Outline of Functions Performed Using a PC

Your fax is equipped with a standard interface for connection to a personal computer (PC). It can serve as
a multi-functional product when connected to a PC, thus greatly enhancing its capabilities.

Printer Function

When connected to a PC, the fax can function as a printer. Documents created on a PC can be printed out
on the fax machine.
Confirm that the machine is in the PC mode. Then, fax-transmit the data from the PC to the telephone
number "888." The machine prints the data only when the dial number is "888."

Scanner Function

When connected to a PC, the fax can function as a scanner. Documents can be scanned in via the fax and
displayed and stored on the PC.
Confirm that the machine is in the PC mode. Then, set a document in the machine, enter the number
"888," and then press the START button. The machine scans the document while encoding the image data
of the document, and transfers the data to the PC, so that the PC receives the data as if it were receiving
from an other fax machine.
The number "888" commonly used by PC SCAN and PC PRINT can be changed by using the soft switch
function in the serviceman mode. Please contact your Technical Representative for more imformation.

PC Fax Function

When connected to a PC, the fax can transmit/receive directly from the PC.
This means that you can prepare a document on a PC and without having to print it, directly transmit the
document by fax to another party. You can also receive a fax document from another party and receive it
directly at your PC or print it.

PC mode setting items

PC MODE:
Select one from among "OFF," "TX," and "TX/RX."
When "OFF" is selected, the machine does not accept any command from the PC, and fax-transmits/
receives the data.
When "TX" is selected, the PC fax-transmits the data. The machine can fax-transmit the data only in the
manual mode through an external telephone. The data is fax-received by the machine. However, when it
is routed through the external telephone, the data can be fax-received by the PC as well.
When "TX/RX" is selected, the PC fax-transmits/receives the data. The machine can fax-transmit/
receive data only in the manual mode through an external telephone. However, if there is no response
from the PC in fax-receiving, the machine will fax-receive the data and print it instead.
