extension phone.  
The one-digit number that is used to activate fax reception from an extension phone (initially set to "5") is called  
the "remote reception number". You can change this number to any number from 0 to 9 in the key operator  
programs. ("REMOTE RECEPTION NUMBER SETTING" (p.99))  
Note  
When the machine is in Fax mode  
A fax can be received manually even when transmission is in progress.  
When the machine rings, lift the  
extension phone and speak.  
If you hear a fax tone through the extension  
phone, do not speak and proceed to the next  
step.  
Replace the extension phone.

When reception is finished, you will hear a "beep"  
sound and the fax will be printed.

If there are previously stored print jobs,  
Note  
the received fax will be printed after the  
previously stored jobs are finished.  
You can talk on the extension phone and

FAXING A DOCUMENT FROM A  
COMPUTER (PC-FAX)  
If a computer is connected to the machine and the PC-FAX driver installed in the computer, a document created on  
the computer can be sent directly to a fax machine. There is no need to print the document and then scan it on the  
machine.  
• This function can only be used for transmission. Faxes sent to the machine cannot be received by the  
computer.  
Note  
• After sending a fax from your computer, check with the recipient to see if the fax was received. You can also  
check the result of transmission on a Activity report. (p.85)  
• Regardless of the fax settings, this function only rotates 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) length (11" x 17" (A3) width) originals  
before transmission.  
• Originals less than 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) width are transmitted as 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) width documents.  
• This function can only be used in a Windows environment.

USING PC-FAX TRANSMISSION  
To fax a document using the PC-FAX function, use the same procedure as when you print the document from the  
application. First switch to the installed PC-FAX driver and then execute printing. Image data for fax transmission will  
be generated and the image sent as a fax.  
For more information on using the PC-FAX function, see the "Operation manual" that is installed along with the  
PC-FAX driver. To open the manual, click the Windows Start button, select "All Programs" ("Programs" in operating  
systems other than Windows XP), "SHARP PC-FAX Driver", and then "Operation manual".

This chapter explains how to program auto dial keys (rapid and group keys), programs, relay groups, and user  
indexes. It also explains how to print out lists of stored settings.  
PROGRAMMING  
Auto dial keys (rapid and group keys), programs, relay groups, and user indexes are stored and edited using the  
operation panel of the machine.  
STORING, EDITING, AND DELETING  
AUTO DIAL KEYS, PROGRAMS,  
AND RELAY GROUPS  
This section explains the procedures for storing, editing, and deleting auto-dial keys (rapid keys and group keys),  
programs, and relay groups. (The procedure for using rapid keys and group keys is explained in "TRANSMISSION  
BY AUTO-DIALING (RAPID DIALING AND GROUP DIALING)" on page 16, the procedure for using programs is  
explained "PROGRAMMING FREQUENTLY USED OPERATIONS" on page 41, and the procedure for using relay  
groups is explained in "SENDING FAXES USING THE RELAY REQUEST FUNCTION" on page 49.)  
A combined total of 500 rapid keys and group keys can be stored. Eight programs and ten relay groups can also be  
stored. If you attempt to store more than these, a warning message will appear. In this case, delete any auto-dial  
keys, programs, or relay groups that are no longer needed (rapid keys: page 70, group keys: page 72, programs:  
page 74, relay groups: page 77), and then store the new auto-dial key, program, or relay group.  
To cancel a storing, editing, or deleting procedure, press the [CLEAR ALL] key (  
condition settings screen.

