If you add sheets (max. 40) to the ASF, make sure you place
them under and not on top of those already present.
The fax machine has a memory that enables it to receive up
to 30 pages even if you do not add any paper.
I
NSERT THE PRINT CARTRIDGE
Once the cartridge that came free with your fax machine has
run out (this cartridge cannot be used more than once),
remember only to use original cartridges (see code printed at
the end of the manual). The use of non-original or refilled
cartridges makes the product's guarantee null and void.
If, after the cartridge has been installed, the "CHECK CAR-
TRIDGE" message appears again, try removing it and then
reinserting it, pressing it more firmly into position. If the mes-
sage remains on the display, remove the cartridge and clean
the electrical contacts of the cartridge and the carriage, see
"To clean the electrical contacts of the print cartridge",
section "Maintenance operations".

1. Push the paper support exten-
sion in the slot until it clicks into
position.
2. Holding the sheets by their up-
per edge, insert them by letting
them "drop" into the ASF without
folding or forcing them.
1. Lower the handset and place it
on a stable surface.
2. Open and lift the operator con-
sole as indicated by the arrows.
6. Close the operator console again and replace the handset on
its cradle.
The free cartridge provided with the machine allows you
to print up to 80 pages*, whereas the cartridges that you
will buy subsequently have a greater capacity and will
thus allow you to print up to 450 pages*.

Based on Test Chart ITU-TS n.1 (black coverage = 3,8%).
Once the cartridge has been inserted, the operator con-
sole closed and the handset replaced, the fax machine
starts the nozzle cleaning and checking procedure, which
is completed by:
•
the printing, on the sheet loaded automatically, of a diagnos-
tic test sheet containing:
- a numbered scale, for checking the flow of ink and the
electrical circuits of the cartridge nozzles.
- a group of graphics and text, so that the printing quality
may be evaluated.
•
the display shows the message: "CHECK PRINT OUT",
"1=EXIT 0=REPEAT".
Examine the print test sheet as follows:
1. Check that the numbered scale is not broken at any point
and that the black areas do not present any horizontal
white lines: if these conditions, which confirm that the car-
tridge has been inserted correctly and is working properly,
are respected, set the value 1. The fax machine returns to its
initial stand-by mode and is ready for use. The display shows
"AUTOMATIC 00" on the first line and the current date and
time on the second line.
2. On the other hand, if there are any breaks or white lines
present, set 0 to clean the nozzles again: if the new print test
continues to be unsatisfactory, repeat the procedure another
time. At this point:
• if the printing quality still does not meet your expectations,
clean the electrical contacts as indicated in the "To clean
the electrical contacts of the print cartridge" section
of the "Maintenance operations" chapter.
3. Take the cartridge out of its pack-
age and, holding it on both
sides, peel off the film covering
the nozzles.
4. Insert the cartridge in its com-
partment with the electrical con-
tacts facing towards the print car-
tridge compartment.
5. Push the cartridge until it clicks
into place.
