As a part of our policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design

and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice. The performance specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some deviations from these values in individual units. Important: This fax machine is not designed for use on a line which has call waiting, call forwarding, or certain other special services offered by your telephone company. If you attempt to use the fax machine in conjunction with any of these services, you may experience errors during transmission and reception of facsimile messages. The fax machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems. Important safety information Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not described in this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use the machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Take care not to spill any liquids on the machine. Unplug the machine from the power outlet and telephone jack and consult a qualified service representative if any of the following situations occur: - Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been exposed to rain or water. - The machine produces odors, smoke, or unusual noises. - The power cord is frayed or damaged. - The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install the machine where people may walk on the power cord. This machine must only be connected to a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded (3-prong) outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the machine and invalidate the warranty. Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the machine. This could create a risk of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into the machine that you cannot remove, unplug the machine and consult a qualified service representative. Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The machine could be seriously damaged if it falls. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

Points to keep in mind when setting up

Do not place the machine in direct sunlight. Do not place the machine near heaters or air conditioners. Keep dust away from the machine. About condensation If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensation may form on the scanning glass, preventing proper scanning of documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and wait approximately two hours before using the machine. Removing the packing tape 1 Open the print compartment cover. • Press as shown and pull the cover toward you. 2 Remove the tape.

Connecting the handset

Connect the handset as shown and place it on the handset rest. ♦The ends of the handset cord are identical, so they will go into either jack. Make sure the handset cord goes into the jack marked with a handset symbol on the side of the machine! Use the handset to make ordinary phone calls, or to transmit and receive faxes manually. 3 Close the printer cover.

Attaching the paper trays

Connecting the Power Cord

16 Connecting the Power Cord Plug the power cord into a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded AC (3-prong) outlet. Caution! ♦Do not plug the power cord into any other kind of outlet. This will damage the machine and is not covered under the warranty. ♦Make sure you have removed all of the packing tape before plugging in the power cord (see page 10). Plugging in the power cord without doing so may damage the machine. Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased at most telephone specialty stores. “CHECK CARTRIDGE” normally appears in the display the first time you plug in the machine. This message appears until you install the print cartridge. The machine does not have a power on/off switch, so the power is turned on and off by simply plugging in or unplugging the power cord.

Installing the Print Cartridge

17 1. Installation Installing the Print Cartridge Caution! Do not open the print compartment cover of the machine while it is printing. If opened while printing, printing will stop. Note: Keep ink cartridges sealed in their packages until you are ready to install them. It is recommended that you do not use a cartridge that has been left unused for a long time after opening, as the print quality may be considerably degraded. ♦Make sure the power cord of the machine is plugged in and paper is loaded before installing or replacing the print cartridge. 1 Open the operation panel. The initial starter print cartridge included with your fax can print about 300 letter-size pages. When replacing the print cartridge, use a SHARP FO-C60B cartridge. One cartridge can print about 600 letter-size pages. If PRINTER ERROR or PRINTER ERROR/CHECK PAPER appears... In the event that the display shows either of the above messages, you must clear the error before installing the print cartridge. The error can usually be cleared by opening and closing the print compartment cover (see Step 2), or if a paper jam has occurred, by removing the paper jam (see page 107). The above yields are at 4% coverage in INK SAVE mode.

For example, your message might go as follows: "Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling." ♦It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing. ♦If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic dialing is used. Using the Answering Machine Connection When you go out, activate the answering machine connection as follows: 1 Set the reception mode to A.M. 2 Set your answering machine to auto answer. ♦Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of two rings. If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialling. ♦If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that it will answer by the fourth ring. Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see page 61). If they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated. RESOLUTION/ RECEPTION MODE A.M. FAX TEL

Optional A.M. Mode Settings

68 How answering machine mode operates While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax will quietly monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax tone or a duration of silence greater than four seconds, it will take over the line and begin reception. ♦If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the answering machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly. ♦The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that voice messages were received, when only fax messages were received. ♦To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginning reception if you call in from an external phone or answer on an extension phone, press any three keys (other than the code to activate fax reception, "5", "*", and "*") on the dial pad of the phone. This can only be performed from a phone capable of tone dialling. When you return and turn off your answering machine, be sure to change the reception mode back to FAX or TEL! Optional A.M. Mode Settings If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the answering machine connection to incoming calls. Quiet Detect Time This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception if a certain duration of silence is detected after the answering machine answers.

Optional A.M. Mode Settings

69 5. Answering Machine Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet Detect Time has been set to 4 seconds at the factory. This gives the best performance with most answering machines; however, you may need to adjust this setting depending on the disconnect time of your answering machine. Some answering machines may have unusually fast disconnect times (equal to or very slightly less than 4 seconds), which means that the answering machine may disconnect the line before fax reception can begin. In this case, try a Quiet Detect Time setting of about 3 seconds. If the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a message, try a longer Quiet Detect Time setting. If your outgoing message includes a period of silence, make sure that the setting is longer than that period of silence, or re-record your outgoing message to shorten the silence. Note: Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. Note, however, that the fax machine will not be able to receive faxes sent manually by Normal Dialing. To change the setting, follow the steps below. 1 Press once and 3 times. 2 Press once and 5 times. 3 Press once. 4 Enter a number from 01 to 10, or enter 00 to turn off the function. Example: 3 seconds 5 Press to return to the date and time display. FUNCTION 0 3 STOP Display: OPTION SETTING QUIET TIME ENTER (00-10) 04 The display briefly shows your selection, then: QUIET START

Optional A.M. Mode Settings

70 Quiet Detect Start Time This setting can be used to delay the start of the Quiet Detect Time function. For example, if you want to insert a pause at the beginning of your answering machine’s outgoing message to ensure clear detection of fax signals, you can use this setting to delay the start of silence detection so that the pause will not cause the fax to take over the line. Quiet Detect Start Timing has been set to five seconds at the factory. You can change this setting by entering a 2-digit number equal to the desired number of seconds of the delay, or turn the function off by enttering 00. As general guide, the delay time should be slightly longer than the pause before the outgoing message. 1 Press once and 3 times. 2 Press once and 6 times. 3 Press once. 4 Enter a 2-digit number (from 01 to 15) for the number of seconds of the delay, or enter 00 to turn off the function. Example: 3 seconds 5 Press to return to the date and time display. FUNCTION 0 3 STOP Display: OPTION SETTING QUIET START ENTER (00-15) 05 The display briefly shows your selection, then: ON TAD FAILURE

Optional A.M. Mode Settings

71 5. Answering Machine On TAD Failure When this function is turned on, your fax will answer the call after 5 rings if the answering machine for some reason fails to answer before that time. This ensures that you will receive fax messages even if the answering machine’s tape fills up or the answering machine is not turned on. This function has been turned off at the factory. If you want to turn it on, follow the steps below: Note: When this function is turned on, make sure that the answering machine is set to answer on 4 rings or less. If it isn’t, the fax will always answer first, preventing callers from leaving voice messages. 1 Press once and 3 times. 2 Press once and 7 times. 3 Press once. 4 Press to turn on the function, or to turn it off. 5 Press to return to the date and time display.
