Getting started A quick and friendly trip through the basics of your Muratec fax machine.
Getting started What’s inside this section A quick introduction to fax in general ............................... 1.1 A quick introduction to fax in general General precautions ............................................................ 1.2 What is a “fax document”? Make sure it’s all out of the packaging .............................. 1.3 Simply put, a “fax document” is anything a fax user wants to fax to someone else. It can be just one page or as many pages as you need.
Getting started General precautions • To avoid serious injury, never disassemble the machine. Exposed power points inside the machine can cause electrical shock if you touch them. • Never turn off the power switch (or disconnect the plug) or remove the paper cassette during printing. Either can cause the fax machine to jam.
Getting started Make sure it’s all out of the packaging As you unpack your fax machine, check for the following items Drum cartridge Main unit Document hopper Paper tray Multipurpose tray Telephone line cord & UK line cable adapter AC power cord B4 A4 LTR F4 Operating instructions Toner cartridge Fuser cleaner Note: Be sure to save the box (or boxes) and packing materials for reshipment.
Getting started What are all the parts? Note: Don’t worry if some of the terms used here are unclear to you right now, we will explain everything fully. Once you’re more familiar with these terms, this page will be an even handier reference to your fax machine.

In addition to dialling phone and fax numbers, they also enter numbers when you’re making certain settings. 14. 15. 16. START 17. SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX— 18. BOOK DOC SIZE — Sets the fax for either A4-, B4-, A5R- or B5R-sized documents when you use the flatbed scanner. 19. MEMORY TRANSMIT — Selects which transmission mode your fax uses, whether from memory or from the document feeder.
Getting started You’re in control! We’ve worked hard to make sure your fax machine is easy for you to use. You can control it — not vice versa. So we’ve also tried to make these operating instructions just as easy. In that spirit, let’s make sure there’s no confusion about how to program your machine correctly. 31. One-Touch Keys — The keys labelled 01-40 (or 41-80, if you’re using fliptab B) offer one-touch dialling convenience.
Getting started Setting up Pick an installation spot before going ahead Please heed these powerful tips To keep your fax machine in perfect working order, the location should be: • • Use a standard three-pronged 230 VAC outlet. Clean — Dust build-up can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover, which can promote overheating! See next item.) • • Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.
Getting started Removing the transport screws Installing the printing supplies Your fax machine is shipped with transport screws for protecting your fax machine’s mirror carriage during shipping. Your fax machine prints incoming faxes and copies with a high-speed laser print engine. The engine requires two types of printing supplies, or consumables: Important: Be sure that you do not turn the power on until after you have removed the transport screws. Otherwise, damage could result. 1. 2.
Getting started 3. Unpack a new toner cartridge from its carton. Then, holding the toner cartridge with both hands, slowly shake it as shown (note the arrows). 7. Grip toner cartridge as shown, to avoid pinching your fingers between the toner cartridge and the printer frame. Keep the drum slot free of dust and other foreign materials. Do not touch the drum surface on the cartridge’s bottom.
Getting started Attach the paper-handling parts Attaching an optional handset You may purchase an optional handset for your fax machine. Here is how to attach the handset. Important: Do not connect the handset directly to a telephone wall socket. Instead, connect it only to your fax, as these instructions describe. 1. 2. 3. 1.12 Attach the document tray by inserting it into the appropriate holes, as shown. 1. Remove the two screw caps and screws. 2.
Getting started 5. Place the telephone handset onto the handset cradle. The cradle will press the handset’s “flash” button, hanging up the handset. Loading the paper cassette Before you load paper, note the following: A4, B4, A5R and B5R-sized paper. • The paper cassette can be adjusted to accept Attaching a second phone Want to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!) to your fax machine, so they can share the same phone socket? No problem. Before we go further, let’s explain the idea.
