    potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual. To simplify the manual
    instrucions, all FAX and MFC models are referred to as Òfax machineÓ.
    Additionally, your fax machine has a Help Key. Press Help to print a list of basic
    operational steps and functions.

    About Fax Machines
    If youÕre a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little
    mysterious. YouÕll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and
    be able send and receive faxes easily.
    Fax Tones and Handshake
    When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling  tones,
    (CNG tones) Ñ soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. YouÕll hear them
    when you dial and press 
    Start, and they continue for 30 seconds after dialing.
    During that time, the sending machine must begin the ÒhandshakeÓ with the
    receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you
    are sending CNG tones over the phone line. YouÕll soon learn to listen for these
    soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you
    are receiving a fax message.
    The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones Ñ loud, chirping sounds. A
    receiving fax chirps for 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays
    ÒRECEIVE.Ó If your machine is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every call
    automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax
    machine continues to send the ÒchirpsÓ for 40 seconds, and the screen continues
    to display ÒRECEIVE.Ó To cancel the receiving mode, press 
    Stop.
    When your fax machine is in FAX/TEL (F/T), it answers with a short beep. After
    this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and then responds with receiving
    tones.
    The fax ÒhandshakeÓ is the time in which the sending machineÕs CNG tones and
    the receiving machineÕs ÒchirpsÓ overlap. This must be for at least two to four
    seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving
    the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG
    tones only last for 30 seconds after the number is dialed. Therefore, itÕs important
    for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.
    When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line,
    your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay
    special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD
    to your fax machine. 
    						
    							3INTRODUCTION
    ECM (Error Correction Mode)
    The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to check the
    integrity of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are
    possible only between machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you
    may send and receive fax messages that are continuously checked for their
    integrity.
    Sufficient memory must be available in your fax machine for this feature to work.

    Caution
    1Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
    2We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to
    protect the product against lightning storms.
    3Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically
    designed for a wet location.
    4Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the
    telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
    5Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
    6Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
    storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
    7Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
    8For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near  the
    equipment and should be easily accessible.

    Choosing a Location
    Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place
    that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the fax machine near a telephone jack
    and a standard, grounded power outlet.
      
    Avoid placing your fax machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters,
    air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the fax machine
    to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do not connect your fax
    machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.
    Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unitÕs memory. Do not
    connect your fax machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large
    appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid
    interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.
