CANON Faxphone L170 - Order information - 1

NOTE

Canon recommends an individual line following industry standards, e.g., the 2500 (Touch Tone) or 500 (Rotary/Pulse Dial) telephones. A dedicated extension off a PBX machine without "Call Waiting" can be used with your FAXPHONE L170. Key telephone systems are not recommended because they send non-standard signals to individual telephones for ringing and special codes, which may cause a fax error.

C. Power requirements

This equipment should be connected to a standard 120-volt AC, three-wire grounded outlet only. Do not connect this machine to an outlet or power line shared with other appliances that cause "electrical noise." Air conditioners, electric typewriters, copiers, and machines of this sort generate electrical noise which often interferes with communications equipment and the sending and receiving of documents.

Connection of the equipment

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular jack are provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation instructions for details.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 10 is a REN of 1.0).

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

This equipment if it uses a telephone receiver is hearing aid compatible.

Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs.

In case of equipment malfunction

Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this guide, disconnect the equipment from the telephone line and unplug the power cord. The telephone line should not be reconnected or the power cord plugged in until the problem is completely resolved. Users should contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities for servicing of equipment. Information regarding Authorized Service Facility locations can be obtained by calling the Canon Customer Care Center. (1-800-828-4040)

Rights of the telephone company

Should the equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service. The telephone company also retains the right to make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, the telephone company is required to give adequate prior notice to the user.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CANON Faxphone L170 - Notice - 1

FAXPHONE L170

The Main Features of the Machine

This machine is a multifunction system for your home or small office, and combines a plain paper fax machine, a laser printer, a copier, and a telephone into a single, convenient desktop machine.

The machine's multitasking ability enables you to perform multiple operations simultaneously. For example, you can print a document or make copies at the same time you are sending a fax.

The compact size of the machine makes it ideal for desktop use, and allows you to use it in places where other machines may not fit.

Fax Features

■UHQ™ Image Processing System

The machine uses Canon's Ultra High Quality Image Processing System to provide enhanced definition in faxed photos.

■Error Correction Mode (ECM)

The machine's Error Correction Mode (ECM) reduces transmission errors while communicating with another ECM-capable machine.

■Automatic switching between fax and voice calls

The machine can automatically distinguish between fax and voice calls, so that you can receive both through a single phone line.

■Answering machine connection

You can connect an answering machine to receive telephone messages while you are away.

■Transmission speed

The machine uses G3 data encoding methods that increase transmission speed to approx. 3 seconds* per page.

■Memory sending/receiving

■Reduced-size printing

The machine automatically scales received faxes to fit the size of the paper loaded in the machine.

■Automatic dialing and broadcasting

For easier faxing, the machine provides One-Touch Speed Dialing, Coded Speed Dialing, and Group Dialing methods for automatic dialing. It also allows you to broadcast or send a fax at a preset time to as many as 142 locations.

Printer Features

■Excellent print quality

The machine offers 1200 dpi enhanced × 600 dpi laser beam printing, providing you with high resolution text and graphics.

■Simple maintenance

The S35 Cartridge for the machine contains both the toner and drum, making installation and replacement simple.

■Economy toner-saving printing

The machine includes an economy printing mode which allows you to reduce toner consumption by approx. 30%.

Copier Features

■Up to 99 copies

The machine can make up to 99 copies of a document at a time, at a rate of up to 19 copies per minute on LTR-Size paper.

■Resolution

The machine scans documents at 300 × 300 dpi. Printing resolution is 1200 dpi enhanced × 600 dpi.

■Copy enlargement/reduction

The machine can reduce or enlarge copies in the range between 50% and 200% of their original size.

CHAPTER

This chapter tells you how to unpack, assemble, and connect your machine, install the toner cartridge, and load paper—everything you need to know to get your machine ready to use.

Choosing a Location for Your Machine

Before unpacking your machine, follow these guidelines to choose an appropriate location for the machine.

CANON Faxphone L170 - Choosing a Location for Your Machine - 1

CAUTION

Please review the information provided in "Safety information" on p. v, to make sure you are installing your machine for safe use.