Getting started 4. Setting for paper size Your fax comes set for A4-sized paper. To set it to use another-sized paper: 1. Unlock the pin from the upper set of holes by reaching inside of the paper cassette and pressing the nib, as shown. 2. Remove the pin. 3. Insert the pin into the correct set of holes. Spare pin Important: If you try to use the different-sized paper which you set in this step, your fax will sound its alarm and display the following message when you try to print.
Getting started 6. Install the paper guide into the holes corresponding to the paper size you are installing. 2. Change the springs. If you wish to use the A4- or B4-sized paper, insert the silver spring into the cassette. If you wish to use the A5R- or B5R-sized paper, insert the blue spring into the cassette. 3. Insert the unused springs into the rear side of the cassette as shown.
Getting started Installing paper 1. Open the paper cassette from the front of your fax by gently pulling it toward you. 2. Insert the paper into the cassette. Note: Before you insert paper in the cassette, stack it so the leading edge and sides of the paper are even. • Make sure the stack of paper isn’t higher than the limit mark on the side of the cassette. • Place the edges of the top sheet under the metal tabs on the cassette’s left and right side (as viewed from its front, as shown).
Getting started Plug in and power up 1. Turn off the transport mode Important: Be sure you do not turn the power on until after you remove the transport screws. (See “Removing the transport screws,” page 1.10.) Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the LINE socket on the machine’s rear side. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard telephone wall socket, just as you would plug in a phone.
Getting started Adjust the monitor speaker’s volume You can set the volume of the monitor speaker, assuring that on-hook dialling will be as loud (or as soft) as you require. 1. Press MONITOR/CALL on the control panel. You now should hear a dial tone, and the display will show: ** Tel Mode ** Important: If you don’t hear a dial tone, make sure your fax machine is plugged into a working phone line. 2. If the volume you hear is satisfactory, skip to step 4. Otherwise, proceed to step 3. 3.
Getting started EasyStart Your Muratec fax machine comes with EasyStart. It guides you in entering the basic settings required for normal operation — so it’s easy for you to start using your machine quickly. (Of course, you can make other settings later or change these settings. We’ll explain in “Beyond the basics,” beginning on page 2.1.) Clearing settings before beginning Before using EasyStart, clear your machine’s built-in user data memory, which stores settings.
Getting started 6. Use the numeric keypad to enter the dialling number. To put in a dash for easier reading, as shown here, press DIALING OPTIONS once. The number may contain up to 20 characters (numbers any dashes). 10. Phone Type: Tone Program/Enter Your Fax Number 972-555-5525 Note: If you make a mistake or want to erase characters entered in a previous setting, press CANCEL to erase leftward.
Getting started Sending faxes Some guidelines Resolution, greyscale and contrast How big and small your pages can be Reviewing resolution and greyscale While you’ll probably be sending normal-sized documents most of the time, you can fax a piece of paper as small as a notepad sheet or nearly three feet long! • Normal resolution (indicated if neither the FINE light, S-FINE light nor HALFTONE light is on) — Suitable for most typed documents and simple drawings.
Getting started 2. To adjust the contrast setting, press , or CONTRAST. To light up an overly dark document, press . To darken an overly weak document, press . Here are the possible settings: Set Contrast Light Dark = Light — Lightens up overly dark originals. Set Contrast Light Dark = Provides some lightening of originals. Set Contrast Light Dark = Normal — Suited to most documents. Set Contrast Light Dark = Provides some darkening of originals.
Getting started Using memory transmission Your fax machine has a great memory! and, because it does, it can finish fax jobs more quickly than otherwise would be possible. By automatically scanning your fax document into, then transmitting from, its memory — rather than transmitting each part of the scan only as quickly as the receiving fax machine can receive it — your fax machine can hand you back your original document more rapidly.
Getting started Sending using the ADF 1. If the machine is already in Fax mode, skip to step 2. If the machine is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode. 2. Adjust the document guides — by sliding either of them to the left or right — to fit the page(s) you’ll be faxing. Your fax machine’s automatic document feeder will hold up to 50 pages of A4-sized paper, 25 pages of B4-sized paper or 15 pages of A3-sized paper. 3. 4. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.
