About fax machines

Custom features

Do you have BT's Call Minder/Voice Mail on the phone line?

If you have Call Minder/Voice Mail on the phone line where you will install your new machine, there is a strong possibility that Call Minder/Voice Mail and the machine may conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.

Why should there be problems?

Since both the machine and Call Minder/Voice Mail will pick up the call, after the number of rings you have set, each of them has the ability to keep the other from receiving calls.

For example, if Call Minder/Voice Mail is set to answer after two rings and your machine is set to answer after four, Call Minder/Voice Mail will stop your machine from receiving faxes.

If you set Call Minder/Voice Mail and this machine to answer after the same number of rings, there is no way of knowing which one will answer first. It is important to remember that neither Call Minder/Voice Mail nor the machine can pass the call back to the other after the call has been answered.

How can you avoid possible problems?

A very good way to avoid problems like the one mentioned, is to get a second phone number on your present phone line.

Many people with Call Minder/Voice Mail choose an alternative service, which is called "BT Call Sign", and they are very satisfied with it.

Another way to avoid possible problems is to replace Call Minder/Voice Mail with an answering machine. This machine is designed to work with an answering machine or TAD (telephone answering device). (See Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD) on page A-15.)

Fax tones and handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. You'll hear them after you dial and press Start and they will continue for about 60 seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the "handshake" or connection with the receiving machine.

Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You will soon learn to listen for these quiet beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the LCD shows Receiving.

If your machine is set to the Fax Only mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up, your machine will continue to send the "chirps" for about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues to show Receiving. To cancel receiving, press Stop/Exit.

The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the receiving machine’s “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so both machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60 seconds after the number is dialled. So it is important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an error. ECM transmissions are only possible between fax machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously being checked by the machine.

- Your local area code minus any leading "0" ("9" in Spain)
A space
- Your number on the local exchange, using spaces to aid readability as appropriate.

As an example, if the machine is installed in the United Kingdom and the same line is to be used for both fax and voice calls, and your national telephone number is 0161 444 5555, then you must set the fax and telephone number parts of your station ID as: +44 161 444 5555.

NOTICE (For USA)

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such messages clearly contain, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity or individual.

To program this information into your machine, see Setting the Date and Time on page 2-1 and Setting the Station ID on page 2-2.

Setup Receive

Basic receiving operations

Choosing the Receive Mode

There are four different Receive Modes for your machine. You can choose the mode that best suits your needs.

LCD How it works When to use it
Fax Only(automatic receive)The machine automatically answers every call as a fax.For dedicated fax lines.
Fax/Tel(fax and telephone)(with an external or extension telephone)The machine controls the line and automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax it will receive the fax. If the call is not a fax it will ring (pseudo/double ring) for you to pick up the call.Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax messages and few telephone calls. You cannot use an answering machine on the same line, even if it is on a separate phone socket on the same line. You cannot use the telephone company's Voice Mail in this mode.
External TAD(with an external telephone answering machine only)The external telephone answering machine (TAD) automatically answers every call.Voice messages are stored on the external TAD. If it is a fax call, the machine receives the Fax.Use this mode, if you want to use an answering machine connected to your machine.The External TAD setting works only with an external answering machine. Ring Delay does not work in this setting.
Manual(manual receive)(with an external or extension telephone or BT Call Sign or Distinctive Ring)You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself unless you are using BT Call Sign or the Distinctive Ring feature.Use this mode if you do not receive many fax messages, use BT Call Sign or the Distinctive Ring, or if you are using a computer on the same line.If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call, then hang up. (See Fax Detect (Easy Receive for USA and Canada) on page 4-3.)

The Ring Delay sets the number of times the machine rings before it answers in Fax Only or Fax/Tel mode.

1 If it is not illuminated in green, press (Fax).
2 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 1.
3 Press ▲ or ▼ to select how many times the line rings before the machine answers (00 - 04).

Press Menu/Set.

(If you select 00, the line won't ring at all.)

4 Press Stop/Exit.

Setting the F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)

If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you'll need to decide how long the machine will signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring when you have a voice call. (If it's a fax call, the machine receives the fax.)

This pseudo/double-ring happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the machine rings and no other phones on the same line will ring with the special pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still answer the call on any telephone on the same line as the machine. (See For Fax/Tel mode only on page A-13.)

