Introduction

Welcome to the FO-1660M and thank you for choosing Sharp! The FO-1660M is a multifunction facsimile machine that can also be used as convenient copier, scanner, and printer for your computer. Fax operations can be performed either from the operation panel of the FO-1660M, or from your computer using the provided Multifunction Interface software.

This manual gives you easy-to-follow instructions for installing the FO-1660M, connecting it to a personal computer, and performing fax operations from the operation panel of the FO-1660M. The accompanying Multifuncton Interface operation manual gives you instructions for installing the Multifunction Interface software and performing scan, print and fax operations from your computer.

If you have any questions or problems which cannot be solved by reading this manual, please contact your Sharp dealer.

Keys, switches, and labels on the machine are indicated in BOLD print.
Messages appearing in the display are indicated in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Regulatory information

This facsimile machine is only designed to operate in the country where approved.

Your Sharp FO-1660M Facsimile Transceiver is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), it is also approved for connection via a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), and can be used with either Loop Disconnect (LD) or Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signalling.

Your facsimile machine is not suitable as an extension to some payphones or for use on shared service lines.

REN

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of your fax machine is 1.

The total number of instruments that can be connected to an exclusive line is determined by adding the REN values of each instrument. The total should not exceed 4.0. A telephone provided by BT is assumed to have a REN of 1 unless otherwise marked.

Satisfactory ringer operation can not be guaranteed in installations consisting of mixed apparatus types, even if the REN value does not exceed 4.

Emergency services

Emergency services (999) can be called from this apparatus. Please display on the telephone the number required to access that service, together with the number of the telephone, using the label provided.

Private branch exchange (PBX) connection

Your facsimile machine is approved for connection to the Public Telephone Network (PSTN) via compatible PBX systems. Consult your supplier for a list of suitable PBX systems. It cannot be guaranteed that this facsimile machine will operate correctly under all possible conditions of connection to compatible PBX systems.

This facsimile machine has been approved for use of the following facilities:

Simple telephone

Tone dialling (DTMF)

Loop disconnect (Pulse dialling)

Memory dialling

Loudspeaking (Call Progress Monitor)

On-hook dialling

Automatic answering

Automatic dialling

Automatic clearing

Last number radial

Time break or Earth recall

Series connection of extension telephone(s)

Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the facsimile if as a result it then ceases to comply with the standards against which approval was granted.

Series connection

When connected via series apparatus, difficulties may occasionally be experienced when making calls to the PSTN and by both parties during telephone conversations. If difficulties are experienced, contact the supplier or maintainer of the series apparatus in the first instance.

While operation may be possible initially, changes to or modernisation of the network taking place in the normal course of events may result in the facsimile equipment being connected to a network service with which it was not designed to be compatible. Failure of the facsimile / series apparatus to work under these circumstances may not be the fault of the network operator.

The voltage drop introduced by your facsimile between the PSTN and the associated apparatus at a current of 40mA d.c. is 2 volts, therefore no additional series equipment may be connected.

Unpacking Checklist

After unpacking your fax, make sure you have all the items shown below. If any are missing, contact your dealer.

SHARP FO-1660M - Unpacking Checklist - 1

Points to keep in mind when setting up

The fax must be installed on a level surface.
Keep the fax away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust.
Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the fax. In particular, keep the area in front of the fax clear, or the original document may jam as it comes out after scanning.
If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and wait approximately two hours before using the machine.
If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone specialty stores.

Loading the Imaging Film

The printer unit in your fax creates printed text and images by applying heat to the imaging film, which causes ink to be transferred from the film to the page. Follow the steps below to install or replace the imaging film.

1 Press the release button marked OPEN and open the print compartment cover.

  • Caution! The printing head (the strip of metal on the underside of the cover) applies heat to the imaging film. It may be hot if a document has just been printed.

Chapter 1 Installation

Connections

Power lead

Plug the power lead into a 230V , earthed (3-prong) AC outlet.

The fax does not have a power on/off switch, so the power is turned on and off by simply plugging or unplugging the power lead.
Important: Whenever you unplug the power lead, disconnect the fax machine from the telephone network first.
Caution: The mains outlet (socket-outlet) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Comments:

  • Your fax is set for tone dialling. If you are on a pulse dial line, you must reset the fax for pulse dialling. This is done by resetting Option Setting 8 as described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
  • If you are connecting the fax to a PBX, you may need to reset the fax to the appropriate recall mode for the PBX. This is done by setting Option Setting 14 as described in Chapter 9
  • If you intend to use a computer fax modem on the same phone line, you must reset Option Setting 15 to NO in order to prevent transmission and reception errors. This procedure is described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
  • Extension phones can be used to make and receive calls as normal with the fax connected. For details on receiving faxes from an extension phone, see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents".
  • The facsimile machine will not ring in response to incoming calls and cannot be used to make outgoing calls in the absence of mains power to the machine. For this reason it is recommended that the fax is not left as the only telephone instrument on line when in this state.
  • Your fax cannot be used on a key system without the necessary adaptation of the system. Please consult the installers of the system if this is required.