Getting started At the end of the operation, your fax machine beeps and displays: 5. 972-555-2009 ** Complete ** Important: Whenever you transmit, whether this way or in the numerous ways we’ll describe throughout this manual, what actually appears on the top line of the display will depend upon how the remote fax number is set. The line may even be blank. Note: What if the call fails for some reason? See pages 1.27–1.28. Enter Scan Size A4 B4 A5 B5 6. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.
Getting started 8. Press START. Your machine will scan the document into memory. Note: The more “stuff” (or black coverage, to use the fax term) your machine “sees” on a page, the more slowly the page will feed through as the fax scans it — especially when you transmit in non-memory mode. Sending a page in greyscale mode or certain resolution settings makes your machine (see more detail). The same is true if you set the contrast to Dark.
Getting started 8. At the end of the transmission, your fax machine beeps and displays: 972-555-2009 ** Completed ** Cancelling sending a document To cancel a non-memory transmission, press STOP two or three times (if you’re using the ADF, the document will finish feeding through the machine) until the machine returns to standby mode. To cancel a memory transmission, you’ll need to use the Review function (see page 1.28 for an introduction).
Getting started 2. To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired number of rediallings. You may enter 2 to 5. In this example, we’ve entered 3. Set # Of Redials # (2-5): 3. 3 If the number of rediallings (in times) and redial interval (in minutes) you see is acceptable, skip to step 5. Otherwise, proceed to step 4. To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired number. Press ENTER to save the setting.
Getting started Receiving faxes Different ways to get the job done Tel Ready mode: when Auto Answer is off • You intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls and • You’re using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not connected to your fax machine and • You have installed an optional handset on your fax machine.
Getting started Fax Ready mode Use it if: You have your fax machine installed on a “dedicated” line (one it doesn’t share with a second phone). In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain number of rings (see page 2.4) and attempts fax reception. To select Tel Ready: 1. 2. Press PROGRAM, I, and then ENTER five times. The LCD will show your current reception mode. To change the reception mode, press PROGRAM repeatedly until “Fax Ready” appears.
Getting started What if you answer a fax call? Tel/Fax Ready mode With your fax machine in Fax/Tel Ready mode, you can easily use your fax machine on the same line as the other telephone(s) already in your home or office. Now, let’s deal with the two possible ways your phone(s) and your fax can live happily together on one line: • A phone connected directly (physically) to your fax machine (see page 1.12). • A phone, or phones, connected elsewhere in your home or office.
Getting started Ans/Fax Ready mode Using an answering machine with your fax machine Use it if: Here are a few additional steps you’ll need to follow if you’re connecting your answering machine to your fax machine: You’re using an answering machine which is connected directly to your fax machine; or you’re using a second telephone which is connected directly to your fax machine.
Getting started What if you answer a fax call? When the paper runs out Using a phone connected directly to your fax machine Getting the word from your machine If you answer a directly connected phone and hear fax tones, simply press START and hang up the handset. Your fax machine will go ahead and receive the fax call. When your fax machine runs out of paper, the machine beeps, the REPLACE PAPER light glows and the display indicates the “Please Supply Paper” message.
Getting started Making copies One of the best things about your fax machine is that it doubles as a copy machine. This makes it easy for you to keep copies of your important documents, such as insurance forms, receipts and letters.
Getting started How to copy 4. When using the ADF 1. If necessary, press COPY/FAX to change to Copy mode. Otherwise, proceed to step 2. 2. Prepare the document just as you would to send a fax (if necessary, review page 1.24). COPY 3. Note: For copying, your only resolution choices are either superfine or halftone mode. FAX Note: There are certain types of documents you never should insert into your fax machine. (You might wish to review “Things NOT to put in your fax,” page 1.21.