Dialling options

Access codes and credit card numbers

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long distance carriers when you make a call. Rates may vary depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance carriers and credit card numbers as One-Touch and Speed-Dial numbers. You can store these long dialling sequences by dividing them and setting them up on separate One-Touch and Speed Dial numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialling using the dial pad. (See Storing One-Touch numbers on page 5-1 and Storing Speed-Dial numbers on page 5-2.)

For example, perhaps you have stored '555' on One-Touch key 1 and '7000' on One-Touch key 2. If you press One-Touch key 1, One-Touch key 2, and ◆ Start, you will dial '555-7000'.

To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number with manual dialling using the dial pad. For example, to change the number to 555-7001 you could press One-Touch key 1 and then press 7001 using the dial pad.

Pause

Press Redial/Pause to insert a 3.5-second pause between numbers. If you are dialling overseas, you can press

☐/☐。 Redial/Pause as many times as needed to increase the length of the pause.

Tone or Pulse

If you have a Pulse dialling service, but need to send Tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals.

1 Lift the handset of the external phone.
2 Press # on the control panel of your machine. Any digits dialled after this will send tone signals.

When you hang up, the machine will return to the Pulse dialling service.

If you are having difficulty with your machine

If you think there is a problem with the way your faxes look, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your machine. Check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips.

DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS
Printing or Receiving Faxes
Condensed printHorizontal streaksTop and bottom of sentences are cut off.Missing linesUsually this is caused by a poor telephone connection. If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection with static or interference on the telephone line. Ask the other party to send the fax again.
Poor print quality. See Improving theprint quality on page 11-13.
Vertical black lines when receivingSometimes you may see vertical streaks/black lines on the faxes you receive. Your machine's primary corona wire may be dirty, or the sending party's fax scanner may be dirty. Clean your primary corona wire (See Cleaning the corona wire on page 11-21), or ask the sender to make a copy to see if the problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine. If the problem continues, contact your sales or service representative.
Received faxes appear as split or blank pages.If the received faxes are divided and printed on two pages or if you get an extra blank page, your Paper Size setting may not be correct for the paper you are using. (See Setting the Paper Size on page 2-5.) Make sure that auto reduction menu setting is turned on. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax (Auto Reduction) on page 4-4.)
Phone Line or Connections
Dialling does not work.Check for a dial tone. Change Tone/Pulse setting. (See Tone or Pulse on page 5-4.) Check all line cord connections. Check power cord connection. If an external phone is connected to the machine, send a manual fax by lifting the handset of the external phone and dialling the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Start.
The machine does not answer when called.Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup. (See Basic sending operations on page 3-4.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone company to check the line.
Sending Faxes
Poor fax send qualityTry changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check your machine's scanner operation. If the copy quality is not good, clean the scanner.(See Cleaning the scanner on page 11-19.)
Transmission Verification Report says 'RESULT:NG' or 'RESULT:ERROR'.If you send a PC FAX message and get 'RESULT:NG' on the Transmission Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To gain extra memory, you can turn off Fax Storage (See Turning off Remote Fax Options on page 6-2), print fax messages in memory (See Printing a fax from the memory on page 4-5) or cancel a Delayed Fax or Polling Job (See Cancelling a fax in progress on page 3-8). If the problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your phone line.
If you frequently get transmission errors due to possible interference on the phone line, try changing the Compatibility setting to Basic or Normal. When you change the Compatibility to Basic, the ECM feature is not available.
Vertical black lines when sending.If the copy you made shows the same problem, your scanner is dirty.(See Cleaning the scanner on page 11-19.)
Handling Incoming Calls
The machine 'Hears' Voice as CNG Tone.If Fax Detect is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a calling fax machine and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressingStop/Exit.Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect to Off.(See Fax Detect (Easy Receive for USA and Canada) on page 4-3.)
Sending a Fax Call to the machine.If you answered at the machine, pressStartand hang up immediately. If you answered on an external or extension phone, press your Fax Receive Code (default setting is(1). When your machine answers, hang up.
Custom features on a single line.If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Voice Mail, an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single phone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving faxes.For Example:If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax, the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. The ECM feature of this product should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone system industry and is common to all devices that send and receive information on a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight interruption is crucial to your business, a separate line with no custom features is recommended.
Menu Setting Difficulties
The machine beeps when you try to access the Setup Receive and Setup Send menus.If the Faxkeyis not illuminated, press it to turn on Fax mode. The Setup Receive setting (Menu/Set, 2, 1) and Setup Send setting (Menu/Set, 2, 2) are available only when the machine is in Fax mode.
Copy Quality Difficulties
Vertical streaks appear in copies.Sometimes you may see vertical streaks on your copies. Either the scanner or the primary corona wire is dirty. Clean them both. (See Cleaning the scanner on page 11-19, Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 11-20 and Cleaning the drum unit on page 11-14.)
Printer Difficulties
The machine does not print. Pleasemake sure:• The machine is plugged in and the power switch is turned On. (See the Quick Setup Guide on page 7.)—OR—• The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed properly. (See Replacing the drum unit on page 11-24.)—OR—• The interface cable is securely connected between the machine and computer. (See the Quick Setup Guide.)—OR—• The correct printer driver has been installed and selected.—OR—• Check to see if the LCD is showing an error message. (See Error messages on page 11-1.)—OR—• The machine is online. Click Start and then Printers and Faxes. Right-click 'TYPE 1190'. Make sure that “Use Printer Offline” is unchecked.
The machine prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage.Turn off the machine's power switch and then on again. If the error message continues leave the machine for several minutes and then try it again. (The machine can be turned off for up to 4 days without losing faxes stored in the memory.)
The machine prints first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing.Your computer is not recognizing the machine's input buffer full signal. Please make sure you connect the interface cable correctly. (See the Quick Setup Guide.)
The machine cannot print full pages of a document.Out of Memory message occurs.Reduce the printing resolution.Reduce the complexity of your document and try again. Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within your application software.Turn on the Page Protection function.
My headers or footers appear when I view my document on the screen but do not appear when I print them.Your machine can print 62 lines per page. The top two lines and bottom two lines are a restricted area that will not accept print. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
Paper Handling Difficulties
The machine does not feed paper.The LCD shows No Paper Fed or a Paper Jam message.If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray. If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the paper tray. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again. Check that the manual feed mode is not selected in the printer driver.If the LCD shows Paper Jam and you still have a problem, see Paper jams on page 11-5.
The machine does not feed paper from the manual feed slot.Reinsert the paper firmly, load one sheet at a time. Make sure that manual feed mode is selected in the printer driver.
How can I load envelopes?You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application software must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup menu of your software. You should refer to the manual provided with your software application.
What paper can I use?You can use plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels that are made for laser machines. (For information on paper you can use, see About paper on page 1-9.)
How can I clear paper jams? See Paper jams on page 11-5.
Print Quality Difficulties
Printed pages are curled.Low quality thin or thick paper can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See About paper on page 1-9.)
Printed pages are smeared.The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using—OR—The print media may be too thick or have a rough surface.
Printouts are too light.If this problem occurs when making copies or printing received faxes, turn off Toner Save mode in the machine's menu setting. (See Toner Save on page 2-8.) Set Toner Save mode to off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver.