Handset

Connect the handset lead to the handset and the fax as shown.

The ends of the handset lead are identical, so they will go into either socket.

Selecting the Reception Mode

Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:

TEL mode:

This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the fax's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

FAX mode:

Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.

TEL/FAX mode:

This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When a call comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (including manually dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automatically dialled fax transmission, reception will begin automatically.

A.M. mode:

Select this mode when an answering machine is connected as described in "Connections" in Chapter 1 and you want the answering machine to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out.

Setting the reception mode

Press the RECEPTION MODE key until the arrow in the display points to the desired mode.

SHARP FO-1660M - Setting the reception mode - 1

For more information on receiving faxes in TEL, TEL/FAX mode and FAX mode, see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents". For more information on using A.M. mode, see Chapter 7.

Selecting the receiving unit

If you have connected the fax machine to a personal computer with the provided Multifunction Interface box, you can choose whether to have incoming faxes received by the fax machine or by your computer. The initial setting is FAX (reception by the fax machine). To change the setting, follow the steps below.

1 Press the FUNCTION key and then the "#" key. RECEIVE UNIT will appear in the display.

or

SHARP FO-1660M - Selecting the receiving unit - 3

If you select reception to your computer, faxes will be received as follows depending on the reception mode of the fax machine:

If the fax machine is set to FAX reception mode, an incoming call will be automatically answered after the number of rings set in your fax software. The fax will be received by your computer (make sure your fax software is running). If your computer is turned off or the fax software is not running, the fax machine will receive the fax.
If the fax machine is set to TEL/FAX mode, voice calls will be signalled as usual and faxes received to your computer.
If the fax machine is set to TEL reception mode, you must first answer a call by picking up the fax's handset. If the call is an auto-dialled fax transmission (you will hear a fax tone), your computer will automatically begin reception. If the other party speaks to you and then wants to send a fax, you must initiate fax reception manually with the fax software.
If the fax machine is set to A.M. reception mode, the OGM will play before the computer begins fax reception (voice callers will be able to leave a message). If your computer is not turned on or the fax software is not running, the fax machine will receive the fax.

See the Multifunction Interface Software Manual for information on how to receive faxes with your fax software.

If you select reception to your fax machine, the reception modes will function as explained at the beginning of this section.

Note: Scanning, printing, and PC faxing can take place in all modes.

Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling

Automatic dialling is a quick and convenient way of dialling which is performed by either pressing a Rapid Key (Rapid Key Dialling), or pressing the SPEED DIAL key and entering a 2-digit number (Speed Dialling). Automatic dialling can be used for both fax transmissions and voice calls.

To use automatic dialling, you must first store the full number in your fax and assign a 2-digit Speed Dial number to it. You can also enter a name which appears in the display when the number is dialled. Up to 99 numbers can be stored.

Speed Dial numbers from "01" to "38" can be used for both Rapid Key Dialling and Speed Dialling; Speed Dial numbers from "39" to "99" can only be used for Speed Dialling.

To allow easy identification of the Rapid Keys, attach each strip of Rapid Key labels above the appropriate row of Rapid Keys. The arrangement of the keys is shown in "A Look at the Operation Panel" in this chapter. Each time you store a number for Rapid Key Dialling, write the name of the party above the appropriate key.

Storing numbers

Comments:

  • You may need to add a pause between certain digits to allow time for connection. For example, if you are on a PBX telephone system that requires an access number to be dialled (such as "9") for an outside line, you may need to enter a pause between the access number and the number of the receiving fax machine. Pauses are entered by pressing the REDIAL key, and several can be entered in a row if necessary. The first pause entered gives a time delay of about 4 seconds, and subsequent pauses give delays of 0.9 seconds each. The total duration of pauses entered for any one fax or voice number cannot exceed 11 seconds.

  • To confirm that Automatic Dialling numbers have been stored correctly, print out the Telephone List. The procedure for doing this is described in Chapter 10, "Printing out Reports and Lists".

  • To enter letters for names or correct a mistake, see "Entering letters for names" in this chapter.

Numbers and letters are changed as described in "Entering letters for names" in this chapter.