- Put the machine in a cool, dry, clean, well-ventilated place:

  • Make sure the area is free from dust.
  • Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature fluctuations, and remains between 50°F and 90.5°F (10° and 32.5°C).
  • Make sure the area's relative humidity is always between 20% and 80%.

- Keep the machine away from direct sunlight.

- If possible, place the machine near an existing telephone outlet, to allow for an easy connection of the telephone line to the machine.

- Place the machine near an electrical wall outlet that provides 120 V AC (60 Hz) power.

- Place the machine near the PC you will be connecting it to. Make sure you can reach it easily, as you will be using the machine as a printer, fax machine, copier, and telephone.

- Do not plug the machine into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner, electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can interfere with your machine's ability to send or receive faxes.

- Set the machine on a flat, stable, vibration-free surface that is strong enough to support its weight approx. 24.7 lb (11.2 kg).

Unpacking Your Machine

Follow the directions below to unpack your machine properly, and to make sure you have all of its components and documentation.

Do You Have Everything?

As you unpack the machine, save the carton and packing material in case you want to move or ship the machine in the future.

Carefully remove all items from the box. You should have someone help by holding the box while you lift the machine and its protective packaging out of the carton.

Make sure you have the following items:

Registering Required Sender Information

In the United States, FCC rules governing the use of facsimile equipment state that the following sender information must be printed on every facsimile transmission:

  • Your fax number
  • Your personal name or company name

The time and date of transmission

Your machine has been designed to print this information at the top of every fax you send. You must therefore register your machine's telephone/fax number, your personal name or company name, and the current date and time before using your machine. This section gives details on registering your sender information.

What is Sender Information?

When you receive a fax, the name of the person or company who sent you the fax, their fax/telephone number, and the date and time of transmission will be printed in small type at the top of each page. This information is called the Sender information or the Transmit Terminal Identification (TTI). You must register your details in your machine so that whenever you send a fax, the other party knows who sent it, and when it was sent. Below is an example of how your sender information would print on a fax sent from your machine:

12/26/2004 10.12 FAX 123 4587 YOUR NAME + RECEIVER 2 001 THE SLEREXE COMPANY LIMITED SAPORS LANE&GOOGLE+ORSETEN+86 SER (→ TEL NUMBER MARK, p. 15-6). Your name or telephone number.

CHAPTER

This chapter describes how to select and prepare the print media for the different functions your machine can perform.

For high-quality printing, we recommend using paper and transparencies recommended by Canon. Some types of paper available at office supply stores may not be suitable for the machine. If you have any questions about paper and transparencies, contact the Canon Customer Care Center.

Paper Storage

In order to prevent paper jams, do the following:

  • To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store paper in a dry location, out of direct sunlight.
  • To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.
  • If the paper is curled, uncurl it before loading it in the cassette or multi-purpose feeder. Failure to do so will cause paper creases and a paper jam.

■Unacceptable Paper

Do not print on the following types of paper stock. Doing so may result in paper jams.

•Severely curled or wrinkled paper - Transparencies designed for full-color copiers or printers - Paper which has already been copied using a digital full-color copier (Do not print on the reverse side.) - Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side.)

CANON Faxphone L170 - IMPORTANT - 1

NOTE

  • The printing speed may become slower than usual depending on the paper size, the paper type, and the number of sheets you specify. This is because the machine's safety function works to prevent the failure due to heat.
  • Some types of paper may not feed properly into the cassette or the multi-purpose feeder.

Printing Areas

Please note that the term “printing area” represents both the recommended area for optimum print quality and the entire area where the machine can technically print from your computer.

Printing area (light shade): Canon recommends that you print within this area.

This section describes how to load paper in the cassette and the multi-purpose feeder.

CANON Faxphone L170 - NOTE - 1

CAUTION

When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

CANON Faxphone L170 - CAUTION - 1

NOTE

  • The paper in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.
  • The cassette holds up to approx. 250 sheets of 17 lb (64 g/m²) paper or approx. 20 envelopes.

When the message appears in the LCD display, you need to add paper to the paper cassette. Here are a few tips you should follow when you load paper into the paper cassette.