Cleaning the drum unit

Dust, paper powder, glue, and so on may stick to the surface of the photosensitive drum (OPC) and cause black or white spots to appear on printed documents.

Make a few copies of a blank, white sheet of paper. (See Making multiple copies on page 8-2.)

If you still see the spots on printed documents after making multiple copies, clean the drum unit as follows:

1 Remove the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly, and then remove the toner cartridge from the drum unit.
2 Position the print sample in front of the drum unit so you will know the exact position on the drum that is causing the poor print.

Replacing the toner cartridge

The toner cartridge can print up to 2,500 pages. When the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD shows Toner Low. Actual page count will vary depending on your average type of document (i.e., standard letter, detailed graphics).

Note

It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the Toner Low warning.

Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.

We recommend that you clean the machine and drum unit when you replace the toner cartridge. (See Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 11-20 and Cleaning the corona wire on page 11-21.)

IMPORTANT

This machine is designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine our branded toner cartridges. We cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications are used. We do not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine our branded cartridges with this machine.
If damage is caused to the drum unit or other part of this machine as a result of using other manufacturer's products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.
■ Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it in the machine. If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long period of time, the toner life is shortened.
■ Do not touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations to prevent any degradation to the print quality.

Replacing the drum unit

The machine uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the LCD shows

Change Drum Soon, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time to buy a new one.

Even if the LCD shows Change Drum Soon, you may be able to continue printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while. However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality (even before Change Drum Soon appears), then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit. (See Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 11-20.)