A lithium battery keeps automatic dialling numbers in memory

Your fax uses a lithium battery to keep automatic dialing numbers and other programmed data in memory when the power is turned off. Battery power is consumed primarily when the power is off. With the power kept continuously off, the life of the battery is about 5 years. If the battery dies, have your dealer or retailer replace it. Do not try to replace it yourself.

Storing numbers in Group Keys

Group Keys allow you to dial a group of fax numbers by simply pressing the appropriate Group Key once. They are convenient for the Broadcasting function, which is used to transmit a document to a group of fax machines.

Rapid Keys 18/G1 and 19/G2 can be programmed as Group Keys. To program or clear a Group Key, follow the steps below. Note that one key cannot be simultaneously programmed as both a Rapid Key and a Group Key.

Up to 20 fax numbers can be stored in one Group Key.
Only Speed Dial numbers can be stored in a Group Key. Full numbers cannot be stored.
A Group Key cannot be cleared if it is has been programmed into a Program Key. First clear the Program Key as described in "Entering and Using Programs" in Chapter 8, then clear the Group Key. If you need to check which Program Key the Group Key is used in, print out the Program and Group List as described in Chapter 10.

Volume Adjustment

You can adjust the volume of the speaker and ringer using the UP and DOWN keys on the operation panel.

Speaker

The speaker has three volume levels: HIGH, MIDDLE, and LOW. To adjust the volume of the speaker, press the SPEAKER key and then press the UP or DOWN key until the desired level appears in the display. Press the SPEAKER key again to turn the speaker off.

Ringer

The ringer has four volume levels: HIGH, MIDDLE, LOW, and OFF. To adjust the volume of the ringer, press the UP or DOWN key until the desired level appears in the display (make sure the SPEAKER has not been pressed and the handset is not lifted). The fax will ring at the new volume level each time you change the level. If you select OFF, press the START key to confirm your selection.

When the ringer is off and the reception mode is set to TEL/FAX, faxes will be received quietly and telephone calls will be indicated with a low level on the ringer.

Transmittable Documents

Your fax can transmit most standard office documents. Specific guidelines are as follows:

Size and weight

The size and weight of documents which you can load in the document feeder depend on whether you load one sheet at a time or several sheets at once.

SHARP FO-1660M - Size and weight - 1
Note: The area of the document which is scanned by the fax is slightly smaller than the actual document size. The scanning width is 210mm , and the scanning length is the length of the document minus 4mm .

Other restrictions

Documents written in yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink cannot be transmitted, as the scanner does not recognise these colours.
Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before they pass through the document feeder.
All clips, staples, and pins must be removed from documents before transmission. If these are not removed, they may damage the fax.
Documents which are patched, taped, torn, smaller than the minimum size, carbon backed, or easily smudged should be photocopied, and the copy used for transmission.

Loading the Document

Up to 20 pages can be placed in the feeder at one time. The pages will be automatically fed into the fax starting from the page on the bottom.

If you need to send or copy more than 20 pages, place the additional pages gently and carefully in the feeder just before the last page is scanned. Do not try to force them in, as this may cause double-feeding or jamming.
If your document consists of several large or thick pages which must be loaded one at a time, insert each page into the feeder as the previous page is being scanned. Insert gently to prevent double-feeding.

1 Adjust the document guides to the width of your document.

SHARP FO-1660M - Loading the Document - 1

2 Place the document face down and push it gently into the document feeder. The top edge of the document should enter the fax first.

  • The feeder will draw the leading edge of the document into the fax. READY TO SEND will appear in the display.

SHARP FO-1660M - Loading the Document - 2

3 You can now either make resolution and/or contrast settings as described in the following section, or dial the other party as described in the section, "Dialling and transmission".

Important:

If you need to remove the document from the feeder before transmission or copying, first open the operation panel by pulling the front edge up (grasp it at the PANEL RELEASE mark), and then remove the document. If you try to pull the document out without opening the operation panel, you may damage the feeder mechanism.

Optional Transmission Settings

If desired, there are several transmission settings which are possible before dialling and transmitting the document.

Note: To make the settings, the document must first be loaded in the feeder.

Resolution

Your fax has four resolution settings. If you do not make a setting, the fax will automatically send the document in STANDARD resolution.

STANDARD: Use STANDARD for ordinary documents. This setting gives you the fastest and most economical transmission.

FINE: Use FINE for improved reproduction, especially with documents containing small letters or fine drawings.

SUPER FINE: Use SUPER FINE when you need the highest quality of reproduction.

HALF TONE: Use HALF TONE for photographs and illustrations. The original will be reproduced in 64 shades of grey.

