Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide Choosing a Location Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket, grounded power outlet. Avoid placing the machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or

PREPARATION AND SIMPLE USE Connecting the Power Cord • This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug. • Since the machine is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to the machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move the machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you nee

Memory Storage In the event of a power failure, all settings in the menus are stored permanently except for the settings that are valid for the next fax only (e.g. contrast, overseas mode). Multi-Line Connections (PABXs) Most offices use a central telephone system, or PABX. The machine will work with most PABX or key systems that allow a two-wire analogue connection. However, we recommend that you have a separate telephone line for the machine. You can then leave the machine in Fax Only Mode

PREPARATION AND SIMPLE USE Using Extension Telephones It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to the machine. While the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension te

Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence You might choose to connect an additional answering machine. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. The machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear the CNG tones, the machine will not answer the call, and messages can be left on the TAD by callers in the normal way. The TAD m

PREPARATION AND SIMPLE USE Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. 1 We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds. 2 Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so reception can be faster.) 3 We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote Activation Code for p