  • Be sure to load paper of the correct size, weight, and quantity recommended for your machine.
  • Stack the paper so that the top and bottom edges and sides are straight and even before placing it in the paper cassette.
  • Do not print on both sides of the paper. Doing so may cause several sheets to feed into the machine at the same time.
  • Let the paper run out before you refill the paper cassette.
  • Avoid mixing new stock with paper already loaded in the paper cassette. When adding new stock to the cassette, be sure to remove the remaining paper in the cassette and reload it together with the new stock. Failure to do so may cause paper jams.

CANON Faxphone L170 - NOTE - 1

NOTE

  • Do not use damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper as these can cause paper jams or poor print quality.
  • Highly textured, extremely smooth or shiny paper does not print well.
  • The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, vaporize, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at temperatures near 340°F (170°C). For example, do not use vellum paper in a laser printer. Make sure any letterhead or colored paper you use can withstand high temperatures.
  • Make sure the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.
  • To keep the paper from curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper from opened packs in a cool, dry location in the original packaging.
  • Your machine is factory-set to use LTR-size paper in the paper cassette.

If you wish to use different sized paper, you must change the setting using the menu. See p. 15-2 for more details.

- Do not load paper from the rear of the cassette under the dust cover.

Adjusting the Resolution and Contrast

Adjusting the Image Quality (Resolution)

Canon's Ultra High Quality (UHQ™) imaging technology enables you to send faxes with a print quality that is very close to that of the original document. The machine also lets you adjust the resolution it uses in sending faxes to best suit your particular document.

The machine has 5 resolution settings:

  • is adequate for most text documents.
  • is suitable for documents with fine print (smaller than the print in this sentence).
  • is for documents that contain photographs. With this setting, areas of the document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 256 levels of gray, rather than just two (black and white). This gives a much better reproduction of the photos, though transmission time is longer.
  • is for documents that contain fine print and images (much smaller than the print in this sentence), and its resolution is four times of .
  • is for documents that contain fine print and images (much smaller than the print in this sentence), and its resolution is eight times of .

CHAPTER

This chapter describes how to use your machine to receive faxes.

Different Ways to Receive a Fax

The machine provides you with 5 different modes for receiving faxes. To decide which mode will best suit your requirements, consider how you want to use the machine:

Receive Mode Main Use Operation Requirements
FaxOnly* FaxAnswers all calls as fax calls. It receives faxes automatically and disconnects voice calls.Separate telephone line for fax use only.
FaxTel Fax/TelAutomatically switches between fax calls and voice calls. Receives faxes automatically and rings for voice calls. To set the details see p. 7-2.Handset or telephone connected to the machine.
Manual TelRings for every call, whether it is a fax call or a voice call. For a fax call, you have to manually activate reception of the fax.Handset or telephone connected to the machine.
AnsMode Fax/TelReceives faxes automatically and routes voice calls to the answering machine.Answering machine connected to the machine.
DRPD Fax/TelRings differently depending on whether a call is a fax or voice call.Subscription to a DRPD service. Handset or the extension telephone connected to your machine.

* Factory default setting

You can confirm which receive mode is set by checking the standby display. The receive mode is displayed in the lower left of the LCD.

Setting the Receive Mode

Set the machine receive mode as follows:

1 Open One-Touch Speed Dial panel → press [Receive Mode].

The LCD display shows the current receive mode setting.

2 If you want to change the receive mode, press [Receive Mode] repeatedly until the mode you want appears → press [Set].

Each time you press [Receive Mode], the receive mode changes in the following order:

FaxOnly → DRPD → Manual → AnsMode → FaxTel → FaxOnly → ...

Receiving Faxes and Phone Calls Automatically: FaxTel Mode

Set this mode if you want your machine to automatically switch between voice and fax calls.

You can control precisely how your machine handles incoming calls by adjusting the settings below.

Setting the Options for FaxTel Mode

■RING START TIME

When a call comes in, the machine checks to see if it is a person wishing to speak to you or a fax machine trying to send a document. If your machine does not have enough time to detect the fax tone, it assumes the call is from a telephone. Use the setting to increase the time the machine takes to check whether a call is from a fax machine or a telephone. You can select a time between 0 and 30 seconds; the default is 6 seconds.

