Sending a Fax Manually Load the document(s) face up into the ADF. Place a single document face down on the document glass. For details about loading a document, see page 7.6. Adjust the document resolution to suit your fax needs (see page 7.9).
Confirming Transmission When the last page of your document has been sent successfully, the machine beeps and returns to Standby mode. When something goes wrong while sending your fax, an error message appears on the display. For a list of error messages and their meanings, see page 9.13.
Receiving a Fax About Receiving Modes • In Fax mode, the machine answers an incoming fax call and immediately goes into the fax reception mode. • In Tel mode, you can receive a fax by pressing Manual Dial (you can hear a fax tone from the sending machine) and then pressing Start on the control panel of your machine.
Loading Paper for Receiving Faxes The instructions for loading paper in the paper tray are the same whether you are printing, faxing, or copying, except that faxes can only be printed on Letter-, A4-, or Legal-sized paper. For details about loading paper and setting the paper size in the tray, see page 2.7 and page 2.21.
Receiving Automatically in Ans/Fax Mode To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT jack on the back of your machine. See page 2.11. If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it would normally. If your machine detects a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive the fax.
Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode “Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds.
When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The machine requires several rings to learn the pattern. When the machine completes learning, the LCD displays “End DRPD [Setup]”. If the DRPD setup fails, “DRPD Ring Error” appears. Press Enter when “DRPD Mode”...
Automatic Dialing One-touch Dialing The 20 one-touch buttons on the control panel lets you store frequently-used fax numbers and dial a number automatically with the touch of a button. Using the 21 - 40 button, you can store up to 40 fax numbers on the one-touch buttons.
Press Enter when the name appears correctly or without entering a name. To store more numbers, press a one-touch button and repeat steps 2 through 4. To return to Standby mode, press Stop/Clear. Sending a Fax using a One-touch Number Load the document(s) face up into the ADF.

Cleaning Your Machine To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur. AUTIONS • Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Page 170
AUTIONS • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. • Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
Cleaning the Scan Unit Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the day, as needed. Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
Redistributing Toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “Toner Low.” You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. Open the front door.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge When the display on the control panel shows the warning message, “[Toner Empty],” the machine stops printing. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Open the front door. Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out. Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently shake it horizontally 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly. Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets.