Note: In order to transmit in FINE or SUPER FINE resolution, the receiving fax machine must also have that resolution. If it doesn't, your fax will automatically step down to the next best available setting.

Contrast

The contrast is normally set to AUTO, which means that the fax automatically controls the contrast, but for faint documents you can change the setting to DARK.

Setting the resolution and contrast

Press the RESOLUTION key one or more times until the desired resolution and contrast settings appear in the display.

  • The first time you move through the list of resolution settings, the contrast setting AUTO will appear next to each resolution setting. The second time you move through the list, the contrast setting DARK will appear.

SHARP FO-1660M - Setting the resolution and contrast - 1

Chapter 3 Sending Documents

Cover Sheet

You can have your fax generate a cover sheet and send it as the last page of the transmission. The cover sheet includes the date and time, the sender's name and number, and the receiver's name and number if an automatic dialling number is used. The total number of pages sent is indicated on the bottom.

Your name and number must be programmed in order for them to appear on the cover sheet. (See "Entering Your Name and Fax Number" in Chapter 2.)

To include a cover sheet with each transmission, set Option Setting 18 to YES as described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings". Note that once Option Setting 18 is set to YES, cover sheets will be automatically included with every transmission until you change the setting to NO.

When the cover sheet function is turned on, you can also select a message which will appear as a header at the top of the cover sheet. To do so, follow the steps below. Note that the message selection is only effective for one transmission.

1 Press the keys shown at right. COVER SHEET HEAD will appear in the display.

SHARP FO-1660M - Cover Sheet - 1

2 Select a message by entering a number from "1" to "4" as shown below:

"1": URGENT ①
"2": IMPORTANT
"3": CONFIDENTIAL
"4": PLS. DISTRIBUTE

Example

Batch Page Numbering (Page Counter)

This setting is used to change the page numbering of the transmitted document from simple numbering ("P.1", "P.2", etc.) to batch numbering, which means that a slash and the total number of pages being sent are added after each page number (for example, "P. 1/5", "P.2/5", etc.). This allows the receiver to check for any missing pages.

If you are sending a cover sheet, do not include the cover sheet in the total number of pages. Your fax will adjust the number to include the cover sheet automatically.
If you need to cancel a batch number entry, remove the document from the feeder or press the STOP key.
If the number of pages actually transmitted does not coincide with the batch number entered, the alarm will sound and PAGE COUNT ERROR will appear in the display. "PAGE E." will also appear in the "NOTE" column of the Transaction Report if it has been set to print out.

Automatic redialling

If you use automatic dialling (including Direct Keypad Dialling) and the line is busy, your fax will automatically redial the number. Up to 2 redialling attempts will be made at intervals of 5 minutes.

To stop automatic redialling, press the STOP key.
If desired, you can change the number of times the fax redials with Option Setting 4, and the interval at which redialling takes place with Option Setting 3. See Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".

Using the REDIAL key

You can press the REDIAL key to radial the last number dialled. To send a document, proceed from Step 3 of Normal Dialling. Note that the speaker will be automatically activated, so you do not need to pick up the handset immediately.

Using FAX mode

When the reception mode is set to FAX (press the RECEPTION MODE key until the arrow in the display points to FAX), your fax automatically answers all calls on 1 ring and receives the incoming documents.

You can change the number of rings after which the fax answers incoming calls by changing Option Setting 2 (see "Optional settings" in Chapter 9). Any number from "1" to "5" can be selected ("1" to "3" rings in Eire).
If you pick up the handset before your fax answers, you can talk to the other party and/or receive a document as described below in "Using TEL mode". For example, with the fax set to answer on 4 rings, you can receive both voice calls and fax messages in FAX mode by answering before the fourth ring, but still have the fax answer calls automatically at times when you are unable to respond personally.

Using TEL mode

When the reception mode is set to TEL (press the RECEPTION MODE key until the arrow points to TEL), you must answer all calls (including fax transmissions) using the fax's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

Receiving documents on your fax machine

To receive a document on your fax machine, pick up the handset when it rings.

  • If you hear a fax tone, wait until RECEIVING appears in the display, and then replace the handset.
  • If the other party first talks to you and then wants to send a fax, press the START key after speaking (press your START key before the sender presses their Start key). Replace the handset.

SHARP FO-1660M - Receiving documents on your fax machine - 1

Note: If you have set Option Setting 15 to OFF and you hear a fax tone when you pick up the handset, you must press the START key to begin reception.