Getting started 9. When using the FBS 1. If necessary, press COPY/FAX to change to Copy mode. Otherwise, proceed to step 2. 2. Open the book cover, place your document face down on the FBS and align it with the scale on the right. COPY Press SORT COPY once or twice to “Toggle” (switch on or off) the sorting of copies, as desired. FAX 10. Press START to begin the copying process. Note: To stop the copying before it is through, press STOP.
Getting started 4. 5. Press ENTER. Then, if necessary, press PAPER SIZE ? again to select a same size of recording paper you place document on the ADF or FBS. You can select either A4-, A5-, A5R- or B5-sized paper. Copy Ready Num: 1 T:A4 100% T:A5 100% T:A5 100% T:B5 100% T:OHP 100% Note: When you set the transparency film, please select “OHP” mode. You can use the A4-sized transparency film. 6. 7. If necessary, select desired resolution, contrast, reduction/enlargement rate.
Getting started Directly entering a rate Using the numeric keypad, directly enter the reduction or enlargement rate by doing one of the following. While this setting is active, whenever someone tries to change the machine to Copy mode, the machine will sound a brief alarm tone and display: Fax Ready Copy Off Either . . . 1. 2. Press #. 3. Press # again. Enter your desired rate using the numeric keypad. You can set any rate from 50% reduction through 200% enlargement. . . . or . . .
Beyond the basics We’ve covered the “musts.” Now, let’s explore the goodies.
Beyond the basics What’s inside in this section Getting everything just the way you want it .................... 2.2 Autodialler .......................................................................... 2.7 It’s a great phone, too ...................................................... 2.16 Broadcasting .................................................................... 2.17 Delayed transmission ...................................................... 2.20 Batch transmission ................................
Beyond the basics Getting everything just the way you want it The EasyStart feature (see pages 1.19–1.20) guided you through the basic settings on your machine. In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings. 5. Contrast: Light Program/Enter Setting up for scans You can set three parameters regarding how your machine scans documents for faxing. 6.
Beyond the basics Using CODE to enter characters Making settings for printing faxes Certain settings give you a chance to enter some kind of identifying name. You can do this with the one-touch keys, but you may also use the CODE key in combination with other keys to produce a wide variety of characters, as well as regular letters and numbers. Here’s how to do it: You can set three parameters for printing received fax messages: 1. When the machine prompts you to enter a name, press CODE.
Beyond the basics Reduction margin Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimetres (mm). We’ll define it by explaining how it’s used: When a fax message enters your machine, it measures the message’s length and compares it to (a) the length of your selected paper plus (b) the reduction margin you have set. If the length of the incoming message is shorter than the sum of (a) and (b), your machine prints the message on just one sheet; otherwise, it prints the message on more than one sheet.
Beyond the basics 3. To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired number of rings, from one to nine. Here, we’ve chosen four rings. Set # Of Rings # (1-9): 4 Note: If you enter 0 (zero), the machine will beep briefly to warn you that it can’t accept that setting. 4. Press ENTER to save the setting. Setting ECM Do you ever hear static on the line during a phone call? It’s a real nuisance — but, worse, it may ruin your attempts to communicate via fax.
Beyond the basics Setting the transmission confirmation stamp You can set your fax machine so that it will automatically place a small stamp mark on the front of each original document that it successfully scans. Note: This feature is available only for documents through the document feeder. Important: Be sure that this feature is turned off if you are sending original documents you don’t want the fax to stamp. 1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
Beyond the basics Autodialler Your fax machine’s autodialler is one of its most versatile features. It stores your most frequently called phone and fax numbers for instant recall — so you don’t have to remember them. Now, it’s easy to dial even the most complicated international calls! Special dialling characters Which number do you find easier to read: 919725552009 or 9-1-972-555-2009? Autodialler basics Obviously, it’s the second one.