This chapter contains information to help you make efficient use of the fax features of the machine, including  
solutions to common problems.  
WHEN A TRANSACTION REPORT  
IS PRINTED  
The machine has been set to automatically print a Transaction Report when a transmission is not successful or  
when the Broadcast transmission function is used. The Transaction Report informs you of the result of the operation.  
When the machine prints a Transaction Report, be sure to check the contents.  
The initial settings (factory settings) for printing Transaction Reports are indicated by shading  
below. The  
settings can be changed in the key operator programs. ("TRANSACTION REPORT PRINT SELECT SETTING"  
(p.98))  
PRINT OUT ERROR REPORT ONLY  
G Single sending: PRINT OUT ALL REPORT /  
G Receiving: PRINT OUT ALL REPORT / PRINT OUT ERROR REPORT ONLY / NO PRINTED REPORT  
PRINT OUT ALL REPORT  
/ NO PRINTED REPORT  
G Broadcasting:  
/PRINT OUT ERROR REPORT ONLY /NO PRINTED REPORT  
G Confidential reception: PRINT OUT NOTICE PAGE / NO PRINTED REPORT  
The Transaction Report shows the date of transmission, the time transmission began, the other party's name, the  
duration of the operation, the number of pages, and the result.  
The list count appears in the "#" column of the Transaction Report and a serial number appears in the FILE  
column. (These numbers are not related to the transaction.)  
Note  
When a Transaction Report is printed for a regular transmission or broadcast transmission, a portion of the  
original document is printed along with the Transaction Report. You can set the machine to not print the  
original in the key operator programs. ("IMAGE MEMORY PRINT SELECT SETTING" (p.99))

VIEWING THE COMMUNICATION  
ACTIVITY REPORT  
Your machine keeps a record of the most recent 50 transactions (both transmissions and receptions) that were  
performed. The record includes the date of the transaction, the other party's name, the duration, and result. You can  
have the report automatically printed when the number of transactions exceeds 50, or at a specified time. This  
allows you to check the machine's activity at regular intervals.  
The machine is initially set (factory setting) to never print the report. If you wish to print the report every 50  
transactions or have it printed at a specified time, change the setting in the key operator programs. ("ACTIVITY  
REPORT PRINT SELECT SETTING" (p.98))  
The report can be printed repeatedly.  
Refer to the table in "When a Transaction Report is printed" on page 84 for the notes that appear in the  
Note  
TYPE/NOTE column.  
PRINTING REPORTS  
Communication reports and settings can be printed as lists.  
The following reports can be printed:

phone connected to the machine by entering a 1-digit  
number and pressing [ ] twice on the phone's  
keypad. This number is called the remote reception  
number, and you can set it to any number from "0" to  
"9".  
AUTO REDUCTION SENDING SETTING  
This program is used to have transmitted documents  
automatically reduced to match the size of the other  
machine's printing paper. When this program is  
disabled, documents are sent in their original size, and  
because the size is not adjusted to match the size of  
the printing paper, part of the received document may  
be cut off.  
The factory default setting is "5".  
EXTERNAL TELEPHONE SETTING  
(only when an extension phone is connected)  
This program is initially enabled (factory default  
setting).  
Enable this setting when an extension phone is  
connected to the machine. If this setting is not  
enabled, it will not be possible to use an extension  
phone connected to the machine to manually receive  
faxes or place/receive phone calls.

DISTINCTIVE RING DETECTION  
If multiple telephone numbers have been assigned to  
your telephone line, the number called can be  
identified by its ringing pattern. By using one number  
for voice calls and another number for faxes, you can  
tell which type of call you are receiving by the ringing  
pattern. You can set your machine to automatically  
receive faxes when your fax number is called by  
setting the pattern that corresponds to your fax  
number. Six selections are available.

CALL TIMER AT MEMORY SENDING  
When sending a fax by automatic transmission  
("Storing transmission jobs (memory transmission)"  
(p.15)), this setting lets you select the amount of time  
that the machine waits before breaking the connection  
when the other machine does not respond to your  
machine's calling tone. If the other machine does not  
respond within this set time, your machine will  
automatically break the connection.  
DEFAULT SENDING MODE  
This program is used to select [MEMORY TX] or  
[DIRECT TX] for the default transmission mode. For  
more information on these modes, see page 14.  
The factory default setting is "MEMORY TX".

When this program is enabled, a cover page is  
automatically generated and added to each fax  
transmission. The cover page shows the date, time,  
destination name, destination fax number, sender's  
name, sender's fax number, number of pages, and a  
message if the message function is selected. A cover  
sheet cannot be added when scanning a document  
into polling memory or F-code polling memory, or  
when performing polling, direct transmission, relay  
broadcast transmission, F-code relay broadcast  
transmission, or manual transmission.  
RECALL IN CASE OF LINE BUSY  
When sending a document, this setting is used to  
select whether your machine will automatically  
re-attempt the call when the other machine fails to  
answer or the line is busy. The number of recall  
attempts can be set from 1 to 14, and the interval  
between attempts can be set from 1 to 15 minutes in  
increments of 1 minute. To disable automatic recalling,