Chapter 4 Receiving Documents

Receiving documents on an extension phone

If you hear a fax tone when you answer an extension phone, wait until your fax answers with a pronounced, high-pitch tone, and then hang up. Your fax will automatically receive the document.

If your fax does not respond within 5 seconds, noise on the line may be preventing it from detecting the fax tone. In this case, manually activate fax reception as described in the following paragraph.

If the other party first talks to you and then wants to send a document, press "5", "" and "'" if you are on a tone dial phone. If you are on a pulse dial phone, set the handset down (do not hang up), walk over to the fax, pick up the handset, and press the START key.

  • Your fax will not accept the signal to begin reception ("5", "×", and "×") if a document is loaded in its feeder.

Comments:

  • If you have set Option Setting 15 to OFF and hear a fax tone when you answer the extension phone, you must press "5", "×", and "×" if you are on a tone dial phone, or walk over to the fax, pick up the handset, and press the START key if you are on a pulse dial only phone.

  • The code used to activate fax reception from a tone dial extension phone ("5", "×", and "×") can be changed if desired. See Option Setting 5 ("Tel/Fax Remote Number") in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".

  • If you do not intend to use the code for activating fax reception, you can turn detection of the code off by resetting Option Setting 6. This will ensure that the fax never mistakenly attempts to begin reception if it detects a signal which it perceives to be similar to "5", "×", and "×" while you are talking on an extension phone.

Using TEL/FAX mode

When the reception mode is set to TEL/FAX (press the RECEPTION MODE key until the arrow in the display points to TEL/FAX), your fax automatically answers all calls on 1 ring. After answering, your fax monitors the line for about 5 seconds to see if a fax tone is being sent.

If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically dialled fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming document.
If your fax doesn't detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice call or manually dialled fax), it will make a ringing sound (called pseudo ringing) for 15 seconds to alert you to answer. If you don't answer within this time, your fax will send a fax tone to the other machine to allow the calling party to send a fax manually if they desire.

Comments:

  • Only the fax will alert you to voice calls or manually dialled faxes by pseudo ringing. An extension phone connected to the same line will not ring after the connection has been made. The handset of a parallel extension telephone can, however, be picked up to answer the call. To disable the pseudo ringing once the handset is lifted, press "#" key on the dial pad of the phone. This can only be done from a tone dial phone.
  • The number of rings to answer can be adjusted by changing Option Setting 2. See Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
  • The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 9. See Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
  • When this function is enabled, the machine may not be connected to lines listed in telephone directories issued by public network operators. Publication of the number of this machine should be accompanied with advice of the function.

Chapter 4 Receiving Documents

Reception Ratio

Your fax has been set at the factory to automatically reduce the size of received documents to fit the size of the printing paper. This ensures that data on the edges of the document are not cut off. If desired, you can turn this function off and have received documents printed at full size.

Note: If a document is too long to fit on the printing paper, the remainder will be printed on a second page. In this case, the cut-off point may occur in the middle of a line.

Note: Automatic reduction may not be possible if the received document is too large, contains too many fine graphics or images, or is sent at high resolution. In this case, the remainder of the document will be printed on a second page.

Using the SEARCH/R key

You can use the SEARCH/R key to search for a Rapid Key or Speed Dial number. First search for the number as described in "Using the SEARCH/R key" in "Dialling and Transmission" in Chapter 3, then pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER key. The number will be dialled automatically (do not press the START key).

Redial

The last number called can be redialled by pressing the REDIAL key (it is not necessary to pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER key). When the other party answers, pick up the handset to talk.

Issuing tone signals

If you are on a pulse dial line, you can use the "×" key to temporarily issue tone signals when you press the numeric keys. This allows you to use certain telephone services which require entering tone signals.

When you need to enter one or more tone signals, press the "×" key and then press the appropriate numeric keys.

To change back to pulse mode, simply hang up (the dialling mode automatically changes back to the setting of Option Setting 8 when you hang up).

PBX operations and public network services

If your fax is connected to a PBX, you can use it to perform the following operations:

Making enquiry calls: During a call, you can put the other party on hold, make a further call to a third party, and then go back to your original caller.
Transferring calls: You can transfer a call to another number on the same PBX without operator assistance.

Your fax is also fully compatible with British Telecom Network Services and Telecom Eireann Phone Plus Services and can be used in conjunction with any facility that requires a recall command.

Chapter 6 Making Voice Calls

Note: To perform PBX operations, Option Setting 14 must be set to the appropriate recall mode for your PBX (see Chapter 9, "Optional Settings"). Check your PBX manual or consult your supplier for the correct recall mode. If you are using British Telecom Network Services or Telecomm Eireann Phone Plus Services, Option Setting 14 must be set to time-break recall. (This is the initial factory setting).

