Notice about the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (Valid in the USA only)
Attention please!
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 among other things makes it unlawful for any
person to send any message via a telephone fax machine 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. This information is transmitted with your document by the TTI feature.
In order for you to meet the requirement, your machine must be programmed by following the
instructions in the accompanying Operation Manual. In particular, please refer to the "Getting
Started" and/or "Programming" sections. Also refer to the TTI (Transmit Terminal Identification)
programming procedure to enter the business identification and telephone number of the terminal or
business. Do not forget to set the date and time.
Thank you

box. Then in a few days, depending on the postal service, the letter will arrive at its destination. However, you
may not be aware of its arrival until you get a return letter.
A fax machine speeds this process up. After you have written your letter, place it in your fax machines docu-
ment feeder, dial the destinations fax number, then press the Start key on your fax machines operation panel.
The fax machine scans your letter, and converts it into a series of black and white dots (the number of dots
there are across the page and down the page depends on the resolution that you selected; refer to the specifica-
tions section of this manual for details). This series of dots is transformed into an electrical signal and sent
out over the telephone line to the fax machine at the destination.
The fax machine at the destination reconstructs your letter from the received signal, and prints it. The quality
of the printed message is not as good as the original, but it is good enough for most purposes.
If you are worried about whether the message arrived at the destination, you can check the report known as the
TCR (Transaction Confirmation Report), also called the Journal in some areas. When you print this report,
you will see the results of the most recent fax communications made by your machine.
You can use your fax machine to send and receive any type of document, even photographs.

There are three resolution settings to choose from.
❐ Detail: Use this for documents with small print or fine details
To change the resolution, press Detail/Fine until the indicator next to the required setting
is lit. If neither of the Detail or Fine indicators is lit, the machine is in Standard resolution
mode.
You can change the resolution for each page. The machine checks the resolution setting just before
it scans each page. If you wish to change the resolution between pages, wait till the current page is
pulled into the machine, then choose the resolution setting that is needed for the next page.
Note: If the receiving terminal is not equipped to receive at high resolution, it will print
your document at the highest resolution that it can.

Higher resolutions also do this. This is because these settings create larger files that contain more
information.
Note: For speedy transmission, use Standard resolution, and keep Halftone off.
CAUTION: If you use Halftone with Memory Transmission, the document may not
be scanned completely because there may be too much data to fit into memory.
Do not use Memory Transmission if you intend to use Halftone mode.

The TAM Ring Count must be set to one ring more than the number of rings that your answering
machine waits before it takes the call. To check this number, have a friend call and do not answer
the phone. Count the number of rings that you hear before the answering machine takes the call.
Example: If your answering machine is set up to take the call after 4 rings, set the TAM Ring Count
to 5 rings.
This time must be shorter than the time that your answering machine takes to detect silence and
disconnect the line. Otherwise, the answering machine will disconnect the line before the fax
machine has a chance to answer the call.
However, the setting must be long enough to prevent the fax machine from taking the call during a

you hear the beep. If you would like to send a fax message, place your fax message in
your document feeder, then press Start on your fax machine, then hang up."
When you are going to leave the fax machine unattended, do the following:
❐ Set the "At Home/Out" switch on the answering machine to "At Home".
If you need to make a copy of something, and there is no copier available, use your
fax machine.
Just place your original in the feeder, select the required resolution and halftone settings,
Note: Copying an original is a good way to test contrast and resolution before send-
ing a document, if you are not sure that the settings are appropriate. The copy
made by your fax machine shows you how the message would look when re-
ceived at the other end. If it does not look good, change the settings and try
again. See page 18 for details on the various resolution and halftone settings.

4. Authorized Reception
If you only wish to receive messages from certain people, switch Authorized Reception on.
People will not be able to send you a message unless you have programmed their number as
a Quick Dial or as a Speed Dial. This helps to prevent junk fax mail.
You will not be able to receive messages from a particular location, unless you have already
programmed it as a Quick or Speed Dial, and sent a fax to it at some time. While faxing, your
machine stores the other party’s identification signal (RTI or CSI). Your machine will recognize this
signal when that machine calls later to send you a fax message.
If one of the authorized terminals changes their RTI/CSI, you will not be able to accept messages
from that sender any more, unless you send them a fax message first so that your machine can
memorize the new identification.

This feature helps to stop you from accidentally sending a fax message to a terminal that is
outside your fax network. It may also help you to prevent reception of excessive junk fax
mail.
The ID Codes of the communicating machines are checked. If they are not the same, the
communication is stopped.
Contact a service technician if you are interested in having this turned on or off.
Note: ❐ This feature may not be reliable if you are communicating with a terminal
produced by a different manufacturer.

If your machine has a problem, a service technician can perform various diagnostic tasks
over the telephone line from the service station to try to find out what is wrong with your
machine.
The service technician can also use RDS to change some of your machines settings if you re-
quest it. For some operations, it may be necessary to have a user near the machine.
Your machine is initially set up to accept RDS operations at any time, and you will not be
able to operate Function 19. However, if you wish to prevent the service station from access-
ing your machine by RDS, contact a service technician. Then you will be able to operate
If you have disabled RDS, you may occasionally have a problem that requires you to set up