When you receive a fax that includes the sender's  
name and number, the received image is slightly larger  
than the standard sizes*. This setting can be enabled  
to have the received image automatically reduced  
before printing to fit the standard paper sizes.  
This program is initially enabled (factory default  
setting).  
INDEX PRINT  
If you turn automatic reduction off, the  
overall printed image may be larger than the  
original and the excess portion may be cut  
off. However, the printed image will be the  
same size as the original and thus clearer.  
Note  
This program is used to have an index (black mark)  
printed at the top of received fax pages. The mark  
moves from left to right as pages are printed.  
This program is initially disabled (factory default setting).  
* Standard paper sizes are sizes such as 8-1/2" x 11"  
and 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  
RECEIVED DATA PRINT CONDITION  
When this program is enabled and a received fax is held in  
memory because there is a problem that prevents printing  
such as no suitable paper, any faxes received after that  
fax which can be printed will be given priority and printed.  
This program is initially enabled (factory default setting).  
DUPLEX RECEPTION SETTING  
When the duplex module is installed, this setting can be  
enabled to have received documents printed on both  
sides of the paper. When enabled, received faxes will be  
printed on both sides of the paper whenever the fax  
consists of two or more pages of the same size of paper.  
This program is initially disabled (factory default  
setting).  
A3 RX REDUCE  
When this program is enabled and an A3 size fax is  
received, the fax is reduced to letter width before printing.  
When the program is enabled, W letter is considered to

Check the connections  
Is the interface cable compatible with the machine  
and computer?  
If the interface cable becomes disconnected  
If the interface cable becomes disconnected, even only once  
during the machine's operation, then printing may be  
disrupted.  
If this occurs, check the interface cable and ensure that it is  
securely connected, then restart the computer.  
Interface cables compatible with this machine are USB and  
parallel cables. Check which type of cable is supported by  
your computer.  
For the specifications of the interface cable, see  
"CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER" in the  
software setup guide.  
Is the interface cable connected securely?  
Check if the interface cable is securely plugged into the  
connectors of the machine and computer.  
To connect the cable, see "CONNECTING TO A  
COMPUTER" in the software setup guide.  
Are any other USB peripherals being connected  
along with the machine?  
If your computer is connected to the machine through a USB  
hub, see if printing is possible when no other USB devices  
are connected, or if printing is possible when the machine  
and computer are directly connected.

Check Your Computer  
Is there enough computer memory or hard disk  
space?  
If your computer is connected to the machine  
through the parallel port, is the parallel port (LPT)  
mode set to other than EPP mode?  
To use the machine, your computer must have sufficient  
memory and hard disk space. If there is insufficient hard disk  
space, delete unnecessary files to increase the free space of  
the hard disk. If there is insufficient memory, close  
unnecessary applications to increase memory available for  
printing.  
The machine may not operate correctly if the parallel port  
mode is set to EPP mode. To set the parallel port mode to a  
mode other than EPP mode, refer to your computer manual  
or ask the manufacturer of the computer. ECP mode is  
recommended to obtain the best performance from the  
machine. Note that some computers may use different  
names for the modes.  
If you are using Windows XP, the "Found New Hardware  
Note  
Wizard" may appear after you change the port setting. In  
this case, click the "Cancel" button to close the wizard,  
and then reinstall the printer driver as explained in  
"INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE" in the software setup  
guide.

in key operator's guide.  
Start printing after quitting all unused application software  
programs.  
Is an appropriate print quality selected in the printer  
driver?  
Did you attempt to print more pages than can be  
stapled?  
When the "Print quality" setting in the "Advanced" tab of the  
printer driver is "Normal" or "Photo", slow printing may result.  
Be sure to select a print quality that is suitable for the  
document or image being printed.  
The maximum number of sheets that can be stapled is 30.

content and no curling.  
Is the paper loaded with the wrong side up?  
Some types of paper have a front and a back side. If the  
paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the back side,  
toner will not adhere well to the paper and poor print quality  
will result.  
Are you printing on paper that has an uneven  
surface?  
It may not be possible to print correctly on paper with seams  
such as the back of an envelope.