Answering Machine Connection

Preparations

If you have connected an answering machine to your fax as described in "Connections" in Chapter 1, you can receive both voice messages and fax transmissions on the same line while you are out. To use the connection, first change the outgoing message of your answering machine, and then set the reception mode of your fax to A.M. when you go out.

Changing the outgoing message

The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start key. For example, your message might go as follows:

"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."

Comments:

  • It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialling.
  • Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same call. Modify your outgoing message to explain that they can first leave a voice message, and then press their Start key to send a fax.

Using the Connection

1 Set the reception mode of your fax to A.M. by pressing the RECEPTION MODE key.

SHARP FO-1660M - Using the Connection - 1

2 Set your answering machine to auto answer.

  • Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of two rings. If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialling.
  • If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that it will answer by the fourth ring.

Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents"). If they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.

How the answering machine mode operates

While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax machine will quietly monitor the line. If your fax machine detects a fax tone or a duration of silence equal to four seconds (called "Quiet Detect Time"), it will take over the line and begin reception.

Your fax machine listens for a duration of silence because some transmitting machines do not send a fax tone when the fax is sent manually (this means that the person faxing uses the handset to dial and then presses their Start key after listening to your outgoing message). Pressing the Start key in this case causes the line to go silent. The timing for fax reception is shown below.

SHARP FO-1660M - How the answering machine mode operates - 1

If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the answering machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly.
The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that voice messages were received, when only fax messages were received.

Note: To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginning reception if you call in from an external phone or answer on an extension phone, press any three keys (other than the code to activate fax reception, "5", "×", and "×") on the dial pad of the phone. This can only be performed from a phone capable of tone dialling.

Chapter 7 Answering Machine Connection

If it doesn't work

If the connection doesn't operate properly, first make sure that the answering machine is properly connected to the fax. One end of the answering machine line should be inserted in the "TEL. SET" socket on the fax (or another wall line socket), and the other end in the answering machine's telephone line socket.

If the connections are correct and A.M. mode still doesn't operate properly, the timing with which the answering machine and the fax operate are probably not well synchronized. Some common synchronization problems and their solutions are described below.

Are callers who want to leave a voice message being interrupted by the fax before they can do so?

The fax is set to take over the line and begin reception if it detects a specified duration of silence (called "Quiet Detect Time"). If your outgoing message contains a pause or the caller pauses while leaving a message, and the pause is longer than the specified duration, the fax will interrupt.

It is best to shorten or eliminate such pauses, but if necessary you can also try lengthening the Quiet Detect Time setting. This procedure is described in "Optional Settings" at the end of this chapter.

Are callers who want to send a fax manually having trouble doing so after your answering machine's outgoing message plays?

If so, the answering machine may be disconnecting the line (hanging up) before your fax has a chance to take over the line and begin reception. You can make your fax activate sooner by shortening the Quiet Detect Time setting. This procedure is described in "Optional Settings" at the end of this chapter.

Are you having trouble receiving documents sent by automatic dialling?

Make sure that your answering machine's outgoing message is less than 10 seconds long, and that your answering machine is set to answer on between 2 and 4 rings.

Inserting a short pause (about 4 seconds) at the beginning of your answering machine's outgoing message might also help, as this gives your fax a chance to clearly hear and detect the fax "calling" tone which the transmitting fax sends in the case of automatic dialing.

Optional A.M. Connection Settings

If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the answering machine connection to incoming calls.

Quiet Detect Time

This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception if a certain duration of silence is detected after the answering machine answers.

Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet Detect Time has been set to 4 seconds at the factory. This gives the best performance with most answering machines; however, you may need to adjust this setting depending on the disconnect time of your answering machine.

Some answering machines may have unusually fast disconnect times (equal to or very slightly less than 4 seconds), which means that the answering machine may disconnect the line before fax reception can begin. In this case, try a Quiet Detect Time setting of about 3 seconds.

If the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a message, try a longer Quiet Detect Time setting. If your outgoing message includes a period of silence, make sure that the setting is longer than that period of silence, or re-record your outgoing message to shorten the silence.

To change the Quiet Detect Time setting, reset Option Setting 10 as described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".

Note: Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. Note, however, that the fax machine will not be able to receive faxes sent manually by Normal Dialling.

If it still doesn't work...

With certain answering machines, it may not be possible to find a Quiet Detect Time setting which will allow both fax reception and uninterrupted voice message recording. In this case, callers on tone dial lines can still send faxes by pressing "5", "×", and "×" on their fax. This is the code for activating fax reception which can be changed by resetting Option Setting 5.