■F/T RING TIME

When your machine is set to receive both fax and telephone calls automatically, the telephone rings to alert you to pick up the handset if the call is from a person. If you do not pick up the handset within a certain amount of time, the telephone stops ringing. Use this option to change the number of times the machine rings, from 15 to 300 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.

■F/T SWITCH ACTION

Not all fax machines are capable of sending a fax tone (the CNG tone that warns the receiving fax machine that a fax is coming). For those cases the machine may think that the call coming in is a voice call and rings to alert you of the call (the amount of time it is going to ring is determined by the setting above). If you do not answer the call, one of two things can happen:

  1. If you set the to 'RECEIVE', the machine will switch to fax receive mode automatically at that point and start to receive the document. If no document comes in, it disconnects the call after approx. 40 seconds. The factory default setting is 'RECEIVE'.
  2. If you set the to 'DISCONNECT', the machine will disconnect the phone call immediately freeing up your phone line at this point.

Receiving Faxes Manually: Manual Mode

To use this mode, you must have the handset or a telephone connected to the machine. In Manual Mode, the machine rings every time it receives a call, whether the call is from a telephone or a fax machine.

CANON Faxphone L170 - Receiving Faxes Manually: Manual Mode - 1

NOTE

Make sure the setting in the menu is enabled. See p. 15-11 for details.

If you use your machine with Manual Mode, answer incoming calls as follows:

1 When the handset or the telephone rings, pick up the receiver.

- If you hear a person's voice:

☐ Start your conversation. If the caller wants to send a document after talking to you, ask them to press the start button on their fax machine. When you hear a beep, press [Start] to begin receiving the document, then hang up.

● If you hear a slow beep or silence:

☐ A fax machine is trying to send you a document.

Press [Start] on the machine, then hang up.

-or-

Enter the two-digit ID code from the telephone, then hang up.

- The machine then begins receiving the document. (This is particularly convenient if your telephone is located away from the machine.)

- If you do not hang up after pressing [Start] or the two-digit ID code, the machine beeps intermittently after you receive the document.

(You can turn the beeping off by disabling the in the menu. See p. 15-7 for details.)

CANON Faxphone L170 - NOTE - 1

NOTE

If you have an answering machine connected to your machine that can carry out remote-control operations (controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the security code for this function may be the same as the two-digit ID code described above. If so, make sure you change the machine two-digit ID code to make it distinct from the answering machine's security code. See p. 15-11 for details on changing the code ( setting).

Receiving Faxes Automatically: FaxOnly Mode

When the machine is set up for a dedicated line, set FaxOnly Mode to automatically receive documents whenever a call comes over the fax line.

  • The machine assumes all incoming calls are from fax machines sending documents. It receives the documents automatically and disconnects all voice calls.
  • In FaxOnly Mode, you can control whether or not the machine rings when it receives a fax call. To set this option from the machine operation panel, see p. 15-10 (setting).

Using an Answering Machine: AnsMode

Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to receive faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office.

Using the Machine With an Answering Machine

Follow these guidelines when using the machine with an answering machine:

  • Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
  • If the machine runs out of paper or toner in AnsMode, it receives all faxes into memory. The faxes then print automatically when you add paper or replace the toner cartridge.
  • When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine:

- The entire message must be no more than 15 seconds long.

- In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax. For example:

"Hello. I can't answer the phone right now. If you would like to send a fax, press the start button on your fax machine. Thank you."

Receiving with a DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) service: DRPD

DRPD service assigns two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single telephone line, allowing you to have both a fax number(s) and a telephone number(s) using only one telephone line. Your fax will automatically monitor incoming calls and based on the ring pattern, will let you know if the call is a fax or voice call. Set the fax ring pattern that matches the pattern assigned by your telephone company.

* Based on Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1, standard mode

Receiving While Performing Other Tasks

Since the machine is a multitasking device, it can receive faxes and phone calls while you are entering your user information, making copies, or printing.

If you receive a fax while you are making copies or printing, the machine stores the incoming fax in memory. Then, as soon as you finish making copies or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax. If you are entering registration information, the fax is printed as soon as it is received, and does not go into memory.