Beyond the basics Considering call groups As we’ll explain more fully later, your fax machine can broadcast — send the same fax to numerous remote machines (see “Broadcasting,” pages 2.17–2.19). As you “train” your autodialler, you may wish to set up call groups. These are sets of phone numbers, arranged as you see fit, which make broadcasting simpler.
Beyond the basics 10. 13. The display now shows: 02:Name _ :Upper or 02:Name :Upper S. W. Region Office_ The machine now is prompting you for a name — a Location ID, remember? — so you’ll be able to find it easily in the EasyDial directory (see page 2.14). If you do not wish to enter or change this number’s Location ID, skip to step 12. If you do wish to enter or change this number’s Location ID, proceed to step 11. 11. 02:Group No. _ or 02:Group No.
Beyond the basics One-touch fax dialling One-touch phone dialling Now that you’ve stored a one-touch number or two, let’s discuss the ease of using one-touch keys to make calls. You’ll probably use one-touch numbers to dial fax, not voice, calls most of the time.
Beyond the basics 4. 3. Press ENTER. The display shows: Erase One-Touch Check Program/Enter Important: If you want to quit without erasing the one-touch number you’ve selected, press PROGRAM. The fax will return to step 3. 5. Press ENTER to erase the number. Erase One-Touch ** Complete ** Enter Speed-Dial No. 005:No Number Stored 5. Press ENTER. Depending on whether you already have a number entered for this speed-dial number, the display now shows either: 005:Fax Number _ 6. 2.
Beyond the basics If you do wish to enter or change an alternate number, do so by using the numeric keypad the same way you did in step 6. 9. 10. Press ENTER. :Upper or 005:Name :Upper West Coast Sales_ The machine now is prompting you for a name — a Location ID, remember? — so you’ll be able to find it easily in the EasyDial directory (see page 2.14). If you do not wish to enter or change this number’s Location ID, skip to step 12.
Beyond the basics Fax dialling via speed-dial To dial a fax call using a speed-dial number: 1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2. If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode. 2. 3. 4. Insert the document. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary. Toggle between transmission from the feeder or from memory if necessary, by pressing MEMORY TRANSMIT. Note: This toggle affects only a transmission from the ADF. Transmission from the FBS is always memory transmission. 5.
Beyond the basics Printing a call group directory Erasing a speed-dial number 1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2. If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode. 2. Press PROGRAM, B, 2, ENTER. The display shows: Enter Speed-Dial No. 001:No Number Stored or Enter Speed-Dial No. 001:9-555-584-6950_ If 001 is the speed-dial number you want to erase, skip to step 5. 3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the three-digit identifier for the speed-dial number you want to erase.
Beyond the basics 4. Press SPEED DIAL/TEL INDEX twice. The display shows the alphabetically first listing in your fax machine’s EasyDial directory: Telephone Index [A] ABC Company :[01] Note: Here, the [A] indicates this listing begins with a character in the uppercase letters set. If it began with a lower-case letter, this would instead be an [a]; if it began with a symbol, this would instead be a [!]; or, if it began with a number, this would instead be a [0].
Beyond the basics It’s a great phone, too As you’ve probably guessed by now, your fax machine is a dandy phone, too! Let’s see just how dandy by looking briefly at the machine’s telephone features. Important: All of the instructions on this page assume you have attached an optional handset to your fax machine. Redial Press REDIAL/PAUSE to — you guessed it! — redial the last number you dialled. (Be sure that attempt, too, was also a regular phone call.
Beyond the basics Broadcasting The basics of broadcasting The fastest way to fax one document to multiple recipients is broadcasting — and your fax machine has very powerful broadcasting capabilities. You can use broadcasting from any function requiring the entry of a fax number! That means you can perform delayed broadcasting (see right column), SecureMail broadcasting (see pages 2.39–2.42) and even broadcasting to “hub” units for relay broadcast initiation (see pages 2.18–2.19).