RICOH FAX 1190L - Replacing the drum unit - 1

IMPORTANT

When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or wash with cold water.

RICOH FAX 1190L - IMPORTANT - 1

Note

The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There are many factors that determine the drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and how much toner you use for the number of pages per print job. The estimated drum life is up to 12,000 pages. The actual number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates.

Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.

BT Call Sign (For U.K. Only)

This machine feature lets you use the BT Call Sign subscriber service which allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate a second phone number (on the same phone line) just for receiving faxes.

Note

■ You can switch BT Call Sign off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function. The machine will automatically answer incoming calls that use your new fax number.

■ When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Manual mode will not respond to incoming telephone calls, since the number you use for telephone calls will use the normal ring pattern.

Note

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom features on your telephone line, it may affect the way your machine works. (See Custom features on page 1-13 and Custom features on a single line. on page 11-10.)

■ If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully.

Distinctive Ring

This user's guide uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but different telephone companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.

What does your telephone company's 'Distinctive Ring' do?

Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service allows you to have more than one number on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an extra line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

What does 'Distinctive Ring' do?

The machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your machine to take full advantage of the telephone company's Distinctive Ring service. The new phone number on your line can just receive faxes.

RICOH FAX 1190L - What does 'Distinctive Ring' do? - 1

Note

You must pay for your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service before you program the machine to work with it.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that you will install your new machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, the Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the machine can work together without any problems. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other's operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions on next page to 'register' the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine can recognize its incoming calls.

RICOH FAX 1190L - Do you have Voice Mail? - 1

Note

You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it off temporarily, and turn it back on later. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this feature.

Before you choose the ring pattern to register

You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by this machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you.

Note

If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call your telephone company and ask for one that is shown.

■ The machine will only answer calls to its registered number.
The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)
If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the 'fax number' within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the 'voice number' is called, the machine will not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern

Very important!

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode means you must answer all the calls yourself. You can not change the receive mode to another mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® (Distinctive Ringing)

Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is an enhanced Public Switched Telephone Service (PSTS) offered by Telstra® that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring pattern. Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is a call handling feature that helps users distinguish voice and facsimile calls. With FaxStream® Duet®, incoming calls to a fax number are announced by a different, distinctive ring signal. Only one call can be answered (or made) at any one time and while this call is in progress, incoming calls to either number will be presented with a busy tone.

Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes.

RICOH FAX 1190L - Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® (Distinctive Ringing) - 1

Note

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. If you don't have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode means you must answer all the calls yourself. You can not change the receive mode from Manual mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

What is the Advantage of using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Function?

Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. When the voice call comes in, all phones (extension and external) and the fax machine will ring to alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in, the fax machine will answer automatically without ringing, whereas the extension and external phones will ring with a distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more efficient way of operating a Fax machine with an extension phone as you do not have to use the remote activation codes. It gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.

How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Work?

Incoming calls to the voice number, will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, followed by a pause, repeated, while the new fax number will have a different ring pattern of three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular intervals.

When FaxStream® Duet® is On and you receive a voice call all extension and external phones will ring with a standard ring pattern. The fax machine will ring on the third ring with a standard ring pattern. All external and the extension phones will continue to ring until you or a telephone answering device can answer the voice number.

When FaxStream® Duet® is On and you receive a fax call on the Duet® number the Fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message without ringing. On the other hand, all extension and external phones will ring with a distinctive ring pattern. Do not answer the phone as you are receiving a fax message.

Telephone Service for New Zealand

FaxAbility

FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring.

How Will the Fax Machine Treat All Other Numbers?

FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) number. When a call comes in to your main number, all the phones will ring. You can set an external answering device (TAD) to answer calls on the other number(s). (See the chart in the following page.)

What is the Advantage of Using the FaxAbility Function?

Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The fax machine will answer with receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code. And the people who call to talk on your main number will not have to talk to your fax machine. Basically, it gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.

How Does FaxAbility Work?

Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while the new number will have a ring pattern of long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is On, you will not hear the first ring of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the extension phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine always listens to the ring pattern before it answers, so do not pick up the phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either you or a telephone answering device can answer the main number(s).

How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON

The FaxAbility function is designed to accommodate the FaxAbility service provided by Telecom. To change the setting, repeat Steps 1-3; Step 2 is where you can select either On or Off.