Canceling an Incoming Fax

To cancel an incoming fax, follow this procedure:

1 Press [Stop/Reset].

CANCEL DURING TX/RX?
< YES NO > 

2 Press [ ( ) ] to [Stop/Reset] receiving, or [ ( ) ] to resume receiving the fax.

Setting Up and Using Polling

8

CHAPTER

This chapter shows you how to set up and use polling sending and receiving. Polling is useful when the sending party cannot be in the office at the same time.

What's Polling?

Polling means a fax calls another fax and requests the other fax to send a document that it is holding. Unlike normal sending and receiving, in polling the receiver always calls the sender. This is called polling to receive a document. The sender sends the document in response to the polling by a telephone call from the receiver.

CANON Faxphone L170 - What's Polling? - 1

NOTE

Your fax can be set up to function in both roles. Your fax can poll to receive a document, or it can be polled to send a document that it is holding.

Before You Use Polling Receiving

Before you try to set up polling, note the following points:

  • With one operation you can poll several faxes. You can dial up to 142 telephone numbers and poll those faxes to receive documents that they are holding.
  • If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling ID function, ask them to set the Polling ID of their fax machine to 255 (1111 1111 binary number). For details on the Polling ID, see the other party's fax machine manual. In all other cases the Polling ID is not a concern.

Polling Other Fax Machines to Receive Documents

The machine polling feature allows you to request a document to be faxed to you from another fax machine. The sender only needs to make sure the document is on his fax machine and ready to be sent: when your machine polls that machine, the document is sent automatically. The machine can poll any fax machine that supports polling.

Special Features

9

CHAPTER

This chapter describes the special features of the machine.

Special Dialing

This section explains special dialing features, such as dialing international numbers.

Dialing Long Distance

When you register a long distance number, you may have to insert a pause either within or after the number. For long distance dialing, the location and length of the pause may differ depending on the telephone system.

How to Enter Pauses

Use this procedure to enter pauses within or at the end of numbers.

1 During dialing registration, when you come to a step that asks you to enter a number for dialing, use the numeric buttons to enter the number. 2 To enter a pause within a number, press [Redial/Pause].

  • To enter a pause at the end of a number, press [Redial/Pause] then press [Set].
  • A pause entered within a number (p) is 2 seconds long.
  • If necessary, you can adjust the length of a pause within a number. See p. 15-8 (setting) for more details.
  • To make a longer pause within a number, press [Redial/Pause] again. Each pause adds 2 seconds to the length of the pause.
  • A pause at the end of a number (P) is fixed to 10 seconds.

Using Tone Dialing On a Pulse Line

Even if you have a pulse line, the machine enables you to use tone dialing once you have connected to the number you are calling. This allows you to take advantage of many services that require tones, such as selecting options from telephone "touch-tone" services.

1 Press [FAX].

If you are already in the Fax standby mode, you can skip this step.

2 Lift the handset.

-or-

Press [Hook].

The In Use/Memory indicator blinks green and you will hear the dial tone.

Normally, a document prints as soon as you receive it. However, there may be occasions when you want the machine to store all documents in memory until you are ready to print them. Locking the machine to receive and store all documents in memory is called "Memory Lock."

You may want to turn Memory Lock 'ON' when the machine is left unattended at night, or over long holidays, to prevent a large volume of printed documents from collecting in the paper output trays. After you return to the office, you can review the contents of the memory, and enter the memory lock password to print all of the documents stored in memory.

Turning Memory Lock ON and Setting the Password

After Memory Lock is turned 'ON', the machine automatically enters the Memory Lock mode. The documents received when the machine is in the Memory Lock mode are stored in memory until you unlock the memory with a password and print them.

Follow this procedure to turn the Memory Lock 'ON', and define the password.