Beyond the basics Relay broadcasting and relay broadcast initiation Relay broadcasting is a powerful function that takes advantage of a remote Muratec “hub” fax machine’s memory to reduce your total communication costs. A “hub” fax machine is one to which you send a document, so the “hub” can relay it to other machines which you don’t actually call. The “hub” performs a relay broadcast, and the machine which sends the original document to the “hub” has performed a relay broadcast initiation.
Beyond the basics 7. What you do now depends upon when you wish to begin initiating the relay broadcast. If you want it to begin now, skip to step 9. If you want to delay it, press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS, ENTER. Note: For more information on delayed transmission, see pages 2.20–2.22. 8. Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and the time when you want to begin initiating the relay broadcast. Then press ENTER. 9. Press START.
Beyond the basics Delayed transmission Take advantage of lower evening and weekend long-distance rates with delayed transmission. Your fax machine can store up to 99 delayed transmission commands, each of which you can program up to 31 days in advance. Important: If you program a full 99 delayed transmission commands, no further memory transmission is possible until the machine performs at least one of the delayed commands. (To review memory transmission, see page 1.23.
Beyond the basics • If the command is to perform a batch transmission, the display will show its batch box number (such as “B01”) rather than the command number. (See “Batch transmission,” pages 2.23–2.26.) Reviewing or cancelling delayed commands If you’ve stored a delayed command in your fax machine, it will hold it in memory until it either completes the command successfully or reaches its maximum number of redial attempts (see pages 1.27–1.28). Your machine can store up to 99 delayed commands.
Beyond the basics Reviewing or cancelling parts of a broadcast Printing a stored document You also can review or cancel certain numbers within a broadcast: Your fax machine can produce a printout of each document stored for delayed transmission. You’ll need to know the document’s command number, which you can confirm by either reviewing the commands (see previous page) or printing a delayed command list (see above). 1. Press REVIEW COMMANDS.
Beyond the basics Batch transmission Broadcasting (see pages 2.17–2.19) gets the same document to multiple locations, but what about the reverse? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just stack several documents into an electronic “file” and then send the entire contents of that file via fax to one location? Well, you can: it’s called batch transmission.
Beyond the basics 9. 10. When the date and time are as you wish, press ENTER. Erasing an empty batch box The display now shows: You can erase an empty batch box (if a box has documents stored in it, you cannot erase it; see the first “Important” note after step 5 below). To erase an empty batch box: 3:Name _ :Upper or 3:Name :Upper Bookkeeping_ The machine now is prompting you for a name for this batch box. If you do not wish to enter or change this batch box’s name, skip to step 12.
Beyond the basics Printing a list of your batch boxes Printing a list of stored batch documents You can easily print a list of your batch boxes. The list includes each box’s identifier number, the Location ID (if any), fax number and date/time of start. To print the list, press PROGRAM, N, 2, ENTER. You can print a list of all the documents stored in your machine’s batch boxes. This will provide you with the documents’ file numbers so you can erase or print them if necessary.
Beyond the basics Erasing a document stored in a batch box It’s easy to erase a document stored in a batch box set up on your fax machine: 1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2. If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode. 2. Press PROGRAM, N, 6, ENTER. The display will show: Erase Batch Doc. Enter Box No. _ 3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the number (1-5) of the batch box currently “holding” the document you wish to erase. 4. Press ENTER.
Beyond the basics Special features Your fax machine has numerous special features to make your communications easier. We’ll cover them here. Cover page For your greater convenience, your fax machine can store a cover page to send at the beginning of each outgoing fax. This page includes the current date and time, your Location ID and your fax number (as stored in the TTI) and a message of up to 40 characters in length. The information appears in a box similar to this: Toggling the cover page 1.