To use this method, turn off Quiet Detect Time by resetting Option Setting 10 to "00", and then change your outgoing message to inform callers on tone dial lines that they can send a fax by pressing "5", "×", "×", and then their Start key.

Chapter 7 Answering Machine Connection

Select Auto Receive

When this function is turned on, your fax will answer the call after 5 rings if the answering machine for some reason fails to answer before that time. This ensures that you will receive fax messages even if the answering machine's tape fills up or the answering machine is not turned on.

This function has been turned off at the factory. If you want to turn it on, reset Option Setting 13 as described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".

Note: When this function is turned on, make sure that the answering machine is set to answer on 4 rings or less. If it isn't, the fax will always answer first, preventing callers from leaving voice messages.

Quiet Detect Start Timing

This setting can be used to delay the start of the Quiet Detect Time function. For example, if you want to insert a pause at the beginning of your answering machine's outgoing message to ensure clear detection of fax signals, you can use this setting to delay the start of silence detection so that the pause will not cause the fax to take over the line.

Quiet Detect Start Timing has been turned off at the factory. If you want to use this function, turn it on by resetting Option Setting 11 to the desired delay time (1 to 15 seconds). This procedure is described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings". As a general guide, the delay time should be slightly longer than the pause before the outgoing message.

Off Hook Hold

This setting can be used to make the fax automatically take over the line and attempt reception after a set number of seconds.

For normal operation, we recommend that you do not turn this function on; however, if you are having trouble receiving faxes in A.M. mode, you can try various time settings to see if it helps. Turn the function on by resetting Option Setting 12 to the desired number of seconds (1 to 255 seconds). This procedure is described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".

Hint: This setting is useful in situations where you only want to receive fax transmissions (no voice messages), but still want to use the answering machine to play an outgoing message. In this case, if your outgoing message was, for example, 14 seconds, you would set the time to 15 seconds.

Blocking Reception of Unwanted Faxes

The Anti Junk Fax function allows you to block reception of faxes from parties which you specify. This saves paper by not printing out unwanted "junk" faxes.

To use this function, first turn it on by setting Option Setting 16 to YES as described in Chapter 9, and then enter the fax numbers from which you do not want to receive faxes as shown below.

Comments:

  • Up to 5 numbers can be entered in the Anti Junk Number List.

Memory

Your fax has a memory which can be used to temporarily store both incoming and outgoing documents.

Approximately 37 pages of average content (based on ITU-T Test Chart #1 at standard resolution) can be held in memory if they are all going to be transmitted (25 pages if Option Setting 20, Error Correction Mode, is set to YES), or 30 pages if they are all received (27 pages if Option Setting 20 is set to YES). Less can be held if any were scanned using fine or halftone resolution.

Sending documents from memory

With this function, the original document is scanned immediately, stored in memory, and then transmitted once the connection to the receiving machine is made. This is convenient when transmitting to places where the line is often busy, as it saves you from waiting to pick up the original document and frees the feeder for other operations. After transmission, the document will be cleared from memory.

Only one memory transmission can be set at a time.
The amount of memory currently occupied appears as a percentage in the display while the document is being scanned.

If the memory becomes full while the document is being scanned, MEMORY IS FULL will appear in the display.

Press the START key if you want to transmit the pages which have been stored up to that point in memory. The remaining pages will be ejected from the feeder. After transmission, the memory will be cleared and you can transmit the remaining pages. You will also need to transmit the page which was being scanned when the memory filled up.
Press the STOP key if you want to cancel the entire transmission.

Substitute reception into memory

This is a back-up function which is automatically activated if your fax runs out of paper, the printing ribbon needs replacement, or the paper jams.

When you have received a document in memory, FAX RX IN MEMORY will appear in the display, alternating with OUT OF PAPER, FILM END, or PAPER JAM. When you add paper, replace the imaging film, or clear the jam, the stored documents will automatically print out.

If you received documents in memory because the fax ran out of paper, be sure to add paper which is the same size as the paper previously used. If not, the document print-out size may not match the size of the printing paper.

Caution!

  • When documents are stored in memory, do not turn the power off. This will erase all of the contents.
  • If documents received in memory are lost due to a power failure or other interruption of the power supply, a "CLEAR REPORT" will be printed out when the power is restored. This gives information about the receptions lost, including the fax numbers of the transmitting machines if they are available.

Broadcasting

This function allows you to send the same document to as many as 20 different locations with just one operation. First store the document in memory, then enter the numbers of the receiving machines. The document will be transmitted to each location.

Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)

Polling allows you to request another fax machine to send a document to your fax machine. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your fax to both poll and be polled by others.

To use the polling function, you must first reset Rapid Key 15/POLL for use as a polling key. This is done by resetting Option Setting 17, as described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings". (Note that when Rapid Key 15/POLL is set as a polling key, it cannot be used for Rapid Key Dialling.)

Timer Operations

The Timer function allows you to set a transmission and/or polling operation to be performed automatically at a time you specify. One transmission operation and one polling operation can be set at the same time, and the times they will be performed can be specified up to 24 hours in advance.

As an example, you can use this function to take advantage of off-peak telephone rates without having to be there when the operation is performed.

  • Note: Only a Speed Dial number can be used to dial the receiving machine.

Transaction Report

This report is printed out automatically after an operation is completed to allow you to check the result. The fax is set at the factory to print out the report after every transmission, but you can change the setting to have it printed out under a variety of other conditions. This is done by changing Option Setting 7 as described in Chapter 6.

The same headings appear in the Transaction Report as in the Activity Report. See "Activity Report" in this chapter for an explanation of the headings.
The Transaction report cannot be printed out manually.

Help List

This list is obtained by pressing the COPY/HELP key whilst no documents are loaded and contains basic information on how to perform certain functions including dialling and changing reception modes. It also provides a complete list of options available in function mode.

Maintenance

Fax print head

Clean the print head frequently to ensure optimum printing performance. To clean the print head, first unplug the power lead, open the print compartment cover (press the release marked OPEN), and remove the imaging film.

Wipe the print head, frame and roller with a soft cloth dampened with denatured alcohol.

SHARP FO-1660M - Fax print head - 1

Caution!

  • Do not use benzene or thinner. Avoid touching the print head with hard objects.
  • The print head may be hot if your fax machine has just received a large number of documents. If this is the case, allow the print head to cool prior to cleaning.

Scanning glass and rollers

Clean the scanning glass and rollers frequently to ensure the quality of transmitted images and copies. Open the operation panel by pulling the front edge up (grasp it at the PANEL RELEASE mark), and wipe the scanning glass, white backplate, and rollers with a soft cloth.

Make sure that all dirt and stains (such as correcting fluid) are removed, as dirt and stains will cause vertical lines on transmitted images and copies.
Adhesive cellophane tape is useful for removal of debris from the rollers.

SHARP FO-1660M - Scanning glass and rollers - 1
Note: The opening of the cover is shown exaggerated. The cover does not open this wide.

The housing

Wipe the external parts and surface of the machine with a dry cloth.

Caution!

  • Do not use benzene or thinner. These solvents may damage or discolour the machine.

Troubleshooting

Problems and Solutions

The fax does not respond when you press any of its keys.·If a beep sound is not made when you press the keys, unplug the power cord and then plug it back in several seconds later.
Dialling is not possible.·Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into a power outlet as calls cannot be made or received when power is removed. ·Make sure that the telephone line is properly connected to both the TEL. LINE socket and the wall socket. ·Make sure that the fax is set to the correct dialling mode for your telephone line. See Option Setting 8 in Chapter 9.
The power is on, but no transmission takes place.·Make sure that the receiving machine has fax paper. ·Make sure that the telephone line cord is plugged into the "TEL. LINE" socket, and not the "TEL. SET" socket. ·If the receiving machine is in manual mode with no attendant, reception will not be possible. ·If the receiving machine is not a Sharp model, make sure it is G3 compatible. ·Check the display for error messages. ·Pick up the handset and check for a dial tone. Call the receiving machine by normal (manual) dialling, and confirm its response.
Automatic document feeding does not work for transmission or copying.Check the size and weight of the document (see "Transmittable documents" in Chapter 3).
Nothing is printed at the receiving end.Make sure that the document for transmission is placed face down in the feeder. Make sure that the fax paper is properly loaded at the receiving machine.
A distorted image is received at the other end.Noise on the telephone line may cause distortion. Try sending the document again. Make a copy of the document on your fax. If the copy is also distorted, your fax may have a problem. If the problem persists, call for service.
The power is on, but no reception takes place.Make sure that the telephone line cord is plugged into the "TEL LINE" socket, and not the "TEL. SET" socket.
The printing paper does not come out.The printing paper may be jammed. See "Clearing Jammed Printing Paper" in this chapter. Make sure that the printing paper is properly loaded in your machine.
The printing paper comes out blank when you try to receive a document.Make sure that the document is loaded properly in the feeder of the transmitting machine. Make a copy to confirm the printing ability of your machine.