NOTE

  • When making copies on LTR-size paper after having continuously copied on paper smaller than LTR-size paper, the copies may be dirty. To prevent copies from being dirty, wait about 1 minute before making copies.
  • The paper in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.
  • The settings changed in the Menu do not return automatically to the settings you set previously. Change to the previous settings again if necessary.
  • When making copies of a small size or heavy paper*, etc., the copy speed may be slightly slower than usual. * The paper type should be selected in the Menu.
  • If you intend to make a copy and print with a thermal transfer printer using the same sheet of paper, make the copy first. Failure to do so may make copies dirty or cause a paper jam.
  • When copying onto transparencies, remove each transparency from the output tray as it is output.

Reports and Lists

12

CHAPTER

This chapter describes how to print reports and lists.

Activity Report

The Activity Report is printed out automatically by the machine after every 20 transactions. This report lists the details of the documents you have sent or received so that you can keep track of the transaction operations your machine has performed.

  • Machine prints sending and receiving transactions together in the same report.
  • When sending a document to many locations (Broadcast), the transaction number will be the same for each transmission in the group.

You can also print the Activity Report manually if you want to check the report before the 20 transactions are completed.

Follow this procedure to print the Activity Report.

1 Press [FAX].

If you are already in the Fax standby mode, you can skip this step.

2 Open One-Touch Speed Dial panel → press [Report].

REPORT 1. ACTIVITY REPORT

3 Press [Set].

The machine prints the ACTIVITY REPORT and the LCD returns to standby mode.

Transmission (TX) Reports

The machine normally prints a report only when an error occurs during sending (ERROR TX REPORT). However, you can set the machine to print a report every time you send a document (TX REPORT).

If you send a document using memory, you can also select whether the first page of the document is printed with the report. See "1.TX REPORT" in the menu on p. 15-7 for details on setting these options.

ST. TIME Represents the time the last attempt was made to transmit a document.

TIME USE Represents the amount of time it took during the last attempt to transmit. Please note that the usage time does not reflect the total usage time used to transmit all pages of the document when "retry" occurs. By printing an ACTIVITY REPORT and matching the transaction number of the TX REPORT with a transaction number in the ACTIVITY REPORT you can find out exactly how many attempts were made to send the document, how many pages were sent in each attempt as well as the usage time for each attempt.

PAGES SENT When OK appears under RESULT (see below), PAGES SENT represents the number of pages that were successfully transmitted when an error did not occur in the first attempt or in consequent retries. When NG appears under RESULT (see below), PAGES SENT indicates the pages after this page were not sent.

RESULT OK means that all pages were transmitted either during the first attempt or after the first or second retry. NG means that either some or no pages were transmitted after 2 retries.

If you set your machine to print activity reports (TX REPORT or RX REPORT) and then use sequential broadcasting or polling reception with multiple parties, a multi-activity report will be printed instead of the activity report (Sending or Receiving). See , on p. 15-7.

Reception (RX) Report

Normally the machine does not print a reception report (RX REPORT) unless you set it to do so.

You can set the machine to print the RX REPORT every time you receive a document or only if an error occurs during receiving. See p. 15-8 for details on setting this option.

Memory Clear Report

If you experience a power failure, all documents stored in memory can be saved for up to approx. 1 hour. If power is not restored to the fax within 1 hour, the documents in memory will be lost. If this time limit has elapsed by the time power is restored to the fax, as soon as power is restored a list of documents deleted from the memory as a result of the power failure is printed automatically.

  • When the power cord is disconnected, any documents stored in memory will be erased if you leave the machine unplugged for 1 hour or more. Be sure to plug the machine in after cleaning to avoid this happening. If appears in the LCD display, follow steps on p. 7-6 to print out the document.
  • If you disconnect the machine while it is waiting to send a document, you will have to set the machine to send your document again once you finish cleaning the machine. However, when you have set a document for delayed transmission, the machine holds the document in its memory for about 1 hour.
  • Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate static charges.
  • Never use volatile liquids such as thinner, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to clean the interior of the machine; these can damage the machine's components.

Cleaning the Machine's Exterior

1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Wipe the machine's exterior with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.

CAUTION

Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other organic solvent to clean the machine, as these can damage the machine's surface.

3. Plug the power cord back in.

Cleaning the ADF Area

Black lines may appear in printouts when the ADF is used to feed documents.

