3 Adjust the width of the document guides (③) to fit the actual size of the document.

Note:

• Do not place the unit in an area where the document sub tray may be easily bumped into.
• The order of multiple page documents will be reversed after being fed through the automatic

document feeder. To return the document to it's original order you can feed it through the document feeder a second time, see page 65.

• Confirm that there are no documents on the scanner glass.
• Confirm that any ink, paste or correction fluid has dried completely.
• Remove clips, staples or other fasteners.

• Do not insert the following types of documents (Make a copy of the document using the scanner glass and set the copy instead.):

• Chemically treated paper such as carbon or carbonless duplicating paper
  – Electrostatically charged paper
  – Badly curled, creased or torn paper
  – Paper with a coated surface
  – Paper with printing on the opposite side that can be seen through the other side, such as newsprint

- When feeding multiple page documents into the automatic document feeder, dirty marks may be added to the original documents. To prevent this, we recommend to feed documents one page at a time when using the automatic document feeder, or to use the scanner glass.

• The total height of the documents when laid flat, must be less than 2 mm. If the documents exceed the capacity of the automatic document feeder, they may fall or cause a jam in the feeder.
• To set a document with a width of less than 210 mm, we recommend using the scanner glass to copy the original document onto A4 or letter-size paper, then setting the copied document for better results.
• Do not set documents that do not satisfy the requirements of size and weight. Make a copy of the document using the scanner glass and set the copy.
  ● Available document size, document weight and effective scanning area are as follows:

Minimum document size

128 mm 148 mm

Maximum document size

216 mm 356 mm

Effective scanning area

4 mm 4 mm 4 mm 208 mm 216 mm 4 mm 4 mm

• Shaded area will be scanned.
• When using the unit as a scanner (page 28, 29), the effective scanning length depends on the selected paper size.

Recording paper is wrinkled or folded when printed.	Make sure that the recording paper is loaded properly (page 13).Try turning the recording paper over or rotating it 180 degrees.
The printing quality is poor (e.g. has smudges, blurred points or lines).	Some paper has instructions recommending which side to print on. Try turning the recording paper over.You may have used paper with a cotton and/or fibre content that is over 20 %, such as letterhead or resume paper.The recording paper is too damp. Use new paper.When you print several pages, the stacked paper may have smudges on the back side after printing. To avoid this, expand the paper exit (page 14).
I changed the recording paper, but the printing quality is still poor.	The glass or rollers are dirty with correction fluid, etc. Clean them (page 80, 81). Please do not insert a document before correction fluid has dried completely.The toner save mode of feature #482 is ON (page 55).The remaining toner is low.

Change the contrast (page 38) and try again.
The other party complains that received documents are too dark and cannot be read.	You used a coloured paper as a document. Change the contrast (page 31) and make a lighter copy of the document, using “TEXT” resolution (page 31), and try again.
I cannot receive documents.	The telephone line cord is connected to the [EXT] jack on the unit. Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 11).The PC fax setting (feature #442 on page 59) is activated and the received fax documents are automatically transferred to the computer. View the received documents using the computer (page 47).Set the maximum fax speed to “14 . 4kbps” (feature #418 on page 57).Recording paper is installed in the manual input tray. Remove the recording paper from the manual input tray.
I cannot receive documents automatically.	The receiving mode is set to TEL mode. Set to FAX ONLY mode (page 43) or TEL/FAX mode (page 44).The time taken to answer the call is too long. Decrease the number of rings before the unit answers a call (feature #210 on page 53).
The display shows “CONNECTING . . . .”, but faxes are not received.	The incoming call is not a fax. Change the receiving mode to TEL mode (page 43) or TEL/FAX mode (page 44).
The printing quality of the received documents is poor.	If documents can be copied properly, the unit is working normally. The other party may have sent a faint document or there may be something wrong with the other party's machine. Ask them to send a clearer copy of the document or to check their fax machine.If documents can not be copied properly, refer to “10.3.2 Printing problems”, page 70.
The other party complains that they cannot send a document.	The memory is full of received documents due to a lack of recording paper or a recording paper jam. Load paper (page 13) or remove the jammed paper (page 75).If the PC fax setting (feature #442 on page 59) is set to “ALWAYS”, check the connection between the computer and the unit.The unit is not in FAX ONLY mode.

