1 Introduction

1.1 We want you to be satisfied customers

Thank you for deciding to buy a Minolta fax system. The multi-functional system described in this user manual will hereafter be referred to as Minoltafax 2800/3800.

Read this User Manual carefully before starting up your machine and always keep the instructions to hand.

To achieve the best possible results and effective use of the machine, this User Manual provides you with information on the following subjects.

  • Installation
  • Entering data
  • Sending/receiving/copying
  • Reports and lists
  • Maintenance and troubleshooting.

Additional information and help in the event of an error is available from:

The technical service of your Minolta representative
our Internet Website http://www.minolta.com.uk.

Please keep the serial number (see nameplate) and the date of purchase to hand so that we can quickly provide you with the right help in the event of an error.

We want you to be satisfied customers.

Subject to changes.

1.2 How does a fax machine work?

A fax machine can be connected to a normal telephone system without taking any special precautions, just like a normal telephone set. The function of a fax machine is quite similar to that of a telephone.

The way a fax machine works is simple: Documents that are to be transmitted are at first scanned. The machine does not recognise the letters but reads the picture, dot by dot, and marks each dot as black or white. That is why you can not only transmit texts but also pictures and photos. The information is then digitised and compressed so that the fax machine can send it quickly over the telephone line to another fax machine which reverses the process, reading and marking each dot as black or white on a sheet of paper.

When you are "called" by a fax machine, your telephone rings as normal. Therefore you cannot know whether your are receiving a fax call or a telephone call before picking up the receiver.

At the beginning of a fax transmission you will hear shrill sounds. Those sounds are the so called "hand shaking" and function as an introduction sequence before the actual transmission, just as interlocutors - often - introduce themselves at the beginning of a telephone call. In the introductory sequence the technical features of both machines are matched to make sure the transmission and the reception are conducted to a high standard.

With your Minolta fax 2800/3800 you do not need to listen to the introductory sequence. How to program the machine accordingly will be explained later in this manual. Furthermore you will also find information about the settings that come with the machine, that have to be made when installing, or the settings that can be made at a later stage. Most of the features of the fax machine work independently, so that you can program only the settings you need for the moment and ignore all others.

By the way, the word "fax" is a combination of the Latin "facere" (to make) and "simile" (similar) describing the process of making a copy which is similar to the original. This artificial word "fax" has nowadays become widely accepted in everyday language, replacing the older term facsimile. A copy is therefore to be made "similar" to the original. Fax machines are also called facsimile machines.

Now, enjoy your new fax machine.

1.3 Certificate for machines with CE marking

CTR 21 approval

Annex II

The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, by itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point.

In cases of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.

1.4 Safety precautions

Follow the safety advice to ensure safe operation of the machine.

  • Only connect the machine to a suitable power point.
  • Make sure the power is not turned off over night.
  • Always pull the plug, never the wire, when you want disconnect the machine from the power supply. If possible, connect the machine directly to a wall outlet.
  • Do not unscrew any parts, if not specifically requested in this manual. If necessary contact your technical service.
  • Never open the machine while it is transmitting or printing.
    Take care not to let humidity into the machine.
  • Make sure no objects fall into the machine.
  • If a problem occurs that cannot be solved following the procedures described in this manual, make sure you contact the technical service.
  • Follow the recommended maintenance procedures regularly.
  • Do not open any parts of the machine or switch it off when the machine is in use.
  • Do not allow any magnetic objects near the machine.
  • Switch the machine off immediately and remove the socket if the machine becomes unusually hot or if smoke or an unusual smell occurs.

Used cartridges may be taken back by the technical service station as a part of the maintenance procedures.

Laser safety

This fax machine contains a page printer which operates by means of a laser. This machine does not impose any danger as long as it is used according to the procedures described in this manual. The laser is limited to the interior of the machine. The environment is protected from the laser emission by the covers of the machine.

Internal laser radiation

Medium radiation: 1.03 (mW) wave length: 770-810 (nm)

The machine works with an invisible class IIlb laser. The printer head unit must not be opened, cleaned or repaired by the user.

Ozone release warning

During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This amount is not large enough to harm anyone. However, be sure the room where the fax machine is being used has adequate ventilation, especially

if you are printing a high volume of material or if the fax machine is being used continuously over a long period.

1.5 Characteristics

Your new fax machine is a compact multi-functional device facilitating your work and reducing your fax communication times. The features of the unit include scanning of originals into the memory for delayed transmission, allowing simultaneous reception of fax messages and vice versa.

2 Installation

2.1 Location

Please take into consideration the following recommendations.

  • Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and place the machine away from heaters.
  • Avoid humid or dusty locations.
  • Place the machine on an even, non-vibrating surface.
  • Keep the machine away from magnetic fields (TV sets, radios).
  • Avoid locations close to ventilation openings, air conditioners and heaters.
  • The machines should be easily accessible from all sides.
  • Make sure no liquids can enter the machine.
  • Keep all covers closed when the machine is in standby, as this will prevent the transmission or receipt of documents. If the cover is opened during transmission or reception, the connection will be interrupted.
  • Avoid extreme fluctuations in temperature as this could lead to humidity inside the machine. This could lead to incorrect document scanning and printing.
  • Ensure there is enough space (approx. 40cm clearance around the machine), for optimum operation and easy access.
  • Ensure there is a clearance of at least 150mm between the wall and the machine for optimum ventilation.
  • Do not place any items which are heavier than 3kg on the machine.

Environment

The optimum environmental conditions for your copier are:

  • Temperatures between 10^ and 32^ (with a max. fluctuation of 10^ per hour)
  • Humidity level between 15% and 85% (with a max. fluctuation of 20% per hour).