Beyond the basics Entering the cover page message 1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2. If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode. 2. 3. Press PROGRAM, K, 2, ENTER. Managing your fax with its journal and reports Setting the activity journal Now, use the one-touch keypad to enter a message for the cover page. The message can be up to 40 characters in length. You enter the message the same way you entered your fax name during EasyStart. We’ll review the process, here.
Beyond the basics Setting the reports: TCRs and RCRs You can set your fax machine to print reports. There are two different reports: a transmit confirmation report (TCR) and a receive confirmation report (RCR). You can receive a TCR after sending a fax to any group 3 fax machine, but the RCR function works only when you send a fax to a compatible Muratec machine. (Consult your authorised Muratec dealer, with any questions about such compatibility).

Just in case… Now, here’s how to care for your machine. Also, we’ll suggest procedures to try in case of trouble. Finally, the Glossary will explain fax terms you may encounter.
Just in case … What’s inside in this section Clearing paper jams ........................................................... 3.2 Print quality problems ....................................................... 3.5 Communications problems ............................................... 3.7 Caring for your fax machine ............................................ 3.13 Common questions .......................................................... 3.15 Glossary .......................................................
Just in case … Clearing paper jams We have designed your fax machine to work reliably for years. However, you may occasionally experience one type or another of paper jam. Here’s what to do. If an original document jams 1. To remove the document: 1. If an original document jams, the display will show: Open the scanner cover by holding the scanner cover release. Important: Hold the cover open. It won’t stay open by itself.
Just in case … If a printout jams inside your machine 4. To clear a printout (either a received fax or a copy) jammed inside your machine: 1. Open the top cover. 2. Open the printer cover. 3. Remove the jammed paper. ! CAUTION : The fuser unit becomes very hot. Do not touch the fuser unit when you are removing a paper jam. Note: Avoid getting “unfixed” toner on your hands and clothes. 5. Re-set the toner and drum cartridge. 6. 7. Gently close the printer cover.
Just in case … If a printout jams inside at a paper cassette’s side cover 1. Remove the multipurpose tray. 2. Open the side cover. 3. Carefully remove the jammed sheet(s) from the machine. 4. Close the side cover back into its normal position. 3.
Just in case … Print quality problems If your machine’s printouts (received faxes or copies) develop quality problems, check the following descriptions and, when you find the one which appears to be like yours, try the suggested solutions. If the problems do not go away, please contact your authorised Muratec dealer. Pages are blank • The drum cartridge or toner cartridge may not be installed correctly. Install each cartridge correctly. • The toner cartridge may be out of, or very low in, toner.
Just in case … Printouts have irregularities Printouts have white spots • The paper you’re using may have absorbed moisture, perhaps due either to high humidity or water having been spilled on the paper supply at some point. Toner will not adhere well to paper at the location where the paper has been wet. Replace the paper with dry paper and re-try the printing. • The charger may be dirty. Your machine normally cleans the charger automatically.
Just in case … Communications problems Occasionally during transmissions, your fax machine will detect a problem with the phone line or will encounter some other trouble in transmission or reception. When it does, it will alert you with an alarm. You can further identify the problem with displayed messages as well as printed check messages and error reports. In the next few pages, we’ll tell you more about these troubleshooting methods.
Just in case … What you see on the display What it means/What to do What you see on the display What it means/What to do Communication Error A communication error disrupted the reception or transmission. If you were transmitting, press STOP to clear the error message and then re-try the transmission. If you were receiving a fax, try to contact the other person and have him/her re-try the transmission. (The problem may be entirely with his/her machine, phone line, etc.) Enter No.
Just in case … What you see on the display What it means/What to do What you see on the display What it means/What to do Memory Overflow Enter Or Cancel During transmission (or copying), you tried to enter more pages into memory than your fax could store. Press ENTER to tell your fax to keep as many pages in memory as possible, or press CANCEL to delete from memory all pages stored during this operation (but not previous operations).