Connect to the [LINE] jack (page 11).If you use a splitter/coupler to connect the unit, remove the splitter/coupler and connect the unit to the wall jack directly. If the unit operates properly, check the splitter/coupler.Disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect a known working telephone. If the working telephone operates properly, contact our service personnel to have the unit repaired. If the working telephone does not operate properly, contact your telephone company.The power cord or telephone line cord is not connected. Check the connections (page 11).If you connected the unit through a computer modem, connect the unit directly to a telephone line jack.
I cannot make calls.	The dialling mode setting may be wrong. Change the setting (feature #120 on page 17).
The unit does not ring.	The ringer volume is turned OFF. Adjust it (page 20).
The other party complains they only hear a fax tone and cannot talk.	FAX ONLY mode is set (page 43). Tell the other party the number is only used for faxes.Change the receiving mode to TEL mode (page 43) or TEL/FAX mode (page 44).
The [Redial] or [◎] button does not function properly.	If this button is pressed during dialling, a pause will be inserted. If pressed immediately after a dial tone is obtained, the last number dialled will be redialed.

10.3.6 Using an answering machine (KX-MB1520/KX-MB1530 only)

Problem	Cause & Solution
I cannot receive documents automatically.	Your greeting message on the answering machine is too long. Shorten the message. Record a message less than 10 seconds long.The answering machine rings too many times. Set to 1 or 2 rings.
I cannot receive voice messages.	Check if the answering machine is turned ON and connected to the unit properly (page 45).Set the number of rings on the answering machine to 1 or 2.
I pressed the remote access code to access the answering machine remotely, but the line was disconnected.	The code may include “#” which is used for certain features provided by telephone companies. Change the code on the answering machine to another number which does not include “#”.
Callers complain that they cannot send a document.	There is no room left in the memory of your answering machine to record voice messages. See the operating instructions of the answering machine and erase unnecessary messages.You set the answering machine to only give a greeting message.

10.3.7 If a power failure occurs

• The unit will not function.
• If any documents are stored in the memory (i.e. during copying, PC printing), they will be lost.

KX-MB1520/KX-MB1530 only:

Ondell, Hiring Surveys Ltd., Narayya Road, Reading, Norks. Near Price, Permit us to introduce you to the facility of facsimile transmission. In facsimile a photocoll is copied to perform a raster scan over the subject copy. The variations of print density on the document took the physical to generate an amalgam electrical video signal. This signal is used to mobilize a raster, which is transmitted to a vare destination one a radio or cable commensations link. At the remote terminal, demodulation reconstructs the video signal, which is used to modulate the density of pilot produced by a printing device. This device is sounding in a raster scan synchronised with that at the transmitting terminal. As a result, a facsimile copy of the test document is produced. Probably you have saved for this facility in your organisation. Vocus sincerely, P.H. P.J. Ondell Group Leader - Ferialle Research

Toner cartridge life

The toner cartridge needs to be replaced regularly.

Toner cartridge life depends on the amount of content in a printed document. Toner cartridge life varies in actual usage. The following is the approximate number of pages that the toner cartridge can print according to the various printing examples.

Example 1

• Approx. 1,500 pages can be printed using KX-FAT390X.
• Approx. 2,500 pages can be printed using KX-FAT410X.

Note:

• There are various factors that determine the actual toner cartridge life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and how much toner you use for the number of pages per print job. The actual number of pages your toner cartridge will print may be significantly less than this estimate if your unit is often used for printing small number of pages per job. Because many of the factors that determine the actual toner cartridge life cannot be controlled, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your toner cartridge.
• The number of pages changes with the depth, thickness and size of the characters.
• If you turn on the toner save feature, the toner cartridge will last approx. 20 % longer.

Waste disposal method

Waste material should be disposed of under conditions which meet all national and local environmental regulations.