This is caused by paste, ink, correction fluid, or other foreign matters in the read area of the ADF. Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the read area clean. Take particular care to clean at the locations where the black lines are appearing on printouts.

If you have trouble getting the glass clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water or a mild neutral detergent, and then wipe the glass dry with another cloth.

IMPORTANT

Paste, ink, correction fluid, and other foreign matter can soil the scanning glass when you send a document through the ADF while the paste, ink, or correction fluid on the original is still wet. This is what causes black lines on copies. Whenever you load a document in the ADF, always check to make sure that any paste, ink, or correction fluid that is on the document is completely dry.

ASCII

Acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A set of definitions for the bit composition of characters and symbols. ASCII defines 128 symbols using 7 binary bits and 1 parity bit.

Auto FAX/TEL switching

See FAX/TEL switching.

Automatic dialing

Dialing fax or telephone numbers by pressing one or three buttons. To use automatic dialing, you must register the numbers in the machine's memory. See also One-Touch Speed Dialing, Coded Speed Dialing, and Group Dialing.

Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)

The device included in the machine that feeds the document being faxed, copied, or scanned into the machine.

Automatic image reduction

The machine can print the date, time, company name, and a fax number at the top of the faxes it receives. To prevent this information from crowding the faxed image on the page and possibly lengthening the fax, the machine automatically reduces the size of the image on the page.

Automatic redialing

When the receiving fax machine is busy or does not answer, or when an error occurs while sending, the machine waits a specified time and then automatically redials the number. If the receiving fax is still busy or does not answer, the machine waits the specified time and dials again. If the fax still does not go through, the machine prints an error TX report.

B

bps

Bits per second. Refers to the speed with which a fax machine sends and receives data.

Broadcasting

Transmitting documents to more than one location (through the machine's memory).

C

CCITT/ITU-T

Your fax will automatically monitor incoming calls and based on the ring pattern, will let you know if the call is a fax or voice call.

Dual access (Multitasking)

Enables the machine to receive a fax, even if it is copying or printing a document. Also enables you to load other faxes into memory, make copies, print out reports, print documents or register information while the machine sends a fax from memory.

E

ECM

Error Correction Mode. The ability of your machine to reduce system and line errors when sending or receiving from another fax with ECM capability. ECM is most effective in areas where the telephone lines are in poor condition or there is frequent interference on the line. Do not use ECM if you need to send a document quickly and you are sure the other party can read your transmission without it (turning off ECM also turns off MMR).

Extension

A telephone connected to the machine that is used in place of the handset. You can use the extension telephone to activate incoming reception of documents manually.

F

FAX/TEL switching

This option allows you to set the machine to automatically detect whether a call is from a fax or telephone. If the call is from another fax, the transmission is automatically received. If the call is from a telephone, the machine rings to let you know, so you can pick up the handset. With this feature, one telephone line can be shared by both the telephone and the fax.

FINE

The resolution setting for documents with very small characters and lines.

G3, Group 3 fax machine

Defined by CCITT/ITU-T. Uses encoding schemes to transmit image data while reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, thus reducing transmission time. G3 fax machines can transmit one page in less than one minute. Encoding schemes for G3 fax machines are Modified Huffman (MH), Modified READ (MR), and Modified Modified READ (MMR).

Manual redialing

When you use regular dialing, you can redial a number manually simply by pressing [Redial/Pause] on the operation panel. The last number called is the number redialed.

Memory broadcast

Allows you to send a scanned fax to as many as 142 locations at once, using a combination of One-Touch Speed Dialing, Coded Speed Dialing, and regular dialing.

Memory sending

Scans a document into memory before the machine dials the number(s) and sends it. This method allows you to retrieve your original document immediately after scanning.

Modem

A device that converts (MODulates) digital data for transmission over telephone lines. At the receiving end, this device converts the modulated data (DEModulates) to digital format that the computer understands.

N

Noise

A term applied to a variety of problems that impair the operation of telephone lines used for faxing.

Numeric buttons

The round, numbered buttons on the operation panel marked the same as a standard telephone keypad. Press them to perform regular dialing. You also use the numeric buttons to enter numbers and letters when you register numbers and names, and for entering Coded Speed Dialing codes.