Just in case … What you see on the display What it means/What to do What you see on the display What it means/What to do Please Replace Toner Your toner cartridge is empty. Replace the toner cartridge. Toner Low Please Supply Paper The paper cassette or multiple paper feeder tray is out of paper. Add paper to the cassette and/or the tray. Your fax machine is almost out of toner. Contact your authorised Muratec dealer to purchase a new toner cartridge if you don’t already have one.
Just in case … Specific errors Transmission errors Let’s quickly summarise the error codes you may see on an error report: T.1.1 The remote fax machine didn’t respond to your machine. Call someone at the remote machine. T.1.4 Someone pressed STOP at the remote unit in the middle of the “handshake” (the very first part of the fax communication, when the two units “agree” on the settings they’ll share). T.2.
Just in case … “Check Message” printouts When a fax call goes awry and your machine detects an error, it produces an error printout headed by the words “Check Message”.
Just in case … Caring for your fax machine With proper installation and a little maintenance, your fax machine should give you dependable service for years to come. Although it requires little day-to-day care, you can take these simple precautions to keep it in top form: • Always make sure your fax machine is installed according to our specifications, including using an electrical surge suppresser. (If necessary, review “Pick an installation spot before going ahead”, page 1.9.
Just in case … 5. 6. Open the inner cover. If you have unsatisfactory printout quality Important: You must hold the cover open. It won’t stay open by itself. Your machine automatically cleans its charger and transport roller, two items which are very important to printout quality. So, if you notice poor printout quality (whether on received faxes or on copies), it may mean that your machine requires service. Review “Print quality problems” (pages 3.5–3.
Just in case … Common questions If you have a question about using your fax machine, read the section that applies to your particular question. Q: A: General questions Q: A: Where do I add ink or toner to make my fax machine’s printouts darker? You can not adjust the darkness of an incoming fax printout, but you can adjust the darkness of a copy (or copies) of a transmission. Insert a document and press CONTRAST repeatedly to adjust the contrast setting. “Dark” prints at the darkest setting.
Just in case … Q: A: Q: A: Q: A: Q: A: I don’t want to install a dedicated phone line for my fax machine. So I’ve connected the machine to a PBX phone system. When I get a fax call, all the phones ring! How do I prevent this? Call your PBX manufacturer or telephone company for assistance. Either may be able to convert one of the PBX lines for use only by your fax machine.
Just in case … How your fax machine works The concept of how a fax machine works is simple. Here’s a simple analogy. Let’s say you want to mail a gift to a friend: • You take the item, wrap it and send it. • Days later, your friend receives the package, unwraps it and uses it. Now, let’s apply that to fax communication. You put a page into your fax machine’s feeder and call a fax number. Your machine makes a satisfactory connection with the other machine, and then . . .
Just in case … Glossary This glossary contains terms and words you may encounter when discussing or reading about fax machines and fax communication. Please use these definitions for reference only. Of course, all information is subject to change without notice. A4, B4, A3 Standard stationery sizes defined by the International Standards Organisation, an agency of the United Nations. See also Paper sizes. Autodialling Enables users to store pre-programmed telephone numbers in the unit’s memory.
Just in case … Delayed command Transmission or polling operation set by the user to occur later, automatically, at a predetermined time. Great for reducing costs by making fax calls during times, such as late at night or on weekends, when telephone costs are lowest. Digital Using the binary system — i.e.
Just in case … MH Modified Huffman, the standard ITU-T Group 3 data compression method. A onedimensional coding scheme that compresses data in horizontal direction only. A feature of all Muratec fax machines, MH assures transmissions faster than one page per minute when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of manufacturer. See also MSE, SMSE.
Just in case … Redialling The dialling again, either manually or automatically, of the most recently dialled fax or phone number. Automatic redialling follows an unsuccessful dialling attempt. Relay broadcasting Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in internal memory, transmit the document to the memory of a remote “hub” fax and then instruct that unit to relay (i.e., re-transmit) the document to each fax in a call group in the “hub” unit.