Power supply

The following tolerances apply:

Voltage fluctuation: ±10%
Frequency fluctuation: ± 0,3%

3.9 Storing numbers

Sub addressing (F CODE SUB)

When entering one-touch and speed dial numbers it is possible to enter a sub-address. This enables you for instance to access sub-addresses directly from the server. The sub-address is limited to 10 digits.

KONICA MINOLTA MF2838 - Sub addressing (F CODE SUB) - 1

KONICA MINOLTA MF2838 - Sub addressing (F CODE SUB) - 2

What is F CODE?

You can program your system with a confidential polling or mailbox. For this you need the F CODE. The F CODE functions like a key and a lock. You always have to set an F CODE to set up a box, i.e. to install the lock. Everyone wanting to access the box needs the corresponding key, in this case the corresponding F CODE. Otherwise on communication is possible. If required, you may assign an F CODE password, as a second security measure. This way you gain maximum security for your documents.

In various steps you will be asked to enter an F CODE. There are three different F CODE settings:

F CODE SEP (selective polling TX/RX)

Set this F CODE if you are preparing a document for confidential polling. Only recipients that have the same F CODE stored in their machine can poll the document. If a partner has stored a document using SEP, you must use the F CODE SEP to poll the document.

F CODE SUB

Use this F CODE to address sub-addresses in a server net work directly.

- F CODE password (PWD)

If you wish to protect your mailbox with a second lock, you can assign an additional password. Enter the desired password as a 4 digit number.

KONICA MINOLTA MF2838 - - F CODE password (PWD) - 1

Note

The F CODE function is only available with fax machines that have this function as well. Ask your partner, if their machine can process F CODE transmissions.

Entering one-touch numbers

Use this function [01] - [32] ([01] - [64] for Minoltafax 3800) to store your most frequently called fax numbers for instant recall or to arrange call groups (for more information, refer to "Entering Call Groups").

4.1 Transmission

Notes on original documents

Your new fax machine can transmit the following document sizes. You can place up to 50 sheets of A4 paper in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).

148 mm - 280 mm width
- 128 mm - 356 mm length.

If the document is longer than 380~mm , the machine recognises a document jam and stops scanning the document.

Use yellow, green-yellow or light blue colours for information you do not want to be transmitted.

Make sure ink, glue, correction fluid, etc. are completely dry before you send a fax.

KONICA MINOLTA MF2838 - Notes on original documents - 1

CAUTION

Staples and paper clips may damage the machine.

Remove all staples and paper clips before sending a document.

Using carrier film

Documents that meet the following characteristics must be photocopied or placed in a carrying film before they can be sent. Make sure to insert the closed edge of the carrying film first in the document feeder.

  • paper sizes less than 128 mm wide or less than 100 mm long;
  • paper lighter than 60 g/m^2 ;
  • folded, torn, wrinkled, damp, rough or curled documents;
    chemically treated and pressure sensitive copy paper.

Placing the documents

1 Insert the document face down in the document feeder.

KONICA MINOLTA MF2838 - Placing the documents - 1

2 Place the document in the centre of the ADF and adjust the paper guides so that they lightly touch the edges of the document.

KONICA MINOLTA MF2838 - Placing the documents - 2

You can insert up to 50 pages of A4 into the document feeder. Make sure the pages are well placed and aligned before starting the transmission. Remove any staples before placing the document in the feeder.

If the paper is curled or pages stick together, more than one page at a time could be fed into the machine which can lead to paper jams or faulty transmissions. In this case you should insert the pages one by one to ensure correct feeding of the documents.

The standard transmission memory holds approx. 192 pages of the ITU Test Document 1 in standard resolution (Minoltafax 3800 576 pages). Ensure the displayed memory capacity does not drop to 0% during scanning, as this may cancel the process.

4.9 Polling transmission

The Minoltafax 2800/3800 enables you to store documents which the recipient can retrieve when required. The document can even consist of several pages.

Your Minoltafax offers you a single mode and a multiple mode. In single mode, the document can only be polled once. After that the document is not available any more. In multiple mode, the document is scanned and polled from memory. After the polling the document remains in memory so that several pollings are possible. To delete the document, select "Delete document".

In various steps you will be asked to enter an F CODE. There are three different F CODE settings:

F CODE SEP (selective polling TX/RX)

Set this F CODE if you are preparing a document for confidential polling. Only recipients that have the same F CODE stored in their machine can poll the document. If a partner has stored a document using SEP, you must use the F CODE SEP to poll the document.

F CODE SUB

Use this F CODE to address sub-addresses in a server net work directly.

- F CODE password (PWD)

If you wish to protect your mailbox with a second lock, you can assign an additional password. Enter the desired password as a 4 digit number.

Insert the document into the ADF in order to scan it. Adjust contrast and resolution if necessary.

Note

For polling without an ID (F CODE SEP) only one document is available at the fax number. For polling with ID (F CODE SEP) callers can poll several documents from one fax number. However, they must know the ID. Each document is assigned its own ID. You can also combine both options. If you store several documents using F CODE SEP, it is advisable to prepare a table of content without an ID.

4.10 Mailbox transmission

This function is used to transmit a document to a mailbox. This is helpful if only a specific person should be reading the message. However, both machines must be of the same type.

The transmission is only executed if both mailbox ID codes are identical. This prevents the document from being transmitted to an incorrect mailbox.

The document is scanned into the remote fax machine's memory and can only be printed if the recipient enters the correct 4-digit mailbox passcode.

Ask for the mailbox ID of the receiving machine before the transmission.

Insert the document face down in the document feeder. Adjust contrast and resolution if necessary.