Call Waiting beeps caused by incoming calls on your main number can affect fax transmissions. If you have FaxAbility Service but don't have Call Waiting, you need do nothing at this stage. If you do have Call Waiting as well as FaxAbility, set the Call Waiting menu option to On. See below.

Caller ID (For Singapore and Hong Kong)

The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local phone companies. This service provides you, by means of the screen display, the telephone number (or name) of your caller as the line rings. (See Printing Caller ID List on page A-12.)

After a few rings, the screen displays the telephone number of your caller (or name, if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears from the screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.

■ You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.

■ Out of Area display means call originates outside your Caller ID service area.

■ Private Call display means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.

Advanced receiving operations

Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension, or an external telephone that is correctly connected to the machine, you can make your machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 51, the machine starts to receive the fax.

If you answer a call and no one is on the line, you should assume that you're receiving a manual fax.

Press 51 and wait for the chirp or until the machine's LCD displays Receiving, and then hang up.

RICOH FAX 1190L - Operation from extension telephones - 1

Note

You can also use the Fax Detect feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Fax Detect (Easy Receive for USA and Canada) on page 4-3.)

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time

(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

(For USA and Canada only)

If you're at the machine, you can lift the handset to answer.

(For EU model only)

If you are at the machine with external telephone connected to the EXT jack of the machine, lift the external telephone's

handset, and then press Tel/R to answer.

(For Asia/Oceania model only)

If you are at the machine with external telephone connected to the EXT jack of the machine, lift the external telephone's handset, and then press Hook/Hold to answer.

If you're at an extension phone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 between the pseudo/double rings.

After taking the call, if no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing 51.

Using a cordless external handset

If the base unit of the cordless telephone is connected (see page A-14) and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay.

Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD)

Sequence

You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine "listens" for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.

The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.

RICOH FAX 1190L - Sequence - 1

Note

If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.

If You Subscribe to your Telephone Company's Distinctive Ring Service: You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe to your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your machine, and use that number as a fax number. The recommended setting is at least four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone company's Distinctive Ring Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver setting.

If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service: You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your machine. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to control the phone line. (See illustration below.)

RICOH FAX 1190L - Note - 1

Improper Setup

Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line.

When the TAD answers a call, the LCD shows Telephone (for EU) or Ext. Tel in Use (for USA, Canada and Asia/Oceania).

Connections

The external TAD must be connected as shown in the previous illustration.

1 Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The machine's Ring Delay setting does not apply.)
2 Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.
3 Set the TAD to answer calls.
4 Set the Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 4-1.)

Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD

Timing is important in recording this message.

1 Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

2 Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

RICOH FAX 1190L - Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD - 1

Note

We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it.

Special line considerations for U.K.

Using extension telephones (For U.K. only)

It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call. Additionally, Fax receive code may not operate reliably in such a simple configuration.

This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a transmission at a pre-set time). This pre-set job may coincide with someone picking up an extension handset.

Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a master/slave configuration (see fig. 2 on next page). In such a configuration, this machine can always detect whether a telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line during that time. This is known as “telephone off-hook detection.”

The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 on the next page, and the recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure 2.

This new connection configuration can be arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX (PBX) maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be

inserted into the modular socket of the white "T"-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

Note

These phones are now connected as external devices as per page A-14, because they are connected to the fax machine via the T-connector.

Special line considerations for USA and Canada

Roll over phone lines

A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.

Your machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call would be transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best on a dedicated line.

Two-line phone system

A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the line for your machine. (See Fax Detect (Easy Receive for USA and Canada) on page 4-3.)

Converting telephone wall outlets

There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.

The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple adapter.

Triplex Adapter RJ14 L1 L2 L1+L2 RJ11 RJ14

Installing machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone

When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the machine on Line 2, which is explained in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.

1 Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine.
2 Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.
3 Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
4 Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the left side of the machine.

    I["Line"] --> J["Line"]

External Two Line TAD machine

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machine's wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.

Multi-line connections (PBX)

Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine.

If the machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received.

If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX

1 It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate properly under all circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PBX.
2 If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to Manual. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3 Make sure the Phone Line Type is set to PBX. (See Setting the Phone Line Type (For EU model only) on page 2-3.)

Custom features on your phone line

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operation of your machine. (See Custom features on a single line. on page 11-10.)
