• Your fax machine prints incoming faxes on a special kind of paper
called thermal paper.
• The fax's print head creates text and images by applying heat to
the thermal paper.
1
Pull the release marked PANEL RELEASE toward you and open the
operation panel.
2
Remove the packing paper from the paper compartment.
3
Unwrap the roll of fax paper and place it in the compartment.
• Important: The roll must be placed so that the leading edge of
the paper unrolls as shown. (The paper is only coated on one
side for printing. If the roll is placed backwards, the paper will
come out blank after printing.)

Insert the leading edge of the paper into the paper inlet. Continue to
push the paper through the inlet until it comes out of the opening in
the front of the fax.

UX-108: A short length of the fax paper will feed out. Grasp the paper
by the edge and pull upward to tear it off.
UX-178/UX-188/FO-375: A short length of the fax paper will feed out
and be cut off. (If this doesn't happen, repeat the loading procedure.)
Note: The UX-178/UX-188/FO-375 has a built-in anti-curl mecha-
nism that will help to reduce paper curling problems. The anti-
curl mechanism is more effective at the beginning of the paper
roll and less effective towards the end.
